At Midnight Monday Night an Incendiary Entered the Building and Set Fire to the Structure—Reward Offered for His Apprehension—Herole Work of the Fire Department Saves the Building from Complete Destruction—What the City Fathers Did at Tuesday Evening's Meeting—Elected Julius Schneider a Member of the Board—Authorized the Bringing of a Criminal Prosecution Against W. C. Eyman for Illegally Tapping the Water Main—Boy Run Over and Killed by the Cars—Nine Cents for Dried Apricots—Republicans Will Caucus—Local Mention.
An alarm of fire was turned in shortly after midnight on Monday night for a blaze in the Central school-building, which destroyed the greater portion of the old part of that structure.
W. M. McFadden, who had come down the stairway of the Eastern Star lodgeroom, in the Odd Fellows' hall, a moment before, was among the first to see the fire, and immediately gave the alarm. W. T. Brown, who was among the assemblage, jumped into McFadden's buggy and drove rapidly to the City Hall and turned in the alarm.
Adolph Schneider had a moment before left the power house on his way home, and had reached a point on Los Angeles street near the lodge building when he heard the calls of fire and discovered the light of the fire breaking through the roof of the schoolhouse. He whipped out his revolver and fired several shots into the air. Meantime he turned and retraced his steps to the power-house to apply the pressure to the fire hydrants.
Marshal Steadman had reached his home shortly after 11 o'clock, and had not gone to sleep when his attention was attracted first by Schneider's pistol shots, and immediately thereafter by the ringing of the fire alarm. He arose hastily, went to the power-house, and with the assistance of Dicky Nemetz hauled the hose-cart over to the burning building.
W. T. Brown was the first one to break into the school. With the assistance of others, he broke down the door at the west end of the school, and ran rapidly up stairs. In the east room the fire was discovered, it having already acquired considerable headway.
the fire in the Central school house. One man suggested that if the identity of the incendiary were known, he should be seized and thrown into the fire.
"Tie the Spanish flag about him, and throw him into the flames!" shouted a youngster.
The firemen worked heroically, and to their efforts alone is due the fact that the entire building was not destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about $5000, and there was $11,550 of insurance upon the building and contents, as follows: In the London & Lancashire Co., $2850; Firemen's Fund, $1500; Pennsylvania Fire Insurance Co., $1500; German-American, $2850; Home Mutual, $2850; total, $11,550.
The School Trustees will proceed to rebuild at the earliest possible moment. The unfinished portion of the new building, which was erected last spring, will be completed for the grammar grades, and probably one or two rooms on the lower floor of the Opera-house will be rented for the high school. The burned building was erected in 1878.
The School Trustees offer a reward of $150 for the apprehension of the Incendiar.
A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
To Be Brought by the City for Illegal Tapping of the Water Mains.
The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Rust, Helmsen, Dickel and Schwenckert.
Trustee Schwenckert of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the repairing of the water culvert on Center street, near Henry Albrecht's place; the wooden top for the oil tank at the power house had been erected, and the galvanized iron for the house over it had been ordered, and would probably be here in a week; the boiler at the power house had been scraped and put in good condition; the electric-light poles in front of Mr. Lewis' place had been raised 9 feet to lift the wires above the treetops; the pole supporting the arc-light at the Santa Fe depot had been heightened, and the arc will be changed from the side of the street to the center of the thoroughfare; twenty-five loads of pampas grass had been placed upon the roads; four or five loads more were necessary to put the bad places in good condition. The committee gave testimony regarding a new arc-light, which was said to be noiseless, which was amplified by Engineer Byers. The during 20 months, and then replied that he did not think in just to himself he should be required pay more than for the three weeks during which time he had occurred at the premises after making this connection. He was willing to pay $1,750 would try to get the rest from H. Trustee Dickel thereupon without his motion.
Marshal Steadman stated he was possession of good evidence to prove that the water connection had existed as early as May, 1896.
There had been no second to Trustee Helmsen's motion for the prosecution Eyman, and he now renewed this tion, speaking emphatically of its dishonesty of making connections to the city's water mains without noticing the city of the existence of same.
Trustee Schwenckert seconded his motion, and the same was carried.
City Attorney Chynoweth took civil cognizance of the motion, and brought a criminal prosecution against Eyman for tapping the water main.
John Eyman arose and stated since the cutting of the inside condition she placed had been without waist He asked that a connection be made in usual manner.
After discussion it was moved that Trustee Dickel, and carried, that connection be made on (1.) that payment of usual fee of $10 by J. Eyman for making the connection, same to be a credit to him for what used; and (2.) that payment of all rearages for water used since they side connection was made 20 months ago.
W. C. Eyman stated that he willing to pay $1 75 for the three weeks water used by him in December, 1893.
Trustee Helmsen observed that payments made by Eyman would give reduce total amount to be exact for use of water on the premise during 20 months past.
Trustee Dickel stated that Monday's fire had demonstrated necessity for having fire extinguishers and he moved that two or three be purchased, as soon as funds are available for the same. Carried.
Trustee Schwenckert drew attention to the necessity for changing the location of the storage room for the electric supplies at the power house, which at present was located over an old pool, which was used for an exhaust steam. The steam rises in room and tarnishes the brass work and, according to the statement made by Engineer Byers, spoils the insulation of the wires stored there thought the cost of a new storeroom would not be so great as the loss traced by the electrical supplies in case sequence of rising steam. The matter after further discussion was referred to the Committee on Public Prosecutions, to consult with the enquirer and make necessary changes.
Marshal Steadman had reached his home shortly after 14 o'clock, and had not gone to sleep when his attention was attracted first by Schneider's pistol shots, and immediately thereafter by the ringing of the fire alarm. He arose hastily, went to the power-house, and with the assistance of Dicky Nemetz hauled the hose-cart over to the burning building.
W. T. Brown was the first one to break into the school. With the assistance of others, he broke down the door at the west end of the school, and ran rapidly up stairs. In the east room the fire was discovered, it having already acquired considerable headway; but had water been handy, the flames could have been easily extinguished.
That the fire was of incendiary origin admits of very little doubt.
When the crowd arrived at the schoolhouse dense clouds of smoke rolled lazily out of the apparently doomed building. The fire could be seen from a distance, burning fiercely in the upper east room of the old building. The flames lit up the countryside for miles around.
The fire department soon had two streams of water playing upon the burning building. The fire seemed to acquire headway, owing to the dry and inflammable nature of the structure, and it seemed as though it would be impossible to save it. However, by dint of hard work and perseverance on the part of the firemen, the newly-constructed portion of the school, at half-past 12, seemed to be tolerably safe from incineration. The roof of this latter structure had been on fire, and the efforts of the department were concentrated upon saving this portion of the school.
At the south entrance of the old structure the flames acquired such headway that the entire destruction of that part of the building seemed to be a matter of but a short time. Only two streams of water were available, and these were kept upon the fire that threatened to communicate with the new building that was connected with the old by an annex running up the two stories, and joining the two structures into one building. Had another stream been at hand to play upon the southern end of the school, the fire would have been subdued within half an hour. As it was, the south end of the building was soon enveloped in flames. The bell tower burned, and the bell and its supporting woodwork fell into the center of the burning building with a crash.
The efforts of the firemen to stay the progress of the flames northward had meantime been effective. The fire upon the roof of the new building had been extinguished, and great volumes of water were precipitated upon the woodwork to keep it from igniting. At 1 o'clock one line of hose was brought around to play upon the south front of the building, while the other fought the flames from the east end. The fire was now well under control, and though great danger threatened, the firemen worked with a will, and at half-past 1 all danger seemed to be over; yet the smouldering flames sent up dense volumes of smoke, through which an occasional shaft of fire shot upward. At 2 o'clock the flames were practically subdued, but water was played upon the building until sunrise, when the flames were extinguished. The splendid building was entirely destroyed.
At sunrise it could be seen that the labors of the fire department had been most effective. The upper part of the old building had been gutted; but the new building and the annex were still intact. No inconsiderable damage had been sustained by the torrents of electric-light poles in front of Mr. Lewis' place had been raised 9 feet to lift the wires above the treetops; the pole supporting the arc-light at the Santa Fe depot had been heightened, and the arc will be changed from the side of the street to the center of the thoroughfare; twenty-five loads of pampas grass had been placed upon the roads; four or five loads more were necessary to put bad places in good condition. The committee gave testimony regarding a new arc-light, which was said to be noiseless, which was amplified by Engineer Byers. The committee also reported progress upon putting in the fire-alarm system.
Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance Committee reported ordinances Nos. 122 and 123, which were passed. They will appear in our next issue, having been unavoidably crowded out this week.
Clerk Nebelung read a communication from the cannery directors relating to the amount of water delivered from the city pipes to the cannery, stating the total possible delivery during 9 hours to be 5960 gallons, and continuing: "Inasmuch as the supply is thus limited and frequently almost entirely cut off, when water is used at Santa Fe station, or at drying house, it is fair to assume that not over 70 percent of the possible delivery is available for use, or used by the preserving company, equal to 4172 gallons per 9 hour day, or 463.5 per active hour, which at city rates, 15 cents per 1000 gallons, would amount to $18 25 per month of 26 active days. It is well known that the cannery factory of the Orange County Preserving Company was not in operation much over half the total days in July; it is also well known that cost of pumping the additional 4172 gallons per day is so small as to be nearly a neglective item in the daily expense account of the water works. We would therefore suggest that $10 per month would be a liberal remuneration for the service rendered and respectfully request that such a rate be made for the preserving company."
The communication was, on motion of Trustee Helmsen, turned over to Engineer Byers for examination, to report at the next meeting.
The board called up the matter of the tapping of the water main by W. C. Eyman.
Marshal Steadman reported that he had cut inside connection made by Eyman, and that Geo. Boyd, who occupies the premises, agreed to the payment of $10 for water used by him since his occupancy of the premises.
Mr. Eyman was present, and arose and acknowledged making the connection, but claimed that he had notified Marshal Steadman, along in November, 1896, that his well had given out, and that he should probably desire city water, and that on the next day he called at Mr. Steadman's residence and requested Mrs. Steadman to informthe Marshal that the connection had been made. The water had since been used during a period of twenty months, and while he had expected a bill to be presented to him for the water used by him, none had ever been presented, and no money had been paid forthe same. The connection was four feet above ground, in plain sight of all, and there was no secrecy about it whatever. Moreover, he had moved out ofthe house within three weeks after makingthe connection, and was at all times ready to pay for the water used by him during that time,the amountofthe same being accordingtothe schedule.

At sunrise it could be seen that the labors of the fire department had been most effective. The upper part of the old building had been gutted; but the new building and the annex were still intact. No inconsiderable damage had been sustained by the torrents of water thrown upon the structure, and within the drops fell incessantly, as from the boughs of a tree after rain.
The two upper rooms presented a scene of wreck and ruin, the desks, still in their places, being buried beneath the charred timber and falling plaster, while pools of water accumulated at intervals upon the vacant places in the floor. There was a constant dripping of water from overhead. The fire started in a small ante-room situated at the north end of the upper east room. The upper rooms, bell-tower and entire south front of the building were entirely consumed. The flames spread rapidly along the roof, communicating with the roof of the new building, the two upper rooms of which have not as yet been hard finished. Open places in the roof of the new building showed where the fire, leaping among the charred rafters, had punctured the roof, acquiring headway once it pierced the shingles. The two lower rooms of the old building were badly wrecked, although the desks seem to be none the worse for the fiery visitation. Patches of wet plaster covered the halls and remnants of the night's deluge hovered about in muddy pools, through which a crowd of sightseers meandered.
While the fire was at its height, and people were discussing the probability of its origin, many being of the emphatic opinion that it was the work of an incendiary, suddenly a report spread about the crowd that the West Anaheim school was on fire.
Mrs. W. T. Brown was among the first to hear the report, and going at once to her husband, informed him of the report, and both started for home. Mr. Brown and his wife returned shortly, and pronounced the report untrue. However, for some time the most absurd reports prevailed, one being to the effect that the incendiary had started the fire at the West Anaheim school to get the fire department out of the fire house and well on its way to West Anaheim, and then start that he should probably desire city water, and that on the next day he called at Mr. Steadman's residence and requested Mrs. Steadman to inform the Marshal that the connection had been made. The water had since been used during a period of twenty months, and while he had expected a bill to be presented to him for the water used by him, none had ever been presented, and no money had been paid for the same. The connection was four feet above ground, in plain sight of all, and there was no secrecy about it whatever. Moreover, he had moved out of the house within three weeks after making the connection, and was at all times ready to pay for the water used by him during that time, the amount of the same being, according to the schedule, $1.75 per month. He disclaimed any intention of committing a misdeed while making the connection, and charged the Marshal with neglect of duty in not collecting the monthly water rate since he (Eyman) informed him of his purpose of making the connection. So far as the charge of $10 for making a connection with the city's water main was concerned, the Marshal had informed him of nothing of the kind. He was in ignorance of the existence of the charge, and begged the board not to think that in making the connection he was desirous of doing anything wrong.
The Marshal entered a general denial of Eyman's statements, denied that Eyman had informed his wife that he had made the connection, and Trustee Helmsen gave expression to some very emphatic sentiments in relation to tapping the city's water pipes in general.
John Eyman gave testimony as to the condition of the well on the place, which had been in good condition, but which caved in December, 1886, and recourse had to be had to the city's mains for procuring water. There was nothing secret about the connection; it had been there for fourteen years.
The matter led to a lengthy discussion between the members of the board and Eyman and the Marshal, after which Trustee Helmsen moved that Eyman be prosecuted for tampering with the city water mains.
Trustee Rust thought the better plan would be to present Eyman a bill for the water used, and defer any prosecution until he refused to pay.
Trustee Dickel moved to present Eyman with a bill for the water used during the 20 months of the alleged existence of the connection. He said that in failing to notify the Marshal personally of making the connection he (Eyman) had laid himself liable to a charge of tapping the main without warrant.
Trustee Dickel asked Eyman if he were willing to pay for the water used
An inquest was held at the town of Los Alamitos on Monday, the 25th on the body of Warren Goodin, who was killed by the 6.25 p.m. train from Anaheim Sunday evening, one and half miles east of that place, at this crossing south of Cypress school house and about one mile from home.
From the evidence it now appears that he was lying on the south side of the track with his head on a tie close to the rail. He must have had his arm under his head, as from experiment tried there the pilot would otherwise not have touched him. It took a piece about 3x4 off the right side of he head over the right ear and toward the back of the head.
The fireman did not see him untouched about five car lengths off and called for an engineer who immediately shut down steam and applied the air brakes but they could not stop soon enough. They removed the body and then came on and got A. H. Manser and Constable Devine and went back for the body.
During the fireman's examination he stated that the boys had been in habit a short time back of getting on the track and then on the approach to the train to jump up and get out of this way.
The deceased had been at Anaheim Landing since Saturday afternoon and being tired and not having very much if any sleep, had sat down to rest and fallen to sleep.
When the train came in with the body his father, E. Goodin, was at the Post office, and on looking in at his car recognized the body as being that of his son.
Undertaker Backs took charge of the body in behalf of the parents. The remains were interred at the Artesia cemetery on Tuesday.
W. C. Swain of Escondido, accompanied by his son, C. W. Swain, is town introducing Golden Eagle Mineral Sponge, which is useful for cleaning nig and polishing gold and silver ware, jewelry, nickel plate, show cases and all articles requiring a high degree of polish. It is a natural product of San Diego county, was discovered by him while hunting, and has met with wide spread celebrity. Mr. Swain will carry upon our citizens and show what a useful article the sponge is. After seeing it work you will at once decide that you can't get along without it. We don't see how we ever got along without one so long.
ing the 20 months, and the latter that he did not think in justice himself he should be required to more than for the three weeks which time he had occupied premises after making the connection. He was willing to pay $1.75, and try to get the rest from Boyd. Lee Dickel thereupon withdrew motion.
Mrshal Steadman stated he was in session of good evidence to show the water connection had existed only as May, 1896.
There had been no second to Trustee Sesen's motion for the prosecution of him, and he now renewed the motion speaking emphatically of the necessity of making connections with city's water mains without notify-ing the city of the existence of the stree Schwenckert seconded the man, and the same was carried.
Attorney Chynoweth took offignance of the motion, and will a criminal prosecution against him for tapping the water main.
In Eyman arose and stated that the cutting of the inside connecte place had been without water. Added that a connection be made in usual manner.
Her discussion it was moved by Mrse Dickel, and carried, that the petition be made on (1.) the payoff of the usual fee of $10 by John for making the connection, the so be a credit to him for water and (2.) the payment of all arrows for water used since the in-connection was made 20 months.
C. Eyman stated that he was to pay $175 for the three weeks' use by Eyman would go to total amount to be exacted use of the water on the premises 20 months past.
Mrse Dickel stated that Monday fire had demonstrated the need for having fire extinguishers, moved that two or three be pursued as soon as funds are available same.

The firemen at Monday night's fire is to be approved in the most praiseworthy words of commendation. That the men saved any part of the building after the fire had attained such headway is not to be wondered at, when the excellence of the water pressure and the usual perseverance of their work is taken into account; but that the loss should turn out to be so trifling when such great disaster threatened is matter for congratulations upon all sides. But for the well-directed efforts of the firemen the building would have been a total loss; indeed it seemed the building would be entirely destroyed at several stages of the fire. The firemen worked all night, and many of them ruined their clothing past all redemption. Mere words of thanks for the work per-

George J. Turner, a highly respected resident of Westminster, fell dead while at work in the celery field in the Peat Lands Saturday morning. He started to work in the morning in apparent health, along with Harry Woodington, and both were setting out the celery plants, each being a short distance from the other, when Turner fell over with a groan, expiring almost instantly. Woodington ran to his assistance, but nothing could be done for the unfortunate man. The Coroner found that death was due to natural causes, being superinduced by apoplexy. The interment occurred at Sant Ana on Monday. Decreeed was aged 45 years, and leaves a wife and three children to mourn his loss.
The work of the firemen at Monday night's fire is to be approved in the most praiseworthy words of commendation. That the men saved any part of the building after the fire had attained such headway is not to be wondered at, when the excellence of the water pressure and the usual perseverance of their work is taken into account; but that the loss should turn out to be so trifling when such great disaster threatened is matter for congratulations upon all sides. But for the well-directed efforts of the firemen the building would have been a total loss; indeed it seemed the building would be entirely destroyed at several stages of the fire. The firemen worked all night, and many of them ruined their clothing past all redemption. Mere words of thanks for the work per-

the evidence it now appears was lying on the south side of a park with his head on a tie close to the wall. He must have had his arm in his head, as from experiments were the pilot would otherwise touched him. It took a piece off the right side of the head and right ear toward the back head.
The fireman did not see him until he car lengths off and called to the officer who immediately shut off the air brakes but applied the air brakes and did not stop soon enough. They found the body and then came on and Manser and Constable Devoe set back for the body.
The fireman's examination he that the boys had been in a short time back of getting on and then on the approach of jump up and get out of the deceased had been at Anaheim since Saturday afternoon and had not having very much sleep, had sat down to rest and sleep.
The train came in with the body, E. Goodin, was at the Post-road looking in the car recogging the body as being that of his son. Theaker Backs took charge of duty in behalf of the parents. Remains were interred at the cemetery on Tuesday.
C. Swain of Escondido, accompanied his son, C. W. Swain, is in introducing the Golden Eagle Sponge, which is useful in sand polishing gold and silver jewelry, nickel plate, show cases articles requiring a high degree. It is a natural product of San County, was discovered by him hunting, and has met with wide celebrity. Mr. Swain will call citizens and show what a useable the sponge is. After seeing you will at once decide that it get along without it. We know how we ever got along with so long.
the building after the fire had attained such headway is not to be wondered at, when the excellence of the water pressure and the usual perseverance of their work is taken into account; but that the loss should turn out to be so trifling when such great disaster threatened is matter for congratulations upon all sides. But for the well-directed efforts of the firemen the building would have been a total loss; indeed it seemed the building would be entirely destroyed at several stages of the fire. The firemen worked all night, and many of them ruined their clothing past all redemption. Mere words of thanks for the work performed are as empty nothings in cases such as these. The insurance companies having risks on the building can well afford to pay the boys $500 for the work performed—one-half to be devoted to increasing the efficiency of the company and the other half to be applied as a small testimonial to the excellent character of the work. Certainly the boys should not be permitted to go unrewarded after the work of last Monday night.
—The largest funeral that ever occurred in the county was that of Louis Baker, at Santa Ana on Sunday, the deceased having breathed his last at Camp Merritt on the preceding Friday, of a complication of ailments, due to vaccination, measles and later on to pneumonia. Baker departed with Co.L. Seventh Regiment, N.G.C., for the north in May, weighing at the time about 175 pounds, and being in excellent bodily health. Owing to the inroads of the diseases that encompassed his untimely end, his weight was not to exceed 125 pounds when he died. His mother had gone to San Francisco to attend her son, but under the strict military rules, was unable to remain with him, and she returned to her home in Santa Ana, only to receive a dispatch a day or two later that if she wished to see her son alive she must come at once to Camp Merritt. She arrived in time to be present at the deathbed, her husband having also come over from Oakland to be in attendance at the death of his son. The remains were brought home and interred with military honors on Sunday, when the town was draped in mourning, flags were at half-mast, bells tollled and a solemn sadness pervaded the hearts of all. An impressive funeral address was delivered by Rev. Hopkins at the home of the deceased, and at the cemetery farewell shots were fired by a military guard over the grave. The deceased was 25 years of age, and was universally esteemed for his upright qualities.
Miss Adella Eichler, niece of Mrs. Koenig, was on Saturday morning taken to Los Angeles to be under the doctors care for a complication of disorders, threatening grave consequences. She recently submitted to a surgical operation, and fears are entertained that blood-poisoning may intervene. Mrs. Koenig accompanied Miss Eichler, and will remain with her until there is a favorable turn in her condition.
—The banquet tendered the returning Turners from the San Jose turnament, at Turners' hall on Wednesday evening last, was the most enjoyable in the line of similar entertainments given here in a long time. The tables literally groaned under their weight of good things, and fine old wines were provided to assist the digestive apparatus. There was cold chicken; hams, pickles and olives, spiced eggs and other delicacies in generous quantity, that the Anaheim ladies know so well how to prepare. After the conclusion of the onslaught upon the feast, President Ahlborn of the Verein read the names of the victorious Turners, those of the Anaheim boys (Paul Turk and Joe Backs), being loudly applauded. When the announcement was made that the Anaheim Turner boys had won the first prizes in their class—the hall sounded with the cheering. The singing section rendered numerous selections during the evening, and a social hop terminated the festivities.
Mr. Neff informs us that the dried apricots of the Deciduous Fruit Association were sold on Monday, the price being a shade over 9 cents per pound, and the output 16 tons. Three buyers were in town anxious to purchase one representing a Chicago house, one a Los Angeles establishment and the third a San Francisco firm. The price is the highest recorded in recent years, and the dried fruit men are correspondingly happy.
When dried apricots sell at 9 cents per pound, the net price to growers, after deducting all association expenses, is $25 per ton of average quality green fruit.
The sale of the association apricots at such good prices shows the advantage of co-operation better than anything else could do, and certainly should convince our growers that it is to their best interest to connect themselves with the association.
The walnut season is coming on and the association has made arrangements for selling the walnut crop of its members which it is believed will be fully as satisfactory.
Mrs. Abbot Kinney and Mrs. Ryan of Santa Monica have issued vitations to a golf turnament to be at the new golf links recently structured at South Santa Monica Messrs. Abbot Kinney and F.G. to take place on Friday and Sat July 29th and 30th. The turn will consist of two events, on ladies and one for gentlemen, handicap, and some beautiful will be given. Mesdames Kinne Ryan are interested in making turnament a great social success are sparing no pains toward that They will serve luncheon on both under a large marquee which has erected. The links have beeniten Ocean Park links-and no whatever are to be made players. golf spirit has taken possession of town and the two links which been laid out at its extreme north south ends promise no end of a ment to lovers of the game.

Napoleon Hart has had hauled to his trucks on Claudina street, several loads of large bowlders from Santiago Canyon, which he will have placed along the inner side-walk line, and thus improve the appearance of his property.
Manuel Crespin was in town from his lunch at Placentia on Saturday, and reports everything to be in a flourishing condition over his way. While the rainfall has been deficient, yet the patches are full of water, and orchards are looking well. He hopes for an abundant rainfall next winter.
Superintendent Kennedy of the canery desires us to state that growers ofaches who bring their fruit to the canery should be careful not to perish the fruit to be too ripe. Theaches are peeled by hand, and a soft cloth is not desirable. Firm fruit is what is wanted, even though it be not only ripe.
Rudolph Tuffree, who is engaged with the Santa Fe section gang, insists us that new ties are being put in along the track on this division of the road. The section gang is kept constantly busy keeping the track in good condition and repair.
Robert Flock of Santa Ana, whopires to the Republican nomination Assessor, was in town on Thursday making new acquaintances and getting with old friends. Mr. Flock will have strong support in the convention, and if nominated will undoubtedly take a strong race at the polls.
Joe Giel and wife came down frompton one day last week to visit Mrs. Giel's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ellin of West Anaheim. Joe reports he beet crop about Compton to be live the average, many of the patches damp lands having acquired a very good stand.
The canery yesterday shipped cases of canned apricots, 24 cans in case, to New York. The car in which consignment was shipped was decoated with large labels, "Mother Colony Land. Packed by Orange County Prepping Co., Anaheim, Cal." The goods are standards and good prices were gained for them.
