ENGINEER BYERS of the city electric light works has announced his intention of resigning at the end of the current month, because of the new rules recently adopted for the government of the power house, and the city will thus lose the services of the best electrical engineer ever in its employ. The rules were adopted as a means of allaying the friction existing between the two men at the power house, and assigned to one the care of the electrical apparatus, while the water works were entrusted into the care of the other. Instead of bringing about a solution of the conditions existing, they operate to deprive the city of the services of a very capable and efficient mechanic. At least one of the applicants for the position (an engineer who was here from Los Angeles during the week) declined to accept the place on learning of the existence of the "rules" giving one engineer one branch of the work and the other branch to the other. So long as the rules continue to exist there will be lack of exertion on the part of either employee to give the city the best results of which the machinery is capable—at least there will not be that incentive to excel were one capable engineer in charge of the works and responsible for the service. Mr. Byers has fulfilled his duties according to his contract entered into with the city a year or more ago; there has been no complaint against him; his understudy at the time of his employment extolled his capabilities as an electrical engineer most highly. He has gone on along the even tenor of his way, keeping the machinery and lamps in the best of condition, and attending to all the needs of the place; the lamps have burned more brightly under his administration than ever before, and the works are pointed out as being the neatest and most perfectly kept of any in Southern California. Suddenly there seems to be objection to him; he is charged with "not treating the other engineer right;" he is charged with leaving the power house "too early in the evening;" and other puerile accusations, that ought to bring about the discharge of the man making them, are brought against him; and a foolish code of rules are adopted of the Anaheim company was most magnanimous. Now, according to this correspondent, "association with the company is detrimental," on account of "the consequent terror it has for newcomers." Does the correspondent suppose that if the northern district separated from the present company, it would go scot free of the debt, while the old company shouldered it all; and how would it be possible for the northern district to get more water in the ditches than there is now? But we hazard the prediction that neither the Times nor its correspondent can find with a fine tooth comb a single stock-holder in the water company who desires to withdraw. On the contrary, there are scores of land-owners with property lying contiguous to the district who are most anxious to be embraced within the bounds of the district; and who will no doubt be included at the proper time. So far from disintegrating, the irrigators of the entire valley are resolved firmly to stand together more solidly than ever before; as witness the conference of a committee from the Santa Ana company with a like committee of the Anaheim co-pany on Saturday afternoon last. The Times has printed many unspeakably absurd as well as vicious thrusts against this community; but never anything so vilely untruthful as this paragraph from its alleged Fullerton correspondent. Printed alongside of the paragraph referred to in the Times of Saturday, is the following, from the same writer, under AnAheim date: ANAHEIM. April 7.—The Southern Pacific is meeting with much resistance in its endeavor to secure right-of-way through the city at its own terms. At first the idea of a railroad depot in the center of town carried things by storm, but since property-owners have had time to think it over they have concluded that they might as well as not have something for the privilege. One condemnation suit was brought this week by the railroad company and will be fought to a finish. The item is written in precisely the same spirit as the other, and is equally false. There are some 46 property-owners on the line of the proposed Southern Pacific route up town, and all of these except six or seven have been amicably settled with. Of those who remain unsettled with there are five non-residents (who live in Los Angeles and Pasadena), and who have not met the right-of-way solicitor in the same liberality of spirit that has characterized the local residents. Only two residenters have refused to come to amicable terms for an easement; against one condemnation proceedings have issued, and the other (who asks in the best of condition, and attending to all the needs of the place; the lamps have burned more brightly under his administration than ever before, and the works are pointed out as being the neatest and most perfectly kept any in Southern California. Suddenly there seems to be objection to him; he is charged with "not treating the other engineer right;" he is charged with leaving the power house "too early in the evening;" and other puerile accusations, that ought to bring about the discharge of the man making them, are brought against him; and a foolish code of rules are adopted by the Trustees, that must be humiliating to him, as they undoubtedly will be found to be to any other capable and right-thinking man. Mr. Byers is relieved by the new code of rules of responsibility so far as the water works are concerned; and for no good reason. He refuses to serve the city further, and has announced the time in which his resignation shall take effect. His services have been snapped up by the General Electric company of San Francisco, whither he goes early next month. Now is not this all a very ridiculous and very unbusiness-like state of affairs? An expert electrician being hounded out of town because he "does not treat a fellow-employee right!" What has Mr. Byers done that he should thus be ridden on a rail out of town? Has any one accused him of incompetency or neglect of duty? Is it not a fact that the lighting service is the best we have ever had, and has not the system gone on expanding under his management? Why, then, the necessity for these ridiculous rules? For whom were they prepared—at whose wish, whose instigation? It is possible that it is not yet too late to rectify this evil—this release of an experienced mechanic for no reason in the world other than that a fellow employee, who recently extolled his capabilities to the skies, has now turned against him. Let the Trustees weigh these matters well before it is too late. Certainly an experienced electrical engineer will not subscribe to the rules now in force. Let a capable engineer be placed in control of the works; let him be permitted to choose his own assistants. Then there will be no further ground for friction, and the city will get the best service thereby. By far the most consummate rot which we have lately seen in print is the following paragraph, which appeared in the Los Angeles Times (a paper noted for the unwarrantable assertions of its correspondents) on Saturday last. The paragraph is printed under a Fulllerton date, but we have it on good authority that it was written by the gentleman who officials as the Times correspondent in this city: FULLERTON, April 7.—Recent development here has brought to the surface a decided feeling favorable to the establishment of the district on its own footing as near as possible. A disadvantage is felt by many influential people because of local association with the Anaheim Union Water Company and agitation for withdrawal from their guild. In company, though it has within the past few years put in many miles of cement ditch in this territory, much more than on the south side. is not in shape to adequately serve the rapidly growing needs of same spirit as the other, and is equally false. There are some 46 property owners on the line of the proposed Southern Pacific route up town, and all of these except six or seven have been amicably settled with. Of those who remain unsettled with there are five non-residents (who live in Los Angeles and Pasadena), and who have not met the right-of-way solicitor in the same liberality of spirit that has characterized the local residents. Only two resident们 have refused to come to amicable terms for an easement; against one condemnation proceedings have issued, and the other (who asks $1200 for right of way in front of a 249 foot city lot, will doubtless be treated similarly. But for these several property-owners, the graders would have been here a fortnight ago; yet they looked for this week, and next week work on securing right of way to Placentia will probably begin. Weather Report. From the U.S. Department of Agriculture, California section, Weather Bureau, San Francisco, April 10: San Luis Obispo county. All crops doing well. Orange trees in bloom at Arroyo Grande. No injury from frost. Feed plentiful. Highest temperature 34 degrees. Usually large acreage of grain in this and adjoining counties. Santa Barbara county.—Grain and grass have grown rapidly during the past week, greatly benefited by warm weather. Ventura county.—Grain is looking well. Fruit in first-class condition, especially apricots. Beet planting in progress. Feed growing rapidly. Los Angeles county.—Temperature above normal, and favorable to all crops. Deciduous fruits advancing rapidly, and a heavy crop is probable. Grain and hay in good condition. Beets are coming up. Citrus fruit trees being irrigated. San Bernardino county.—Weather warm and favorable to grain and fruit. Oranges moving freely. Orange county.—Crops progressing favorably, and fruit is setting well. Late sown barley will need more rain to mature it. Rainfall for season 5-66. Large acreage of beets already planted. San Diego county.—Fruit of all kinds in excellent condition, and will yield a heavy crop. Dense fogs were beneficial. In some parts of the county the soil is becoming very dry, and rain will be needed soon to save grain and feed. Los Angeles summary.—Grain doing well in some sections, rain needed in others; dry winds affected crop. Fruit in excellent condition, but rain needed in some sections to mature crop. Beet planting continues. Eureka summary.—Weather favorable for crops and fruit. Grain and pasturage continue making good growth. Gardening progress finely. If no severe frosts occur fruit will be plentiful. You know that tired feeling is exceedingly disagreeable. What is far better, you may know, by a fair trial, that Hood's Sarsaparilla entirely cures it. Hood's Pills cure nausea,sick headache, billiousness and indigestion. Price 25c. Relio of the Boom. A case was filed in the Superior Court on Saturday that recalls the days of the boom. The action is entitled Robert McFadden vs. the First National Bank, and is brought for the purpose of obtaining a portion of the sale of the McMichael estate. The rendition of the 2d Hung Rhapsodle by Fr Liszt, a very dazzling composition, in such a mastery nor by Mrs Erdman and Prof. T., was an agreeable surprise. FRANZ NEBELUNG Anaheim, April 8. Prof. Nebelung says nothing o In the Los Angeles Times (a paper noted for the unwarrantable assertions of its correspondents) on Saturday last, the paragraph is printed under a Fullerton date, but we have it on good authority that it was written by the gentleman who officiates as the Times' correspondent in this city: FULLERTON, April 7.—Recent development here has brought to the surface a decided feeling favorable to the establishment of the district on its own footing an near-as-sible. A disadvantage is felt by many in influential people because of local association with the Anaheim Union Water Company, and agitation for withdrawal from it has begun. The Union Company, though it has within the past few years put in many miles of cement ditch in this territory, much more than on the south side, is not in shape to adequately serve the rapidly growing needs of the community. Further than this, it is claimed that association with the company is detrimental because of the immense debt carried by it, and the consequent terror it has for new comers. It is possible for the Fullerton district to withdraw from the company, and that is the end toward which work is now being urged. In case of withdrawal this side of the river would be left in better shape than the other. One loses patience dealing with such contemptible utterances. It is indeed strange that the Times should publish such rot. Its splenetic falsity is transparent upon its face. A brief reference to the facts of the case may be useful. The debt of the water company is $150,000, while its water rights are valued at upwards of two million dollars. Much of this indebtedness has been incurred by the construction of new flumes in recent years and in laying many miles of cemented canals and the construction of other betterments. When the Anaheim water company joined with the Cajon company in 1884, the latter company had been for some time past in bad shape financially; it is unnecessary to dwell upon the details at this time, but had it not been for the neighborly act of assistance on the part of the Anaheim company, it is not difficult to foresee the dire train of disasters to follow fast upon the heels of the unfortunate company at that critical period of its existence. All old settlers hereabout are well aware of the fact. The company was acquired by the Anaheim company, ditches, water rights, indebtedness and all, which served to swell the debt of the present company materially. The development of the irrigation facilities of the valley was continued, until the present magnificent system was evolved. The act Relio of the Boom. A case was filed in the Superior Court on Saturday that recalls the days of the boom. The action is entitled Robert McFadden vs. the First National Bank, and is brought for the purpose of obtaining a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the McMichael property in Fountain addition to the town of Fairview. The plaintiff alleges that J. G. McMichael, prior to 1890, purchased lumber of him to the value of $2785 05, which was used in the construction of a residence on the property in controversy; that after the completion of the building a lien was filed on the premises in the Superior Court of Los Angeles county, this county being then a part of Los Angeles county; that after the commencement of the action, and while it was pending, McMichael mortgaged the premises to the First National Bank of Santa Ana in the sum of $3500; that M. M. Crookshank, then cashier of the First National Bank, accepted the mortgage with notice and knowledge of the lien and suit of said plaintiff; that after the plaintiff had discovered the existence of the mortgage an agreement was entered into between the plaintiff and the First National Bank to the effect that the bank should foreclose the mortgage on the premises, and upon a sale of the same to pay the plaintiff two-fifths of the amount received. Plaintiff further alleges that the mortgage was duly closed and the property subsequently sold to George W. Griffin for the sum of $2100; that shortly after the sale the plaintiff made a demand for his share of the same, but that the demand was refused. The court is therefore asked to render judgment to the plaintiff for two-fifths of the amount received in the sale of the premises. The number of advocates of Casca Perrine Bitters is increasing steadily. In fact, each person who uses it promptly joins the throng of enthusiastic testifiers as to its merits and great efficiency in cases of constipation, stomach and bowel troubles, general debility, etc. Its tonic effects are not only wonderful, but it enjoys the distinction of being only tonico laxative known. A gem of the program was thus solo by Mr. Wm. Freise, who is congratulated upon possessing such a splendid voice. The cello solo by Mr. Rice directed his ability as a cellist of marked ability. The rendition of the 2d Hungarian Rhapsodie by Fr. Liszt, a very compositional in such a masterly ner by Mrs. Erdman and Prof. Than was an agreeable surprise. FRANZ NEBELU Anaheim, April 8. Prof. Nebelung says nothing on two original selections performed by piano by himself, but these among the most finished of them gram. He is a gifted composer, fame extends beyond the shores adopted country, and his delicous touch upon the keys brings sounds that charm the enrapture and serve to recall the entertaining pleasureably to many of the large ence in attendance.

Little Program Enjoyed By a Large Audience at the Opera-house Thursday evening last listenance of the most enjoyable vocal instrumental concerts ever given in city. The performance was by the City band, under the leadership of J. W. Whann, and provided the band is making wonderful music as a musical organization. The number was an ambitious sequence from "Normandle," which was performed in good time and excellent quality. It is one of the most difficult songs played by the band, and that it so well speaks volumes not only for the individual players, but for the entire leader as well. Menzel's tuba solo, "Basso Professional," was so enthusiastically applauded that he had to respond to an audience. He was presented with a bouquet of one of his many lady admirers Edith Fay's vocal solo, "For all Myself," (with cello obligato) was fully rendered, and in response to his encouragement, and in response to her encore she gave a plan-ditty. Miss Fay was the recipient of several beautiful bouquets. Bundy's baritone solo, "Perfecte-with band accompaniment," was the most enjoyable numbers, and loudly applauded. Mr. Bundy presented with a bouquet. Franz Nebelung favored the piece with one of his own compositions which met with loud applause, response he gave another origination, performed in his usual bass style. "El Capitain" march, by the was an old favorite which the voice thoroughly appreciated. Freise's vocal solo, "I Love You," with orchestral accompaniment was rendered in good voice, and north enthusiastic applause. He added with "Because I Love You," was also heartily applauded. A full bouquet was handed to him in BUSINESS REVIEW. R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for Marsh in Southern California. The business at distributing points throughout the country during the past month showed quieter tone. Unfavorable weather restricted the movement in merchandise, and affected the retail trade disadvantageously. The excitement in iron and steel is abating, attributed to lack of supplies and no lack of demand. The textile situation remains almost unchanged. Strikes closed several of the largest cotton mills in Providence and Norwich. Wheat has fluctuated in response to contradictory rumors from the spring wheat states. On the whole the price situation remains favorable along the list of staples, while trade measures, as bank clearing statistics, railroad earnings, etc., are most encouraging. In our immediate district the past month has made a complete change in the outlook for farmers and horticulturists. A good rainfall in the lowlands, and heavy snows in the mountains removed the threatening dangers of a dry year. From all sections come satisfying reports. A good crop of hay and farm produce generally is assured, and a fair crop of barley over an unusually large acreage. Fruit buds are setting well and indications point to a fairly full crop. Eastern fruit men prophesy a lively demand and good prices, owing to ravages of late frosts in eastern and southern states. The acreage seeded to sugar beets will probably reach double that of any other year. There will be a good crop of beans, but owing to the holding off of the rain some of the bean land had been seeded to grain. There is great activity in the Peat Lands, with anticipation of the greatest year known. Beemen, except those on the hills, do not expect to harvest much honey. The rain came too late to change in any marked degree their prospects. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS For The Week Ending April 10, 1899. Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana. Newton A.

Judge Ross Gives an Opinion Against the Southern Pacific. An opinion favoring the plaintiff in the case of the United States versus the Southern Pacific railroad company was handed down by Judge Ross of the United States District Court a few days ago. The net result of the decision is to give to the government nearly 610,000 acres of land which has hereof been held and claimed by the railroad company. The United States originally brought three suits against the Southern Pacific railroad company to determine title to the odd numbered sections of land within the twenty and thirty-mile limits of the grant made by the United States, to the Southern Pacific railroad company, through an act of Congress in March, 1871. The disputed land was also situated within twenty miles of the general route of the Texas Pacific railroad. The three suits were combined, and in rendering his opinion the judge determined that the Texas Pacific railroad had made a valid location of its general route, and all lands within twenty-mile limit of that line, amounting to about 610,000 acres, were excepted from the Southern Pacific grants, and that the government is entitled to a Jecree against the Southern Railroad company for those lands. It was further decided that the attempted location of the Texas Pacific Railroad company from Yuma to San Diego via San Gorgonio Pass was not authorized by act of Congress, and as a definite location had never been completed; that lands falling within the limit of that route, and outside of those of the direct route of the Texas Pacific, were granted to the Southern Pacific company and that that company is entitled to a decree for those lands. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters'; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50c., guaranteed, at P. A. Derge's Drug Store. GRANT BROS. GRADERS. From the Chino Champion. Grant Bros. have a force of men and teams at work clearing the sand away from the Southern Pacific track this side of Ontario, so that winds in the future may not drift it over the rails. A LARGE BEET YIELD. From the Chino Champion. The Santa Ana Blade makes the rather rash statement that it is estimated that the beet crop of the Los Alamitos district will amount this year to 500,000 tons; but that 800,000 tons is considered a big crop for that section. As to the latest statement, we think so too. And 800,000 tons will be considered a big crop for the State of California this year—or next year, although it may, and we hope it will, reach 800,000 tons for the State by that time. If the Blade will divide its "estimates" by about 15 it will be nearly right. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard st., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure—"It removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the Universe." So will every one who tries Dr. King's New Discovery for any trouble of the Throat. Chest or Lungs. Price 50c. and $1. Trials free at P. A.
