SOLD HIS WALNUTS? Mr. Crowther in a Particularly Amiable Frame of Mind. Takes a Leading Part in the Deliberations of the Water Board—Modestly Refuses to be the Object of a Vote of Thanks for Getting Deeds to the Foos Ditch—Quotes Irrigation District History, and Refers the Board to Maps Purchased From the District and In Possession of the Water Company—Urges the Shutting off of Water Furnished the Santa Fe, and Would Sue the Southern Pacific—Offers to Pay for the Water for Sprinkling the County Roads—Feeling Quite Well. The Water Board met in regular session on Saturday; present Fay, Benchley, Browning, Key, Nebelung and Crowther—the latter being in a particularly amiable frame of mind. Secretary Blennerhassett reported the following collections and disbursements in his office during September: Cash on hand, Sept. 1, $22 06 Water sales—Anaheim, 259 96 North Anaheim, 545 22 Rent; P. Nicholas, 150 00 Total $977 44 Paid Treasurer 941 00 Balance on hand $36 44 Treasurer Goldwater reported as follows: Balance cash on hand, last report $19,722 09 Received from Secretary 941 00 Total $20,663 09 By 126 checks cashed 15,958 98 Balance on hand $4,709 11 Supt. Sheppard reported as follows: Expense account—Regular employees, $290; Anaheim branch ditches, $39; North Anaheim ditches, $42; Cajon main ditch, $37 20; total, $408 20. Cost of cement arch—Labor during July, $100; during August, $592 12; during September, $26 40; total, $618 52. (The figures include 84 barrels of cement a) $3 35 per barrel.) Cost of fill and cut—Labor during September, $1,838 36; during August, $1,157; during July, $70 35; total, $3,066 50. Attorney Melrose, reporting for Mr. Crowther, who had not yet come in, offered seven deeds for the Foos ditch, from W. F. Foos, Thos. Devonshire, Philip Krick, A. Montgomery, A. H. Boston A. S. Bradford and Henry room in an eminently satisfied manner, and winked his eye. The chairman brought up the matter of the agreement of the county to pay half of constructing pipe lines across county roads, and asked whether it had been lived up to. The Secretary reported the county had paid $29, the full amount so far charged them. Mr. Crowther arose and asked whether the Santa Fe had paid for the water furnished them in their operations in boring for oil in Soquel canyon. The Secretary replied the railroad company had not paid for the water. A bill had been sent them, but as yet no reply had been received. Mr. Crowther observed with some warmth that the railroad company was no better than he. He had to pay for his water in advance, and he moved that the water the company had been using be shut off. It appeared the railroad company had in April paid for two months' water, at 10 cents per thousand gallons, and the statement forwarded them for the water used since then had not been returned. Mr. Crowther urged his motion to shut off the water, and not to turn it on again until the railroad company had paid for the water used and for three months in advance. Mr. Benchley seconded the motion, but the same was lost—Key, Nebelung and Browning voting no, Mr. Browning stating that the railroad company would undoubtedly pay, and he was opposed to taking snap judgment against them. Mr. Crowther arose and demanded with some perturbation that the votes of all three gentlemen voting against his motion be taken down. The Chair asked whether the Southern Pacific had paid for the damage done to the cement ditch on West Broadway by the ditching of an engine into it, a year ago, causing some damage. The Secretary stated the company had not paid for the damage caused. He had sent a bill to Agent Darling at the time of the accident, but had never heard from him. Mr. Crowther gave it as his opinion, that the proper mode of procedure was that another bill be sent to the railroad, and if immediate payment be not made, to sue them for damages and costs. Mr. Nebelung stated that Agent Darling had some time ago asked him for a bill for the damages, saying he had never received one. His company wanted the bill and wanted to pay for the damages, and adding they did not like to do business in this hap-hazard way. The Secretary was instructed to forward another bill and enclose a letter, Hleinigkeiten. The fire boys had the fire hose out on Sunday afternoon, operating on Center street. On dit that a well-known young business man of Anaheim is shortly to lead to the altar the prettiest girl in Santa Ana. Gangs of walnut pickers have been seen driving through town, going toward the orchard country to gather the crop. With the county election more than a year off, an occasional simmer of the political pot may be heard by the attentive listener. The Long Beach Eye is dead. The valeditory notice, written by editor Lynn, was one of the best pieces of newspaper work we have seen in a long time. Bids will be received in Washington up to December 4 for carrying the mail daily, except Sunday, between Fullerton and Placentia. The present contract price is $102 86 per annum. The price of meat has taken a decided advance, the reason being partly the scarcity of beef cattle, and primarily the cornering of the market by Cudahy. In Los Angeles the price of beef has risen 20 per cent. According to the Chino Champion the sugar and purity percentages of beets now being harvested on the Chino ranch are the lowest ever recorded, last Wednesdays' averages being: sugar, 13.8; purity, 78.3. William Hill informs us he will finish threshing on the La Habra this week. He had in some 1600 acres of barley, wheat and oats, and has made a great speculation, along with the rest of the Hill boys, in grain this year. A number of the girls from West Anaheim who attend the central school in town make the trip on bicycles. The sight of the little ladies riding up town together, decked out in their best bibs and tuckers, is a very pretty one. The first rainfall of the season came on Thursday night last, when .14 of an inch fell, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. The rain laid the dust and imparted to the landscape a freshened appearance, but came unpropitiously during the beet harvest. The thanks of the editorial force are due Mrs. Polhemus for a donation of fruit, consisting of peaches, apples Expense account—Regional employees; $290; Anaheim branch ditches, $39; North Anaheim ditches, $42; Cajon main ditch, $37 20; total, $408 20. Cost of cement arch—Labor during July, $100; during August, $592 12; during September, $26 40; total, $618 52. (The figures include 84 barrels of cement at $3 35 per barrel.) Cost of fill and cut—Labor during September, $1,838 36; during August, $1,157; during July, $70 35; total, $3,066 50. Attorney Melrose, reporting for Mr. Crowther, who had not yet come in, offered seven deeds for the Foos ditch, from W. F. Foos, Thos. Devonshire, Philip Krick, A. Montgomery, A. H Basten, A. S Bradford and Henry Schaller. All were of uniform width (10 feet), and all were correct, with the exception of one, with the description of which he was not familiar. However that had been referred to Engineer Sherwood, who was present, and on his favorable report thereupon, the attorney advised that all the deeds be recorded. Pending Mr. Sherwood’s inspection of the lines in the deed referred to, the board passed to other business, and Mr. Pay submitted various matters as being worthy of attention by the board, as follows: (1) The laying off of the main and subsidiary curbts into sections, each member consecutively, showing the cuts, fills, flumes and gates in each section so that when requires are being made, or cleaning done, members of the board and stockholders can go right to the paint designated; and an account to be kept of the expenses incurred in maintaining each section. Mr. Benchley regarded the matter an important one, one that ought to be attended to, and observed that now or at the proper time he would be glad to introduce a resolution instructing the Superintendent to perform the work. Mr. Benning thought the ditch had already been stationed off, although he had never seen any map thereof. (2) Mr. Fay suggested as the second subject worthy of deliberation by the board, the procuring of a proper place to keep the maps and drawings of the company. The receptacle now in use is not suitable. The maps and drawings should be indexed, so that one could turn to the flumes, cuts and fills at a moment’s notice. The receptacle to be under lock and key, and the maps and drawings not to be removed from the office. (3) A receptacle for the keeping of valuable documents owned by the company. At present that in use seems to be liable to all kinds of dangers—by fire or easy abstraction of the documents from the office. He suggested that the board consider the matter of a fire proof vault, and come prepared to offer something thereupon at the next meeting of the board. (4) The preparation of a record book, showing the rights of way owned by the company, to be prepared by the engineer. The various matters offered by the chairman were discussed at length, each of them being considered favorably. The same were filed, to be taken up for future consideration at subsequent meetings. Engineer Sherwood having reported on the deed to the Foos ditch, finding it to be correct, and the attorney holding that it fulfilled all the requirements of the company, the seven deeds were accepted, and ordered placed on record. Previous to their acceptance Mr. Crowther, having come in, arose and spoke eloquently of the labor necessary in securing the deeds. He had labored assiduously in procuring them, and now that they had all been found to be satisfactory he hoped the board would have sent a bill to Agent Darling at the time of the accident, but had never heard from him. Mr. Crowther gave it as his opinion that the proper mode of procedure was that another bill be sent to the railroad, and if immediate payment be not made, to sue them for damages and costs. Mr. Nebelung stated that Agent Darling had some time ago asked him for a bill for the damages, saying he had never received one. His company wanted the bill and wanted to pay for the damages, and adding they did not like to do business in this hap-hazard way. The Secretary was instructed to forward another bill and enclose a letter, respectfully requesting payment. Mr. Browning asked who was paying for the water used for the sprinkling of the county roads. For a time there was no reply, and Mr. Crowther laughed heartily, and considered the question rather a foolish one. Mr. Benchley arose and stated modestly that he did not know who was paying for the water used from the cistern at the Botsford ranch, but he presumed Mr. Botsford was paying for the water himself. Mr. Crowther arose and observed that if anyone was mean enough to object to the sprinkling of the county roads, he would pay for the water himself. Mr. Benchley called attention to the condition of the culvert at the corner of Northern avenue and Squira road. To the Superintendent. The Chair stated he would make emphatic objection to the continuation of the work of filling in the old canal at the cut and fill at Flume 12, and suggested instead of doing it as the work had been done, the same be submitted to contractors, and let to the lowest bid her. The Chair appointed as a special committee to examine the work on the cut and fill and ascertain whether or not it had been done according to the plans and specifications submitted by Engineer Rogers, the following: Directors Key, Browning and Benchley. The board entered into a discussion about the grading plow purchased by Supt. Sheppard, the chair and Mr. Browning holding that the Superintendent had shown discourtesy to the board in failing to purchase it of the house from whom the lowest bid had been received for it. Moreover, Mr. Browning claimed the plow is not giving satisfaction. Mr. Crowther argued that the plow being the same as that ordered—no matter from whom purchased—noensure could attach to the Superintendent. In fact, it made no difference, he said, whether the plow was bought from John the Baptist or Jesus Christ, so long as it was what the board proposed buying in the first place. The bill for the same was hung up, and the board went into executive session. BUENA PARK The L. M. A. S. met on Tuesday with Mrs. Andrew Whitaker.

Engineer Sherwood having reported on the deed to the Foos ditch, finding it to be correct, and the attorney holding that it fulfilled all the requirements of the company, the seven deeds were accepted, and ordered placed on record. Previous to their acceptance Mr. Crowther, having come in, arose and spoke eloquently of the labor necessary in securing the deeds. He had labored assiduously in procuring them, and now that they had all been found to be satisfactory, he hoped the board would accept them in the same spirit in which they were offered. The board voted to accept them unanimously, and the committee (Mr. Crowther) was discharged. Mr. Benchley arose and moved that a vote of thanks be tendered Mr. Crowther for the good work performed by him in procuring the deeds. Mr. Crowther protested, saying that when he was consulting the interests of the stockholders of the company, he was consulting his own. He was quite averse to being the recipient of a vote of thanks, however, and the matter was dropped. Mr. Benchley moved that the engineer be instructed to lay off the main and branch ditches into sections, in compliance with the suggestions as made by the chair. Mr. Crowther arose and stated that if the Secretary would consult the data on file in the company's office, he would find the ditches had been all laid off into sections already. The company had purchased the maps of the irrigation district, which had had this matter attended to, at a cost, together with the other expenses of the district, of $30,000, and he did not quite understand why it was necessary to go through the work again. On motion of Mr. Key the matter went over, the engineer in the meantime to look up the old irrigation maps, and report at the next meeting. Mr. Browning inquired how it came that the work on the cut and fill at Flume 12 had not been done according to the plans and specifications furnished by Engineer Rogers. The work was costing the company more money than the board had intended at the outset, and he desired to know the reason for the change in the plans. Mr. Crowther entered into a lengthy eulogy of Supt. Sheppard, laying stress upon that gentleman's desire to carry out the wishes of the board in all things affecting the welfare of the company. He moved that a committee be appointed to investigate and report upon the question whether the work had been done according to the specifications o: Engineer Rogers. Carried. Mr. Crowther looked around the BUENA PARK. The L. M. A. S. met on Tuesday with Mrs. Andrew Whitaker. This society is much interested in the building of a parsonage.

Mrs. Mowry, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Hardin of this city will appear as Leonora, the leading part. Mrs. Mowry's singing is pleasurably remembered by many of her old-time friends in Anaheim, and as the reports are to the effect that her voice has improved and that she is regarded as one of the best amateur vocalists in the metropolis, the performance will undoubtedly be a way-up show. —An interesting debate between Rev. Waggoner of the Christian church of this city and Rev. S. Thurston of the Seventh Day Advent church of Santa Ana has been in progress at the Christian church, the debate having terminated on Sunday. The debate continued six evenings, each speaker being allowed forty-five minutes each evening to speak in behalf of his respective side. The attendance at the meetings was good. Many of the Adventists of Santa Ana were present each evening. There were no judges to make a public announcement of the victor, the audience being left to decide for itself. The question debated was, "Resolved that the ten commandments as written in Exodus and Deuteronomy are binding on the Christian of to-day, and are of equal force as when given." The affirmative was taken by Rev. Thurston and the negative by Rev. Waggoner. —Here are two paragraphs, culled from the daily press dispatches, that have been read with considerable interest by our people, the first being from Seattle, under date of Oct. 1: The steam schooner North Fork passed here to-night on her way to Tacoma from St. Michaels. From passengers who left the steamer at Port Townsend, it is learned that the North Fork brought down a number of passengers but no gold. It is also learned that none of the river boats have yet succeeded in reaching Dawson City with supplies. The next is from St. Michaels a day later: It has been snowing here for the last three days, and to-day it is snowing and blowing so hard that it is impossible to bring the Mare Island alongside to unload her freight. Prices at St. Michaels are excessive. Bullets are 10 cents apiece, irrespective of size; flour is $8 per 100; bacon is 35 cents a pound and tobacco, the cheapest quality,$1 per pound. Bottled beer is $60 per barrel, and everything costs in like proportion. The representative of the Anaheim millionaires syndicate is aboard the North Fork, and all is well. Minigkeiten.

A list has been kept of all of them, so 'tis said, and, as the Santa Ana correspondent would say, interesting developments are looked for. Ah me! this world is full of trouble. The Fullerton Walnut Growers' Association, of which Sydmer Ross is president and Chet Holcomb secretary, has issued a circular letter to growers advising them as to the proper mode of handling the crop. Nuts should not be permitted to lie long upon the ground, and as soon as gathered they should be spread out in trays. All black and dirty nuts must be washed and dried before delivering to the association, and the culls should be picked out before delivery. The warehouse will be open to receive nuts on Monday next. Prof. Little lodged a complaint with the officers on Friday charging a Mexican (name unknown) with harceny in abstracting from one of the ante rooms at the central school house a number of boys' hats, a bicycle pump and a dinner pail. The Mexican was seen to enter the room and to leave the grounds with the stolen articles presumably inside his shirt. Constable Bittner apprehended a couple of Mexicans, and brought them before the carpenters working at the school, who saw the Mexicans enter the building the previous day, but they failed to identify the men. They were released and the officers are now on the lookout for the thief. The trial of Wm. Schutt, accused of having resisted Sheriff Joe Nichols in the performance of his duty as an officer, began in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Tuesday.

On the 18th of August the Sheriff sought to serve ejection papers on Schutt who had found a temporary residence on the San Joaquin ranch, near Laguna. Schutt offered violent objections and Nichols overpowered him and put him in jail, where he has since remained. Schutt is said to have been backed by the so-called Settlers' Land League in his battle for his squatter's farm.

Jim Conliff was kept busy on Sunday plastering the hallway whence the old stairs had been removed, and the contractors, Madden & Reynard, and a force of eight carpenters broke the Sabbath day in order to push the work along as speedily as possible. To-morrow the force of shinglers will be put to work on the roof. The contractors are doing good work, and the building is being pushed rapidly to completion. Three weeks’ time have been consumed, and the contractors have yet that number of weeks ahead of them to complete the building within the contract time. While Mrs. C. D. Story, the wife of a blacksmith who until recently was in the employ of Hank Stough, was returning from a drive along Orangethorpe avenue, and when near the Sandwash bridge, on Wednesday evening last about dusk, a passing bicyclist caused her horse to take fright, and the animal became unmanageable and ran away. The horse kicked the dashboard to pieces, and the lady was quite severely injured about the knees. The little daughter of Mrs. Steckert, who was riding with her at the time, seeing that a bad runaway was in prospect, jumped from the vehicle, sustaining some slight bruises, but being otherwise uninjured. When the runaway reached a point in front of Mr. Perry’s residence, just north of the city limits, Mrs. Story was thrown from the vehicle violently upon the ground, sustaining a severe shock, and being otherwise severely kicked and bruised. She was assisted into Mr. Perry’s house and her injuries attended to as best they could, and shortly after Gray Roberts, who happened to be passing in a buggy, brought the injured lady home. On her arrival at Mrs. Steckert cottage on Cypress street, where she resided, It was discovered that a purse containing $100 in block adjoining his present brick structure on Center street.

Mrs Theo Rimpau and her daughter, Miss Mary Rimpau, and Miss Gandolfo of Yuma, who is visiting with them, drove down to Newport on Monday for a day’s outing. Tom Dunn came down from Redlands to spend several days with relatives and friends here, and returned on Tuesday. Tom thinks there’s no place Redlands. Herman Dickel is so enthusiastic over the reports of gold in the Kundu that he may be tempted to join the rush next spring and seek his fortune in that hand of gold and zero weather. Fred Rimpau informs us that intelligence was received here on Monday from Juliet, Mont., that Mrs. Bert Simpson (formerly Miss Clara Baker of this place) had been safely delivered of a son in that town on Sunday. Dr. Thompson was in from Clair on Monday, driving in his three-minute nag, and putting in time pointing out bad grammar in the esteemed contemporary across the road. The Doctor’s pet aversion is the mixing of plural nouns with singular verbs, and “fine writing” puts his teeth on edge. Miss Jones has kindly handed us the following figures for beet shipments during September and the price received therefor: Number of tons shipped from the three shipping points in the county, 4582 and 120 pounds, from 400 3-4 acres.

Sheppard and Mark Davids of Los Angeles, the latter representing Porter Bros. & Co., and the former well-known walnut buyer, were in town Monday looking over the walnut situation, having come down to attend the meeting of the Fullerton walnut growers’ association. The gentlemen have purchased the crops of the Fulterton and Rivera associations, the price being probably the highest ever paid for nuts in this section. Jos Helmsen is in receipt of a large photograph of Charles Ackenhausen and his family of wife and seven grown children of Levenworth, Kan.

In going down to St. Michaels four years ago there came aboard two of Frank Mayo's boys who were to go to school at San Francisco. These boys, aged fourteen and sixteen (I think that was about their ages), were born on the Yukon and had never seen any domestic animals, and when they reached Dutch Harbor the smaller of the boys noticed a number of hogs running on the beach. After gazing in astonishment at them for a time a light seemed to dawn upon him. He had seen the picture of such creatures on a label in his father's store, and excitedly grasping hold of his brother exclaimed, "O Charley, Charley! See, there goes bacon." It was as good as a circus to watch those boys when they got to San Francisco. Jos. Helmsen is in receipt of a large photograph of Charles Ackenhausen and his family of wife and seven grown children of Levenworth, Kan. The head of this large and good-looking family was Joseph's guardian after the death of the latter's father many years ago, and so conscientiously was the estate administered upon that very kindly ties have long subsisted between the two families. Joe believes that old acquaintances should not be forgot. Dr. Eddy has rented the Witte residence and will have his office in a new building to be erected for him by S. Kistler, adjoining the Boston Bakery on the east. The lumber for the same will be on the ground to-day, and a force of carpenters will be put to work and push the house rapidly to completion. Dr. Eddy has looked high and low for a suitable office, and was at last reduced to the necessity of having one built for him by one of our enterprising business men. He expects to be in his office some time next week. George Heffner, formerly of this city, but now of Ensenada, Lower California, was married in that town on the morning of Sept. 19th to Miss Refugia Garcia, one of the most beautiful daughters of Baja California. At 8 o'clock a team of fine black horses with silver mounted harness, drawing a handsome and stylish coach, drew up in front of the Catholic church. The first to alight was the groom who assisted his fair young bride to alight. After them came Joe Gibson, the groom's best man, escorting Miss Helena Heffner, the bridesmaid. As the party entered the church the organist played the wedding march. The place was beautifully decorated with flowers and palms, and some of the most prominent people of the city were present. After the happy couple were pronounced man and wife they received congratulations from all sides, and started on their honeymoon to visit the most prominent places on the peninsula.

John Hart was down from Los Angles on Monday attired in (1.) a new suit of clothes, (2.) new colored shirt, (3.) new pink tie, (4.) new flat-top hat, (5.) new patent leathers, and (6) same old smile. John always looks as if he had just jumped out of a bandbox, but on this occasion, the bandbox seemed to be a superfluity—no bandbox could have held a candle to him—not for a minute! John was too sweet for anything. He is still in the tea, matting and sugar business, and tells us prosperity has struck him with a dull reounding thwack. Call again, John! Harry Dyer is one of the fortunate young barley raisers of the La Habra valley, having sown some 300 acres to that remunerative crop. Harry converted some of it into hay and thresh-ed the balance. He has sold his grain at an advanced figure, and told us the other day as he dropped in to pay his subscription that it was about time the farmers were making something out of their crops. He will go in for barley again this coming season, and thinks prices will be good next year.
