DID NEWBERRY GET IT? NIT! Supervisors Execute Another Straddle on the Horticultural Commissioner Business—Meanwhile Huntington Holds the Fort. The Board of Supervisors on Monday performed a not ineligible straddle of the contemplated removal of L. Z. Huntington, Horticultural Commissioner of this district; they laid the petition asking for his dismissal upon the table, thereby taking negative cognizance of the counter-petition signed by eighty-eight fruit growers and taxpayers protesting against his removal and asking that he be retained in office. It seems that the law stipulates that when a petition signed by twenty-five fruit growers and taxpayers is presented to the Supervisors asking for the removal of any Horticultural Commissioner, that officer may be removed without further objection.* The petition circulated against Huntington some two weeks ago was signed by twenty-five citizens. Of these, however, three rescinded their signatures immediately upon understanding the covert attack upon a conscientious public official, and affixed their names to the counter petition. Three of the remaining signers, it transpires, are not taxpayers, and a fourth admits his signature was obtained by misrepresentation. Here are seven names, six of which should be stricken from the ouster petition. This would leave the petition bearing nineteen names, not a sufficient number to comply with the requirements of the law. However, the evident intention of Supervisor Potter to remove Huntington, if the same could be done without exciting the protest of the fruit growers of this district, was sufficient to override this little defect, and the same was not pointed out to the attention of the board. When the matter was called by the Supervisors on Monday last, Chairman Nickey asked if there was any one present to prefer charges against Huntington. There was no such person present. No one arose to say a word against the official who was charged with the heinous offense of "bringing in too big bills against the county." After a moment's pause the chairman asked whether any one present desired to say a word in favor of Huntington. A. H. Cargill arose and said that in When the matter was called by the Supervisors on Monday last, Chairman Nickey asked if there was any one present to prefer charges against Huntington. There was no such person present. No one arose to say a word against the official who was charged with the heinous offense of "bringing in too big bills against the county." After a moment's pause the chairman asked whether any one present desired to say a word in favor of Huntington. A. H. Cargill arose and said that inasmuch as no specific charges had been made against Huntington, it was difficult for his friends to understand what objections were being entertained by the board against him. Supervisor Nickey stated the charge against Huntington, while none was pointed out in the petition circulated against him, was understood by the board to be that he was too thrifty—that his bills against the county were too high. Mr. Huntington here stated that he was chosen to the office for the purpose of protecting the horticulturists of this district. This task he had endeavored conscientiously to fulfill. He had fulfilled the duties of the office to the best of his ability, and had not charged the county for a dollar's worth of work that had not been performed. He was ready to meet his accusers and find out what crime he had committed. J. B. Neff stated, as a preliminary to other remarks to follow later, that when he lived in San Francisco, some ten years ago, there was absolutely no sale for oranges coming from this county. They were scale-infested and inferior; whereas now the fruit sells with the best grown in Southern California. Much of the credit for this very acceptable change of affairs was due to the work of the Horticultural Commissioners, of which Huntington's labors were no small part. Alex Henry asked to be heard, and spoke earnestly in defense of Huntington and the law governing the Horticultural Commissioners. He had seen in the report of last week's proceedings, as published in this paper, that one of the Supervisors (Mr. Nickey) had stated that the law was a poor one: that the expense of the Horticultural Commission should be borne by the tree growers. He took exception to this view of the case. Suppose, he said, a case of smallpox was reported to the health authorities. The case would be isolated, and the patient treated to the end that he might recover. The machinery of the health department, which is supported by the people, would be exerted to the utmost to prevent the malady from spreading; and in many cases the patients were cared for at public charge. The scale question was in large part a parallel case. It must be kept in check, or the horticultural interests will suffer annihilation. He added that he regarded Huntington's efforts in destroying scale as being in large part the cause of the clean fruit now being raised in his district. Supervisor Potter said that the objection to Huntington was on account of his bills against the county. He knew of cases where Huntington had gone and told orchardists they had scale on their trees when the growers were perfectly aware of the presence of the bugs. For this service Huntington had charged the county $4. This objection to Huntington was not of his own choosing; it had been going on for years. Personally he entertained for Huntington a high regard; but he (Potter) had not politically supported him. Supervisor Potter, evidently somewhat nettled, observed that he was a taxpayer, too; and probably paid as much taxes as Mr. Neff. The latter gentleman laughingly responded that perhaps that was so; that perhaps Potter paid a whole lot more taxes than he (Neff) did, but that did not affect Huntington's case a particle. A 2x9 pall of silence here fell upon the deliberations of the board. It was broken only by Supervisor Larter settling back in his chair, and by Supervisor Snover scratching his thick auburn chin whiskers. Supervisor Pixley broke the stillness by saying the statement had been made that Supervisor Potter was making a personal fight against Huntington. This he knew was a mistake. He felt that Potter had nothing but the best interests of the people of the county at heart. Therefore, in view of the fact that it appeared that no definite conclusion could be arrived at, at this meeting, he moved that the petition asking for Huntington's removal be laid on the table. Supervisor Potter—I second the motion. This was a very little hole for the board to crawl through, in view of all the facts—the two petitions filed in the case, the arguments made in favor of Huntington, and the lack of merit of the case against him. But what do you think the board did? It was a very little hole for them to crawl through — but they crawled through it, every last dog-goned one of them! And Newberry didn't get the job! Board of Audit The report of the Board of Audit will not be ready for publication for some days yet. The work is practically completed, and is now in the hands of C. E. Holcomb, who is arranging some of the tabulated statements. Mr. Holcomb was unable, owing to the many demands upon his time, to be present with the auditing committee during much of the time of its laborious research into the books and papers of the water company, and a good part of the work devolved upon Mr. Teale and Mr. Hunter, who have labored unceasingly in order to have the report issued in time. Mr. Teale's abilities as an expert accountant served the committee well, and the report will be found to go into details more fully than ever before. This fact, added to the largely increased business of the company during the past year, accounts for the lateness of the appearance of the report. Northern Early Rose seed potatoes at Wm. Boyd & Son's. Rabbit Hunt A number of the mighty nimrods of the neighborhood engaged in a rabbit hunt on Sunday. They gathered at the old bridge across the river south of missioner and the supporter in the neighborhood in his work of fumigating the orchard, which was one of the foulest in the county—a menace to every grower in the neighborhood. Mr. Neff extolled the work of Huntington highly, and said that a great mistake would be made if he were removed from office, especially upon such a films pretext as that contained in the petition circulated against him. The taxpayers of the district affixed their signatures to the petition asking that he be retained as Horticultural Commissioner; and that, he thought, ought to be sufficient reason for his retention, apart from the other reasons that had been brought forth in his behalf. Supervisor Potter, evidently somewhat nettled, observed that he was a taxpayer, too; and probably paid as much taxes as Mr. Neff. The latter gentleman laughingly responded that perhaps that was so; that perhaps Potter paid a whole lot more taxes than he (Neff) did, but that did not affect Huntington's case a particle. A 2x9 pall of silence here fell upon the deliberations of the board. It was broken only by Supervisor Larter settling back in his chair, and by Supervisor Snover scratching his thick auburn chin whiskers.

He knew of cases where Huntington had gone and told orchardists they had scale on their trees when the growers were perfectly aware of the presence of the bugs. For this service Huntington had charged the county $4. This objection to Huntington was not of his own choosing; it had been going on for years. Personally he entertained for Huntington a high regard; but he (Potter) had not been elected Supervisor to do politics in his district, but to carry out the wishes of the citizens and taxpayers irrespective of political affairs. Alex Henry said he had never heard of politics being connected with the case. So far as this man's politics is concerned (laying his hand on Huntington), he is a hard-shell Republican, and I am a hard-shell Democrat. But it is not on account of his politics that I support him; it is because he is a good officer, and has the support of every tree grower in his neighborhood. Mr. Cargill stated that it was certainly a very curious thing that if these charges against Huntington had been in existence for four years, he (Cargill) had never heard of them. Huntington was said to drive a slow horse, and was said to spend a good deal of his time in "gassing" with orchardists. The speaker did not know but Huntington might drive a faster horse, but he was certain that Huntington never "gassed" at his house. Huntington had come to his orchard on several occasions, at times at his (Cargill's) solicitation, and sometimes of his own volition. He went with him at once to the orchard and got to business. The speaker said he had three years ago found purple scale in his trees, and only by the most vigorous fumigation, which was done under the supervision of Huntington and the other Commissioners, was it possible for him to say today that there was not an infested tree in his orchard. This one thing alone was in his opinion worth more to the horticultural interests of the county than all the bills Huntington had put in against the county. Mr. Cargill referred to the large territorial area of Huntington's district, and the fact that the Horticultural Commissioners themselves said that ten orders for fumigation had to be issued in this district to one in both the others combined. The Tustin district was said to be clean. He congratulated the district thereat. The Tustin district was evidently composed of thoughtful and enterprising tree growers. We had a different kind of people in this district, Northern Early Rose seed potatoes at Wm. Boyd & Son's. Rabbit Hunt A number of the mighty nimrods of the neighborhood engaged in a rabbit hunt on Sunday. They gathered at the old bridge across the river south of town, and worked their way around in the cactus country to Richfield. Returning, lunch was partaken of in the wash near Crowther's. Eighty-eight rabbits were gathered to their fathers, killed by the following hunters in the following numbers: Ed Kraemer, 16; H. Bundy, 8; R. Wisser, 7; Rud Bentz, 7; F. Steadman, 5; F. Arnold, 5; T. Walters, 5; H. Stern, 4; F. Stone, 4; H. Oelkers, 4; C. Fay, 3; F. Ahlborn, 3; Victor Schumacher, 3; Henry Boege, 3; Dr. Houck, 3; J. Streicher, 3; R. Hunter, 2; F. W. Fleischmann, 2; H.C. Gade, 1. Billy Freise was a member of the party, but the rabbits, realizing the superiority of his shooting, kept out of his way, and he failed to land any. Ah, there, Billy! Roman Wisser and F.W.Fleischmann furnished the lunch, which was partaken of with peculiar relish. The boys contemplate a coyote hunt in the willows near the river south of town in the near future. Belgian Hare Feast. The Santa Fe Route will sell tickets to Los Angeles and return on account of the Belgian Hare Exhibit, Mart and Feast to be held in Los Angeles, Feb. 8, 9 and 10, good to return up to and including Feb. 11, 1900, at the low rate of $1.10 for the round trip. This will be your chance to see this great Belgian hare show cheap. Remember, the Santa Fe Route makes this special low rate. feb 1-1t The Anaheim cannery club will give an opening dance at Grimshaw's packing house tonight (Thursday).

Milk Condenser Gives Employment to Many, and Distributes Many a Dollar Among the Farmers. Due to its name, Buena Park is one prettiest, if not the prettiest, village in Orange county. Approaching from the south, one would fancy it, but at the base of the foothills, but fact is, that Buena Park lays all points of the compass tributary to picturesque beauty, for no matter you reach the Park there is ampleance along the road that you are sure to some place worth "hitching at."

No equate description has ever yet been given of this enterprise which has been right with so much solid good to the farmers within a radius of ten miles and it. The great secret of the success of the condenser is its stability—the sound commercial basis on which it is run—which is simply another way of saying its manager, C. F. Bixby, is a genius in whom all who know him have limited confidence. Apart from all business capacities, to quote the Lord Tennyson, We years without abuse the grand old name of gentleman."

In the slackest season of the year 45-, pounds of milk are daily delivered to the condenser; and the checks are paid punctually on the 15th of every month. Every dairyman knows that element of butter fat—in other its blessing, not only to Buena Park, but to the whole dairy interests within twenty miles around it, for it goes without saying that the creameries, in order to hold their patrons, must keep in touch with the prices paid for milk by the condenser. BUENA PARK. John Bowen who has been critically ill from blood poisoning caused from a scratch on his hand by barbed wire is out of danger and is rapidly recovering under the skillful treatment of Dr. E. C. Hasson. Horace Overton and Walter Bowen are nearly recovered from typhoid fever. The latter has suffered from a relapse, but is on the way to health. Mrs. J. W. Roller was called to Los Angeles last week by the illness of her son Otto's wife. She will remain for a long visit. Governor Whitaker's house is progressing rapidly. He expects to be in it by the middle of March. It is a very pretty style of architecture, and will be a fine addition to the Park. Mr. Bobst will build in the near future. He has bought property on Tenth street. The Farmers' Club is alive to the interests of this little burg and is devising ways and means for improving the streets and sidewalks. It is branched off into an improvement society and the result of the united efforts of the club and citizens will soon show in the appearance of the town. It is earnestly hoped that every citizen will take an interest in the work and lend a hand as well as voice in beautifying the homes, as well as streets. Mr. John Wright has just had a birthday, and to see him at work or driving his spirited horses, one would scarcely say he was within one of 80 years. He is surely good for another score of years. We extend our hand and say live long and be happy. Mrs. Hasson gave an informal party last Friday evening, her son Ray being at home from the Los Angeles university for a short vacation. It was an enjoyable affair. On Tuesday evening occurred the annual meeting of the Congregational church at the parsonage. The reports of the past year were given with very gratifying results. The year of the church society closes out of debt. The officers were re-elected, with the exception of Sunday School superintendent. Mr. Tanner was obliged to resign. Mrs. R. R. Morgan was elected to fill his place. The same evening the L. M. A. S. had an "experience meeting." The result was $20 from as many ladies, who gave their experience in poetry of Hleinigkeiten. —The Chinese have been celebrating their New Year. —There will be a meeting of St. Michael's Guild this (Thursday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. Daniel Hamilton. —The city election occurs April 2d.

Federman & Co. are offering. Read their ad and then call and see what great bargains this old-established house is offering. —The Farmers' club meet at Mrs. Langenberger's residence on Monday afternoon next, beginning at 2 o'clock. A full attendance of members is urged, as business of importance will come before the meeting. —The Christian Endeavor will give a parlor entertainment at the home of Rev. Stone tomorrow (Friday) evening. The married men of the church will give the entertainment and furnish the refreshments. The public are invited to attend. —The Board of Supervisors has taken steps toward opening a new public highway in Buena Park road district which was petitioned for by C. M. Lathrop and others. The board appointed J. W. McKinney, Conrad Webber and County Surveyor Finley as viewers of the proposed new highway. Fritz Gruenemay sustained a painful accident at the brewery a few days ago while harnessing a horse. He broke the third and fourth fingers of his right hand. The hand immediately became swollen, and the physicians were unable to set the broken bones until the swelling subsided. He is now carrying his hand in a sling, and will be minus the use of it for some weeks. —Fountain Valley district will shortly call an election to bond the district for $2500 to raise money to build an addition to its schoolhouse.

In the slackest season of the year 45,- pounds of milk are daily delivered to the condenser; and the checks are punctually on the 15th of every month. Every dairyman knows that the element of butter fat—in other words, the test which his milk records enters largely into the figures of his stock, and in connection with this the writer of this article simply asks the question, Are the farmers "talking through their hats" when they tell him that milk that tested 4.2 at the creamers now tests 6.2 at the condenser? The general public are not admitted through the various departments of the condenser, but my old friend Charlie Landell said he did not look on me in the light of the ordinary cuss who tried interview the plant in the interests of the creameries, so I had carte banche through all the departments. Captain Landell is the master mind of the condensing department, and by way contrast with his brother Charlie is disciplinarian. In all the intricacies his department, which is the most important in connection with the condensing process, there is not an item escapes his eye. Charlie Landell is boss of the testing department, and in this particular department no grounds have ever been given for the slightest complaint, at least not since the Bixbys came into control of the condenser, and the Babock testing apparatus was placed in control of Charlie. J. L. Johnston is one efficient shipping clerk, and the fully output of the condenser keeps him on the jump." His consignments are for the most part shipped to the towns of the Pacific slope from San Diego to Oregon, and of late years large shipments have been consigned to Alaska. E. D. Lent is superintendent of the machinery, and the various machines and labor-saving devices of the condenser would need a whole column to do them justice. Some of them actually seem to be gifted with intelligence almost human. In the twinkling of an eye a piece of tin of the required size is introduced to a trifling looking piece of machinery, and in another twinkling of an eye, a pint can be turned out perfect in every detail and ready for the well-known label, the "Lily Brand," so familiar not only in the mining camps but in many a home in California. The large test house a little to south of the condenser is a long, low and far from an imposing looking structure. It is built entirely of sheet iron, and the object of the iron element in the structure is to attract all the heat possible, so that the millions of cans of newly-made condensed milk with which the building is filled may be put to a crucial test, in order to determine any flaw either in the milk itself or in the can that holds it. No sooner have the two young ladies in charge of the tap filled and sealed the cans than they are hurried off to the test house and piled tier on tier from floor to ceiling. Here they remain for about nine or ten weeks, when they are subjected to a minute examination, and the cans suspected of "bloating" or of failing to keep are rejected and sold to the patrons at 25 cents for 144, as feed for calves and chickens. These "bloaters" serve the same purpose with the farmer as the skim milk returned last Friday evening, her son Kay being at home from the Los Angeles university for a short vacation. It was an enjoyable affair. On Tuesday evening occurred the annual meeting of the Congregational church at the parsonage. The reports of the past year were given with very gratifying results. The year of the church society closes out of debt. The officers were re-elected, with the exception of Sunday School superintendant. Mr. Tanner was obliged to resign. Mrs. R. R. Morgan was elected to fill his place. The same evening the L. M. A.S. had an "experience meeting." The result was $20 from as many ladies, who gave their experience in poetry of "how they earned their dollar." It was very amusing as well as interesting. Refreshments were served, and the whole affair was a decided success. Rev. Smith of San Francisco will occupy the pulpit of the Congregational church for the month of February, while Mr. Morgan takes a much-needed rest. Cards were received at the Park on Friday announcing the marriage of Robert Walter Brydon and Edith Gertrude Young on January 25th at Los Angeles; a very fitting union of two of Buena Park's former young people, both of them favorites. They receive the hearty congratulations of their many friends. The happy couple will be "at home" first and third Thursdays after March 1st. 1519 South Hill street, Los Angeles. Church Concert The following program will be rendered in the German M. E. church, on Tuesday evening, February 6th, under the auspices of the Epworth League: Male Quartette, "Mache Dich Auf"...

Guth is presiding elder of California German conference, and is renowned the state over for his ability as a lecturer. Mrs. Rosalie Kraus has for several years been choir director and pipe-organist of the First German M.E. church of Los Angeles. She is better known in Anaheim as a music teacher, having a large class of vocal and instrumental pupils here and at Fullerton. The male quartette does very good work. Professor Nebelung needs no introduction to the public, and Mr. Schwenkert with his flute is a whole attraction himself. The lecture will be in German, but after the concert is over an opportunity will be given those who cannot understand German to have it delivered in English if they so desire. Oyster Supper. Geo. B. Bixby of Villa Park sends the following kind invitation to the members of the Anaheim Farmers' club: "The Villa Park Horticultural club cordially invites a delegation from the Anaheim club to attend an oyster supper to be given February 10th, in new barn of A.D.

The law provides that all voters whose names are upon the Great Register, and who are still residents of the precinct, may vote at the election without further registration; but voters who have not yet been registered must register 25 days before the election. Consequently all voters who have not yet registered must register by March 8th. Judge Shanley's office is now open for registration purposes, and all new voters should make it a point to see him and get their names upon the register. — We acknowledge the receipt of a bulletin issued by A.S.

He was released from San Quentin December 5, 1898, and for some months resided in the Fountain Valley district, where he became acquainted with Leona Kutzner, a seventeen-year-old girl. This acquaintancehips ripened into a mad infatuation on the part of her girl, despite the warnings of her friends of the character of her man. Last week she two went to Santa Ana and Welch procured a marriage license by swearing that Miss Kutzner was lawful age. The ceremony was performed by Rev.Bateman, and Mr., Mrs.Welch disappeared. The most active endeavors to locate them have since been unavailing. The father of her girl refused Welch admission to his house, and wrote to San Quentin, from which institution he received a reply from Warden Aguirre the day after the wedding, when he learned of the marriage. He immediately swore out a warrant for Welch's arrest on the charge of perjury. Sheriff Laicy wired officers in all directions, but nothing has been heard of the fugitives. — On Tuesday evening of this week while Mrs.E. Prothero and daughter were out driving they discovered a California panther lying in a thicket of small gum trees about 20 yards west of J.B.Neff's place. Several of the neighbors hurriedly gathered among the number Mr. Prothero, who succeeded in killing the animal by a few well directed shots. The panther was one of the largest of his kind and measured five feet eight inches from each pair. — Fountain Valley district will shortly call an election to bond the district for $2500 to raise money to build an addition to its schoolhouse.

No sooner have the two young ladies in charge of the tap filled and sealed the cans than they are hurried off to the test house and piled tier on tier from floor to ceiling. Here they remain for about nine or ten weeks, when they are subjected to a minute examination, and the cans suspected of "bloating" or of failing to keep are rejected and sold to the patrons at 25 cents for 144, as feed for calves and chickens. These "bloaters" serve the same purpose with the farmer as the skim milk returned by the creameries, only that the skim milk has left all its virtue behind it in the creamery vat, whereas the "bloater" is the very essence of cream, one pint tin standing at least four pints of water; it will thus be seen that two "bloaters" will furnish a calf with all the milk necessary for a meal. Mr. Beard, father-in-law to Mr. Bixby, is one of the officials of the concern whose head is worth more than his hands. He takes the record of the weights of more than 1000 cans placed on the scales every morning, and on, or rather before, the 15th of each month, makes a return of the amount of milk delivered to the condenser by each of its patrons. Not once in six months is Mr. Beard charged by the customers of the condenser with a mistake in his intricate department. John Abacherle is the weigh master, who also decides the important point whether the milk delivered at the scales is sweet or sour. John's long nose, trained by long experience, can detect the slightest indications of a sour can at a distance of five rods, and when he detects it he immediately returns it to the fellow who sent it. A can of turned milk may "go" at the creameries, and may not materially affect the butter, but the motto of the condenser is absolute cleanliness—nothing but purity. In connection with this requirement on the part of the condenser, John Kellenberger sets the farmers a forceful example, for the moment a can is emptied into the vat, Mr. Kellenberger catches it and turns a jet of hissing steam through its every crevice, nook and corner, and in the twinkling of an eye the microbes in the can are all dead. For the first few months the market for the output of the condenser has been somewhat slack, but the slackness was only temporary. It is now working to its full capacity, and the more widely its brand is disseminated and placed in competition with condensers on the other side of the Rockies, the fuller will its working capacity grow, and the greater will be The lecture will be in German, but after the concert is over an opportunity will be given those who cannot understand German to have it delivered in English if they so desire.
