HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK The Heavy Downpour Gladdens the Farmers' Hearts. An Inch and 89-100 for the Storm, and for the Season 3.76 Inches—Regular Fortnightly Session of the Water Board—Interesting Comparison of Figures Based Upon the Election Returns—Officers Give a Chicken Thief a Lively Chase Across Lots, and Track Him a Dozen Miles—Report that a Mountain Lion Devoured a Boy in the Puente Hills—Farewell Party to John Schauman—Local Brevities. The heaviest rainstorm that has visited this valley in years descended on Tuesday afternoon and evening, continuing up to 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The rain began in earnest at 3 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and several smart showers descended until evening, when the precipitation, according to Mr. Dickel's guage, marked .28 inches. A heavy downpour set in at dark, and continued during the entire night at intervals until daylight yesterday, when 1.61 inches had been recorded, a total of 1.89 for the storm, and for the season, 3.76 inches. Yesterday morning the sun broke through the clouds, rising bright and clear, and the storm was seen to be at an end. An invigorating breeze shook the clinging crystals from the trees. All nature seemed to smile, and the heart of the farmer and orchardist was glad. The rain has purified the atmosphere and washed the accumulated dust of the summer time from the trees. The grass is beginning to grow, and soon the earth will be carpeted with a vegetation of emerald loveliness and gemmed with myriads of flowers of every variegated hue, and the landscape will present its yearly aspect of springtime beauty. Winter is the most charming time of the California year. The golden oranges nestling in the dark green foliage are seen at their best after the first winter shower; the roads are dustless, and over all is the invigorating atmosphere that presages the wealth of the coming vegetation. In town the pastoral scenes are different. The streets are muddy and all but impassable. Tuesday morning the thoroughfares were in decent order, and travel about town had an added charm to the pedestrian. Suddenly all this is changed. The rain patters upon the root and window pane, and soon little rivulets form in the streets. An hour's downpour ensues, and then another, and the streets are transformed into muddy thorough- Henry A. Stewart—An undivided a of 14.50 acres of lot 17, block 2, Capistrano; $10.

FIGURES OF POPULATION. DEDUCED FROM THE RETURNS OF THE RECENT ELECTION IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. The following comparison of the total vote of the leading towns of Southern California, outside of Los Angeles, at the elections of 1894 and 1896, will be found to be of interest 1896. 1894. San Diego. 3974 2880 Pasadena. 2011 1628 Riverside. 1513 1481 Santa Barbara. 1468 1176 San Bernardino. 1412 1475 Ponona. 1120 1010 Santa Ana. 947 949 Redlands. 867 715 Ventura. 655 611 Ontario. 607 456 Santa Monica. 575 448 Santa Paula. 493 504 Colton. 430 403 Anahiem. 425 381 Figuring the population on a basis of five to each vote cast, which is generally accepted as a fair ratio in view of the fact that the full registered vote is never polled, we have the following results: 1896. 1894. San Diego. 19,870 14,400 Pasadena. 10,055 8,140 Riverside. 7,565 7,405 Santa Barbara. 7,340 5,880 San Bernardino. 7,060 7,375 Pomona. 5,600 5,050 Santa Ana. 4,735 4,745 Redlands. 4,335 3,575 Ventura. 3,275 3,055 Ontario. 3,035 2,200 Santa Monica. 2,875 2,240 Santa Paula. 2,465 2,520 Colton. 2,150 2,015 Anahiem. $2,125 1,905 San Bernardino, Santa Ana and Santa Paula show a slight falling off in the vote as compared with two years ago; and San Bernardino now ranks below both Riverside and Santa Barbara.

A large number of navels are dropping with a rotten speck at the navel. Squirrel and Gopher Exterminator. Mr.H.A.Dickel has been appointed agent of Wakelee's original patent squirrel and gopher exterminator. The following testimonial regarding the efficacy of the exterminator will be found to be of interest: Messera.Wakelee & Co.,San Francisco, Cal.-Gentlemen: As a result of the squirrel poisoning by your representative, I would say that four men poisoned eleven fields, covering over one thousand acres, in two days, doing the work thoroughly, and using 143 pounds of your exterminator, with an equal quantity of ordinary wheat. Two men and boys in three hours in a 100 acre field picked up about 400 squirrels from the top of the ground. As we poisoned close to the holes, I do not think we could find more than a third of those killed, as the majority go into their holes after eating the poison. I think, taking this test of a few hours work in picking them up, that as a result of the entire work, you have killed at least 7500 squirrels. As it is estimated that each squirrel will eat 100 pounds of grain annually (which I think is a fair estimate) you have made an annual saving of 375 tons of grain worth $7500 for myself and neighbors, at a cost of $36 for poison. The result is wonderful, and your representative's claim that it is possible with "Wakelee's Exterminator" to entirely exterminate the squirrels is established to my satisfaction. Have used your exterminator in a small way for over twenty years, and find it more effective and economical than any other poison. I can either make or buy Strchro. To day is Thanksgiving day. It is legal holiday, and business will be suspended and the day given over to giving thanks for the many blessings that have come to us during the year. B.F.Pritchard has executed to the Orange county savings bank a chattel mortgage covering eight horses, one cow and two wagons, for $1,200; due March 26th next week; 10 per cent. Forty track layers took the afternoon train north from this point on Thursday afternoon, having completed their work with the Alamite railway under Mr.Boschkhey They made quite a carful. Prof.Frantz is in receipt of a barrow Iowa apples which arrived on Monday from his father who lives in that State.

Judge Pierce sent Henry Rheinhartway firing tourist, to the county jail for twenty days for stealing walnuts from J.C.Sheppard orchard at Fullerton.Henry will take his Thanksgiving dinner at the county's expense. The mud on the streets having driven since the rain, pedestrians may now cross Center street at cross streets kitter-correr again.

Constable Folsom of Garden Grove had a lively chase after a chicken thief last Thursday night. The fellow had driven into his yard late at night with a two-horse spring wagon, and was engaged in the act of depopulating the hen roost, when suspecting that something was wrong Mrs. Folsom awakened her husband to investigate the intruder’s mission. Hearing a noise within the house, the man drove rapidly out of the yard and proceeded down the road to Mr. Young’s place and stopped. Constable Folsom followed him a short distance on foot and returned to his stable for his horse and gave chase. The thief had already purloined two handfuls of Young’s chickens and hearing the approach of the Constable on horseback he rushed out of the yard and throwing the chickens into his wagon whipped up his horses and started away. The Constable called to him to halt, but that only seemed to make the thief drive the faster. Along quarter and half-section lines the fellow drove endeavoring to elude his pursuer, but the Constable kept up, but never got near enough to capture the fellow. Once he drove through a plowed field, when the Constable felt certain he would overhaul him, but his team was evidently used to running on plowed ground and went faster than ever. On he drove and finally escaped Folsom’s vigilant eye. He was easily tracked, as the recent rains had lain the dust, and in the moonlight his course was followed to the Santa Fe track on Broadway. Being joined here by Marshal Steadman the officers followed the track up to the Olive bridge and over into the yard of a resident living in the willows in the river bottom. A light spring wagon stood in the yard, on which was a large chicken coop but no chickens. The owner was questioned by the officers, but not having conclusive evidence no arrest was made. Dry stove wood delivered at $6 per cord. C. Otto Rusk. 8 S. Federman and H.

Dan has been the guest of his old-time friend Lleyd Bailey, and one of the features of his trip to the coast was a voyage to San Francisco, during which they made an exploration trip through Chinatown, called on Sharkey, saw Corinne, and took in the sights generally.

Kayander took their departure on Tuesday for the State of Zacatecas, Maxcox, where they will reside permanently.
