HUMOR IN RIGHTS OF WAY Three Deeds, and How They Differed from Each Other. One Gave Ten Feet for an Irrigating Ditch, the Other Eight, and the Third Six Feet—The Interesting Discovery Made by the Water Board on Saturday—Organization of a Farmers' Club—Its Constitution and By-Laws—Mr. Thiele Receives an Illustrated Postal Card from Capri—A Hero of Chapultepec—Herr Schwenckert Once Caught a Glimpse of the Old Emperor William—George Hagar and His Frost Story—How Hardscrabble Ranch Got Its Name—Personal Mention—Local Brevities. The Directors of the water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Messrs. Fay, Benchley, Nebelung, Amerige and Browning. Mr. Amerige reported, in the matter of the ditch between the properties of Stone and Zeyn at Fullerton, that an examination of the records showed the deed in fee simple therefor to be vested in Mr. Miles, who is now in Honolulu, but who is expected back within the fortnight. He apprehended no difficulty in getting a deed to right of way for the ditch, and the committee was continued. Supt. Sheppard reported an offer from one M. Borrel for the lease of land near the section house, on the upper ditch, at a yearly rental of $60, $20 of which had been paid on deposit. The price, he stated, was extra good, the amount which the company had been receiving having ranged from $35 to $50. The feed on the land was unusually abundant and of fine quality, which accounts for the raise. The board decided to lease the land to Mr. Borrel, and the executive officers were delegated power to make the lease. Mr. Benchley submitted deeds for right of way for the new ditch being constructed by him through properties of Hetebrink, Roerden, Sheppard, himself and others, to take the place of a section of the North Branch ditch. Deeds accepted, and the construction of the cement supply and waste gate across the sandwash, and the connection of the new ditch with the North Branch ditch; referred to Ditch Committee with power to act.

The United States government has issued a patent to forty acres of land in Brea canyon to Burdette Chandler. Mary L. Cogswell has brought suit against H.A.Pierce (our old friend the General) to foreclose a mortgage on his sugar beet property at Garden Grove. The swallows have arrived on their annual homeward flight. When the swallows come, it used to be said the rains were over. The Chamber of Commerce held no meeting on Monday evening,the same being postponed until next Monday evening,at the City Hall. Easter services were held in all the churches on Sunday.The edifices were beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens,and the services were impressive and largely attended. Marshal Steadman put a force of ten men at work cleaning the streets of weeds on Monday morning,and the thoroughfares show a greatly improved appearance. Desultory puffs of east wind yesterday and on Tuesday evening indicated the prevalence of a gale at Riverside.How those Riverside chaps must suffer from their Santa Ana wind storms. The Santa Ana fair Directors are discussing the advisability of having a race meet at the track this Fall.Since Gov.Budd vetowed the so-called fair appropriations,the outlook for races is more or less problematical. The Bixby land company telegraphed to Los Angeles for twenty-five men to thin beets,and fifty responded.all being put to work.Been thinning is now on in full blast,and hundreds of hands are engaged in thinning out the plants.

Deeds accepted, and the construction of the cement supply and waste gate across the sandwash, and the connection of the new ditch with the North Branch ditch; referred to Ditch Committee with power to act. Attorney Melrose having pointed out that in the matter of the Foos ditch at Placentia, which the board had voted to accept at a former meeting, the deed of Mr. Foos had not been turned in with the others, the chair called the matter up for reconsideration, and the same was reconsidered and referred back to the committee having it in charge (Mr. Crowther) for correction. An inspection of the three deeds submitted showed that Mr. Devonshire, living at the head of the ditch, had given 10 feet. Mr. Schaller, next to him, had given 8 feet, and Mr. Krick 6 feet. The Superintendent reported that he had already cleaned the ditch. Back to committee for correction. The attorney reported that he was in receipt of a letter from Col. Bailey of the Olinda asking that in view of the execution by him of a trust deed to the San Francisco Savings Union, the matter of the location of the land for right of way for the fill at Flume 12 be settled speedily. Engineer Rogers was instructed to furnish description of the same, to be forwarded at once to the Colonel. Mr. Browning reported he had written Col. Northam in reference to right of way for fill on Stearns ranchos, but had not heard from him. Continued. Doc. Paschall asked permission to examine stub books of water sales during 1894 and 1895.

The Bixby land company telegraphed to Los Angeles for twenty-five men to thin beets, and fifty responded, all being put to work. Beet thinning is now on in full blast, and hundreds of hands are engaged in thinning out the plants. The oranges are well off the trees, and the new crop of blossoms take the place of the golden globes. The trees are laden with blossoms, and the perfume of the flowers fills the air with sweetness on all sides. Several have suggested the propriety of holding a Fourth of July celebration. Anaheim has had some way-up celebrations in the past, and there is nothing to prevent another big blow-out this year. What's the matter with having a Fourth of July celebration? The Turners advertise their first picnic of the season, at Curtis grove, on Sunday, May 2d. There will be the usual athletic exercises, in which our Turners excel. Dancing during the afternoon and a social hop at Kroeger's hall at night. The program appears on the second page. -Oscar Luedke has an advertisement in this issue which will interest those in need of the services of an expert optician. Oscar carries a large stock of lenses, and is especially fitted to give satisfaction to all who wish their eyes tested, and desiring to be perfectly fitted in spectacles. -Residents on Los Angeles street between Center and Broadway complain of the lack of sidewalk facilities. The City Trustees had this matter in hand a year or so ago, and it was promised that sidewalk would be put down, but the matter has lapsed, and now nothing is heard of it. Let us have the sidewalks. >The Postoffice will be enlarged by the addition of fifty letter boxes on one side and forty paper boxes on the other. The office is greatly crowded, and the enlargement which Postmaster Gardiner has prevailed upon Landlord Federman to make will be appreciated by the working force of mall clerks. H.A. McWilliams has the job of putting in the boxes. -A stranger riding up Center street on Tuesday afternoon, remarking the clean thoroughfares just passed over by the street-cleaning brigade, observed "Anaheim has the cleanest streets of any town in Southern California." Do you have them clean like this and free from weeds all the time?" We said "Certainly," and never said a word. -Man Wo was presented by his better half some days ago with another son and heir, making four children Mr. Wo now has under his roof, two boys and two girls—two pair, as he informs us.

The enterprising residents of Fullerton are considering the advisability of building a public park，adjoining the Santa Fe depot on the north，on lines mapped out by General Manager Nevins of that line That gentleman has generously offered to fence the park and to furnish the water necessary to irrigate the same，free of charge，providing the residents of the town put out trees and shrubbery,and have them properly cared for. The latest reports concerning the Baron，who for some days past has been with the Baroness and his party at Montreal，are that the Canadian police have placed the whole outfit under surveillance.The uncle and brother of the Baroness have arrived in Montreal from Boston,and have had an interview with the duped woman. She was undeceived as to the Baron's pretensions，but just at this moment the Baron appeared upon the scene,and at last reports was about to succeed in making the Boston men believe he was a Baron after all What the outcome of this strange case of abduction will be，它 is difficult to say，但the officers hope to land Von Arnold back in San Francisco。它 is to be hoped this arrant swindler will be brought back and made to suffer for his crimes. F.M.Dickey's force of well diggers have been at work on the three wells at the city water works during the week,and yesterday morning at 10 o'clock completed the first at a depth of 98 feet below the surface.At this depth the borers ran against a rock,and the depth of the well being sufficient depth,and being in a good gravel stratum,它 was decided to stop at that depth.Water was struck at 22 feet,and the bottom of the well is in a stratum of 8 feet of coarse water bearing gravel.Eight foot strainers will be put in.Yesterday afternoon the workmen began operations on the two other wells，which are down 31 and 21 feet respectively,and will probably finish the job by the end of the week,Two gangs of three men each are en- Battlefield is taking the school Los Angeles Fiesta is on in this week.

Steadman put a force of work cleaning the streets of Monday morning, and the trees show a greatly improved puffs of east wind yesterday. Tuesday evening indicated once of a gale at Riverside. Riverside chaps must suffer Santa Ana wind storms. Ana fair directors are the advisability of having a track this Fall. Since veered the so-called fair applause, the outlook for races is problematical. By land company telegraphing angles for twenty-five men, and fifty responded, all to work. Beet thinning is full blast, and hundreds of engaged in thinning out the angles are well off the trees, crop of blossoms take the golden globes. The trees with blossoms, and the perflowers fills the air with all sides. have suggested the progaged on the well, working night and day. The first well was finished in a day and a half and two nights. The pupils of the city schools are wondering whether they are to have a vacation to-day or to-morrow, as the School Trustees are debating the subject. The scholars at the West End have had a vacation during the week, and the city youth think they would like to have a day or two off to see the Fiesta, or thin beets. Prof. Hayne's paper on Olive Culture, read at the recent Farmers' Institute, is published upon the fourth page this morning, and will be found an interesting contribution to the literature of the times. Mr. Hewitt's paper on Citrus Culture, about which some discussion arose after the Institute, will appear next week, winding up the series. The Santa Fe company have struck oil at a depth of 500 feet in their borings at the mouth of Brea canyon, their first well producing fifty barrels of oil per day. The officials of the road visited the well one day last week, and are said to have been favorably impressed with the outlook. There is no question that the Brea canyon overtops the finest oil deposit in the country, and the Santa Fe people have cause to congratulate themselves upon the good results attending their enterprise. Tim Carroll's purported offer of $30,000 for his dumping device seems to have had a stimulating effect on the inventive genius of the Alamitos community, according to a veracious chronicler from that burg, and the crop of new inventions in that line seems to be second only to the crop of beets. Mean-time Tim chuckles as he carries his little wagon and box of spuds around under his arm and thinks how he has got ahead of them all with his patent. Tim tells us that $50,000 would not touch his patent. The case of Litten vs. Jim McFadden, for the recovery of damages on account of an alleged breach of a corn-shelling contract, which was tried in the Justice's court here some months ago and appealed to the Superior Court, was tried in that court at Santa Ana on Monday and resulted in a verdict giving the plaintiff $30. The decision in the lower court was in favor of the plaintiff, who set up the claim that he had suffered injury by McFadden's breach of contract. Both parties hail from Santa Ana.

Francisco Velasco and Miss Amelia Davila were married at the Catholic church at Yorba yesterday morning by Rev. Father Bannon of this city. The happy couple will reside at Tucson. Bicyclist McCullom informs us he will take in the Fiesta in the Angelicburg to-morrow. He will go up to participate with the Angelenos in their carnival of unwisdom, folly and fanfare, and will paint a streak of red from the Van Nuys hotel clear over into Boyle Heights. Senator Jones was in town on Monday. He has resumed his position as local agricultural expert for the Chino factory. and informs us the beet crop is coming on well. Not more than 200 acres have had to be reseeded, on account of the winds, while last year to date the area reseeded was nearer 2,000 acres. J. H. Smith came up from San Diego on Tuesday to see how his peach and sugar-beet crop was getting along. Mr. Smith attended the meeting of River-side pioneers in the orange town the day before, having been one of the early residents of that place, and reports a way-up time. Ben Snodgrass steps in to say that he is again a happy grandpa, his daughter, Mrs. Chas. W. Clark of Hemet, having presented her husband with a new baby boy on the 10th inst.

Andrew Gillison was in from the Alamitos beet fields a few days ago, and ports the beets have an ideal stand for promise an abundant crop. The re-is being graded from Dunham's west county line, he informs us, and we soon be in first-class condition. The town of Alamitos is enjoying quite boom, and work upon the factory is ing pushed on as rapidly as the law force of mechanics employed can do. Frank Champlin returned here Monday from Honolulu, having taken a trip over to the islands from San Francisco some weeks ago. He forms us that country is no place for poor man, as the natives labor for few cents a day. He went over one sailing vessel and made the trip seventeen days. He remained on the island five days and returned by steamer in five days. He is glad to get back and advises his friends to steer clear Honolulu. Editor Bourland of the Independence appeared with quite a perceptible lime-a few mornings ago, which upon its investigation was found to have been sustained in quite a curious way. In putting on his shoe on arising that morning, he discovered that in some unusual countable manner a hair pin had been dropped in the shoe, which thrust itself into the great toe, over the nai making a painful wound. Editor Bourland will be careful to shake his shoes out before putting them on hereafter. C. H., Conner of Louisville, Ky., was in town on Saturday, in company of T.W. Phelps, the Los Angeles capital The case of Litten vs. Jim McFadden, for the recovery of damages on account of an alleged breach of a corn-shelling contract, which was tried in the Justice's court here some months ago and appealed to the Superior Court, was tried in that court at Santa Ana on Monday and resulted in a verdict giving the plaintiff $30. The decision in the lower court was in favor of the plaintiff, who set up the claim that he had suffered injury by McFadden's breach of contract. Both parties hail from Santa Ana. It is reported that the owner of the Sanitarium property, Mr. Duque of Los Angeles, now that the institution's lease of a year free of rental is about to expire, has requested the management that they make him a proposition for the purchase of the premises at a valuation of $7,000; or at a monthly rent of $100. Mr. Duffy, one of the proprietors, is now in the East, but is expected back shortly, when arrangements will no doubt be made in conformity with the owner's wishes. The building cost about $40,000 originally. During the services at St. Michael's Church on Good Friday, Rev. Deering was overcome with illness and was compelled to retire to the vestry. Mr. R. ten Bosch, a young English gentleman stopping with Mr. Holman, completed the reading of the services. Rev. Deering was removed to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Garrison at Placeia, where he has since been in a precarious condition. The reverend gentleman is not in good health, and has lately been quite unwell. On Easter Sunday Rev. Dyer of Pasadena conducted services in the absence of the pastor. The lawn recital given at the residence of Mrs. Langenberger on Tuesday afternoon by G. Abram Smith and James Rice was quite largely attended, and a highly enjoyable program was listened to by all. Mr. Smith sang twice, and Mr. Rice favored the audience with several solos upon the violin, Miss Blossom Smith playing the accompaniment in each case. Miss Mabel Langenberger also played two selections upon the piano. Seats were provided upon the lawn, the music and singing taking place in the music-room within, with the windows up. The effect was very pleasing. Mr. Smith never sang better, the applause being unstinted, and Mr. Rice's violin playing was also of the same high order of merit, and was enthusiastically applauded, both gentlemen having to respond to encores. It is announced that they will open classes in music here. The social festivities of the post-Lenten season were ushered in on Tuesday evening by the calico ball given at the Opera-house by the local council of the Fraternal Aid Association, which was a largely attended and very enjoyable affair. Upward of a hundred devotees of Terpsichore participated, and when the voluptuous swell of music arose, announcing the grand march to be in order, the hall was rung with dancers, it being observed that the ladies had, in most part, ignored the calico feature of the function, many of them appearing in lovely evening toiletttes. The men were in evening costume, our young friend Dickel being the only exception, he being arrayed in a gorgeous suit of resplendent linen. The grand march was led by Fred Lewis and his sister, Mrs. Deering, early residents of that place, and reports a way-up time. Ben Snodgrass steps in to say that he is again a happy grandpa, his daughter, Mrs. Chas. W. Clark of Hemet, having presented her husband with a new baby boy on the 10th inst. Ben is happier than ever over the arrival of his new grandson, and says the youngster is the picture of its pa. Mr. Shanley received yesterday a copy of the May number of Mrs. Leslie's magazine, which contains a photographic view of the University of Minnesota football team, of which Cooper Fulton who recently visited here is captain. The young man towers in height above his score or more of associates and is captain of a mighty good-looking crowd of young chaps. Allan Cartmell and Louis Allen, two Tustin lads about 17 years of age, have disappeared from their homes. The boys have been missing for several days but their parents, believing that a brief experience with the world's hardships would subdue the adventurous inclination of their sons, have not worried over their unceremonious departure. However since the prodigals have failed to return, they have made efforts to trace their movements, but so far without avail. Mr. Chynoweth has our thanks for a copy of the new county government bill as it finally passed the Legislature. Mr. Chynoweth exhibits a stack of letters received by him while at Sacramento from citizens of this county, urging action for and against the proposed cutting down of county officials' salaries and informs us we threatened, by those opposing the reduction, with pretty near everything except hanging. He was steadfast to his convictions, however, and voted for the reduction, and a saving of probably $5,000 per annum will be effected thereby. The new bill takes effect on the expiration of the present term of the county officers. Prof. Weeks of Orange, President of the County Board of Education, paid a visit to the city schools on Tuesday, to see what was being done in the art of teaching English, mathematics and science. He stated to Prof. Keran after a thorough inspection of the work that the Orange school, of which he is Principal, was not doing so well in these branches as our public school; nor, he added, was any other school in the county, so far as he knew. After a visit to Miss Tarr's overcrowded room, Prof. Weeks stated there was not another teacher in the county capable of performing the work of this experienced educator in such a satisfactory manner. Prof. Keran and his able corps of teachers have cause for congratulation upon the favorable report of their work by the President of the county board. Mr. Hays of Brookshurst, uncle of A.H. Cargill, was in town on Monday to attend the meeting of the Farmers' Club. Mr Hays was a valiant warrior at Chapultepec, the storming of which forms one of the most glorious events in American history. From Chapultepec the American army under Gen Winfield Scott marched into the City of Mexico, which was taken without a struggle, the Mexican Gen. Santa Ana retreating as the victorious Yankees, under the Stars and Stripes floating triumphant still, marched into the town. Mr Hays was appointed military governor of the City of Mexico after the defeat of the Mexicans, and did much to early residents of that place, and reports a way-up time.

Santa Ana retreating as the victorious Yankees, under the Stars and Stripes, floating triumphant still, marched into the town. Mr. Hays was appointed military governor of the City of Mexico after the defeat of the Mexicans, and did much to inaugurate the era of better feeling now existing between the two countries. He is getting well along in years, but is still vigorous mentally and physically, and seated upon the piazza at the palatial home at Brookshurst, indulging himself in the solace of his pipe, he is the picture of contentment, in the evening of his life, a model of manhood for Young America to look upon with a spirit of pride and emulation. Long life to this grizzled old warrior! Our young friend William Schwenckert spent two years in Germany on a visit to his relatives during 1886 and the two following years, and underwent the notable experience of living under three ruling monarchs during that time. When he arrived in Berlin the old Emperor William was still the ruling monarch, and one day Mr. Schwenckert went to see the change in the royal guard, a military event of pomp and circumstance which occurs at the imperial palace at 10 o'clock every day. On this occasion he had the pleasure of witnessing the aged monarch come to the window of the palace and salute the troops and bow his acknowledgements to the cheers of the assemblage before the palace. Within a short time thereafter a second emperor had ascended the throne in the person of Kaiser Fredrick, who in turn was succeeded by his son. The present ruler. Mr. Schwenckert is engaged in raising strawberries between the trees on his place on West street, and has placed us under obligations to him for a couple of boxes of these delicacies that were most tempting and delicious. If the old Emperor William had known that our fellow-townsman could raise such fine strawberries, that day he saw him at the palace window, no doubt the emperor would have called him into the palace and entertained him in royal fashion. Mr. Schwenckert comes from Pomerana, and the taste of his strawberries have passed into a delightful memory. Fame doesn't last long now-a-days. That's where the Red Front's clothing gets clinch.
