Further time. In the absence of Trustee Conrad, chairman of the Committee on Ordinance, Trustee Lewis offered a draft of an ordinance closing up Kraomer street and Carlton Avenue in the Zenn tract. To first reading and this part of the new sugar factory is being done in strictly first-class shape. Five hundred empty cement barrels, littering up the landscape along the railroad track near the main building, tell the story of the great quantity of cement used in the foundation. The erection of the factory is under the immediate supervision of E. F. Dyer, whom all sugar beet raisers hereabouts pleasurably remember. Mr. Dyer is carrying out his original purpose of having smoke issue from the chimneys of a sugar factory in this immediate section. With him is J. Ross Clark, one of the heavy stockholders in the enterprise, and A. W. Jones, bookkeeper and private secretary. A temporary frame office has been erected to the east of the main building, and a line of posts and lumber stretched on the outskirts of the factory lot forecast the nature of the fence soon to extend about the enclosure. To south of the factory building a distance of a quarter of a mile are the eating apartments and sleeping quarters, in two frame buildings 90x25 feet each. Here Judge Marks is found, seated in his private office, and directing the work of renting and selling land for the culture of sugar beets. Mr. Capitain is temporarily absent from the works when we call, being in Los Angeles on business connected with the factory. In the main dining hall two long tables run the entire length of the premises, and the mechanics and laborers seem to be well fed. Apart from the main hall is the private dining room of the factory officials, and close by is the store room, kitchen and pantry. We find the chef de cuisine occupied with the preparation of a savory evening meal. South of the eating house is the building devoted to the sleeping apartments. Ten bedrooms are partitioned off for the use of the officials and head mechanics, and in the western part of the building four tiers of bunks provide ample accommodation for the sleeping of the close upon a hundred men employed about the factory buildings. Prominently displayed at intervals within are noticees that no smoking is allowed, but the smell of cut plug is strong, and it is not too much to say that the tired laborer enjoys the solace of a whiff of the pipe before turning in for the night. A $5,000 depot will be erected by the Southern Pacific, and already there is considerable talk of a townsite springing up in the neighborhood. The construction train is found on a siding, and the report is authoritatively given out that the railroad will be extended to Long Beach. On Saturday the first carload of machinery arrived from Cleveland, and a trainload of ten cars more is looked for to arrive this week. An air of business activity is prevalent everywhere, and it does one good to see the evidences of a sugar factory going up almost at our very doors. THE WATER BOARD. CHANGE IN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE OUTLYING DISTRICT SOUGHT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S Kleinkeiten. The rains have started the grass grow. This is the horse- Clipping season, andthe click of shearer is heard in the land. It is quite evident that an organized band of petty thieves are operating in town. It is reported that Postmaster Hansen of Placentia contemplates resigningthe office. The Southern Pacific train formerly passing here at 3:20 P.M. has been changed to 3:25 P.M.

Monday evening while Baker Kistlerwas standing in his establishment a rock thrown fromthe street crushed throughthe front and inner windowsofhis show window Trustee Lewis of the Public Improvements committee reported the repair of the drain pipe at the City Hall that had been blown down by the recent Santa Ana wind. The leaks in the roof of the power house at the water works had not been repaired.

Further time. The board decided to advertise for the sale of $13,000 of municipal bonds, bids to be opened Dec. 1st at 8 o'clock P.M. In the matter of our old friend the two-inch Nash meter. In June last the City Clerk, acting under instructions of the board, ordered a two-inch Nash meter, to be used at the Sanitarium, the probable price having been put by the electrical engineer at about $35. The Consolidated Pipe Co. of Los Angeles filled the order, having to send East for the same, and a bill was rendered to the amount of $6240 for the meter. The City Clerk on Aug. 10, finding that the price of the meter was beyond all previous conceptions, of what it would be, wrote countermanding the order. Meanwhile, the meter arrived in Anaheim and was stored in the depot warehouse. After a further correspondence between the City Clerk and the Consolidated Pipe Co., the meter was returned to the pipe company in Los Angeles. On Oct. 31 the pipe company wrote saying the meter had arrived in Los Angeles, but that it was of no value to them, that they held the Clerk's written order for the same, and that they could not accept the return. On Nov. 9 the pipe company wrote to the effect that a bill for 25 cents freight and 25 cents draydage would be made against the city for handling the meter. The board discussed the meter at length, Trustee Lewis being of the opinion that the best way out of it would be to have the meter returned to us and pay for it. On the suggestion of the Mayor, the Clerk was instructed to write the pipe company and ascertain the nature of the best proposition they could make in taking the two-inch Nash meter in return for others of an inch capacity, the size now generally in use here. In the matter of the selection of an electrical engineer to superintend the installation of the new electric light plant. Communications were received as follows: From Frank Van Vleck of Los Angeles, offering to prepare all specifications and to act as adviser of the board in opening bids, for $75, and to act as consulting engineer thereafter during the putting in of the plant, at $40 per month. Clayton Lewis of Los Angeles offered to draw up plans and specifications for $50 and to attend one meeting of the board to advise as to the award of bids; attendance at extra meetings to be at the rate of $5 per meeting; to act as supervising engineer thereafter during the placing of the plant, at $40 per month. E.C. Sharpe: going over ground and advising board as to requisites, $50; attending one meeting, in capacity of adviser to board when opening bids, $25; if retained as engineer during construction of plant, $50 per month; job not to exceed four months, or $200. The applications were filed, and the Mayor decided to write Engineer Hunt of Los Angeles, who had been recommended to him, for his terms on the work. The board considered the figures high. The Superintendent of Streets was instructed to make necessary drains at street corners, some of the pipes having been destroyed by the putting in of the electric light poles. The Committee on Public Improvements were authorized to procure prices for board cross walks. Mr. Cole was instructed to repair or remove the high sidewalk in front of the old mands against the city and the auditing of bills and reports. Trustee Lewis of the Public Improvements committee reported the repair of the drain pipe at the City Hall that had been blown down by the recent Santa Ana wind.

The massive cement foundations for the sugar factory at Alamitos have been for the most part completed, and on Monday twenty-four bricklayers were put to work on the brick foundation of the main building. The main building is 260x66 feet, and a wall of cement two feet thick at the top, and coming up from four feet below the surface and extending three feet above, projects around the entire building. This wall of cement, as the factory officials say, is the first cement sidewalk laid at Alamitos. The annex, or boiler house, is 96x170 feet, and the entire floor is one solid piece of cement, projecting well up above the surface. Within the inclosure of the cement wall extending about the main building excavations have been made for many cement piers nine feet four inches square, and these are now being constructed. No building in Southern California possesses more massive foundations, Butterick's Patterns. Ladies desiring Butterick's Patterns, please leave orders at Miss Mosseman's millinery store.

The agreement authorizing the increase stipulates that no ditches shall be constructed by the company in the new territory, and water to the new land will be furnished from the present ditches. On a vote being called upon the proposition to increase, the same was carried, Botsford, Browning, Crowther and Spencer voting aye; Key, no. Petitions are now out for signatures of stockholders authorizing the increase. Attorney Melrose reported that a lease had been procured from the land company for the reservoir on the Tuffree tract, the land company having agreed to the request that they themselves pay the taxes. The rental is $60 per year. The attorney had been served with a notice by Mrs. Tuffree to the effect that the water company would have to rent the reservoir from her. The title to the property is in dispute. The attorney had thereupon written the Secretary of the land company regarding Mrs. Tuffree's communication, and asked that the land company protect the water company in their possession of the reservoir. This Secretary of the land company reported his company would be prepared to do, and a warrant for $60 in favor of the land company was ordered drawn in payment of the first year's rent to the reservoir. The attorney also brought up the matter of the dam in the river put in by Supt. Gardner of the Orange water company and submitted correspondence passing between this company and the S.A. V.I.Co. Engineer Rogers reported that the dam diverted 96 miner's inches from the company's ditches daily during the irrigating season. To the Law Committee.

The Law Committee was increased to four, Mr. Crowther being added as the fourth member. Frantz closed his establishment at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening. Ed Woelker who sleeps next door in Derge's drug store, heard some one in the barber shop at 10 o'clock, but thinking that nothing was wrong, paid no attention to it. Our Buena Park correspondent sends us in the following. Friday night or in the early hours of Saturday morning the smell of smoke awakened the inmates of the Park house. It was discovered that the rear of the house was on fire; the porch was burned and the house badly charred; rags saturated with kerosene were found; the fire was extinguished, and the household returned to their slumbers. Mrs. Moon, whose husband was killed last week, has been removed to the Park house. She has been ill with nervous prostration; she has excellent care and hopes are entertained of immediate recovery. Mrs. Chas. Kennedy was called to Pasadena Wednesday to welcome her brother, Rev. M. Bland and family of Chicago, who will spend a year in California. The ratification jubilee of Saturday was enthusiastic and the speeches were well seasoned with wit and good sense. The bets so eagerly taken failed to be paid when the time came, but the jubilee went on the same. There were three bon fires, and the air resounded with anvil firing and shouting of hooray, etc.; old and young participated. Rev. Mr. De Kay and wife were at the Park Sunday. Regular church services are held at 2:30 A.M.; Sunday school at 1:30 P.M.; Y.P.S.C.E.at 7:30 P.M.every Sunday. Dr. Calder has charge of the Bible class, and is a most efficient teacher. The new firm of A. H. Patterson & Co., consisting of Mr. Patterson and Adolph Pfahler, who are the successors of John Schauman in the wagon and farming implement line, are now ready for business, and announce that they will conduct their business on the lines of small profits and all goods now and up-to-date in every particular. The new firm will carry a complete stock of wagons and buggies, mowers, rakes, beet drills, and a full line of everything usually found in a first-class establishment of the kind. We bespeak for them a share of the public patronage. "Lynch's Paper, a Journal of Greater Los Angeles and Southern California," is the name of a weekly paper to be issued in Los Angeles, the first number of which is announced for Nov. 21, by Col. Joseph D. Lynch, formerly of the Herald. Maj. Ben C. Truman, who recently severed his connection with the Capital, is to be business manager, and will also write for it. The new paper will be independent in its opinions and will be always an active friend of Southern California. Society affairs will receive adequate attention but not to the exclusion of those other interests upon which Southern California's prosperity depends. The Twentieth State Convention of Fruit Growers of California will convene at Sacramento, in the Senate chamber of the State Capitol, under the auspices of the State Board of Horticulture, on Tuesday, December 1, 1896, and will continue in session four days. A cordial invitation is extended to all fruit growers, shippers, packors, nurserymen, and others interested in horticultural and kindred pursuits, to be present and take part in the proceedings of the convention, and it is hoped that every branch of the industry will be well represented. The purpose of these conventions is to enable fruit growers and others interested to come together for a general interchange of ideas and to profit thereby. It is yet too early to announce a programme for the meeting, but suffice it to say that a rare treat, by way of essays and discussions, will await those who attend. At this session, among other matters of great importance to the producers that will be considered, will be the marketing of California fruits in the East, the opening of new markets, the feasibility of establishing stores in all the large cities, etc. There is no "apparent overproduction of fruit, but an apparent underproduction of efforts on the part of producers to distribute their fruits;" therefore, the great and all-absorbing question of distribution will claim the attention of this convention, and all those interested should not fail to attend. The Southern Pacific company will issue excursion tickets to all persons going to the convention and returning, at reduced rates from all points on its lines to Sacramento; provided, a receipt for the ticket purchased be taken at starting point. This will be countersigned by the secretary, and will entitle the holder to a return ticket at one third the regular rate. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE Geo. W.

It is a miniature representation of the White robe. An action against Mrs. T. J. Crocker of the same town in Justice Freeman's court at Santa Ana, to recover damages in the sum of $300, alleged to have been sustained by her by being struck by the latter's horse during a runaway at Orange some weeks ago. The complainant alleges carelessness in the part of the defendant in leaving her horse untied upon the street. Dr. A. C. Moore, Vice President of the Pacific Sanitarium and School of Osteopathy, a graduate of the American School of Osteopathy, Kirksville, Mo., informs us that Dr. B. W. Scheurer, president of the above named institution, has for the past five years employed more and less medicine in his practice, and is now treating from fifteen to twenty patients daily without the use of drugs, and with results unsurpassed. Fred Hartung came down from Los Angeles on Saturday on a short business visit. Fred tramped in the mud in the Reed procession, and at one point on the line a lot of yelling Bryanites asked him whether he was paid the regulation dollar to parade. He happened to have a number of now $10 bills in his pocket, and satting the action to the word, yanked them from his pocket and shaking them at the Bryanites, said "That's what I got for marrow." Fred looks younger and handsomer than ever. M. E. Johnson of Chino has taken the agency for the Pecos valley, Tex., boot lands, and was over on Tuesday enlisting the interest of our local beet raisers in the advantages offered in the Lone Star State. A sugar factory has been erected in the Pecos valley, and will soon begin its first season's run. Mr Johnson brings with him photographs showing splendid beet fields, as well as other scenes in this fertile Texas valley. We hope next week to be able to say more about Mr. Johnson's proposition, which appears to be a good one. Chas. F. Thompson and P. A. Fenimore have been in town during the week for the purpose of repainting the drop curtain at the Opera-house. Mr. Thompson is the artist, and was found on Monday seated upon the scaffolding in front of the certain applying the brush in an artistic and lively manner. The center piece will be a representation of the Golden Gate, showing the fortifications at Fort Point, and about it will be clustered the advertising cards of our local merchants. The new certain is a neat bit of work, and reflects great credit upon the artistic abilities of Mr Thompson. Rev Garvin, the Christian angelist, announced at the Christian church on Tuesday evening that owing to the Republician ratification there would be no services at the church last evening. The reverend gentleman felt that owing to the noise and bustle on the streets he would suspend services for one evening. We do not know whether our friend dismissed his congregation for the purpose of getting out and tooting a horn in the parade himself, or whether it was to permit the members of his flock to get out and join in the general jollification; but he is an estimable gentleman and eloquent speaker all the same; and all those who were in the parade last night should abound and attend the services in the church this evening, leaving their tooting frogs and other instruments of torture at home. Politics are over, and our people should avoid themselves of the opportunity of hearing this eloquent and patriotic minister. Herman Stern has on exhibition in the front window of his establishment one of the most striking displays that we have run across in a long time. It is a miniature representation of the White robe.
