WEEK'S HAPPENINGS. Railroad Surveyors Still Busy In the Field. Engaged in Cross-Sectioning the Line on Santa Ana and Olive streets and to the South Beyond the Semaphore—Right-of-Way Matters Being Straightened out, and only a Few Property owners Remaining to Be Settled with—Surveyors Run the Line out Santa Ana Street Easterly. Across the Santa Fe Tracks—Will the Road Run North on East Street, Along the Route of the Former Anaheim, Olinda and Pomona Railroad?—Railroad Company Securing More Land—Big Things Promised. The railway situation remains practically as outlined last week. Mr. Boschke returned on Saturday from Santa Barbara, where he went to supervise the beginning of work upon this end of the fifty-mile gap on the surf line; and since his return he and his force of surveyors have been busy cross-sectioning the line from the curve through the Fay place along Santa Ana and Olive streets to a junction with the Santa Ana track near the river south of the semaphore. All the property owners along the route have been settled with, with the exception of a few, and with these it is expected Mr. Pattison will come to an agreement as soon as he returns from San Francisco. As soon as easements are obtained from all property owners along the line, the Grant Bros' grading outfit will be ordered here from Los Angeles, where they are now on waiting orders pending the adjudication of rights-of-way. Mr. Fay sustains serious damage from the curve of the track upon his place. It transpires the new road cuts off nearly one hundred of his best walnut trees, and takes nearly three acres. The value of a walnut tree being placed at about $15, the amount of the damage sustained by that gentleman may be arrived at approximately; but, although it is known that he has settled with the company and given them right-of-way, the exact amount of the consideration has not yet been made public. Other property owners have been settled with to a considerable number. It is thought that Mr. Pattison's departure for San Francisco was in reference to important matters connected with the construction of the road to Placentia, the oil wells, to Chino and to Whittier. That there will be extensive railroad building here is indicated to $23 70. The officers are Mrs. D. W. Morgan, president; Mrs. J. Speidel, vice president; Miss E. T. Cox, secretary and treasurer. The "market" which has been closed temporarily is again open. Several carloads of corn and hay have been received and sold by Whitaker & Co. The condensed milk factory is rushing affairs. Carloads of milk for Northern and Eastern markets are almost a daily occurrence. The Y. P. S. C. E. social given at Mrs. Andrew Whitaker's last Friday was a social success. Mrs. U. R. Wickersham is visiting friends at Tustin. There will be a hop given by some of the young folks at the warehouse. Invitations are out, "to be presented at the door," March 24th. The public school will not be in session next week on account of the teachers' institute at Santa Ana. OLIVE MASKERS. How the Fraternal Brotherhood Celebrated the Birthday of Ireland's Patron Saint. OLIVE, Cal., March 20, 1899. The Fraternal Brotherhood of Olive celebrated the birthday of Ireland's patron saint with a masquerade ball which was held in the schoolhouse hall on Friday evening, March 17th. A little before 8 o'clock the first masker appeared and by 9 the ballroom was filled with a jolly but orderly crowd. Borchard's orchestra struck up the grand march, which was led by Floor Manager W. T. Bush, who was followed by about 30 couples. Some of the costumes were comic, while others were very handsome, showing considerable artistic taste on the part of the wearer. The maskers occupied the floor until 11:30, when the order to unmask brought forth many exclamations of surprise. Supper was announced, and after that was put where it would do the most good, dancing was resumed and kept up until 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, when "Home, Sweet Home" ended Olive's most successful ball. List of lady maskers: Mrs. N. Schmidt—Olive mills. Costume of flour sacks. Mrs. N. Bush—Red Riding Hood. Mrs. F. Carpenter—Domino. Mrs. Rose Stock—Star Light. Mrs. O. F. Bush—Evening Dress. Mrs. F. H. Meats—Queen of the Arena. Mrs. M. Payne—Royal Flush. Mrs. F. Pico—Mexican lady. Mrs. S. Robbins—Red Riding Hood. Mrs. L. Williams—Domino. Weather sharps look for more rainy about the first of next week. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Brook near Katella, a daughter, March 19. The Fullerton high school baseball team will play the Whittier team on Saturday, March 25, at the West Anheim grounds. The young folks' social club will entertained at the Odd Fellows' hall this (Thursday) evening by Miss Doe Zeyn. Schools will be out next week in account of the Teachers' Institute which meets at Santa Ana, from Monday until Friday. Judge Landell came in from Park the other day to see how the city was getting along. The Judge no dispenses justice in the new Bueno Park judicial township, but finds time to come into town once in a while. The Weather Bureau reports rain to be general throughout State. The rain assures a fine h crop, some grain and restores confidence. Fruit trees are blooming freely with indications of a good crop. The Farmers' club meets at Mr Rogers' residence on East Center street on Monday afternoon. An interesting program is being prepared, and a few turnout of members is expected. Buena Park had 1.02 inches of rain on Sunday night, the heaviest rainfall this year. The country about the Park is looking well. A large hay crop assured, and the rain yet to come will doubtless produce a good yield of gravel as well. Four thousand acres of beets have been planted at Alamitos, and the farmers are planting 3000 more. The beet now up are looking well, and next week hundreds of beet thinnners will be put to work. The season's outlook will never brighter. The item has been going round of the press that the Los Alamitos farmers would plant 1000 additional acres of beets as a result of the rain.The Los Alamitos farmers have ready planted 4000 acres of beets as a result of 3000 acres more will be planted, making 7000 acres altogether. An excursion of members of the San Joaquin gun club, a majority whom live in Los Angeles, visited their club's new possessions near Bolsa Chi bay on Saturday. The club has purchased 2000 acres as a game preserve and it is expected it will purchase more. The Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church are preparing an "Old Maid It transpires the new road cuts on nearly one hundred of his best walnut trees, and takes nearly three acres. The value of a walnut tree being placed at about $15, the amount of the damage sustained by that gentleman may be arrived at approximately; but, although it is known that he has settled with the company and given them right-of-way, the exact amount of the consideration has not yet been made public. Other property-owners have been settled with to a considerable number. It is thought that Mr. Pattison’s departure for San Francisco was in reference to important matters connected with the construction of the road to Placentia, the oil wells, to Chino and to Whittier. That there will be extensive railroad building here is indicated by the fact that Mr. Boschke and his outfit contemplate remaining, so reports have it, for some two or three months. The surveyors on Saturday ran a line on Santa Ana street, east of Olive street, crossing the Santa Fe track on Orange street, and continuing to the easterly city limits. Here it is said the road contemplates curving onto East street, and following the grade of the old Anaheim, Olinda and Pomona road. It had been the supposition that the road to Placentia would run east of East street for a distance, and then curve northerly to Placentia near Mr. Scott’s place. While a few grade stakes have been placed on Santa Ana street east of East street, the surveyors’ work shows that a curve at that point, from Santa Ana to East street, might be the possible route of the road. So far as the grade stakes show, provision has evidently been made to permit the road moving either way. The report is persistently circulated that the railroad has acquired an option for 150 feet of the Dreyfus property on Santa Ana street, running from Olive to Los Angeles. This will give them 300 feet along Santa Ana street at that point, as the company has already secured 150 feet of the Konig tract opposite, where the depot grounds will be located. The report also has it that a 150-foot strip on the south side of the street, from Los Angeles west to Lemon, will be also purchased by the company. This will give them abundant room for their commodious freight and passenger depot, warehouses and such shops as the railroad may require at this point. The purchase of the 150-foot strip on the south side of Santa Ana street, running for a length of half a mile indicates probably that the railroad has extensive building operations in sight—probably workshops, for it is already known that all the through freight to and from San Pedro will ultimately pass through Anaheim. The railroad has already extensive workshops at Los Angeles and San Bernardino, and it would not surprise the knowing ones to learn that it is the intention of the company to erect extensive works in this city. Mr. Pattison observed on leaving for San Francisco last week: "The Southern Pacific has big things in store for this city." Asked as to what he might refer, he diplomatically replied that the public would soon be in possession of all the facts. "Are you going to build your road to Placentia?" asked one of the leading horticulturists of Placentia avenue, of Mr. Pattison, a short time before his departure. "That's just what we are going to do," replied that gentleman. It is confidently expected that on his return he will, after settling with the few property-owners as yet unsettled with, immediately proceed to securing right-of-way to Placentia.

An excursion of members of the San Joaquin gun club, a majority who live in Los Angeles, visited this club's new possessions near BolaChi Bay on Saturday. The club has chased 2000 acres as a game preserve and it is expected it will purchase more. The Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal church are preparing an "Old Male Convention," to be given at the Open House about the middle of April. Athe pretty girls in town will be there and an enjoyable time is looked forward to. The convention will probably hold in this city and Fullerton. The firm of Mortimer & Harris is torneys-at-law, Los Angeles, has been dissolved. Mr. C. White Mortimer who is also the British Vice Consul for this district, will continue to practice in the offices formerly occupied by the old firm. Mr. Mortimer controls large amount of English capital, invested on mortgages in Los Angeles and elsewhere in Southern California. Three hundred and twelve strings of chilis were sold at Constable's sale at Crowninshield's store on Monday afternoon, to satisfy a judgment in the amount of $53 75, in favor of Tang Seng and against Ah Poy, a Chinese vegetable gardener operating on the Drexford fus tract on South Los Angeles streets. A quantity of plows and farming implements were also sold under the same attachment. The chilis were purchased by Ah Ying, at the rate of 16 cents per string. Enough was realized by pay the claim and costs, and the Celestials went on their way rejoicing. Hist! There's a Santa Fe detainee about spying out what the Southern Pacific is doing. He approached gentleman at Placentia, who was ennobled easily said to be quietly securing rights of way for the road between cities and that point, and asked him he knew anything about the Southern Pacific's plans about building in Placentia country. "No I don't replied the Placentia man," and if I didn't tell you. If your co-pany cannot do better than to send spies to learn what other people are doing they ought to," but the work will not bear repeating. And they Santa Fe "detective" departed. The same chap has been in consultations with other parties trying to place pebble in the cogwheels of progress but his work has so far been of no avail Let us all rise and sing, "Here come the Bogle Man!" Loose electric light wires are being repaired and tightened in the city Nearly all the wires of the service are out of order as a result of recent storms In a number of cases fell across the wires causing damage Repair will be hastened because of fear another storm might blow down these loosened lines—Anaheim Cor. L. Times. Let's see: Isn't this same chap respondent who wrote some time ago that erude oil was being placed above the bases of the electric-light poles "preserve the ground about them" Isn't he same chap who had ripe pears in the La Habra valley a month ago, and hay-mowing going on here about about the same time? Asked as to what he might refer, he diplomatically replied that the public would soon be in possession of all the facts. "Are you going to build your road to Placentia?" asked one of the leading horticulturists of Placentia avenue, of Mr. Pattison, a short time before his departure. "That's just what we are going to do," replied that gentleman. It is confidently expected that on his return he will, after settling with the few property-owners as yet unsettled with, immediately proceed to securing right-of-way to Placentia. A force of Southern Pacific surveyors have been surveying over the Olinda ranch from Chino south, and it is reported that grade stakes have been set from Placentia through the La Habra valley to Whittier. Mr. Boschke left yesterday morning again for Santa Barbara. During his absence the force of surveyors here will be in charge of Mr. Carrillo. The surveyors yesterday continued their cross-sectioning. BUENA PARK The tenth anniversary of the L. M. A. S. was celebrated last Thursday at the home of the president of the society, Mrs. Jas. A. Whitaker. This society has been the movement of the place, socially and in every good work, during all these years. There are many things that had their beginning in this society and many more will follow. It is not a church society so-called, but has worked in that line a great deal. It has a Dorcas box for the needy, and the ladies are ever ready with thimble and needle to sew for those who are invalids or orphans, without charge. There are some, who have had a desire to aid the cause, that have invited the ladies to their homes to work for them and have remunerated the society. Not a penny has been wasted. The officers are: Mrs. James A. Whitaker, president; Mrs. Joseph Speidel, vice president; Mrs. Richard Archibald, treasurer; Miss Emma T. Cox, secretary. Thursday evening the society will have a social entertainment at Forester's hall. It will consist of a program—music and literary; the sale of "mystery boxes" at ten cents each; ice cream and cake, fifteen cents per dish. Admission free. The Missionary society of the Congregational church held their annual meeting at the parsonage on Tuesday afternoon. It was an enjoyable occasion.

City of plows and farming images were also sold under the same tent. The chilis were purchases by Ying, at the rate of 16 cents ing. Enough was realized to claim and costs, and the Celesent on their way rejoicing. There’s a Santa Fe detective spying out what the South Pacific is doing. He approached a man at Placentia, who was error-said to be quietly securing way for the road between this point, and asked him if he saw anything about the Southern plans about building into Centrica country. “No I don’t.” The Placentia man, “and if I shouldn’t tell you. If your commute do better than to send out to learn what other people are they ought to,” but the words bear repeating. And the detective” departed.. This shap has been in consultation with other parties trying to place a cogwheels of progress, work has so far been of no avail, rise and sing, “Here comes the Man!” These electric light wires are being built and tightened in the city. All the wires of the service are added as a result of recent storms. Number of cases trees fell across fires, causing damage. Repairs have hastened, because of fear that storm might blow down the lines.—Anaheim Cor. L. A. See: Isn’t this the same corpent who wrote some time ago oil was being placed about cars of the electric-light poles to save the ground about them?” The same chap who had ripe fruit in La Habra valley a month and hay-mowing going on here-out the same time? Mr. Neff reports his apricot orchard in full bloom, and the crop promising to be the largest yet harvested from his trees. His later varieties are beginning to swell their buds, and will not put forth their bloom until next week. He expects a crop of not less than 100 tons of first-class fruit. Being a scientific orchardist, and thoroughly up to date in his ideas, he keeps in close touch with the signal service, this being the beginning of the critical time for frost. Last year, on March 26th, a killing frost destroyed a good portion of the deciduous fruit crop hereabouts, the thermometer going down to 28. The year before, on March 26th, a frost played havoc with deciduous fruits. Mr. Neff keeps steam up in his new boiler, ready to turn the water in his trees at the first sign of the approach of frost—which, however, we hope he may not have contend with. While his trees were nipped last March, yet he harvested upwards of fifty tons of fine fruit, which sold at advantageous prices. Another week and the frost period will be pretty well over. The season so far has been ideal for apricots. The weather prediction for tomorrow is fair weather. Judge Shanley had three early morning visitors on Saturday, Marshal Steadman having gathered them in during the preceding evening. The first to appear for sentence was Thomas Truman, who was charged with disorderly conduct and indulging in profane language. This being his second offense, Thomas was fined in the amount of twenty circulating planks of the realm. Charles Ryden, a chum of Thomas’, with a similar charge against him, having been out with that gentleman, was fined $10, this being his first appearance. Albert Hunter, Thomas’ brother-in-law, a new arrival from a town up the coast called San Francisco, was fined $10 on a similar charge, Mr. Hunter having been out with Thomas, who was showing his friends the sights of the town, during the preceding evening. Early in the evening Thomas succeeded in painting his nose a lovely carmine hue. He became bolsterous, and was advised by the Marshal to go home and be good. This Thomas agreed to do, but an hour later he broke out in a different part of town, more demonstrative than before, unlunging himself of a choice collection of Presidio cuss words. Thomas is a naughty boy when his whiskers are leaking. He attracted the attention of the vigilant Marshal, who escorted the three off to the city bastile, and his Honor polished them all off in the morning. Rain began falling early on Thursday morning last and continued at intervals until 10 o’clock. A west wind springing up at that time dissipated the clouds, and there were clearing skies during the remainder of the day. Forty-four hundredths of an inch of rain fell, according to Mr. Dickel’s gauge, and 49 according to Nibe. celery crop all out, and the farmers putting in barley and alfalfa, and getting ready for another beet crop. James Moss and A. A. Bates, the two buttermilk experts of the Westminster creamery, were in town on Tuesday seeing the sights and renewing old acquaintances. Carpenter MoWilliams has a force of six carpenters engaged upon the erection of a five-room residence for Mrs. Clara Rehwaldt, mother of Mrs. Otto Storm, on Broadway, below Palm street. E. B. Mould, the Orange man who disappeared a fortnight ago, leaving his young bride behind him, returned some days ago, having taken a whirl about Los Angeles. He has settled down at his home and promises to be good. Carl Raab came from El Monte on Tuesday. Mr. Rabb has a creamyery at that point, as well as the creamyery west of town, and reports business brisk. The country is looking fine, he informs us since the rain, and he looks forward to a particularly favorable year. W.M. McFadden leaves on Friday of next week for San Francisco to attend the biennial session of the Grand Council of Chosen Friends of which he is the Grand Trustee. He will be accompanied by his wife. Hrs.H.A.M.Williams will accompany them as the delegate from the local council. The party will be absent probably ten days. Neil Bailey returned on Monday evening from Tucson, where upon his arrival at Deming a fortnight ago, he was seat to relieve a railroad official for a week. At the end of that time he was telegraphed to come to Los Angeles on a business mission of interest to himself. He left on yesterday morning’s train for Deming to resume his position. W.F.Botsford, Count Schmidt and a party of friends came down from Los Angeles on the Southern Pacific yesterday morning and took the Alamitos train for Benedict, where carriages were waiting to convey them to the Bolsa. Mr.Botsford said the party came down to select site for the proposed clubhouse to be erected by the new Bolsa gun club. Chaucey Huggans, proprietor of the Reception店 and Fullerton bottling works, was over on Tuesday afternoon on a short business mission. Mr.Huggans shows great improvement in his health, having almost entirely recovered from his recent indisposition, and is giving renewed attention to his business affairs. He conducts one of the finest hotels in Southern California, and his bottling works are building up a reputation second to none in State. Chaucey is a hustler, sure enough. F.E.Frantz, treasurer of the Lutz Co., was over from Santa Ana yesterday and made a trip out to Los Alamitos. Mr.Frantz informs us that Mr.Smeltzer is securing $1 50 a dozen bunches for colery in Kansas City; that gentleman having established a corner on the vegetable. Inasmuch as the celery cost him, at $100 per acre, about 13 cents a dozen, it will be seen that he is making quite a nice profit. Some of the celery was bought as high as $130 per acre, yet Mr.Smeltzer will nevertheless come out more than even on it. Mr.Frantz thinks the rain insures bountiful crops. I.N.Pattison and wife left on an evening last for their home in Francisco; he having been called on railway business demanding presence in the city. On Thursdore came to an agreement with a number of property-owners for right-on Friday morning reports matter had been very close up.

Rain began falling early on Thursday morning last and continued at intervals until 10 o'clock. A west wind springing up at that time dissipated the clouds, and there were clearing skies during the remainder of the day. Forty-four hundredths of an inch of rain fell, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, and .49 according to Mr. Nebelung's gauge. Rain again fell on Thursday evening, and during the night several heavy showers descended. The precipitation for the night was .23 by Mr. Dickel's gauge, and .20 by Herr Nebelung'; total for the storm, .67 and .69 respectively. On Sunday evening at 7:30 a shower of rain patterned upon the roof. Although the skies had been overcast during the afternoon, the weather was cool, with the wind from the west, and few looked for rain. The wind veered around to the south, the weather became warmer, and during the night some of the heaviest showers of the season descended. Mr. Dickel's gauge recorded .66 of an inch for the night's downpour, bringing the total for the storm up to 1.33 inches. According to Mr. Nebelung's gauge the precipitation of Sunday night amounted to .75 of an inch, Mr. Darling's gauge made it .92 of an inch. The total rainfall for the season amounts to 4.51 inches, against 3.92 up to this time last year. While nearly all of this season's rainfall was precipi- tated since Jan. 2 (only .32 of an inch falling previously, on Dec. 15), in October of 1897 (the beginning of last year's season) 1.26 inches of rain fell. This rainfall did absolutely no good, while all the rain that has fallen this year has been beneficial. The season's outlook is all right. A volume of testimonials in itself is Casca Ferrine Bitters. While other preparations are being heralded as being great cure-alls, Casca Ferrine quietly, modestly, but most effectively gets in its work in line with the purpose for which it was created. It renovates and builds up while regulating the system. There is no other remedy just as good. F. E. Frantz, treasurer of the Lutz Co., was over from Santa Ana yesterday and made a trip out to Los Alamitos. Mr. Frantz informs us that Mr. Smeltzer is securing $1 50 a dozen bunches for celery in Kansas City, that gentleman having established a corner on the vegetable. Inasmuch as the celery cost him, at $100 per acre, about 13 cents a dozen, it will be seen that he is making quite a nice profit. Some of the celery was bought as high as $130 per acre, yet Mr. Smeltzer will nevertheless come out more than even on it. Mr. Frantz thinks the rain insures bountiful crops. Scipio Craig of the Redlands Ottograph was in town on Tuesday, and while here inspected the Lee premises on Chartres street, for which he may trade other property, and become an Anaheim landholder. Our old friend grows younger with each year. Time has laid an exceedingly gentle hand upon Scipio. He is the founder of Redlands, and has probably done more for the upbuilding and development of that thriving place than any other man. Scipio is an enthusiastic newspaper man, and wears in the lapel of his coat the button of the National Editorial association—a compositor's "stick" pierced by a editorial quill, encircled by the name of the association. He was with the Southern California association on its visit to Anaheim several years ago, and recalls many pleasant occurrences of his brief sojourn in our city. The report is current over toward San Bernardino that Scip will shy his caster into the ring as a candidate for State Senator from this district, which is composed of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. After a short visit in town, during which he made an examination of the Lee place, he took the 11:14 train for Los Angeles; whence he contemplated leaving for his home on the afternoon train.
