The cost of the construction of the cement arch and fill at flume 12 on the Olinda ranch, according to the figures submitted to the water board by Supt. Sheppard on Saturday, foots up $3,685.02. The cement in the arch cost, laid down at the site of the work, $281.40, the amount being 84 barrels at $3.35. The bid of C. E. Groat (the only one submitted for the work of constructing the cement arch) was $600, and while this bid was rejected, it will serve as a means of arriving at the cost of the excavation for the ditch to take the place of the old canal running over the flume. Thus we see the cost of the latter work was upward of $3000—more than double the amount originally calculated upon. Engineer Rogers estimated the cost of excavation at 11 cents per yard, when Supt. Sheppard reports the actual cost to be as high as 50 cents per yard. How the estimate of 11 cents was arrived at, when it is considered the ground is for the most part as hard as sandstone, and when is understood that to move common sand a similar distance costs as high as 15 cents, is past finding out, but that the work has cost the company more than double the estimated price is beyond denial, and is probably the reason for the wry faces exhibited by the members of the water board. ANAHEIM farmers complain that they have a considerable acreage of beets which were not ordered in by the factory when they were at their prime, with a very good sugar percentage, and are now testing so low that some will not pay to harvest at all. Our Anaheim friends should remember that there are others They have small ground for complaint in comparison.—Chino Champion. That is true; yet there exists no little cause for dissatisfaction here. What is true in small part with us, is true to an infinitely greater extent at Chino. But what is to be the remedy? To refrain from comment upon this deplorable state of affairs, or to speak boldly out, and having referred to these matters, place the blame where it properly belongs? Let the factory people deal fairly by the farmers and pay for the STORY OF A BADGER. How Ernest Bentz Purchased One and How the Varmint Got Away. Ernest Bentz purchased a badger. Frank Walters caught it in a steel trap over at his place in the East End. Ernest syndicated with several other young gentlemen, paying $1 for the varmint, with the purpose in view of having a battle royal between the badger and a dog. "Put the badger in a barrel and set the dog on him to get him out—that's the way to have fun," said one. The badger was confined in a box, having slats over the front elevation, and as Walters drove into town with it on Monday morning the animal was the cynosure of all eyes. Some pronounced him a big fellow, others said they had killed lots bigger ones. The badger received numerous callers during his captivity all day on Monday. Ernest poked him up to see him bite a stick, and the boys inspected the imprints of his teeth in the soft wood and pronounced him fit to fight any dog in town. Monday evening Ernest placed the badger in the smoke-house, box and all, to keep him over night. The last thing he did after closing his shop was to go look at the varmint to see if he was all right. The captive badger was apparently all right, and although Ernest expressed a notion that in order to hold him over night it would be better to place a chain round his neck, the others dissuaded him from it as being quite unnecessary. So the badger was left in his box in the smoke-house to spend the night away from the bosom of his family. Tuesday morning bright and early Ernest went into the smoke-house to see if the badger was all right. The badger was evidently all right, but he was gone! A small aperture between two of the slats, made by the badger's teeth, showed where the varmint had departed from his cage. The crowd that subsequently gathered considered it a small hole for such a large badger to escape from. But it was even so. A good-sized mound of earth over in the corner of the smoke-house showed where the badger had made his escape, going south. The animal had probably eaten his way out of the box along towards daylight, for the hole in the ground in which he was engaged in effecting his escape from his captors was not very deep. A bucket of water dashed into the hole brought Mr. Badger to the surface with a snort. Then he disappeared beneath the water, and he has not since been seen. Ernest procured a shovel, and going to the outside of the smoke-house in the direction in which the badger's hole pointed, dug down and soon encountered the aperture.

AT SEA, about Lat. 50 deg. N., 148 deg. W., Aug. 30th, 1897. My Dear Friends and Backers, lung, Goldwater, Hartung and Dyne. It is a difficult thing for me to letter when there is nothing to about. Our sea voyage is slow monotonous. We expected to be near the Aleutian Islands but this is still some 700 miles from us. We think the Captain is trying to fuel more than he is trying to hurry to our destination, but he says making all the speed he safely can be sure of keeping our tow, the “Island” with us. We have so far few incidents to mar or break them noty of a slow sea voyage. On this discovery that some thieving been going on on board. When I learned that a thief was at work captain ordered a vigorous and thorough search to be made of all baggage, etc., on the boat; and search all through the boat for articles, but the search was unsuccessful and the thief has not been caught. Another incident was a gale struck us Saturday, the 28th, and all night, winding up with a drenrain. The wind came suddenly; we had a high barometer, and our mainsail, which was set, to rill. We were compelled to haul our course and head southwest into storm or we would have lost the Island. We have seen no boat or sail ever our own until to-day. This month we sighted a bark off our port and about ten miles away, probable whaler returning to San Francisco. We hope she sighted us and will not that she saw a steamer with a boat in tow. Then you may learn we are OK.

Ernest procured a shovel,and going to outside of the smoke-house in the direction in which the badger’s hole pointed,dug down and soon encountered the aperture.Musk Heffner and Bob Husman busied themselves in carrying tubs of water and prepiling them into what was soon a veritable yawning cavern.Tub after tub of water was poured into the hole and still the badger came not. The hole was soon filled up and the water stood at a level with the top. “See them bubbles?” The badger is breathing hard.Pour down some more water! You’ve got him,sure!” exclaimed one excited individual,noting the bubbles upon the water,and a movement of the water that suggested the varmint had given up the fight and was coming to the surface. Quite a crowd collected. But the varmint refused to put in an appearance.A pick was procured and the boys started in to follow the course of the badger’s digging.An hour or more was consumed in tearing up the ground about the smoke-house. At last,tired out,the boys had to give up,and Ernest acknowledged he was out a badger. It is surmised the badger has joined the rush to Klondike. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending Oct.4,1897.

The sun came up out of the sea it was one of the most wonderfully beautiful pictures I ever beheld. I will forget it. After I had admired sunrise, Mr. Ducas and Charlie Watchman, and myself were scanned the horizon ahead of us and discribed the dim outline of a mountain and I tell you the sight sent a pleasure through me after a monotonous voyage of nearly 2000 miles, across a lonely and trackless as is the North Pacific. We at awakened the captain—Captain—and together we examined the land and found the peak to be Shisun volcano on the east end of Uni Island, and at 6 a.m. we were 115 miles from it, almost directly south.

Mountains of the Aleutian Islands finally rose before us and presented and beautiful sight. Many seas were sporting in our path, and fowl abounded in millions. Asness came on Shishaldin volcano need forth her shots of liquid fire, the picture was simply beyond detection and filled us with mingled tugs of pleasure and awe.

Los Alamitos has had her share of sensations in the past few weeks, but Tuesday, Sept. 14th, the climax was reached, when according to the statement of George Russel, Hugh McDonald, one of our prominent citizens, attempted to assault Mrs. Russel. The Bee reporter interviewed Mr. McDonald the next day, and found him greatly agitated. He stated that the whole affair was a put-up job, but that he did not see what the object was, as he had never done the plaintiff any harm. He deried the whole story, as told by the plaintiff; and said that if they had him arrested, he would push the case to the very end. Auburn, Maine, after being out for over seven hours, brought in a verdict that Louise M. Dingley Hadley promised to marry Arthur S. Melcher but failed to do so, and must pay $1,789 damages.

Deadly Effect of Their Work in the Capture of Las Lunas. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—General Calixto García's report of the capture of Victor de las Lunas by the Cuban forces under his command has been received by the Cuban Junta. According to the report, on August 28, siege was laid to the town, which surrendered two days later, after all but one of the eighteen forts defending it had been captured. The Cuban forces numbered 200 infantry and 500 cavalry. War material which fell into the hands of the Cubans consisted of 2200 machetes, two Krupp guns, 500 shells, more than 1,000,000 cartridges and a large quantity of medicines and provisions. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Thomas Estrada Palma, chief of the Cuban Junta, has just received a letter from Gen. Gomez, commander-in-chief of the Cuban armies. Weyler's successor in Cuba," writes general," in order to cope with the rebellion at its present stage. will be obliged to demand 200,000 troops and $100,000,000 even then will fail as ignominiously as Weyler has failed. With the Gomez letter was one from Gen. Calixto García who commands the troops in the eastern provinces. It gave some particulars concerning the capture of Las Lunas on August 30 last. The dynamite which was sent us," writes Gen. García," played an important part in the capture of Las Lunas. Its destructive shell spread terror through the Spanish troops. We besieged it for three days, when it finally surrendered. "If we had a few more dynamite guns we should soon end the war. Reports of its destructive work have been spread all through Cuba, and have heartened the Spanish soldiers." Autumn in the Sierras!

We have had favor-winds and have made comparative good time since leaving the contrary of the North Pacific. Behring is remarkable for the shallow waters in the entire eastern half of it. We passed through the Aleutian islands we have at no time had over fathoms of water under our ship, most of the time only about twenty to twenty fathoms, or 120 to 160 feet. If this thick weather keeps us may have some difficulty in feelur way into St. Michaels. Michaels is only 690 or 700 miles from Unalaska or from Minnack pass, and of 740 or 750 miles as shown on tables of distances that have been measured in the papers. It is colder than on the Pacific, as we are from the warm Japan current, instead, get the colder winds from Siberian coast. Olaf and I are hearty and spend most of our time in the cabin of the captain, with us we are on fine terms. We have combined interests with other men—A. C. Cabel of San Francisco and Captain Mitchell Tyson in the same place. They are both firstmen in every respect. Cabel is a rough mining man, and is well-known by some of my San Francisco friends who introduced him to me beaving. Tyson has been remark-successful as a master of steamship. He is not yet thirty years of age and has been master of large seafishing ships for a number of years. Left the steamer Karl Louis, a vessel of nearly 2000 tons, in the Austrian trade, to go to the Klondike, uncle and brother own the boat we saw, the North Fork, and seventeen craft.

Conrad May, of Dubuque, Iowa, who figured in a divorce suit recently in that town, acknowledged in court that he had buried $45,000 on his farm in Wisconsin to save himself from paying alimony to his wife. He refused to say where it was buried, but it was discovered by a farmer hunting squirrels. The farmer was crossing May's land when his dog ran a gopher into its hole. The farmer began to dig for the gopher, and was astonished to come across a number of shot sacks containing gold, silver and paper. It was May's buried treasure. May heard of the find and claimed the money, which was paid over to him by the finder. Beet delivery at Chino has been progressing during the past week at the average rate of 486 tons per day.

FRITZ REISER, sep23rd FAIRBANK'S' NOTES FROM CUBA. HAVANA, Oct. 5.—The friends of Capt.-Gen. Weyler made a grand rally on his behalf to-day, and did all they possibly could in order to prevent his return to Spain. They held a meeting at the Spanish Casino, many of the healthier class of Spaniards being present. Resolutions indorsing Gen. Weyler were adopted with great enthusiasm, and a cable message was sent to the government at Madrid announcing that the representatives of the trading, mercantile and industrial communities, assembled at the meeting, were familiar with the state of the island of Cuba and were consequently satisfied with the course followed by Gen. Weyler looking to an early complete pacification of Cuba, and expressing fear that its recall would delay the pacification. Teaching Children. Noah Webster of dictionary fame would not have been in favor of the kindergarten, so people who sometimes divert to the beginning of the unbridged edition find by his memoirs there. "He felt," the writer says, "that children should learn to acquire knowledge by severe effort; that the prevailing effort to make everything easy is unthilosophical and wrong; that the great effort of early training is to form the mind into a capacity of mounting intellectual difficulties of any and every kind." He wished at an early period of ready memory and limited comprehension to store the mind with many things which would afterward be found of indispensable use, things which are learned with the utmost reductance, or rather in most cases are not learned at all, in the more advanced stages of intellectual progress. He felt there must necessarily be much of drudgery in the formation of a thoroughly educated mind."—New York times. Points For Poachers. The West Indian negro is a born poacher. He catches the quail by the cruel expedient of strewing finely powered cayenne or bird pepper in the litter dust pits where the birds "wash." The burning powder gets into the eyes of the birds, which, confused and helpless, are then easily caught. When he wants a wholesale supply of ash, he explodes a piece of dynamite, which was probably intended for the making of new government roads, over a hole in a mountain stream, and the ash are killed by the concussion. But his favorite resource is the bark of the dogwood tree. This he drops into a river hole, and the mullet, intoxicated at once. Committees will at once canvass for subscribers to the proposition. Oxnard said the river banks would produce about thirty tons of the acre. Sale Under Foreclosure of Mortgage. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA. J.
