MR. BRADFORD'S WHISKERS. Fail to Show Up at the Water Board Meeting on Saturday—However, Mr. Bradford is Himself Present, Under an Assumed Appearance. Mr. Bradford of the water board showed up at Saturday's meeting minus his fine crop of chin whiskers—or perhaps it is more proper to say that Mr. Bradford's whiskers failed to show up at the meeting. For he had "shot" them some days before—the first time in 15 years. Mr. Pierotti said, as he eyed him with evidence of disapproval, that if Bradford didn't do it again for 15 years he might be pardoned, otherwise not. Mr. Cargill came in wearing blue glasses, as a result of having a sty in his eye and catching cold in it, and on eyeing the stranger closely finally recognized him as a friend he had known long ago; but he sadly said Bradford's fine appearance was a thing of the past, and that now he did not look as well as even the company's Secretary, Mr. Blennerhassett. Mr. Rea put in an appearance at the meeting, but promptly at 2 o'clock he was seen to gasp, while under a temporary spell at Bradford's awful appearance, and seizing his hat bolted downstairs, exclaiming he would never come back until the whiskers were themselves again. As he disappeared out of the door Blennerhassett called to him not to come back—that there would be no quorum. Evidently Blennerhassett had a bad attack at the loss of Bradford's whiskers, and was anxious to catch the first train out of town. Mr. Crowther came in from Durkeeville and reported Bro. Fuller running 1000 inches of water into his ditch from the river, taking the same from the two valley companies, without warrant of law. He said four other ditches had been dug above the Fuller tract, and that if Fuller were sustained by the courts in his illegal diversion of water (which he doubted) all four would be tapping the river and appropriating our share of water. "We have a fight on hand, young man," he said, significantly. "I think this Fuller water will be eventually taken to Pomona, if Fuller is upheld by the courts." He looked at Bradford. He uttered a shriek, and fell fainting into a chair. He was with difficulty revived. Bradford said he thought he would have to let his whiskers grow again. never been less than $1 a cord. The matter was referred to the ditch committee, with power to act, the price being fixed at $1 a cord, and the ditch committee to see that the wood is properly measured and none of it lost to the company. Mr. Pierotti asked relative to the enlargement of the main ditch at Tukree's corner, the capacity of which the superintendent had been instructed to increase by the addition of six inches of cement on the sides, and which had not, he said, yet been done. Mr. Crowther said that Superintendent Sheppard had hauled sand for the work, and would on Monday morning, the 23d, begin its enlargement. The board here went into a short executive session. Mr. Chapman was feeling ill, and but little business was transacted. The Apricot Crop. Reports from various points in Southern California are to the effect that the apricot crop is almost a total failure. At Villa Park, Tustin and other sections of Orange county from half to a quarter of a crop is reported. On the other hand, Mr. Neff reports the heaviest crop of this fruit his orchard has yet produced. The older trees are so heavily laden with fruit, which is now as large as one's thumb, that vigorous thinning had to be resorted to. However, his younger orchard (the Brighetti's French variety), which bore last season for the first time, is not showing up well this season. He expected 50 tons from them, and will get hardly 10. The fruit is large and of fine appearance. From this orchard last year he sold fruit for as high as $50 per ton to the cannery here. The trees this year have not put out their leaves properly, and look like many of the apricot trees in orchards where little or no fruit is being produced. Mr. Neff will probably bud this variety to the Blenheim, of which his large orchard is composed. Prices for apricots have not as yet been announced, although a rumor prevailed last week that the Santa Ana cannery was offering $35 per ton. Drainage District. The election on Monday in Fountain Valley district for the purpose of taking the sense of the people on the formation of the Bolsa drainage district was carried by a vote of 55 to 7. The drainage district will take the place of the old Bolsa drainage district, which went by the boards some years ago on account of an adverse decision of the Supreme Court upon that matter was referred to the ditch committee, with power to act, the price being fixed at $1 a cord, and the ditch committee to see that the wood is properly measured and none of it lost to the company.

Gen.Last and staff will also be sent; and will be tendered a roysome come; such as the citizens of Anaheim are noted for. The orders respectively of these generals: Lieut.-Col. W.O.W.; and of Major Diss; relative to muster-in; are as follows: HEADQUARTERS FIRST BRIGA N.G.C., LOS ANGELES,CAL., April 16,N.G.C., [Special Orders No.9.] Pursuant to instructions contain special orders No.1; issued general headquarters; dated March 1900; a military company will be organized and mustered into the Naval Guard of California at Anaheim on Saturday; April 28, 1900; said party to be known and designated Company E; Seventh Infantry; Brigade; N.G.C.

He said four other ditches had been dug above the Fuller tract, and that if Fuller were sustained by the courts in his illegal diversion of water (which he doubted) all four would be tapping the river and appropriating our share of water. "We have a fight on hand, young man," he said, significantly. "I think this Fuller water will be eventually taken to Pomona, if Fuller is upheld by the courts." He looked at Bradford. He uttered a shriek, and fell fainting into a chair. He was with difficulty revived. Bradford said he thought he would have to let his whiskers grow again. His children refused to associate with him, and that made him feel cheaper'n thirty cents' worth of shucks. He said he thought he looked better with whiskers on, anyway, even if it was a job to keep them trimmed up in the latest style. And so it is to be hoped that Bradford will permit his whiskers to grow. Mr. Crowther, who, since his return from Paris, wears his whiskers in the Renaissance style of architecture, reporting for the ditch committee, said that the petition of the Olinda ranch people relative to a 2-inch pipe tapping the ditch on the ranch had been adjusted satisfactorily to all parties concerned. A 4-inch pipe had been installed in place of the 2-inch one herefore in use, and 20,000 gallons of water will be taken daily for stock and domestic purposes. A lock will be put on the pipe, and the oil-well people who have been taking water at this point will be shut out. The ranch people would later, he said, petition for the cementing of the ditch through their tract. The committee asked for further time in the matter of procuring deeds for a right of way for a ditch through the Fiscus, Randall and Johnston tracts, where the construction of a cement ditch is in contemplation. Mr. Bradford reported that Wesley Alms asked for two gates in the ditch running by his place, and spoke favorably relative to their construction. Mr. Pierotti objected, saying that one gate was sufficient, and that the extra gate was asked for only to irrigate one row of walnut trees. He said it had been the tacit understanding of the previous board that but one gate should be allowed to every ten acres, and that a superfluous number of gates should not be permitted in any case. Mr. Crowther did not understand how this rule could interfere with the granting of the second gate, so long as Alms had agreed to pay the expense of its construction. Gates were constructed, he said, for the convenience of irrigators, and if an increased number were necessary in order to properly irrigate their land he would approve of their construction. Mr. Chapman stated that the board should be averse to the construction of innumerable gates. They entailed extra work for the zanjeros, extra expense for repairs, and the item of leakage was kept in check best by a minimum number of them. The matter of gates, he said, had been gone into quite extensively by their predecessors in office, and the conclusion arrived at by them was that the number of gates allowed Prices for apricots have not as yet been announced, although a rumor prevailed last week that the Santa Ana cannery is offering $35 per ton. Drainage District The election on Monday in Fountain Valley district for the purpose of taking the sense of the people on the formation of the Bolsa drainage district was carried by a vote of 55 to 7. The drainage district will take the place of the old Bolsa drainage district, which went by the boards some years ago on account of an adverse decision of the Supreme Court upon the validity of its creation. Since that time the drainage canal has been kept in such state of cleanliness as circumstances permitted, by three or four of the settlers relative to its reorganization, this was set aside on the advent of the Bolsa Chica gun club and the erection of its dam across the Bolsa Chica channel. The nearest approach of the district to the dam is a mile or more, yet some of the settlers maintain the district was formed for the purpose of "making an outlet into the ocean through the middle of the dam." These chaps were probably talking through their hats. It is understood the gun club views the formation of the drainage district with favor, and that the friction at one time existing between the club and the settlers is at an end. Social Notes. Arnold Hansen entertained the members of the Evening Social club at his home on Orangethorpe avenue on Friday evening. He was assisted in receiving by his two charming sisters. The handsome home had been elaborately decorated for the occasion. A wealth of flora greeted the eye in every direction; gorgeous roses, carnations, smilax, ferns and palms adorned all the rooms. The evening was delightfully spent in playing progressive hearts. Miss Jessie Melrose and Dr. Houch won the first prizes, Miss Zeus and Ed Zeus the second prizes,and Miss Helmann and Charley Fay the booby prizes. Excellent refreshments were served after the games, and the hospitality for which the home is noted was exemplified in the charming arrangements made for the entertainment of the guests. Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Ladies' Euchre club last Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Harrison won the first prize, asparagus fern in an elegant jardiniere; Miss Winifred Melrose, the second, a globe of gold fish; Miss Zeyn, the booby Mrs. Rust won the guest prize. Dainty refreshments followed the games. Maccabees. Anaheim Tent No. 9 of the Maccabees of the World will hold a review at Backs' hall Saturday night at 8 o'clock. All the reviews hereafter will be held on the second and fourth Saturdays in each month at Backs' hall. The Ladies of the Maccabees have about completed arrangements in having a hall furnished in Backs' building so that they can have their review on the same night with the Sir Knights. The Maccabees are doing good work and membership is increasing. The social features are attractive and work beneficial and instructive. Census Children E. B. Merritt has made a passivity of the Anaheim school dis reports the enrollment of 72 children between the ages of 16 years. The census has not as completed, he having until May which to perform that duty. Is thus far, over last year, no 50 children, total number year ago, one less than the year The increase is gratifying, an he said, for the convenience of irrigators, and if an increased number were necessary in order to properly irrigate their land he would approve of their construction. Mr. Chapman stated that the board should be averse to the construction of innumerable gates. They entailed extra work for the zanjeros, extra expense for repairs, and the item of leakage was kept in check best by a minimum number of them. The matter of gates, he said, had been gone into quite extensively by their predecessors in office, and the conclusion arrived at by them was that the number of gates allowed each irrigator should be kept down to a minimum consistent with the proper irrigation of their land. The matter was, after further discussion, referred to the ditch committee with authority, and by this time the extra gate has in all probability been constructed. Secretary Blennerhassett read a petition from Mr. Sheldon and other irrigators on the east side representing sixty-five shares of stock, asking that the cement ditch running by the Scott place be extended westerly a distance of 35 chains to the east line of lot 12 of Anaheim Extension. The matter went to the ditch committee. Mr. Nebelung said that the gate in the Orangethorpe-avenue ditch, from which he takes water, and which had been referred to the superintendent with instructions to repair it, had been as yet unattended to. He said that the irrigators along this ditch desired to have it cemented. When asked by Mr. Crowther if the shareholders along the ditch would be willing to haul the cement and gravel and do the back-filling, he replied that they would not. He added that he personally would not favor doing this work inasmuch as other main ditches had been cemented and no similar request had been made of the shareholders along the line. The matter went to the ditch committee. Mr. Plerotti said that Mr. Rimpau had informed him that he had a Mexican who wished to cut the willow wood on the upper tract near the section-house, above the head of the Anaheim ditch, and offered 75 cents a cord therefor. Mr. Crowther said that the price had Maccabees. Anaheim Tent No. 9 of the Maccabees of the World will hold a review at Backs' hall Saturday night at 8 o'clock.

Webb, who for a number of years past has been a resident of this section, for the past two years of which he has been employed at the Santa Fe oil wells, contemplates leaving this week for Bakersfield, where he has been offered a lucrative position in the oil territory at that point. For the past 16 months Mr. Webb has had the contract to haul water from the Cajon ditch to the oil wells, and has had employed in the service a six-horse team. The recent completion of the pipe line supplying water from the canal to the oil wells by pumping has had the effect of terminating his contract. Mr. Webb is one of our most highly respected citizens, and his departure will be noted with regret. He retains his land west of town, and looks forward to the time when he shall return and again take up his residence in Orange county. Rain. Twenty-eight hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Friday night and Saturday morning last, bringing the total for the season up to 6.29. Last season to date we had 4.76 inches. Thus we are this season 1.53 inches ahead of that record. The rain will help beets, corn and pumpkins, freshen up late-sown hay and alfalfa, and increase the volume of water in the mountain watershed. Hay for Sale.

Trustee Dickel Makes Protest Against Its Continuance, but the Board Resolve to Carry It to the Supreme Court. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening Trustee Dickel protested against carrying the case of the City versus Mrs. Langenberger, involving the title to one of the corners of the disputed plaza property at the corner of Center and Palm streets, from the Superior Court, where a deci­sion was recently rendered in favor of defendant, to the Supreme Court on appeal. He said the suit had been brought in the first place as a friendly suit, and now that Judge Ballard had decided the matter in favor of defend­ant, he argued that it was unnecessary to carry it to the higher court. He said he was sorry the other members of the board were not present at the trial, as that would have convinced them how little there was in the claim of the city to the property. City Attorney Chynoweth stated in reply that there had only been two cases of a similar nature carried to the Supreme Court in this State. In many respects the cases were identical; there had been no acceptance of the property by the city, but lots had been sold to purchasers with the understanding that the lands bought fronted a plaza. In both cases the Supreme Court had decided in favor of the claims of the city. In similar cases in other States the Supreme Courts have held that no accept­ance of such property is necessary, and have cited the California cases as being good law. This case, he said, was a friendly case. He cited one instance (that of the abstract of proceedings in the Schwartz estate situated within the plaza tract) as an evidence of his friend­ness to the plaintiff. Had he objected to the introduction of this particular document, defendant would have been put to a large expense for procuring the evidence contained therein in present­able form. He also related a conversation with Mr. Montgomery, attorney for the defendant, in which various matters had been agreed upon on a friendly basis. Mr. Montgomery had at that time stated there was much to be said in support of each side of the case. The costs of the case so far were, for the city, only $45, and for Mrs. Langenberger $13.85. He had also paid $20 for the writing up of the evidence in the case. The cost of taking the case to the Supreme Court would be $10 for board and made a proposition for sprinkling an increased area, on Broadway and Los Angeles street, for 75 cents per day, above his present compensation of $2.12$. The board took no action, the repairs making at the water works preventing such a procedure. About 20,000 gallons of water are at present applied to the streets daily, and a further draught upon the water works is out of the question at present. The Marshal reported several leaky faucets, which had been repaired, and he was instructed to be on a constant lookout for others. On motion of Trustee Schneider, the Clerk was instructed to look up the matter of the city printing contract, with a view to advertising for bids for doing the work during the coming fiscal year. RETURNED FROM MEXICO. John Schauman Sees Many Interesting Sights While Voyaging Through the Sister Republic. John Schauman, who returned last week from a two-months' trip to Mexico, tells of many interesting experiences in the several cities visited during his trip. He passed some days in Guadalajara, a city of 100,000 population, which he pronounces one of the most cleanly and well-regulated cities of the sister republic. On a previous trip south he spent some time in the City of Mexico, and made a trip to the castle of Chapultepec, the country residence seat of President Diaz, where Maximillan was shot. The castle is built upon an eminence, and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and shrubbery. A wide and well-paved thoroughfare leads to the castle from the city, containing at intervals statues of men prominent in Mexican history. The town of Aguas Calientes he pronounces the dirtiest town seen on his travels. Ditches containing water from the hot springs which flow through the town are used to bathe in by men and women indiscriminately, and are not infrequently used to carry off sewage. Farther along, the water is used for domestic purposes John drank no water at Aguas Calientes; he drank milk, and it made him bilious. Many of the Mexican towns are built principally of adobe, the streets being noted chiefly for their uncleanliness. The surrounding country is rich and fertile, splendid wheat and corn crops being raised. The cathedrals are superb specimens of architecture, that at Guadalajara, built early in the eighteenth century, being the finest structure he PERSONAL MEMBER Tommy Dietrich is painter Syre's bakery building.

Pressel, Zerman, C. Pressel, Zerman, C. Pressel, Zerman, C. Pressel, Zerman, C. Pressel, Trustees Schwenckert, Schneider and Helmets were of opinion that when the case was begun it was with the purpose of carrying it to the Supreme Court. The Clerk referred to the minutes of last June, when the case was first brought, and read that the case was to be prosecuted to a finish. His minutes contained nothing about the Supreme Court, but the board declared that was due to an omission on the part of the Clerk. Mr. Chynoweth said that only one corner of the property in question had been passed upon in the Superior Court. He had agreed with Mr. Montgomery that, should the decision of the Supreme Court be favorable to Mrs. Langenberger, the Superior Court should be asked to enter a similar judgment in the three other corners. Should the Supreme Court decide in favor of the city, a similar judgment was to be entered by the Superior Court in each of the other cases. This illustrated the fact that Mr. Montgomery knew of his (Chynoweth's) intention of taking the case to the higher court on appeal. However, should the case now be dropped, the title to Mrs. Langenberger's property would be vested in her; her title would be absolute; but the title to the property on the three other corners would still be in doubt. He stated further that the attorneys for the present holders of the property had advised them of the existence of this flaw in the title, and that the erection of houses thereupon was a dangerous proceeding. If the property was ever given to the public, the people ought to have it, he said; if the people do not own it, they should know it, as well as the holders of the property, so that the question of its title may be settled. The board decided to allow the matter to take the usual course, and the case will go to the higher court on appeal. In the midst of the discussion Clerk Nebelung arose and said: "Gentlemen, as Mr. Merritt has duly qualified for the office of City Clerk, I am delighted that city, a telegram informed him that his women indiscriminately, and are not infrequently used to carry off sewage. Further along, the water is used for domestic purposes John drank no water at Aguas Calientes; he drank milk, and it made him billious. Many of the Mexican towns are built principally of adobe, the streets being noted chiefly for their uncleanliness. The surrounding country is rich and fertile, splendid wheat and corn crops being raised. The cathedrals are superb specimens of architecture, that at Guadalajara, built early in the eighteenth century, being the finest structure he ever saw. The band music, notably at the City of Mexico, is of a high order of merit, being in many respects the best he ever heard. The bands have each 80 to 100 pieces, and the concerts in the plazas are attended by large crowds of delighted auditors. American ideas are fast penetrating the country, and many threshing machines and steam cornshellers have been sold there this year. Traveling salesmen from American implement houses are more numerous this year than ever before, yet many of the poorer rancheros thresh their wheat by having it tramped out by horses and mules. John was doing an excellent business in the implement-line, but had to return to California owing to the attitude, the elevation being in many places 8000 feet above the sea level. The railway carriages over the Mexican Central line are for the most part splendidly equipped, which makes traveling more comfortable than in recent years; the railway system showing much advancement. However, on some of the railroads the cars are a generation behind the times, and traveling in them is decidedly uncomfortable. On arriving at El Paso he had to undergo quite an aggravating experience. He went to the bank to procure the cashing of a draft. The money was refused him until he could be identified.Knowing no one in that city, this was not an easy task.Even though he had just received a telegram from his brother,Tommy Diedrich, advising him relative to the draft, its payment was refused.Here went to the railroad office and offered it in payment for a ticket to Anaheim.It was refused.John became vexed. "What kind of a town have you got here?" he asked, with some perturbation of mind."Are they all thieves and scalawags in it?" He asked that a telegram be sent to Anaheim for his identificationThis was done.The telegram on arriving here was misunderstood。它 was interpreted to mean that an Anaheim man was in El Paso so sick that he could not tell his name.On learning of this state of affairs,his brother determined to go immediately to El Paso for him.An hour or so later John chanced to meet a man whom he had formerly known in Chihuahua.Hew was identified,cashed the draft,purchased his ticket and started for home.H arrived last week on the same day that Diedrich started for Los AngelesWhen she latter reached that city,a telegram informed him that his women indiscriminately,and are not infrequently used to carry off sewage.Further along,the water is used for domestic purposes John drank no water at Aguas Calientes; he drank milk,and it made him billious. Many of the Mexican towns are built principally of adobe,the streets being noted chiefly for their uncleanliness.The surrounding country is rich and fertile,splendid wheat and corn crops being raised. The cathedrals are superb specimens of architecture,theat at Guadalajara,built early in the eighteenth century.beingthefineststructureheeversaw.

Merritt has made a partial canvass of the Anaheim school district, and reports the enrollment of 712 census children between the ages of 5 and 17 years. The census has not yet been completed, he having until May 1st in which to perform that duty. The gain thus far, over last year, no less than 30 children, the total number being a year ago, one less than the year before. The increase is gratifying, and may be sufficient to give us another teacher. City Well Pit. Workmen have been engaged during the week in erecting a derrick over the well pit at the city water works, and in hoisting the pump therefrom, preparatory to the task of lowering the pit some 20 feet. The pit is 24½ feet in depth, and when the cement bottom was constructed some two years ago the contractors found extreme difficulty in keeping the water out sufficiently to out in the concrete. Now the water has fallen some 20 feet below that level, and the pit will be lowered so that pumping may be done more expeditiously. The work of breaking up the flooring and deepening the pit will begin, under the supervision of Mr. Fay, as soon as the temporary water connections have been made. Water will be pumped from the wells in the old pit during the sinking of the new pit. Will Be Married. Archie Henry, the popular young West Anaheimer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Henry of Caledonia Grove, will be married on Thursday evening, May 6th, to Miss Ida L.
