A LEAF FROM EARLY HISTORY. Anaheim's City Officials from the Beginning of the Incorporation of This City in 1870 to the Present Time. City Clerk Merritt has completed an interesting bit of historical data concerning the early history of this municipality. In response to a request from County Clerk Beckett he has delved deep into the ancient documents in the city's archives, and has taken therefrom a list of city officials who have held office since the incorporation of this city in 1870. The document was prepared for the purpose of placing it, along with other papers of interest, in the corner-stone of the new county courthouse at Santa Ana.

That the citizens residing to the west,northwest,southwest and south of this city are soon to have their mail delivered to them free each morning is probably as certain as anything can well be. Yesterday afternoon upward of 100 signatures of heads of families had been attached to the lists,the names being of farmers living at Miraflores Katella,Clair,Magnolia,Garden Grove,Buena Park and Artesia It is confidently expected that patrons sufficient for the formation of two free mail delivery districts may be formed,and perhaps when Congress reassembles a second district will be established. Frank Eastman has been in charge of the circulating of the petition under instructions of Major John E.Jeffery,special agent of the Postoffice Department who has been in Orange county for some days pastlooking into the formation of the three rural mail delivery routes recommended by Congressman Needham to be established in Orange county. Major Jeffery was favorably impressed with the free delivery district at this point,saying that it offered one of the most ideal locations for the successful maintenance of a district He is expected in Anaheim shortlywhen the district,after its formal approval by Congressman Needhamwill be put into immediate effect. Mr.Lonergan circulated a petition in Buena Park,and secured a great number of signatures to be added to the list. In circulating the petition through the West Anaheim country several farmers were met who stated they had signed a petition asking for a postoffice in the Mercereau storebut only a few refused to sign the petition for free delivery on that account,and they were even of the opinion that the latter was after all the better plan to pursue. It is known that Mercereau last year circulated a petition for the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim,the office to be of course in his grocery.The Postoffice Department at Washington declined to establish the post-office. Some weeks ago another petition was sent to Washington,having for its object a similar purpose,both so far noth Geo. W. Baxter, attorney. F. W. Kuelp, clerk. City Clerk F. W.

By act of the Legislature, approved March 7, 1872, the charter of the City of Anaheim was revoked, the act approved February 10, 1870, being thereby repealed.

"Come out and have a cigar," said our friend W.O.F.Schwenckert, as he strode into the office with a majestic tread on Monday. "What is it boy or girl?" he was asked. By that time he was piloting the way into the Landlord's tobacco emporium, too hilarious to answer such a trifling question. "When did it arrive?" we asked. "Nine-forty this morning," he descended to reply. In Helmsen's,C.Schindler was encountered whispering to the Burgomeister across the showcase relative to some big cement contract which he probably desires to get from the city. "What's all this about?" asked Schindler as the Landlord with that same old two-by-six smile pulled open the glass covering from the Havana case. Schwenckert's got another boy," we said. "No,它 isn't a boy," he replied quickly,"and don't you put it in the paper that it is a boy.Its a girl.Its the finest girl in the county." All hands smoked to the health of the little girl,and Schwenckert whispered in Helmsen's ear: "I got a candidate for the Eastern Star." "This makes two girls,and a boy to take care of them," he continued between puffs. "How much does she weigh?" we asked. "Oh,bout fourteen pounds,iGuess," he said as he started off down the sidewalk whistling to beat the band. Well,[puff,puff,puff.]here's to the little girl and her papa. New Primary Law. The new primary law passed by the last Legislature is in force now and the coming primaries will have to be conducted strictly according to its provisions. The following summary of dates and principal points of the law are worth rememberingThose interested in farmers were met when asked they signed a petition asking for a postoffice in the Mercereau store but only a few refused to sign the petition for free delivery on that account,and they were even of the opinion that the latter was after all the better plan to pursue. It is known that Mercereau last year circulated a petition for the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim,the office to be of course in his grocery.The Postoffice Department at Washington declined to establish the postoffice. Some weeks ago another petition was sent to Washington,having its object a similar purpose,但 so far nothing has been heard of it。它 is not considered probable that a postoffice will be established at West Anaheim,four various good and sufficient reasons.A protest of the citizens of this city and West Anaheim is being circulated against the establishment of the postoffice at West Anaheim.The circuit stance,taken in connection with the fact that a sufficient number of names have already been secured to form a free rural delivery district would indicate that no office will be established at that point. Many of the farmers in the outlying sections ask,"What does this free delivery of mail mean?" It means that your Uncle Samuel has come to the conclusion that it is about time to do something nice for people who live in the country.The city folks have mail delivered to their three,four,five and six times a day.The country people help to pay for this Every acre of land tilled,every head of stock raised,every orchard of trees set out，helps to pay in part the establishment of free mail delivery in cities The city chaps have been getting the best of the bargain,dont you see? Now your Uncle Samuel steps in and says it is time the people in the rural districts ought to have some of the benefits,and the establishment of free rural delivery districts is a step that end. One delivery of mail will be made daily.Permaps in the future two days liveries daily will be the rule. The only expense attached to the service is the sum of $3.50which members have to pay for a postoffice box. Major John E.Jeffery,special age of the Postoffice Department.to where reference has been made,has chargedthe rural free delivery system in California,Nevada,Arizona and New Mexico He will remain in this immediate vicinity about a week.Hew very enthusiastic about the new duplication upon the subject.

A letter from that point has the following to say of the manner in which it was received: "SANTA BARBARA, July 2. — The rural neighborhoods comprising the Carpinteria valley are experiencing an improvement inaugurated by Uncle Sam. Today the rural carrier made his first official rounds with the mails over the newly-authorized free rural delivery district. Much local enthusiasm is manifested over the arrangement, and the honest pride of the people will operate to bring about many improvements as the system grows older. The present route covers the distance of 28 miles, serving a district ten miles long by three miles wide, with a sworn population of 1500. The people are to be congratulated on the selection of a thorough equipment. Subscribers are provided with elegant, substantial metal boxes of a uniform size and mounted on firm posts conveniently situated at the roadside, so that the carrier is not compelled to dismount.

Judge Noyes of Riverside Refuses to Issue a Temporary Injunction Preventing His Diversion of Water Judge Noyes of the Riverside Superior Court has refused the temporary injunction asked for by the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies, in the matter of the diversion by O. B. Fuller of Riverside of 1000 inches of water claimed by the two valley irrigation companies. The suit to restrain Fuller from appropriating this water will now be called up for trial, and prosecuted with all despatch. The Riverside Press of late date says that E. W. Freeman has begun suit for Caleb Yount and Charles H. Fuller vs. Jacob Stoner et al. to secure a writ or injunction. The complaint recites that the plaintiff own a ditch along the north bank of the Santa Ana river which conveys 300 inches of water to their land in the Jurupa rancho. On May 23, so the complaint states, the defendants plowed up and destroyed a lateral ditch which crossed their lands, and thus prevented the irrigation of 40 acres of the plaintiffs' land. The prayer for a temporary injunction to prevent the defendants tampering with or destroying the main ditch or laterals was granted by Judge Noyes on the showing of the complaint. The complaint alleges that plaintiffs' crop will suffer to the extent of $2000. Referring to this new injunction suit the Orange Post observes: That Fuller ditch is the same one the A. U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. asked Judge Noyes to grant a temporary injunction against, on the ground that it was conveying the water of the Santa Ana river out of the basin of the stream over the watershed into the basin of Mill creek. The facts are notorious—can be seen without the aid of instruments—besides,the companies took the trouble and expense to verify them with surveys and levels by competent engineers. The attorneys say that where the act be enjoined is clearly one against which a permanent injunction would lie. It is the duty of the court to grant a temporary injunction regardless if any question or damages to the petitioners, as instanced by precedents and decisions cited in the presentation of the case. Such a view is reasonable because the Fullers are the ones who are seeking to change the established order of things,and they should be held in check until they have vindicated their right to the water on that ground. They claim great damage would result to them by shutting off the water; but who put them in condition to receive damage? They themselves did it; they took the risk,with as late a Supreme PERSONAL MENTION Rev. and Mrs. Stone have returned after an absence of a number o week visiting with friends in the East.

Barriers are appointed, the route laid out in detail and boxes established. These boxes are located at the nearest each house along the route for the carrier does not leave the road. They are divided into two departments, one for depositing mail the resident and the other for collins. When a carrier has any mail deposits it in the box, and a small raised automatically to indicate the resident that his mail is awaiting. When a resident deposits a letter package for collection by the latter, a similar flag is raised over that department." Special Agent Jeffery has been in the office but a short time.

John Wagner, an old and highly respected resident of Placentia, died at his home on Monday, after a lingering illness which kept him to his bed for many weeks. The deceased was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1832, and came to this country in 1854. For years he engaged in the sheep business and amassed quite a competency. Later he had given his attention to his orange and walnut orchards at Placentia, which were objects of particular beauty, and the yield being of superior quality. Mr. Wagner was one of the best known residents of this portion of Orange county, and to know him was to hold him in very high esteem. His death is regretted by a wide circle of friends throughout the county. The remains were interred in the Anaheim cemetery on Tuesday, being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. About Mr. Duzan. T.H.Duzan of the Texas and Pacific railway, with headquarters in Los Angeles, was in town on Saturday in the interest of his railway.

Any business entrusted to his care will be attended to with scrupulous exactitude, that being the policy of his office. With his associate, Mr. Fitzgerald, they leave nothing undone to secure the comfort of the traveling public, and parties going East will find it a pleasure to do business with them. Kevane-Hudson.
