WEEK'S LOCAL EVENTS. Bids for Cement Work That Evoke a Low Whistle. Water Board Receives Two Bids for Cementing the Ditch at the Point of Intake at the River, and Hang Them up Temporarily—The Discovery that Harry Reisbeck Made at the Landing, and How He May be Enabled to Forsake the Sea, Get Married and Start a Chicken Ranch—Two Boys Indulge in Hilarious Shooting at the Cypress School House, and Will be Arrested—Fred Mickle Sends Some Oranges to Texas, and Gets a Nice Little "Puff" in the Paper—Carpenter Jones Camps at Bear Valley and Keeps a Record of the Temperature, and Kills Coons—Bro. Whann Gets a Serenade—Brevities. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Fay, Carpenter, Benchley, McFadden and Pierotti. Mr. Fay, reporting in the matter of the Braun ditch on the Garden Grove road southwest of town, said that he had gone out to view the locality, and could not consent to a decrease in the size of the proposed ditch below that of the cement ditch at which the new ditch was to begin. He had informed Mr. Braun's representative that the ditch must be the same size as the old ditch, and that the company would stand a third of the cost of cementing. Mr. McFadden stated that he had been informed that the cementers were already at work upon the ditch. Mr. Fay replied that if work had already begun it was upon a ditch of the capacity designated, as he had given his consent to the beginning of the work, provided the new ditch was made the same size of the old. Mr. Pierotti of the committee appointed to look into the offer of the building tendered by Mr. Kröger for office purposes reported that the committee had come to the conclusion that the office room offered by that gentleman was unsatisfactory for the purposes intended for it. Mr. Melrose brought up the matter of the bill of H. A. McWilliams for drawing plans and specifications for the new office building, amounting to $50. The same was ordered paid. Supt. Sheppard wrote requesting CONTRABAND CHINESE. Fifteen Celestials Put Ashore at the Landing, and are Taken Into Custody. As Harry Reisbeck was seated upon the porch of the warehouse at the Landing, looking out to sea, about dark on Tuesday evening of last week, his attention was attracted to a steam launch in the offing, trailing a skiff behind it. The launch headed inshore, and a boat containing two men put out from the vessel and attempted to make a landing at a point about three-quarters of a mile from the Landing, toward Long Beach. The boat was swamped in the breakers, and Harry hurried to the rescue, in company of Gilbert McGarvin. The men and the boat were brought ashore, when they said they were the first mate and the engineer of the launch. The captain remained on board. They said they were from Santa Barbara, asked where they were and said they were in quest of gasoline, their supply having run out. They reported heavy gales on their trip, the sou'weester of the previous Sunday having blown them from their course. Harry told them they were at Anaheim Landing and Informed them there was no gasoline in camp; that the nearest point where commodity could be obtained was either Long Beach or San Pedro. One of the men struck out over the sandhills toward Artesia, while the other shortly pulled out for the launch and Harry and McGarvin went back to their house for supper. At 5 o'clock next morning fifteen Chinamen were landed from the skiff on the beach near the point where the boat was swamped the night before. The launch had weighed anchor and was pulling out to sea, trailing the empty skiff, in which the Chinamen had remained during the night, and two white men, barefooted, were making tracks across the hills toward Artesia. Harry provided temporary shelter for the Celestials in one of the houses at the Landing, and on Wednesday morning, taking Chinese to be contraband, set out for Westminster in quest of Constable Ball. A warrant of arrest was issued out of Judge McCoy's court, and Ball and Reisbeck drove down to the Landing in a wagon and the Constable escorted the heatens to Santa Ana, where they were jailed until Thursday morning, when a Deputy United States Marshal came down from Los Angeles and took them to that Hleinigkeiten.

There was no quorum at the meeting of the city trustees on Tuesday evening, and municipal business went over a fortnight until the next regular meeting. It has been four years since a meeting of the city fathers failed of a quorum. The suit of Mary A. Pritchard against R. D. Miller, to quiet title to land at Buena Park, has been on trial in the Superior Court at Santa Ana, and was on Tuesday ordered to be filed on briefs. Mr. Plerotti of the committee appointed to look into the offer of the building tendered by Mr. Kroeger for office purposes reported that the committee had come to the conclusion that the office room offered by that gentleman was unsatisfactory for the purposes intended for it. Mr. Melrose brought up the matter of the bill of H. A. McWilliams for drawing plans and specifications for the new office building, amounting to $50. The same was ordered paid. Supt. Sheppard wrote requesting that the board restore his salary to the figures paid him prior to the recent $10 cut, viz., $90 per month. Mr. Sheppard stated that owing to the dry weather his duties had almost doubled because everybody was irrigating. He had to keep two horses, and feed was high. The board decided to take the matter up in executive session. At the last meeting of the board the salaries of Zanjeros Stone and Brunsworth were raised $5 per month. The Ditch Committee reported recommending the construction of forty-foot cement arches on Spadra road at the crossing of Norham avenue and Orangethorpe avenue and a thirty-foot cement arch across the Kraemer ditch on the Yorba road, the same to take the places of wooden bridges which are in decayed condition, and an agreement having been made with the Supervisors to stand half the cost of such construction. After the reading of the report it was adopted, and the superintendent authorized to begin work on the same. Mr. Fay brought up the matter of the necessity for procuring a stub book for zanjeros, to be used in notifying irrigators when the water will reach them, the absence of such a book at present entailing a hardship at times upon irrigators and zanjeros. Mr. Benchley moved, after a discussion of the subject, that the same be procured, and the Secretary was delegated authority to prepare the same. The Chair—This is the meeting set for the opening of bids for the doing of cement work on the Cajon ditch. Have you any bids, Mr. Secretary? The Secretary—Don't you want to take the bids up in executive session? The Chair—No, sir; the bids will be taken up in open meeting of the board. I don't see any of the bidders here (looking around); except Mr. Stern, perhaps. Are you interested in the bids, Mr. Stern? Herman Stern—(who had entered some time before and remained standing at the Secretary's desk)—No, sir. I am a committee on soliciting stock for the cannery; and am after shares! [Laughter.] The Chair read two bids for doing the work, as follows: One from Gray Bros. & Ward, offering to cement about 450 lineal feet of the Cajon ditch at $4 25 per linear foot; extra concrete be charged for at the rate of 50 cents per cubic foot. Mr. McFadden emitted a low whistle. The second bid was from Clarence Groat, offering to cement about 440 yards of ditch at $4 per foot; extra concrete 45 cents per cubic foot. A certified check in the amount of $50 accompanied each bid. The bids were passed to the executive session. Mr. Schulte appeared before the board and asked that the sides of the ditch on Orangethorpe Avenue be raised about 8 inches for a distance of 300 feet, to permit of the running of a head of water into his ditch, his land being a little higher than the ditch.

Of course it is hard work, but then I did not expect to find an easy time; and I think this is the country for gold. I wish we had old Polly here to pull the grub, for dogs are no good; I can pull more than four dogs, and don't eat any more than one. This is not as bad a country as I thought it would be. If any body wants to know about how we are, tell them we are all right. "P.S.-Tell anybody that wants to come to fetch lots of grub and plenty of muscle." —The dry spell will have its good effects with a large number of beet raisers, who will this year devote more time to the thorough cultivation of their land for beet raising, which is highly essential in this industry. In former years the rainfall has been of such volume as not to compel the beet raiser to till the soil as thoroughly as he would do otherwise to produce a crop, while this season will afford ample opportunity for the pulverizing of the soil. However the area set to beets this year will not be large, but those maturing will no doubt be of rich quality, should a few April showers intervene, which is not at all unlikely. —Next Monday is the regular meeting day of the Farmers' club, and Mr. Cargill's ranch at Brookshurst was the place selected at last month's meeting as the place of assemblage. However in view of the fact that Monday afternoon is also the day set for the final meeting of the cannery project, and inasmuch as the cannery was brought forward under the auspices of the club, and as such has the cordial good-will of the members, it has been suggested that the meeting of the club scheduled at Mr. Cargill's place be postponed for a month. No official action has been taken upon the matter, but in view of all the circumstances, it has been thought best to defer the club meeting for a month—until the last Monday in April. Mr. Cargill drops in as we are about to go to press, and suggests that the meeting of the Farmers' club be held in conjunction with the cannery meeting at the City Hall on Monday afternoon, the meeting scheduled to assemble at his ranch to go over for a month. The idea is a good one. Let all attend the meeting at the City Hall. PERSONAL MENTION. Harry Davis made a trip to Long Beach one day last week. Colonel R. J.

Fred Mickle sometime ago sent friends in Texas a box of oranges, included in which was a sample of the seedlings raised by Mr. Kirby at Peralta, which are noted for their extraordinary size. Some days ago he received a copy of the Uvalde, Tex., News of March 3, containing the following flattering mention of the golden fruit: "The News is under obligations to Mrs. H. W. Baylor for the largest and finest orange it has ever been the writer's good fortune to see, the sample measuring 13½ inches in circumference. It was of a box sent to Mrs. Baylor by her cousin, Mr. Fred Mickle, of Anaheim, Orange county, California, and is certainly a fine advertisement of the wonderful resources of that State. We return thanks to Mrs. Baylor for this kind rememberance." The viewers appointed by the Supervisors for the purpose of examining into the proposed road in the La Habra valley reported on Monday recommending the road as a public convenience, and as the cost of construction will be nominal they report in favor of making the road as proposed. The new road will run through lands belonging to W. J. Hill, A. McDermont, the Stearns rancho and Mrs. Bastenchury. All of these parties consent to the improvement, and will give a free right of way. The cost is estimated at $200, of which $100 will have to be expended for grading and filling across the arroyo and $100 for drainage pipes. The road will be three miles in length, and will provide an outlet for residents of Placentia and La Habra valley, the road formerly use being now closed. Wednesday, April 6th, as will be seen by an advertisement printed in another column, has been appointed by the board as the day when the matter will be heard and disposed of. On March 10th last two boys, aged about 12 and 18 years, during a heavy shower of rain that occurred on the afternoon of that day, sought refuge in the ante-room of the Cypress school-house. Having a shotgun in their possession they began shooting indiscriminately at any bird that happened to be passing in the storm, and against the protest of the teacher, Miss Margaret E. Landell. The boys continued shooting, to the great dismay of many scholars in the schoolroom and after the rain subsided they left, leaving behind them much trouble and fright. O.P. Bunyard, clerk of the Board of Trustees of the district, placed the matter before the District Attorney, which eventuated in a complaint being sworn to by Mr. Bunyard and the criminals will appear before Justice Landell as soon as the arrests are made, which will probably be to-day.
