MANY DUCKS AND DECOYS. Myriads of Water Fowl Winging Their Flight to the Bolsa Shooting Grounds. George and Charles Bauer made a trip on Sunday to the Bolsa gun club's grounds to deliver 28 pairs of hinges to be used on the automatic gates for shutting off the tide water from the fresh water inside the dam. Charley made the hinges on an order from Contractor Groat. When the gates are put in place the outflow of fresh water will force them open, when the tide is out, and as the tide comes in the sea water will close against them, preventing its entrance into the fresh water lake. The fresh water was running out through the wierway of the dam at the time the boys saw it in rather large volume and with considerable force, which seemed to indicate that the water has a good fall from the lake seaward. Superintendent Schumacher of the club grounds and his son were busy putting the lead balance weights on the decoys, of which there are about 40 dozen, painted in imitation of the feather coloring of the various species of ducks. Mr. Groat was at work on the cement walk being laid around the clubhouse, and men were busy laying the vitrified sewer pipe from the building to the outfall at tide water. Workmen in the building stated that a week or more would probably finish their work. A dozen shooting boxes have been sunk at various points in the marsh land, and as many more will be constructed. There are already quite a number of fire hunting dogs of various breeds in kennels, and probably 30 or more of the "bird" canines will be in service at the height of the shooting season. The gate at the entrance to the grounds is now under lock and key, and it is stated that hereafter persons not connected with the club as members, or their guests or employees, or not coming on business matters, will not be permitted to enter the grounds. The flight of the web-footed birds on Sunday was interesting to behold. The ducks were flying about leisurely in large and small bands. Looking in the direction of the Alamitos ranch house or Anaheim Landing one could see in the distance wavering bunches of specks outlined against the sky, and as the eye kept them in view the objects gradually increased in size as they drew nearer, when there was presented to the sight a flock of the feathered beauties gracefully winging their flight over the clubhouse grounds and down onto the bosom of the fresh water lake. WALNUT SHIPMENTS BEGIN. Tons of Fine Nuts Being Delivered at the Warehouse in the Junction Depot. Walnuts are coming in in wagonloads at the association warehouse in the depot at the Junction. The nuts are being treated by the new process, being dipped for ten seconds into a solution made of 12 pounds of bleaching powder, 12 pounds sal soda and fifty gallons of water. The nuts are bleached perfectly, and the process costs about a third of the old sulphuring method. The new method is likewise much more expeditious, and on Monday afternoon Mr. Hunter had to lay off his force of five men at 3 o'clock, owing to the lack of trays. He immediately gave an order for 100 new trays, and since their receipt work has been progressing nicely during the week. The first carload will be sent out today or tomorrow. The association will ship out about 12 cars. The bulk of the growers are in the association. The Fowler and Nutwood groves southwest of town, which yield about three cars of nuts, are being handled by the owner of the first named place. Besides these three carloads there is probably one other carload, or possibly two, in small lots, out of the association. The association has during the week made sales of nuts at especially fancy figures. Growers who are out of the association will consult their own interests by investigating the matter and finding out where their interests lie. The work of the association is in charge of George A. Hunter, who has as his assistants Fred Spencer, Fred Maurer, Waldo Brown, Ernest Neubauer and George Betz. The nuts are run through the grader, where they are graded into firsts and seconds. From the grader they are taken into receptacles made of wire netting and precipitated into the bleaching solution. They are permitted to remain in the solution for ten seconds. The operator counts twenty slowly while the nuts are immersed, and lifts the nuts and plunges them into clean water. Then they are spread in the sun, the bad nuts picked out and are subsequently placed in trays and wheeled into the warehouse to await sacking. The association members are highly elated over the success of the bleaching process, which was recommended by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley. It is almost instantaneous in its work, bleaches the nuts perfectly and results in a large saving to the grower in decreased cost, as compared with the sulphuring process. THE TURNERS CELEBRATE. A Reception and Banquet at Turner Hall on Saturday Evening to Celebrate Their Victory at the Turn Fest. The reception and banquet given by the Anaheim Turn Verein at Turner Hall on Saturday evening in honor of the victory gained by the singing and active sections of the local Verein at the Los Angeles Turn Fest, was a largely attended and enjoyable affair. During day Mesdames Jos. Backs, A. Freise, Wm. Fischer, F. Steadman, the Misses Kroeger and other ladies were busily engaged in decorating the hall, which presented a handsome appearance. Long strings of pepper leaves were hung from the corners of the hall to the center of the ceiling, from which place flowers were suspended. Bamboo and other evergreens were also tastefully used in decorating the hall. The preparation of many good things for supper was also attended to by these and other ladies. At 8:30 the Anahein band, which had been engaged for the occasion, discoursed several pieces of good music in the street in front of the hall. Crowds of people were gathering to participate in the festivities and congratulate the returning victorious Turners, who, we are informed, made best showing according to their number of any Verein there represented. All except one of our Turners took prizes in field sports. Last year the local Verein took first prize of the Pacific Coast Division of Turners. We feel confident that the Anaheim Turn Verein, if represented at the International Turn Fest, to take place at Philadelphia next year, which it undoubtedly will be, will make a good showing and hold up their reputation as prize winners. By 9 o'clock nearly one hundred guests were present, who partook of the good things prepared for the occasion. After the supper Fred Alborn spoke in behalf of the boys and their victorious achievements, and thanked the ladies in particular for the kind services they had rendered to make the affair a success. Mr. Alborn then introduced Richard Melrose, who favored the guests with an address, speaking of the original Turners' organization here in 1871, of which he was made president. The Turners had in those early days become very proficient in apparatus turning and other exercises, so much so, in fact, that they were never asked to compete with any other organization of Turners. His address was greatly appreciated by those present, and was loudly applauded. The singing section which has gained It is stated that there are persons connected with the club as members, or their guests or employees, or those not coming on business matters, will not be permitted to enter the grounds. The flight of the web-footed birds on Sunday was interesting to behold. The ducks were flying about leisurely in large and small bands. Looking in the direction of the Alamitos ranch house or Anaheim Landing one could see in the distance wavering bunches of specks outlined against the sky, and as the eye kept them in view the objects gradually increased in size as they drew nearer, when there was presented to the sight a flock of the feathered beauties gracefully winging their flight over the clubhouse grounds and down onto the bosom of the fresh water lake. All day from the northwest and southeast ducks traveled to and fro in their flight from the shooting grounds along the coast of the different counties to escape the havoc which "the man with the gun" thought of inflicting among them. The boys report that they were favorably impressed with the clubhouse, the dam and the various improvements under way, having read and heard of an organization known as the Bolsa gun club and its effort to create an ideal hunting preserve and the accessories. Moreover, they are under the impression that the promoters of the club must be in excellent financial circumstances to be able to "throw money at the birds," as evidenced by the prodigality with which their property is being transformed into a scene of marine beauty. BUENA PARK. New houses and new barns, with brand new paint, and old barns with preservative paint. Taylor & Sargent have been putting elastic cement roof paint on some barns in this vicinity. It is a good thing. R. Lovett is preparing a fine home place on Canadian avenue. Mr. Miller moved to Westminster on Monday. Mr. Lovett begins his improvements at once. The Farmers' club give their first open meeting Thursday evening at the Congregational church. Some fine papers and good music will be the attraction. The Smith family have postponed their appearance till next Tuesday evening at Foresters' hall. The W. C. T. U. meeting of last Saturday was a most delightful affair, and was an instructive as well as social event. Luncheon was served at noon and heartily enjoyed. Mrs. Griffith's talks Saturday and Sunday evening were very entertaining. Miss Dawes of Santa Ana gave illustrations of her art of physical culture. Her lecture was interesting. The rain has enthused the farmers in this vicinity, and they are beginning the winter work with zest. A Fool Correspondent. The fool correspondent of the Los Angeles Times must trespass upon our time for another instant. Usually we ignore his misstatements, but the following, which appeared in the Times of Sunday morning last, is so maliciously untrue that it seems to require a word of comment: A bad break on the upper ditch was reported early this morning, and all supply of water was shut off. It is not probable that water will run in the ditch before tomorrow. The break was caused by the heavy rush of water from the mountains following the rains of the week. While about 2 inches fell here, tully 6 inches is reported from the mountain districts. Besides the big break a number of smaller ones are reported to have occurred. COTILLION AND BALL. "Some of the Boys" Enjaintain Their Friends at the Del Campo on Friday Evening. The cotillion and dance given by "Some of the Boys" at the Del Campo hotel last Friday evening was largely attended, considering the downpour during the fore part of the day, which threatened to keep away many of the prospective participants. During the afternoon it cleared off, making the evening an ideal one for dancing. In decorating it was evident that neither time nor labor had been spared. The hallway leading to the dance floor was lined with palm leaves and potted plants, with settees placed at intervals, affording comfortable resting places for the dancers during intermissions. Over the entrance to the hall were arched two date palm leaves, while inside many more of these, together with fan palms, mirrors, Japanese umbrellas and two large American flags, tastefully arranged, made a pleasing appearance. An are lamp suspended from the center of the ceiling, and numerous incandescentes, the latter enclosed in red shades, tended to make the interior a scene of brilliance. At 8:30 o'clock the guests began to arrive, and about an hour later the orchestra opened the evening's program with music for the grand march. Six numbers were danced when the cotillion was announced, led by Fred Lewis. The favor tables were presided over by Mrs. Melrose and Mrs. Cahen. The first figure was the net drill. Ten gentlemen were given a tennis net, to which were attached ten rackets, five on each side. With these net was raised so as to permit the ladies to pass under, winding their way in and out among the gentlemen. The scarf drill consisted of sixteen couples, each with a colored scarf. Four couples formed themselves as in a square dance, while behind each of these three more took their position. The center set circled around until a given signal, when they passed to the rear of the opposite side under an arch of scarfs. In the tennis figure the ladies were placed at one end of the hall, each with a ball and racket. The balls were served to the gentlemen at the other corner. The fool correspondent of the Los Angeles Times must trespass upon our time for another instant. Usually we ignore his misstatements, but the following, which appeared in the Times of Sunday morning last, is so maliciously untrue that it seems to require a word of comment: A bad break on the upper ditch was reported early this morning, and all supply of water was shut off. It is not probable that water will run in the ditch before tomorrow. The break was caused by the heavy rush of water from the mountains following the rains of the week. While about 2 inches fell here, fully 6 inches is reported from the mountain districts. Besides the big break a number of smaller ones are reported to have occurred. Supt. Sheppard of the water company came in on Tuesday to say there was absolutely no truth whatever in this story. No "bad break" had occurred on the upper ditch, nor any kind of a break, and the supply of water was not shut off; nor had there been a number of smaller breaks in any of the ditches. The Times correspondent seems to be composed of equal parts of imbecility and cussedness, with possibly the latter predominating! It is a shame that the Times should permit him so persistently to misrepresent affairs in this community. Gen. Otis must know of his character; let the responsibility for his utterances be placed upon him. Mr. Sheppard says the only break in the ditch that he was aware of (and he had only learned of it within a few days, although it had continued in existence for ten years) was the secret pipe line with which Erwin Barr tapped the main Anaheim ditch near the cemetery. Mr. Sheppard stated that he would remove the pipe on Tuesday afternoon last. A Bargain. New piano, used only three months; purchased from parties going East; will be sold for only $175.

U. S. S. PENSACOLA, SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I am still on board the U. S. S. Pensacola. I am well and hope this will find you the same. I see by your last issue that folks are all looking for rain. It was raining here all day yesterday and today. Your rain is to come yet. I see you are having fine band playing. I wish I was there to take it in. "What's the matter with the man who had the bass horn?" I am waiting for my time to come to see the old town again.

His many friends have been greatly encouraged by the favorable reports, and will hope that he may yet be successful in regaining his health. A. H. Gregg of Whittier, brother of James Gregg who was killed by Henry and Luther Hungerford in Santiago canyon in June, was in town on Friday and Saturday collecting evidence for prosecution. The trial of the Hungerfords began in the Superior Court on Monday, and will probably be continued until the end of the week. Mr. Gregg is an employee of the Whittier canny. William Harper who lives at the Del Campo hotel suffered the breaking of his right arm on Friday evening last, the 13th, by being kicked by a horse belonging to Mr. Carver. He went into the stable to harness the horse, when it kicked him, striking him in the forearm and fracturing the bone midway between elbow and wrist. Mr. Harper considers the 13th an unlucky day of the month for him. He broke a finger on that date some time ago, his wife broke her leg at the canney on the 13th, some months ago, and various other misfortunes have come upon him on that date. Harry Whitaker and L. Bressel were in town on Friday to invoke the majesty of the law against a Russian named Swartzbaugh who was said to be making preparations to skip the country, leaving behind him an indebtedness of $200 to Bressel. Bressel is also security on a note given by Swartzbaugh to the Griffith lumber company in the amount of $300, making his loss $500. For some days Swartzbaugh has made preparations to leave the country. He shipped his household goods to British Columbia, and Mr. Whitaker, who accompanied Bressel to assist him in securing justice, said Swartzbaugh was to leave on Saturday morning. He left. Coroner Clark was in town on Wednesday afternoon last, on his way home from Santa Ana, where he held an inquiry upon the body of Francisco Trejillo, a Mexican, about 75 years of age, who was found dead the preceding day by David Yorba in the river bottom three-quarters of a mile from the Perla schoolhouse. From the testimony of neighbors the deceased was probably a victim of heart trouble. He was seen on Monday, and at that time complained of severe pains in his chest. It is supposed he was seized with an attack of heart paralysis while crossing the river bottom and was unable to reach home. So far as known he had no relatives and left no property. The jury returned a verdict that his death was due to natural causes. Richard Schellens, who has a very promising vineyard at his place on Santa Ana street, is a close observer of the effects of the vine disease, which wiped out the vines in Southern California a dozen years ago. Although he never made any such statement, he did say that he had not been proached with a bribe by any other contractors, and he authorizes use say he never used the language attributed to him by the Orange paper... The average daily attendance is not up to the number attending last term by about 20. A number of children are engaged in picking walnuts, and for various causes others are out of school. The case of Luther Hungerford, charged with the murder of James Gregg on June 10th, is on trial before Superior Judge Ballard this week, having begun on Monday. Hungerford and his brother Henry shot and killed Gregg at their home in Santiago canyon after an exciting battle at short range with shotguns. The Hungerfords will endeavor to prove self-defense or justifiable homicide, while Gregg's brother, who is taking an active interest in the case, states the prosecution will have no difficulty in proving the murder to have been cold-blooded and deliberate. The following jury has been secured to try the case: E. P. Bingham, James M. Chrisman, G.W. Stevens, J.H. Enearall, J.E. Pleasants, H.A. Peabody, A.S. Bradford, C.H.King, G.H. Clark, J.R. McCloud, W.M. Harvey and W.A. Jackson. A number of Anaheim people go over today to give evidence in the case. The City band, under the leadership of J.W. Whann, will give another open-air concert this evening at the bandstand in Planters' Park, to which the public are cordially invited. This will be the last Thursday evening concert for the season, the cool evenings making it uncomfortable to be out late. The following program will be rendered: "Fairmount" "Durand" "Edina Polka" "Daniel" "Don Juan," March "Laurendeau" "The Dandy Fifth" "Devlin" "Wont You Be My Baby" "Verner" "Institute March" "Seitz" "Waiting for You, Sweetheart" "Selmser" "Trans-Mississippi Exposition" "Southwell" "Aunt Chloe's Cakewalk" "Miller" "Jack Klinger" On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5th, the band will give a sacred concert at the bandstand, when Durand's grand religious fantasia will be rendered. The band may have an open-air concert on the afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 29th, further announcement of which will be made in our next issue. This evening's concert will be the last of the popular summer evening's concerts, and doubtless a large concourse of people will be out to hear the music.

Although the disease has long since run its course, there are yet some lingering traces of it, and occasionally one comes across a vine that exhibits indications of the blight. Mr. Schellens has noticed a number of apparently diseased vines throughout the valley, and for the purpose of further informing himself upon the subject, will have a conference with Prof. Pierce, the Government Entomologist at Santa Ana, who was sent to Orange county from Washington to study the causes and the nature of the disease. He is in receipt of German reports which state that a disease similar to the blight prevailing here destroyed many of the vines in the Fatherland some twenty-five years ago. This he will submit to Prof. Pierce, and perhaps the Professor may be able to gather valuable information therefrom. The Misses Barnes of Pittsburg, old-time friends of Judge and Mrs. Shanley, arrived on Saturday morning from their home in the East, and will remain for a protracted stay. Mrs. Shanley went to Pasadena to meet them, and succeeded in giving them a very happy as well as complete surprise. One of the ladies is not in very good health, and she had to be carried off the train by the porter. She has not recovered from the effects of a difficult surgical operation sustained seven years ago, but it is believed that in the salubrious climate of Southern California she will improve in strength and be finally restored to health entirely. "How long will the ladies remain?" asked the reporter. "Oh, a year anyway," replied his Honor, "and maybe two or three." That's the kind of hosts the Judge and his wife are. We trust the ladies will have a pleasant stay, and that the one invalidated may be so benefited by the balmy climate that she may be privileged soon to look forward to the time when she will be entirely restored to her health. Mr. Potter says the investigation will be pressed to the utmost and the guilty parties brought to justice. The statement in the Orange News, to the effect that "Mr. Potter stated he had not at any time nor any one been approached with a bribery until that hour did not know that any such charge had been made," pronounces altogether unfounded. He never made any such statement. did say that he had not been proached with a bribe by any other contractors, and he authorizes us say he never used the language attributed to him by the Orange paper. Henry Boege, keeper of the San Joaquin shooting grounds, rode up on bicycle yesterday, a distance of miles.
