BRO. LARTER OF THE PEAT. Taken With Colle When the Farmers and Bolsa Chica Land Company are About to Come to an Amicable Understanding. It was evident at Monday's meeting of the Supervisors that Mr. Larter had come prepared to continue the fight between the Peatlanders and the Bolsa Chica Land company. At the meeting held on the preceding Monday a tacit agreement had been arrived at between the parties that the property of the land company would be left out of the district. At that time Mr. Raine, who was one of the four settlers present representing the farmers petitioning for the formation of the drainage district, said: "Form the district. If they (meaning the land company) do not want to come in, leave them out; but form the district." A wide expanse of marshy land belonging to the company had been excluded in view of the provisions of the statutes that no marshy or overflowed or tide land could be included. Mr. Botsford, on being asked at that meeting whether he objected to the inclusion of a tract of some 120 acres of solid land, said he was not prepared to state whether his company would or would not favor being included. Subsequently, at an informal conference between the parties, it was tacitly agreed to that the property of the land company should be excluded, and that the land company should thereupon withdraw all opposition to the formation of the drainage district. The inception of the matter of the formation of the drainage district, it could be heard again at the county seat on Monday, was a purpose to run its outlet through the dam placed across Bolsa Chica channel by the land company. The suit of the Webfeet against the land company to declare the dam a "public nuisance," and its precipitate dismissal out of court by Judge Ballard, are matters of recent history. Long before the case was brought into court, the Peatlanders, foreseeing inevitable defeat, cast about for some other means of attaining their desire for the removal of the dam. The formation of a drainage district was hit upon. The amicable spirit that since the dismissal of the suit had, by the efforts old canal had become too burdensome to the few settlers keeping it up. The canal ought to be cleaned. It was getting foul, and the course of the water through it was seriously interfered with. But there was no intention of injuring the property of the land company; on the contrary, he said, the farmers desired to get along with the company on the most amicable terms. Mr. Cole said as much—not the Cole of the Thwacking Fist. At this point Mr. Raine said: "Form the district. If they do not want to come in, leave them out; but form the district." An informal agreement was thereupon arrived at that the land company's property would all be excluded—marshy, overflowed or tide land and all. At Monday's meeting Clerk Beckett adjusted his spectacles again, and getting the proper focus upon a letter held before him from Attorney Dunn of the land company, read to the effect that the company had agreed to withdraw all opposition to the formation of the district, upon the basis of the agreement arrived at, at the previous meeting of the board. This seemed to simplify matters, and the finish of the fight between the settlers and the land company was in sight; when suddenly Supervisor Larter was seen to be taken with a bad attack of colic in his stomach. He drew forth the map delineating the boundaries of the drainage district. He looked at the wide expanse of marshy land (more than a mile square) that at the previous meeting of the board had been excluded from the district. Then he eyed intently a little stretch of land belonging to the company lying on the verge of the marshy area. The area of this tract was 120 acres. Supervisor Larter declared, as his colic seemed to be getting worse, that it was necessary for the proper formation of the drainage district, that this 120 acres remain within the boundaries. He said he knew the country probably better than any man in the county, and declared the district could not get along without this land. Supervisors Potter and Snover were favorable to the idea of keeping faith with the land company, to the end, at least, of being thus instrumental in bringing about a cessation of hostilities for some time past existing between them. Supervisor Pixley busied himself in inclusion of its property within their drainage district. Numerous private applications for damages alleged to have been sustained have lately been made, and are being made by some of the settlers owning land contiguous to the company's property. These amount in the aggregate to thousands of dollars. It is probable also these will be fought to a finish in the courts. Much depends upon the visit of the Supervisors to the scene of hostilities tomorrow. Either it will be peace and harmony, or it won't. If Larter should fall in the bay, in a place where it is over his head, and could not swim out, the former condition might prevail; if not, it might be different. WHAT WALNUTS BROUGHT.

The suit of the Webfeet against the land company to declare the dam a "public nuisance," and its precipitate dismissal out of court by Judge Ballard, are matters of recent history. Long before the case was brought into court, the Peatlanders, foreseeing inevitable defeat, cast about for some other means of attaining their desire for the removal of the dam. The formation of a drainage district was hit upon. The amicable spirit that since the dismissal of the suit had, by the efforts of the land company and a few of the more enlightened farmers of the Peat, subsisted between the parties, had progressed so far that the land company announced its purpose not to object to or interfere further with the formation of the district. The land company asked as a reciprocal relation that its property be excluded. Supervisor Larter's act of Monday showed him to be anxious to continue the misunderstanding, not to say unfriendliness, between the two parties. As stated in these columns last week, the new drainage district takes the place of the old one, which was some years ago nullified by the decision of the court holding the Drainage act to be unconstitutional. At that time many of the Peatlanders vigorously opposed the formation of the district. They objected to being taxed for its support. Thousands of dollars would be necessary to construct the drainage ditch and the laterals, and the benefits to accrue to each of the settlers were at variance one with the other. So the formation of the district was taken into court and defeated. Thus the matter rested, until last year, when the advent of the Bolsa Chica land company and its erection of a dam across the channel solidified the Peatlanders against it and revived the project of the drainage district. At the time of the Uprising of the Webfeet, some weeks ago, the mouth of Bolsa Chica bay had closed. The dam had no doubt much to do with this, because it had conspired to lower the water in the inner bay. The sweep of the tide water through the channel had kept the mouth open, but when the dock, with its automatic gates keeping out the salt water on the one hand and allowing the escape of the limited volume of sweet water from within, was constructed, the lessening of the volume of tidal water sweeping in and out resulted in the formation of a bar at the mouth of the channel, closing it up. The Peatlanders, led by Cole of the Thwacking Fist, Blatherskite Hazard and Supervisor Larter (who is sore because he cannot shoot ducks on the marshes belonging to the land company, as of yore), arose in indignant protest, declaring their homes and firesides were being endangered. "If this nuisance is not at once abated," quoth Mr. Hazard, "in two years half the people between Westminster and Santa Ana will be dead of the malaria." Here Cole arose and thawed the table.

because he cannot shoot ducks on the marshes belonging to the land company, as of yore), arose in indignant protest, declaring their homes and firesides were being endangered. "If this nuisance is not at once abated," quoth Mr. Hazard, "in two years half the people between Westminster and Santa Ana will be dead of the malaria." Here Cole arose and thwacked the table. Representatives of the land company present at the meeting, speaking with reference to the closing of the mouth of the channel, declared they were then at work upon an artificial channel conducting the water from Bolsa Chica bay into Anaheim bay. This they pledged themselves would drain the waters of the bay perfectly. If not, they promised to remove the dam. Surveyor Finley cast a bombshell into camp by solemnly averring that the water would not run from Bolsa Chica bay into Anaheim bay, because it was uphill! This set the farmers on edge, and Cole arose in his awful might and thwacked the table again. Now, it seems that Mr. Finley was altogether wrong in his conclusions; that it is not uphill from Bolsa Chica to Anaheim bay, and that so far from it being impossible to run water from one bay to another, a splendid stream, estimated as high as 17,000 miners' inches, is flowing, draining the inner bay perfectly. When, therefore, the suit brought to declare the dam a "public nuisance" promised nothing to appease the ferocious appetite of the Thwacking Fist, the proposition to revive the sleeping beauty of the drainage district was set on foot, and everything progressed smoothly up to Monday's meeting, when Larter cast a pebble in the eogs, as it were, which may be the means of again bringing on active hostilities between the belligerents. At the meeting last week Dennis McGirk, who since the annulment of the old drainage district has been one of the few farmers keeping up the drainage canal, disavowed any intention of ruining the property of the land company. The farmers wanted nothing but the formation of the drainage district, he said. They wanted their lands drained. The work of keeping up the ter again, declaring that he did not see how the district could get along without the 120-acre strip belonging to the land company. He moved, after a further all-round parley and powwow, that the petition of the farmers asking for the formation of the drainage district be granted, the lines to exclude the marshy lands of the land company, but to include the 120 acres of land referred to. Supervisor Pixley seconded the motion. Supervisors Potter and Snover, the heavenly twins, voted no. Larter and Pixley voted aye. It was up to Nickey. That gentleman looked up appealingly, threw up his hands in holy horror, uttered a cry like the wailing of a lost soul in Israel, executed a double back somersault, landed on his back, and voted aye. The board earlier in the day voted to go down to the Bolsa Chica tomorrow (Friday), but what good they can do there, now that the drainage district has been formed, on lines marked by bad faith toward the land company, is something we must content ourselves by learning later. Maybe they'll be thrown in the bay! The Peatlanders had won the day. If Dennis McGirk speaks truthfully, the fight between the land company and the farmers will in all probability be settled and called off; if the stories one heard in the crowd, to the effect that the dam would have to "come out"; that no one could ever be convicted if he "blew up the dam," represent the status of the feeling of the farmers toward the land company, the end is not quite yet. Copies of a Santa Ana paper were in evidence containing the following effusion: "The farmers out in the neighborhood of Bolsa and the Dam club are still at variance. The d-d club now talks as though the farmers were really endangering their sport and if they keep it up the Dam club will have to sue them for damages. The farmers should be very careful how they impose upon the sporting club. The club embraces many prominent men who have a vast amount of influence, especially in elections. Now, if the farmers should accidentally drop a few sticks of dynamite under the dam it would make it very disagreeable for the club. Of course, I would not advise such flooded my land with salt water by reason of a dam, and I had no other remedy. I would feel inclined to blow the damned thing up." Our information yesterday was that it was more than probable the land company would resist in the courts the prescription for a man who was a hard of hearing, and when his custom asked him how much it was he replied "Ninety-five cents." "Five cents?" inquired the customer placing his hand to his ear. "Ninety-five cents," replied M with the accent on the ninety. "Five cents?" repeated the man never phased him. "Ninety-five cents!" shouted Mitch top of his voice. "Five cents?" echoed the purchaser complacently, imagining that to be price, and laying down a nickel one counter he proceeded to walk out. "You go to grass," said Mitt, no loudly; however; "I made three o'clock off you anyhow." That story sounds like Mitt, and the Professor says it's so we believe every word of it. When Mitt was put in jail Hunt was thrown in with him. It during the Republican high jinks jollification, and George Wilton came near being thrown in the sea. Yount has for some weeks past camping on the trail of Strange Los Angeles architect who was successful in getting his plans adopted for new Orange county courthouse.

At a meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening Clerk Nebelung reported that he had placed the order for printing the city election ballots with a Los Angeles house. The cost of the complete election supplies he estimated at $25. He had asked a bid also from a San Francisco house, and while it was lower than that of the Los Angeles house he had given the contract to the latter, on account of their nearness and the opportunity it offered of securing the supplies and the sample ballots in time for the election. It will now be in order for our esteemed contemporary to rise up and give vent to a howl at not being given a chance to do this work. Having secured the contract for the printing for a year, why, it may ask, was this fat little job sent off to Los Angeles when it has always been done in Anaheim heretofore? Mr. Dickel of the special committee appointed to interview Mr. Fay relative to deepening the well pit, reported he had seen that gentleman, who was now busy upon the necessary preparatory work. A hole had been bored through the bottom of the well pit and the level of the water noted carefully. Mr. Fay may resolve to pump from the old pit while putting down the new pit, instead of lowering it half at a time. He reported that the valves of the small pump were not in good condition. New valves were ordered. Mr. Dickel stated that he was of the opinion that considerable water was wasted in town, and he moved that the Marshal instruct all water users to see to it that their faucets are tight and leak not. If not repaired forthwith a fine to be imposed and the water shut off. Seconded by Helmsen, and carried. Under the head of new business Mr. Helmsen reported that Herman Stern desired a flat rate for the electric lights in his store. Stern uses four 1200 acres and three 16-candle power incandescent lights. The rate amounted to $16.14. He asked for a rate of $15, but to this Helmsen dissented. Dickel said he would be willing to make the rate $16. Schwenckert asked what Harris & Falkenstein paid. He was informed they paid $25 for three 2000 acres and fifteen incandescent lights.

Stern uses four 1200 arcs and three 16-candle power incandescent lights. The rate amounted to $16.14. He asked for a rate of $15, but to this Helmsen dissented. Dickel said he would be willing to make the rate $16. Schwenckert asked what Harris & Falkenstein paid. He was informed they paid $25 for three 2000 arcs and fifteen incandescent lights. He therefore moved that Stern's rate be fixed at $16. Seconded by Dickel and carried. Clerk Nebelung (sotto voce) to the Mayor—That matter of Gruenemay's saloon license was left over from unfinished business at the last meeting. Mayor Rust—That matter will rest in abeyance until Gruenemay selects a site for his saloon. He has not yet done that, I believe. The Clerk, with a bland smile—There is a petition here protesting against it. The Clerk later read the petition, which stated that the signers entered their solemn protest to granting a license for maintaining a saloon on Los Angeles street, anywhere between Center street and the southern city limits. The petition bore the signatures of J. Swim, L. E. Miller, C. Bruce, T.A.Darling, E.W.Skidmore, S.S.Kidmore, Wm.Konig, Mrs.Barbara Parker, Mrs.Blome, Mrs.J.Newman, Wm.Boyd,Sr., E.P.Fowler, J.P.des Granges, J.Ramella, T.S.Grimshaw. Trustee Schneider thought the petition was all right. "We do not want any saloons in the outside district," he said; "let them be close in town where they may be under police control." Trustee Schwenckert said he was in favor of limiting the number of saloons in town to six, and to increasing the license to $25. We now have eight (Gruenemay's would make nine) and the license is $10 per month. The petition was ordered filed with the application for the license. It seems Gruenemay's plans for the opening of a deadfall near the new S.P.depot has died abnormally. The Clerk read a communication from the Riverside trustees, requesting the pleasure of the attendance of the city board and the fire department at a blowout at Riverside on April 17th. The invitation went on to say that the Los Angeles fire department would send one of their best engines and a chemical engine to be exhibited in a test of putting out fires. The board voted to accept the invitation with thanks. As many of the board as may be able to get away will attend, and probably the hand engine may be taken over to give the Los Angeles boys a run for their money. A little boy here entered the room, bearing a letter which he handed to the Clerk. "What's that?" asked the Mayor, "another protest to the saloon?" "No," replied the Clerk, with a ten-by-six smile; "this is an application for money." Angeles is presiding. The case has continued since Monday of last week, and will probably not be completed until today. The trial of the city plaza case was set for Monday morning, the 26th; but the Hungerford case interfered, and the case has been reset for hearing on April 11th. —the Supervisors on Monday opened four bids for the erection of the new courthouse." The lowest bid was that of McNeill & Blee; for $91,896, the next lowest being that of Murphy & McLennan of Los Angeles, for $95,000. The other bids ranged as high as $108,000. The board rejected the three highest bids, and took McNeill's under advisement. It had intended limiting the price to $85,000, but the raise in the price of material conspires to lift the limit. It is thought likely McNeill's bid will be accepted, and work upon the structure begin at an early date. —the opening of the new millinery store by Miss Hess on Saturday was attended by ladies without number from town and country. Never were such choice confections in millinery on display, so the ladies say, and Miss Hess was the recipient of much commendation for the artistic selection of her stock. The show window, lighted by electricity, as is the store also, makes a handsome appearance, containing as it does, many very fine specimens of millinery. She seems to have "caught on" in good shape, and business continues brisk. We believe millinery stores are things of beauty and a joy forever, and the more of them we have the better. Next to a good wet year, give us a millinery store, and we believe Miss Hess' establishment will go far toward tiding us over the dry year. —Anaheim has now one of the finest watch, clock and jewelry repairers in the United States—Mr.A.Moeller, recently from Philadelphia, who has opened an establishment in the Ruhman block, next door to Hatfield & Staples. Mr.Moeller was for years in the employ of Caldwell & Co., of Philadelphia, where he was known as one of the most expert watch repairers in East. He brings testimonials to that effect. Falling health forced him to leave the rigors of the Eastern climate, and he came west to Colorado, where he found employment with Randall & Co., at Colorado Springs. He was quite successful, building up a large and lucrative practice. A change in firm made him start for California, and on arriving at Los Angeles many openings were offered him. He chose Orange county as the best county in the south, and Anaheim as the best town in the county.* —a suit has been brought by J.E.Valjean vs.Herman Koster of Soquel canyon,and Charlotte Koster,his wife,forges representations E.P.Fowler,the is responsible for the suit.

At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce last week there were presented the details of a proposition to install what will possibly be the largest irrigation system ever attempted on the Pacific Coast. The plan is to reclaim several hundred thousand acres of land in the eastern part of San Diego county and across the line in Mexico. Addresses were delivered by S. W. Ferguson, formerly general manager of the Kern County Land company; George Chaffey, well known throughout this part of the State as the man who founded Ontario and Etiwanda, and L. M. Holt. The speakers were enthusiastic over the scheme, and pointed out the many advantages it possesses over other plans to reclaim arid lands, and the great and permanent benefit the success of their plan would be to Southern California. They asserted that there is an abundant supply of water available; that it could be easily conveyed to the points desired, and, what is more important, the land to be developed could be obtained at such prices and terms as would make it possible for settlers to secure farms at prices within the reach of almost any person. The purpose of laying the matter before the Chamber of Commerce was not that the promoters of the enterprise desire financial backing, but that the business men of the community understand what they propose to do, and have some idea of the magnitude of the enterprise.
