MORE MONEY NECESSARY. Ten Thousand Dollars in Cash Needed for the Cannery. Board of Directors Issue a Note to the People, to the Effect that Unless $10,000 in Cash is Subscribed It Will be Useless to Attempt the Inauguration of the Enterprise—Six Thousand Dollars in Cash Already Subscribed, and $4000 in Labor and Fruit—Cash Subscribers to be Appealed to to Increase their Subscriptions—Talking About a Site—San Diego Pickle Company's Offer Rejected. The Board of Directors of the Orange County Preserving Company met at Attorney Melrose's office on Monday afternoon; present Fay, Guenther, Benchley, Stern and Dickel. A letter was read from A. H. Cargill resigning as a member of the board, on account of his leaving for New York, to be absent a month or more, and recommending that M. L. Rogers, who has taken such an active interest in the establishment of the preserving company, be appointed in his stead. Mr. Rogers was then, upon motion of Mr. Guenther, unanimously elected a member of the board. The Secretary read various communications, which were filed. Mr. Fay of the committee appointed to go to San Diego and look into the offer of the pickle company to associate itself with the preserving company, reported it was inexpedient to bring the two together, owing to the additional building necessary to house the pickle works. The latter would need a two-story building, which was out of the question at present. The pickle plant was pronounced a very good one, nearly new. Mr. Fay suggested it might be well for the citizens of this city to endeavor to get the pickle plant to locate here, inasmuch as they have about decided to leave San Diego, owing to the excessive freight charges and the lack of market supplies. Asked by Mr. Rogers as to the value of the pickle works, Mr. Fay said the plant was worth about $1500. It was practically new. It had been in use less than a year, and had been fairly successful. Mr. Benchley thought more than $1500 would be required to erect the additional building to house the pickle works. The board discussed the matter of a site for the works, and referred to the site offered by F. Conrad on the South- THE WATER BOARD. How Bro. Carpenter Secured Water for the Fullerton Park—The Superintendent to Wink the Other Eye The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present Fay, Carpenter, Benchley, Pierotti and Nebelung. Mr. Benchley reported in the matter of the Schulte ditch that he had gone to look over the same, but had not found Mr. Schulte at home. He saw that the sides of the ditch had been raised with earth embankments to permit the water to run upon the land, and he was of opinion the matter should be remedied. Mr. Pierotti offered testimony upon the matter, saying that the sides of the ditch would have to be raised from 6 to 8 inches and he was at a loss to know how the ditch came to be constructed with such low sides in the first place. Mr. Fay said he had been so busy with other business during the week that he had found it impossible to go and see the ditch. He thought perhaps the entrance to the ditch might be changed so that Mr. Schulte could get water all right. He desired to go and look at the ditch at his earliest opportunity. The Ditch Committee were given further time in which to report. Mr. Benchley submitted a contract entered into by him, in accordance with instructions given him at the last meeting, and C. E. Groat for the cementing of the ditch on Fairview avenue; also submitting a diagram of the ditch. The report and diagram were filed. Supt. Sheppard's report showed the expense during March to be $855, of which $345 had been for regular employees; construction account $91 20, inclusive of cement, which amounted to about $150. He reported that a car of cement had arrived in good condition, and had been stored in the Sansinena warehouse at Fullerton. Mr. Carpenter brought up; under the head of general business, a communication from the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, applying for water for the irrigation of a little park laid out near the Santa Fe depot, the Chamber to pay for the water at usual rates. The Chamber had laid out the park and the trees needed water, owing to the deficient rainfall, and Mr. Carpenter thought it would be in line with public policy to permit the use of water whether the company received pay for it or not. Mr. Benchley moved that the communication be received, acted upon favorably and referred to the Superintendent. Next Sunday is Easter. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. Ben Knowlton, Saturday morning, a daughter. W. A. Connelly of Fullerton has been granted a divorce from his wife, who is sojourning in Germany. Considerable patriotism is being displayed over the Spanish war scare, and the stars and stripes are being displayed. A meeting of the deciduous fruit association will be held at the City Hall on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A full attendance of members is urgently requested. It is reported the Standard Oil Company has acquired the Puente Oil Company's plant. The price of oil has advanced, in the case of that in common use to the extent of 30 per cent. After April 8th the Sunset Limited will make trips each way once a week only, leaving Los Angeles in both directions on Fridays only. The limited train leaving Tuesdays has been withdrawn. Howard Gates fell from a horse last Thursday and broke his right arm above the wrist. Dr. Bickford set the broken bones and the lad is on the street with his arm in splints. Marriage licenses have been issued to Arthur R. Cresse, aged 21, and Eliza M. Ames, aged 17, both of Los Alamitos; Jas. B. Koll, aged 45, of Temecula, and Ella R. Staples, aged 35, of El Toro. Suppose Gov. Budd refused to call out the militia in the event of war with Spain, to what religion would he owe allegiance? Why, he would be a Budd-hissed! See? The trustees of Centralia school district have called an election to be held on April 23d, for the purpose of voting upon the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $3000 for the erection of a new school house to meet the demands of the rapidly growing district. As Mr. Rouf was at work on Jake Vetter's place some days ago, he suffered an attack of paralysis. He was taken into Vetter's house and Dr. Bickford called. The doctor revived him and he was taken home in the evening. He has been improving slowly ever since. The band boys have leveled off and cleaned up the Planters' Park and will erect a band stand and set the ground to a lawn. The boys contemplate discoursing sweet music upon the stand as soon as erected and she pops will Mr. Fay suggested it might be well for the citizens of this city to endeavor to get the pickle plant to locate here, inasmuch as they have about decided to leave San Diego, owing to the excessive freight charges and the lack of market supplies. Asked by Mr. Rogers as to the value of the pickle works, Mr. Fay said the plant was worth about $1500. It was practically new. It had been in use less than a year, and had been fairly successful. Mr. Benchley thought more than $1500 would be required to erect the additional building to house the pickle works. The board discussed the matter of a site for the works, and referred to the site offered by F. Conrad on the Southern Pacific railway, near the beet dump; the Germain warehouse at the Santa Fe; the brick warehouse on Adele street west of Mr. L. Guenther's residence, Mrs. Steley's offer, and Mr. Goodale's warehouse building on Broadway. No selection was made, but the board were of the opinion that the site should be at some central point in town. A committee consisting of Messrs. Benchley and Guenther, to which Mr. Fay was afterward added, was appointed to proceed to Los Angeles and interview the Superintendent of both railroads relative to offers of a site for the location of the company's works. Mr. Guenther reported the securing of 23 cash shares at Orange, in addition to his 10 shares subscribed at the last meeting, and 10 shares to be taken in labor, a total of 43 shares from Orange. Mr. Guenther made some timely remarks relative to the enterprise in hand, and stated he would probably increase his list quite largely in the near future. Mr. Stern submitted an offer made by W. H. Kennedy involving the purchase of a cannery outfit belonging to him and now located at Falls City, Neb., on easy terms. Filed. The Secretary was instructed to correspond with Mr. Groom, informing him of the time of the next meeting of the board, on Monday next, the 11th, at 2 o'clock, and that the employment of a superintendent will come up for discussion then. Mr. Groom is expected to be present and offer suggestions as to the manner of the construction of the building, and laying out the machinery, as well as other matters connected with the inauguration of the cannery or preserving company. Gov. Whitaker was present and stated that he had subscribed for 10 shares of stock, payable in fruit, at the last meeting, but had failed to see his name on the list. The Governor's subscription was accordingly placed upon the roll of stock. At the suggestion of Mr. Benchley a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Dickel, Stern and Nebelung, was appointed to go among the stockholders who had subscribed for one, two, three or four shares, and urge them to increase their subscriptions to ten shares. On reading the list of stockholders, he said he was surprised to see so many small cash subscriptions. To subscribe for only one share of stock in an enterprise like this was ridiculous, and the cannery would never be made to go unless the moneyed men came to the front more liberally. Mr. Rogers suggested that a committee be appointed to go before the City Council and ask a grant of water privileges and some concession in taxation. Mr. Benchley amended by suggesting that the Council be asked for free water, free lights and exemption from taxation for five years. The same was seconded by Mr. Stern and carried. Messrs. Rogers, Stern and Dickel were appointed as such committee. The Secretary was instructed to prepare a letter from the Directors to be good condition, and had been stored in the Sansinne warehouse at Fullerton. Mr. Carpenter brought up; under the head of general business, a communication from the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce, applying for water for the irrigation of a little park laid out near the Santa Fe depot, the Chamber to pay for the water at usual rates. The Chamber had laid out the park and the trees needed water, owing to the deficient rainfall, and Mr. Carpenter thought it would be in line with public policy to permit the use of water whether the company received pay for it or not. Mr. Benchley moved that the communication be received, acted upon favorably and referred to the Superintendent with authority. Mr. Nebelung asked whether the board had a legal right to run the water upon land having no stock. The question had been brought up in the matter of the sprinkling of the county roads, and had been objected to on the part of many stockholders. Personally he favored the plan of providing water for the trees, but he wanted it done legally. Mr. Carpenter looked at Mr. Nebelung with mingled feelings of surprise and admiration at his faculty for getting a neckhold on the legal aspects of the case. An appeal was taken to Attorney Melrose, who was present, and who said he was of the opinion that according to the strict letter of the law the board had no right to run water upon land having no stock upon it, but in the present case if the board chose to waive that right, he supposed they might be permitted to do so. The quantity of water used would be insignificant, and in view of the fact that the trees in the park were in great need of water, perhaps no objection would be made to using water upon the land. Mr. Carpenter said the park did not include over an eighth of an acre, and the amount of water needed would be small. The company would be put to no expense to construct ditches. The matter was discussed further by the board, and Mr. Carpenter was finally clothed with liberal credentials to report to the Chamber of Commerce that permission was granted for the use of water upon the park, and on suggestion of the chair Supt. Sheppard was to wink the other eye when passing the spot when the water is running. Mr. Benchley said he had suggested to the chamber that the way to get water on the land was to purchase a share of stock and locate it upon the land, but their exchequer was depleted and this it was impossible to do. So nothing went upon the records regarding the matter, and nothing is to appear in the papers about it. And if the stockholders see it in this paper, they needn't believe it, because they must not believe all they see in the papers nowadays. Mr. Carpenter asked what had become of the matter of the Sponable ditch. Mr. Benchley reported progress, and made a detailed report as to the character of the work to be undertaken. The Sponable property is being divided between Sponable and Knowlton and deeds for a cement ditch are promised the company. The committee was given further time in which to report upon the matter. Mr. Benchley called up the application of G.M.Young of Placentia, who desired to put in 360 feet of 12-inch vitrified pipe to conduct water upon his land, having procured the right of way from Col.Tuffree for the pipe line. Mr. Young asked that inasmuch as no breast gate was necessary to be placed in the main ditch, that sum be placed on his credit onthe books ofthe com- All ofthe Fullerton and Placentia Navels have been shipped, but there are yet 1500 carloads of this variety of fruit to move out of Southern California. Mr.Key says, in proportion tothe Washington Navels raised in this section, there has been a greater demand forthe Fullerton and Placentia fruit than that grown in any other sectionof Southern California. Mr. Rogers suggested that a committee be appointed to go before the City Council and ask a grant of water privileges and some concession in taxation. Mr. Benchley amended by suggesting that the Council be asked for free water, free lights and exemption from taxation for five years. The same was seconded by Mr. Stern and carried. Messrs. Rogers, Stern and Dickel were appointed as such committee. The Secretary was instructed to prepare a letter from the Directors, to be published, setting forth the fact that there must be $10,000 cash subscriptions before any further steps can be taken. A letter was read from Frank Ey offering a two-years' lease, rent free, of his property east of the Santa Fe depot, known as the old Dreyfus winery. The offer was filed and the Secretary was instructed to express the thanks of the board to Mr. Ey for his liberal offer. Adjourned to meet on Monday next, the 11th, at 2 o'clock p.m. CARD FROM THE DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors of the Orange County Preserving Company authorize the statement that no contract for machinery for the cannery projected here can be made until such time as $10,000 in cash has been subscribed toward the enterprise. About $6000 in cash has already been subscribed. This amount is deemed to be insufficient to justify going ahead and taking steps to inaugurate the company. The directors urge all persons having the welfare of the community at heart to come forward and assist in the undertaking to the extent of their means. No further steps toward establishing the cannery can be taken until $10,000 in cash has been subscribed. (Signed) THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. For Sale at a Bargain.

Money to Loan. $1500 to lean, Inquire of apr 7-1m* FRANK EY. The Sponable property is being divided between Sponable and Knowlton and deeds for a cement ditch are promised the company. The committee was given further time in which to report upon the matter. Mr. Benchley called up the application of G. M. Young of Placentia, who desired to put in 360 feet of 12-inch vitrified pipe to conduct water upon his land, having procured the right of way from Col. Tuffree for the pipe line. Mr. Young asked that inasmuch as no breast gate was necessary to be placed in the main ditch, that sum be placed to his credit on the books of the company for his laying the pipe at his own expense. Supt. Sheppard stated in reply to a question that the cost of a breast gate would ordinarily be about $6 or $7. Mr. Pierotti favored granting Mr. Young's request, saying that gentleman merely desired the cost of the breast gate as an assistance from the company toward putting in the pipe at his own cost. Mr. Fay also favored granting the request, holding that the putting down of that amount of pipe was an excellent thing for all concerned, that should be dealt with in a liberal spirit. He had been over the land, and as water could only be got on to it effectively through a pipe, he heartily favored Mr. Young's request. On motion of Mr. Benchley, the price of a breast-gate was placed to Mr. Young's credit, to be taken in water. The board went into executive session. Mr. McFadden came in and participated in the executive session. A Clever Trick! It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it.

McCULLOM, Co. of Los Angeles shipped sixteen carloads of Washington Navels from Sanger, Fresno county, this season, which netted the growers $2 a box for the fruit delivered at the depot. The same company also shipped eight carloads of Placentia Navels, which brought the growers fancy prices. All of the Fullerton and Placentia Navels have been shipped, but there are yet 1500 carloads of this variety of fruit to move out of Southern California. Mr. Key says, in proportion to the Washington Navels raised in this section, there has been a greater demand for the Fullerton and Placentia fruit than that grown in any other section of Southern California. —Santa Ana's $65,000 worth of 4½ per cent sewer bonds were sold on Monday night to E. H. Rollins & Sons of Boston for $25 premium. Other bids were received from W. J. Haynes & Sons of Cleveland and S. A. Kean of Chicago, but Rollins & Sons' bid was the only one offering a premium, and was also accompanied by a $1000 certified check. The company requested six weeks to examine the abstract as to the legality of the issue, and will pay the interest on the bonds for that time. The bid was made through Hellman & Sartori of Los Angeles. The abstract was forwarded on Tuesday to the New York attorneys of the bond-buying firm for their approval. The same firm recently bought $180,000 worth of city sewer bonds from Los Angeles. —We acknowledge the receipt from Prof. Hilgard of Berkeley of the report on the Olive Knot, by Frederick T. Bioletti. The Olive Knot is a serious disease of the olive tree, from which, until lately, California seems to have been exempt. Its recent discovery in Merced county, however, makes it necessary that those interested in olive growing should be made fully acquainted with all that is known of a practical nature regarding the disease, in order that its spread shall be restricted as much as possible. It is quite possible, indeed probable, that the disease exists in a mild form in other districts, where it is prevented by the local conditions from increasing to a noticeable extent or doing any appreciable damage. There is danger, however, if such districts exist, that they will serve as centers of infection, from which the disease will spread to other districts, where a different set of conditions will allow it to assume a more virulent and destructive form. As no satisfactory curative measures are known for a tree once badly attacked, it is important that strict quarantine measures should be taken. This is Heinigkeiten. Sunday is Easter.

In Los Angeles on Thursday last Herbert Young, charged with bringing fifteen Chinese from Mexico and putting them ashore at Anaheim Landing, was examined in the United States District Court.

Arthur, the Passadena blacksmith who shot and killed Mrs. Melissa Ransom in Los Angeles some weeks ago, was on Tuesday convicted of murder in the first degree, the jury fixing the punishment at imprisonment for life. The jury was out four hours. On the first ballot they stood ten in favor of the death penalty. Just enough evidence to sustain the insanity theory had been introduced to raise a doubt in the minds of two of the jurors as to Arthur's moral responsibility, and they held out for a less grave punishment. A compromise was finally reached by agreeing upon a life sentence. The Salvation Army will hold a special meeting at the Methodist church this evening. The principal feature of the meeting will be an address by Major Lennox on the Holy Land. He takes as his subject "The Footsteps of Jesus." The Major has spent most of his life in India, and was for forty years a Buddhist. He was converted something like a year ago, through the instrumentality of the Army. As he traveled for two three years in Palestine, he can speak most entertainingly and instructively of Bethlehem, Bethany, Nazareth and many other places, the scenes of the Saviour's earthly life. Do not miss the opportunity to hear him at the Methodist church. No admission will be charged, and a street meeting will be held.

Davis, wife of the Fullerton agent of the Santa Fe, died of peritonitis at her home in that community on Wednesday evening of last week, and the remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery on Friday morning. The deceased was stricken with illness a month ago, and the attending physicians were well aware of the fact that the case was serious, but they entertained strong hopes for her recovery up to a few hours before her death. She was aged twenty-six years, and had a large circle of warm friends in Fullerton and surrounding country. The funeral was held from the residence at 10 o'clock, services being conducted by Rev. F.R.Holcomb. At the conclusion of the service the casket, which was completely covered with flowers, was borne to the hearse by the following pall-bearer: C.E.Ruddock, F.H Daniels, W.R.Collis, C.E.Holcomb, Geo.Ruddock and S.F.Daniels.

After Huff's sentence he will be confronted with a number of reliable witnesses, and the prospects are good for his going up to do time in the penitentiary. Mr.Waters of Waters & Co.of Pomona, who has been out for several days making a study of deciduous fruits over the territory from Redlands and Whittier, states that the effect of the frost in that section is to reduce the tensive property on Walnut streets and erecting a commodious residence near the center of the city.
