THE NEWS OF THE WEEK. First Engineer's Estimates on the Water Works. The Burgomeisters Make Their Initial Payment to the Contractors, who However Fail to Receive as Much as Expected—The Sugar Beet District Leads the County in the Increase of School Children—A splendid Apricot Orchard—We Take a View of Old Baldy—A Rattlesnake in the School Yard at Cypress. The board of City Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Rust, Lewis, Helmsen and Groat; absent, Conrad. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for April: For license $176 50, water $165 75, electric lights $188 30; total, $530 55; less 5 per cent commission for collection ($26 53); deposited with Treasurer, $504 02. Delinquents collected: water, $6 40; total delinquents for May, $19 75. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in the General fund amounting to $176 45, and in bond funds, $21,968 01. Clerk Nebelung's financial report showed $278 95 in the General fund, and total in the Treasury, including the bond funds, $21,244 46. The difference in the General fund arises by an error of the Treasurer in charging an item of $102 50, for a warrant in favor of R. Melrose, for legal services, to that fund, whereas it should have been charged to the bond fund. Recorder Pierce reported the collection of $35 10 in fines for the violation of city ordinances by sundry persons during April. Fees, $12; turned into treasury, $23 10. Trustee Helmsen of the Finance Committee reported that the committee had passed upon and approved all bills, with the exception of that of City Engineer Rogers, amounting to $110 10 (including the pay of his helper). The bill went over, pending an itemized statement. The committee also criticised the bill of Mr. Ramella, (three days' work setting four poles for the electric lights, $4 50.) The bill was allowed, although the committee thought that if Ramella did nothing else than give his attention to the items specified in his bill, he was getting rich too fast. Trustee Lewis of the Public Improvements Committee reported information received from the Marshal's office of the placing of a new water meter at McDermott's residence and the repair imminent peril of breaking down, whereas the fruit should grow upon the inner and larger limbs. Mr. Neff's orchard is a forcible reminder of the necessity for the scientific handling of trees. In three years it has made wonderful growth, and during the past week he has had men employed in thinning the crop. The apricots are as large as nutmegs, and so heavy has been the crop that under each tree perhaps a quart or more of green fruit has been plucked and cast upon the ground. The entire orchard consists of seventy acres, and there are upwards of one hundred varieties of fruit growing upon it. What is true of the apricots is likewise true of the walnuts, peaches, prunes and other fruit trees. There is apparently everywhere an experienced handling of trees, and in three short years a barren waste has been transformed into one of the most beautiful places in the county. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. A Meeting of Citizens Decides to Take Steps to Properly Celebrate the National Holiday. An enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Anaheim and vicinity was held at the Olympic billiard parlor yesterday afternoon to take steps for the proper celebration of the coming Fourth of July. Arthur Lewis was elected Chairman, and Henry Kuchel Secretary. A discussion of the matter in hand was entered into by Messrs. Goldwater, Stern, Cargill, Hatfield and Lewis, and the consensus of opinion appeared to be that grand celebration of the national holiday should be taken up and pushed to a glorious consummation. Mr. Goldwater reported that Mr. Conrad had informed him that the Turners would probably manage the barbecue and refreshment part of the celebration. Mr. Stern was appointed a committee to confer with the Turners and report at the next meeting, The following committee on subscriptions was appointed: H. Stern, J. S. Hatfield, A. H. Cargill, L. Goldwater, F. Conrad, H. A. Dickel and the chair. The program will include patriotic exercises and speeches, a barbecue free to all bicycle races and other sports, a street parade and fireworks in the evening. After a lengthy discussion of the subject, in which each one determined to do what he could to make the celebration a grand success, the meeting adjourned to next Monday evening at the City Hall. THE SCHOOL CENSUS.

The committee reported the purchase of a carload of oil for the power-house, at $1.29 per barrel, f.o.b. Los Angeles, 3 cents per barrel lower than the last order. The Clerk brought up the matter of the extra corporation cocks for the water works, which had not been ordered. Information was given by Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Rogers, to the effect that the contract calls for 70 of these instruments, which is considered a sufficient number. The Mayor called for a report from the Marshal upon the alleged nuisance complained of at the last meeting by Mrs. Metz. The Marshal reported that he had inspected the premises, and found that no nuisance existed. Trustee Lewis reported the completion of the three new wells at the water works. Trustee Rust recommended the placing of two incandescent electric lights in the Postoffice. Objected to by Trustee Helms, who was of opinion that Uncle Sam should maintain the light. After a further discussion the matter went over. Application of Samson Edwards for city water at his new residence on Philadelphia street.

City Attorney Chynoweth directed the attention of the council to the law passed by the late Legislature, requiring boards of Trustees in towns of the sixth class to advertise for bids for all printing and advertising to be contracted for during the year. The Clerk was instructed to carry out the requirements of the new law, and to advertise for bids for the same. Bills to the amount of $464 99 were audited and ordered paid. The Clerk was instructed to ascertain price per foot for from 12 to 20 feet of the lot north of the power-house; and the Committee on Public Improvements were authorized to ascertain the probable expense of an addition to the present power-house, to admit of the placing of the new machinery. Mr. Rogers submitted an engineer’s estimate awarding Gardiner & Howe the following amounts: Sinking and casing wells, $480; extra work, $51 20; strainers, $298 50; total, $829 70; less 25 per cent retained by the city ($207 42); due contractors, $622 28. The board declined to pay the estimate on the strainers until they were placed in the wells, and the amount paid the contractors was reduced to $398 40.

The board declined to pay the estimate on the strainers until they were placed in the wells, and the amount paid the contractors was reduced to $398 40. The board refused to allow an estimate on the two carloads of six-inch water pipe laid along the streets, until the pipe shall be laid in the trenches, this being according to the opinion given by City Attorney Chynoweth. Petition of F. Shanley and other residents asking that two street arcs lights be erected, one at the corner of Broadway and Lemon and the other at Santa Ana and Lemon; and that if only one arc be furnished, that it be placed at the latter corner. The specifications for the new arcs provide that an arc shall be placed at the corner of Broadway and Lemon. Deferred to next meeting. Application of J. S. Hatfield and others for the purchase and control by the city of band instruments, in view of the organization of a city band. The boys offered to play on all public occasions, and to give two free concerts each month. The city to control the instruments, and the band to furnish the music. Owing to the low condition of the General fund, the council was sorry it was not able to take up the boys' offer. A BEAUTIFUL ORCHARD. That Mr. Neff was competent to write upon the subject of "How to Prune the Apricot," at the Farmers' Institute held here recently, the perfect proportions of his ten-acre orchard of three-year-old trees attest. When asked the other day how it came that every one of his trees was so much like the other, he said he cut them all to a pattern. The first two years Mr. Neff pruned for wood, in order to permit the tree to acquire a stout trunk, and subsequently an evenly balanced and graceful top. The present year he pruned for fruit, and as a result an abundant apricot crop set itself about the inner branches of the tree—where the fruit should grow. Too many trees are permitted to grow up by the unscientific orchard everywhere, with crops maturing upon the outer limbs, necessitating props, and placing the branches in For Sale. Sixty (60) large Apricot trees at Anaheim. Good for first class stove wood. Inquire of I. N. Everett or G. W. Pickett, East Center street. Warning. The undersigned gives notice that hunting on his ranch north of Fullerton is prohibited. All hunters trespassing on this ranch will be prosecuted. D. BASTANCHURY. Anahelm, May 12, 1897.

Come one, come all, the "blues" will fly; though laughter may make some to cry. The team attached to Bentz Bros.' butcher wagon became frightened at the running out of the street car from Lewis' stable, adjoining the meat market, early on Monday morning, and wheeling about on the street made straight for the Santa Fe depot, going at breakneck speed. Turning into the road leading to the packing-house they broke away from the vehicle, which was badly wrecked, the rear axle breaking and the front one being badly bent. The horses continued in a roundabout course, and were finally rounded up at West Anaheim. Yesterday morning while Ernest Bentz was driving the vehicle, which had in the meantime been repaired, the king-bolt came out when near the school house, and the rear of the wagon fell to the ground. The horses continued on with the two front wheels, as fast as they could go. Ernest held on to the lines as long as he could, but was forced to let go when the horses had another runaway. After an hour's chase after them they were caught at Miraflores, and the wagon having been uninjured in the mishap, the steeds were again hitched up, and Ernest went on pedding meat as if nothing had happened. Some discussion has occurred of late about rumors current relative to a possible removal to Los Angeles of the Sanitarium on Olive street. A meeting of citizens was held at the City Hall last night to consider the matter of the possible removal of the institution, and to take such steps as are practicable to induce the proprietors to remain. On Saturday thirty mortgages on sugar beets growing at Alamitos, in sums ranging from $20 to $330 50, and amounting in the aggregate to about $2500, were recorded with the County Recorder. Two youths from Garden Grove were arrested by the city police on Monday evening charged with riding bicycles upon the sidewalks. It being their first offense, their tearful demeanor and contrite hearts melted the officers to pity and they were allowed to go promising to be good little boys and to keep off the walks in future. County Surveyor Kellogg has completed a survey of the picnic grounds in Santiago canyon recently donated to the county by James Irvine. The grounds comprise 160 acres, and include the most picturesque picnic grounds in Southern California. The Supervisors may appoint a keeper for the grounds, at a nominal salary, later on. While irrigating at his place on the corner of Center and West streets on Thursday morning, Frank Gates captured a white gopher, which had been flooded out of its burrow by the water—not however before cutting off one of its hind legs with his shovel. White gophers are a great rarity, and Frank considers he has got a good starter for a first-class menagerie. An interesting musicale was given by Prof. Reiser and some of his pupils at the residence of Mr. W. J. Smith, on Orangethorpe avenue, on Wednesday last evening. The evening was devoted to the study of the life and works of Robert Schumann. The program included a paper on the "Life and Works of Schumann" by Miss Ruth Smith; a piano duet by Misses May and Irene Cargill, and piano solos by Miss Grace Smith, Miss Ethel Spencer, Miss Irene Cargill, Mr. Reiser, Miss May Cargill, Miss Eva Lyons, Miss Ruth Smith, and Miss Mabel Schulte. A feature of the evening was the soprano solo "He most Knightly," by Mrs. F. Hiltscher. Prof. Reiser favored the audience with a bass solo, "I do not Grieve."

Dickel and Hartung will soon be ready to be transplanted, although results will be looked for from only a limited area on account of the lateness of the season. The young plants grow perfectly rank in their beds, and seem to have successfully withstood the attacks of a tiny fly pest which has destroyed the young plants set out by other parties here, and by Mr. Bayha of Yorba. These pests were found upon the plants under notice, and when placed under a microscope showed to a considerable size, their bodies assuming a greenish hue, attesting the quantities of green leaves they had fed upon. An application of common insect powder, sprayed upon them by means of the common nozzle apparatus, seems to have rid the plants of them, and they are now doing well. What the fly pest will amount to later in the season, or whether it will again reappear, remain to be seen. The case of Tisnerat vs. E. F. Dyer et al., proprietors of the Alamitos sugar factory, for damages on account of the discharge of employees who patronized his sale, came on for trial before Judge Van Dyke in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, and was filed on briefs the decision to be rendered later. The defendants demurred to the complaint on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. It was contended that whether the defendants in restraining their people from going to plaintiff's premises had acted with malice or not cut little figure, for they had committed no unlawful act. An employer could discharge an employee for any reason or no reason at all; and an employee has also the right to quit work without being required to give a reason for it. In support of this point a case was cited where, in Tennesseesee, a man kept a grocery store. The manager of the Chattanooga Railroad company forbade any employee trading with the groceryman under penalty of dismissal. The matter was carried into court and the railroad company was sustained. Judge Van Dyke's decision will be looked forward to with interest. Old Baldy stands a noble spectacle viewed from the open country on any warm day of this early summer time. While the roads are dusty and the weather warm, the silvery crest of this highest peak in the coast range is a cooling inspiration to the traveler. The snows of the winter time have disappeared from the other peaks, and Baldy has lost much of its hoary mantle of a month ago. Only a reminder remains, shining in its silvery whiteness at the apex of the hill. The summer days fill one with a longing for an outing in the canyons, bubbling with crystal water under the shade of this monarch of the mountains. Old Prof. Reisler favored the audience with a bass solo, "I do not Grieve." Capt. Blennerhassett went over to Catalina on Saturday for his initial summer outing to that delightful resort. The Captain has purchased a line of pleasure boats, 22 in number, and will accommodate all visitors to the island by renting them out during the coming season. "Prof." Green was found guilty in the Superior Court at Santa Ana last week of rape upon the person of twelve-year-old Ruby Fitch, and was yesterday sentenced by Judge Ballard to ten years in San Quentin. Deputy Sheriff Ulm left yesterday afternoon with his prisoner for the north. Mrs. Green was granted a divorce. Chas. L. Rogers continues ill at his home on East Center street, with an attack of nervous prostration. During his absence from work as city engineer at this busy season, now that work upon the new water works is about to begin, his place is being acceptably filled by his younger brother Jack, a new arrival in our city. Mrs. Wm. Koenig returned on Saturday from Los Angeles, where she has been for some weeks past, undergoing medical treatment for a sprained ankle, sustained in learning to ride a bicycle. The accident at one time threatened serious results, but Mrs. Koenig's friends will be happy to learn that she is recovering and will soon no doubt be all right again. Mrs. L. E. Ledger and young son visited with relatives and friends in town some days last week, the guests of Mrs. Lloyd Bailey. She returned to her home in Los Angeles in company of Mrs. Bailey on Monday, driving upland. On Tuesday the latter lady returned, bringing with her Mrs. Arthur Lewis, who had made the trip to the Angelic city by rail the day before. Mr. and Mrs. Derge leave on Monday next for a month's visit with Mr. Derge's parents in Wisconsin. They will visit in Chicago and other places of interest and will be absent a month or six weeks. E. S. Castle, an experienced druggist, from Los Angeles, will have charge of the pharmacy during Mr. Derge's absence. William Crowther returned on Monday evening from attendance upon the session of the grand lodge of the Legion of Honor, which convened in San Francisco. His contemplated trip to British Columbia was abandoned, in the solemn conviction that when he reached San Francisco he was quite far enough away from Anaheim as it was, without going further. He reports a way-up time, had a lemonade with Harry Grey, saw the Sutro baths, and pronounces them one of the seven wonders of the world. Mrs. Hartung entertained a select number of her friends in a charming style at hearts last Tuesday afternoon at her home on Broadway in honor of Miss Delmas of San Jose. The parlors were decorated with a profusion of sweet peas and carnations, making a very pretty effect. At the conclusion of the game refreshments were served. The prizes were awarded following: The first prize, a very handsome bonier box, fell to Miss Jessie Melrose. The second, a Japanese handkerchief box, to Miss Zelma Bailey, and the consolation, a dainty pin tray, to Miss Winifred Melrose.

A lady was walking on the sidewalk in a church a few evenings required to get out of bicycle rider who scorched her walk, and who rang his key as a warning for the door to get out of his way. On one recent evening, a pedestrian, and in the former was thrown from the picket himself up and hit it out then and there. A boy a bicycle rider rode the sidewalk in the very morning.

It is doubtful if we ever had a more favorable season in Southern California. The season had been absolutely ideal up to the last of March, when we suffered quite a nip of frost, but the buds of the deciduous trees and the vines were not out far enough to be affected. The buds which were out here and there were nipped, but an inspection of the orchards shows that the visit of Jack Frost served only to thin out the crop; and the trees are yet so heavily laden that gangs of men have been in the orchards picking off the surplus apricots and peaches and other fruits so that the trees may not be overburdened with the enormous crops that are reported on every side. While another inch of rain would help out the beets on light soils, yet the greater area of the beet fields are now one smiling sea of verdure, the plants having attained a perfect stand, and giving every indication of returning an abundant crop. The vines are coming out again in all their old-time luxuriance, and from one end of the country to the other the bursting bud and bloom and young fruit setting in clusters upon the trees give unerring indication of the extent of the harvest. The hay and grain crops are also prodigious, and in valley and upland the click of the mower is heard in the land. Headers are being hauled out and repaired for the heavy season's work before them, and within the week the harvest will be actively begun. There was never such another season, and the farming implement men are in clover.

Mrs. Foster, mother of Miss May Foster, who formerly taught in the West Anaheim school and now teaches at Fullerton, died at her home in Downey on Friday morning at 2 o'clock. Death resulted from erysipelas, which was the direct outgrowth of an ulcerated tooth. Mrs. Foster underwent an operation on the face on Tuesday of last week, and she regained consciousness for only a short time thereafter. After lingering until Friday morning at 2, surrounded by the members of her family, she crossed the river where the two worlds meet. The funeral occurred at 10 on Saturday, at the family residence at Downey, Rev. J. F. Washburn of the Holiness church, assisted by Rev. J. R. Kirkpatrick of the Presbyterian, conducting the services. The deceased was a woman of sweet disposition and kindly habit, and in her death she have suffered an irreparable loss.
