A CLOCK FOR POWER HOUSE. No Longer Will the Boys Be Uncertain as to Quitting Hours—New Enclosed Areas for Street Lighting At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening, Trustee Schneider reported the work of connecting the sides of the well pit progressing. The job consists of joining the new cement with the old, and work, he said, was necessarily slow. Trustee Dickel reported nothing from the Ordinance Committee, he having been unable to confer with City Attorney Chynoweth. Trustee Helmsen said he had received a letter from Mr. Chynoweth, stating he was laid up at his home in Los Angeles with a lame knee, and had not been able to get out for some days. He added that if there was any city business requiring his attention, he should be written to. In the matter of erecting a tank at the West End, for street-sprinkling purposes and fire protection, Trustee Schneider asked for and was granted further time. There was no hurry for placing the tank, he said, as the rainy season will soon be on, and street sprinkling will not be the paramount question. Trustee Dickel was of opinion Tim Boege's corner lot at the intersection of Center and West streets furnished the best site for the tank. Trustee Schneider said the engineers at the power house were in need of a hand cart, to tote tools to and from work about town. They had nothing but an old wheelbarrow now, which made hard sledding. Clerk Merritt had taken time by the forelock and had written a Los Angeles house relative to prices of these necessary adjuncts of civilization. Prices ranged from $8.50 to $9.50. The matter was left to the Finance Committee to procure one. Trustee Schneider said that a number of arc lights were not giving satisfaction. Some of them, he had been informed by Electrician Lewis, had been taken from stores, when they were replaced by enclosed arcs, and many were burned out and practically useless. All were going on six years of age. Clerk Merritt was instructed to in- HELD A MEETING AFTER ALL. Water Board Has No Quorum, Adjourns and Then Assembles to Meet With the Transriver Directors. There was no quorum at the meeting of the water board at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Directors Crowther, Pierotti and Nebelung were the only members present. Mr. Chapman telephoned in that he would not be present, and Mr. Bradford was too busy at home, since his return from San Francisco, to come in. Mr. Cargill had been telephoned to by Secretary Blennerhassett that there would be no quorum, and was therefore not present. Mr. Crowther said Engineer Kellogg had written him that he would be present and submit his report on the submerged dam up the river, together with other matters of importance. Kellogg leaves shortly for Honolulu, he said, to be absent six months, and he would very much like to hear his report before his departure. Secretary Blennerhassett here called the roll offhand, and declared that inasmuch as no quorum was present the meeting would stand adjourned. The Secretary looked at his watch to see how much time he had to catch the train for Los Angeles. He has been lately elected a member of the aristocratic Country club, and is coming to be quite a golf expert. Mr. Crowther said as he walked down the stairs that his precinct (Placentia) would give McKinley and Needham a two-to-one majority. The precinct has 155 voters registered. He was sorry there was no quorum, and said he wished to see Kellogg. After the adjournment of the meeting, the directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation district showed up, accompanied by Mr. Kellogg with a roll of maps and Lawyer Keech with an armful of law books. Mr. Armor chaperoned the party, among whom were Mr. McPherson of Durkeeville and the other members of the newly elected board. The three directors of the local company present at the opening of the meeting climbed up the stairs again. Mr. Cargill was telephoned to, to come into town immediately if not shown the Many Natural Advantages of that State—Different Methods from Those Practiced by California Farmers. BARTOW, Florida, October 12, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: Since my last letter nothing new has happened. Our rainy season has passed, but still it keeps showering down occasionally, and it is raining just now so steadily and fast as to exclude all out-door labor. Having nothing very important to do, I will try to jot down a few items about this most lovely country, thinking that it might interest some of your readers. We are just now having carpenters at work remodeling our dwelling-house and a fine dwelling it will be after the mechanics are through with it. A beautiful place we will have after having given it attention in true California style. It seems that the longer we stay in this country the better we like it. The rains come so suddenly and naturally and it threatens so little that it is a revelation to us. The temperature is so equable; it is so warm all the time day and night, that it would almost seem impossible to catch a serious cold. Devastating tornadoes are unknown in these parts, and when Galveston was being destroyed it was only blustering quite a little here with a rainfall of about two inches. Last week I was told about some sulphur spring outside of Bartow, having my curiosity excited, we went out to look it up. It is about four miles southeast of Bartow, and two and one half miles from our place. The road led through pine forests, and having arrived at the spot we found a lake of sulphur water which empties into Peacock River. Right in the center of this lake a big volume of water was bubbling up. We found bathing houses and other buildings on the place, but everything was going to wreck and ruin. It seems that it had been a great health resoult in former years, but has, however, as most entirely gone under and is only used as a picnic ground by the local population. Taking in all its advantages at a glance; the spot being an ideal one in the midst of pine forests and river bottoms; the air being laden... Clerk Merritt had taken time by the forelock and had written a Los Angeles house relative to prices of these necessary adjuncts of civilization. Prices ranged from $8.50 to $9.50. The matter was left to the Finance Committee to procure one. Trustee Schneider said that a number of arc lights were not giving satisfaction. Some of them, he had been informed by Electrician Lewis, had been taken from stores, when they were replaced by enclosed arcs, and many were burned out and practically useless. All were going on six years of age. Clerk Merritt was instructed to inquire of Mr. Lewis how many arcs are required to replace those incapable of further service, and to procure prices. It is the intention of the board to purchase a number of enclosed arcs for street lighting. For some time past a number of the street arcs have not been giving the best of service. Those will be replaced by new enclosed arcs. Trustee Schneider reported that the employees at the power house had asked for a clock. That was another necessary adjunct of civilization. The power house had never been provided with a time piece, and one was required in order to facilitate the going on and coming off of the different shifts. Trustee Helmsen said the boys at the power house had been asking for a clock for years, and he thought they ought to have one. Sometimes they work all night, and never know midnight has passed and that it is tomorrow already. Trustee Schneider suggested that the Finance Committee procure an eight-day striking cuckoo clock. Mr. Dickel—Shall we get it now, or wait till Christmas? The board determined to procure it forthwith, and the clock will be installed, if not already, probably in the near future. Clerk Merritt read a letter from the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Co. in reference to the best make of boiler to be installed at the water works. The company offered to make a blue-print drawing, accompanied by specifications, of the most approved horizontal return tubular boiler, free of coat, if the boiler, when installed, were insured in that company. Otherwise the charge for the drawing and specifications would be $5. As the city boilers are all insured in that company, the offer was accepted, and a blank schedule of measurements of the boiler room, which had been submitted by the insurance company, was referred to the engineers at the power house to be filled out, together with a rough pen-and-ink sketch of the premises, to be forwarded the insurance company. After the receipt of the plans and specifications, bids for the construction of the boiler will be asked for. A half dozen electrical meters were ordered from the Edison company. A raft of bills went over on account of the absence of a majority of the Finance Committee, to the November meeting. Trustee Helmsen presided, and there were present Trustees Dickel and Schneider. Absent, Schwenckert and Weisel. The Baby Show. After the adjournment of the meeting, the directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation district showed up, accompanied by Mr. Kellogg with a roll of maps and Lawyer Keech with an armful of law books. Mr. Armor chaperoned the party, among whom were Mr. McPherson of Durkeeville and the other members of the newly elected board. The three directors of the local company present at the opening of the meeting climbed up the stairs again. Mr. Cargill was telephoned to, come into town immediately if not sooner. He was just getting out of a warm bath, and was hot. The meeting before, he had come in and had found no one to do business with. The other directors had been telephoned to that there would be no quorum. This time he had been telephoned not to come, and here he was, just getting out of his bath, telephoned to come into town in a hurry. He dressed in a jiffy, ordered his horse hitched up, and arrived in town in 35 minutes. He failed to button his shirt. This is the record trip into town from Brookshurst. Kellogg unrolled several maps upon the table, and the members of both boards gathered about them while Kellogg explained them. Mr. Armor observed the meeting would be in executive session, and the proletariat withdrew. At 4 o'clock Mr. Blennerhassett came out from behind the closed doors, and walked rapidly with his overcoat on his arm in the direction of the depot. Bystanders said it was a 5 to 1 bet that he was off to Los Angeles to play golf with George Denis or go automobile riding with Jim McLachlan. The board continued in executive session long after respectable people go home from business on Saturday afternoon. Death of Mr. Nickerson. C. H. Nickerson died at his home in West Anaheim on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, after a lingering illness, due to heart trouble, of which he had suffered for years. He had been ill for four or five months, and had been in bed during six weeks. Although his death had been expected, news of the end caused universal regret among his many friends hereabout, where he had lived for upward of 20 years. Mr. Nickerson came to Anaheim first some 31 years ago. He lived here two years, and subsequently moved to Reno, Nev., and later to Mexico. He returned some 20 years ago, and continued to reside here until the time of his death. He was universally respected as a man of honor and integrity. He numbered his friends on all sides, and never knew what it was to have an enemy. He was a native of Maine, and was aged 60 years and 10 months. The funeral will occur this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence on West Broadway. Decased leaves a widow and two sons, aged 12 and 14 years, to mourn his loss. They have the condolence of the entire community in the great affection. Big Buy. The Santa Fe company has purchased wished to see Kellogg. After the adjournment of the meeting, the directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation district showed up, accompanied by Mr. Kellogg with a roll of maps and Lawyer Keech with an armful of law books. Mr. Armor chaperoned the party, among whom were Mr. McPherson of Durkeeville and the other members of the newly elected board. The three directors of the local company present at the opening of the meeting climbed up the stairs again. Mr. Cargill was telephoned to, come into town immediately if not sooner.

The board continued in executive session long after respectable people go home from business on Saturday afternoon. Chickens do well, and eggs generate sell high—are worth 25 cents per pound, and even buttermilk sells well. But it is a great bother to milk cow coffee with take care of them through feed can readily be grown. Leguminous plants, like cow peas, vet beans and the native beggar we furnish the very best of feed, and drawing the nitrogen from the atmosphere greatly enhance the fertility of the soil. But the native Florida ores are poor milkers, and the whole stock is scrawny and under filled out, together with a rough pen-and-ink sketch of the premises, to be forwarded the insurance company. After the receipt of the plans and specifications, bids for the construction of the boiler will be asked for. A half dozen electrical meters were ordered from the Edison company. A raft of bills went over on account of the absence of a majority of the Finance Committee, to the November meeting. Trustee Helmsen presided, and there were present Trustees Dickel and Schneider. Absent, Schwenckert and Weisel. The Baby Show. The Orange county baby show was held at Santa Ana on Saturday morning. The audience was so large the little folks with their mothers were placed on the platform so that they would be safe from the jostling crowd. Dan Baker, who was in charge of the show, selected the following committee to award the prizes: Mrs. L. Goepper, Mrs. George W. Ford, J. A. Willson and Mit Phillips. Thirty-one babies were entered. The following prizes were awarded: Prettiest girl baby, over 9 months, Mary Feambes, $10; Lorine Opp, second, $5. Prettiest boy baby, over 9 months, Ernest Fields, first prize, $10; Eugene Trago, second, $5. Special prizes were given to the following: Alita Wattenburg, Vernon Gregg, Neal Raney, Roberta Dawes, Nellie Smith, Baby Drysmid, Vivian Cox. The prize for the oldest mother with baby under 18 months went to Mrs. N. L. Galbraith, and for the youngest mother with baby under 18 months to Mrs. H. Woodington. Reduced Freight Rates. The Southern Pacific company has announced a new rate on carload lots of freight from Smeltzer, Benedict and Los Alamitos, on the Anaheim branch, to Los Angeles of $1.60 per ton. This reduction is supplemented by a cut in the rate to Pomona, Chino, Ontario and other points in that section to $2.50 per ton. The object of the reduction is to stop freighting by team from the Peatland country. The rates make shipping by rail as cheap almost as the teamster can afford to handle potatoes and other produce inland. Fine Window Display. Harris & Falkenstein make one of the finest window displays ever seen in this city, at their establishment on Center street. It consists of a display of kid-fitting corsets, and must be seen to be appreciated. This store is constantly branching out, and now enjoys a patronage second to no store of its kind in the county. Big Buy. The Santa Fe company has purchased the Doheny interest in the wells in Soquel canyon, the price being $150,-000. Doheny owned an eighth interest in the Santa Fe wells. He is a member of the syndicate which has purchased land in Mexico for oil development purposes. Development work on the Santa Fe tract will be increased. Golden West. The Golden West Petroleum and Refining company has incorporated with a capital stock of $600,000, divided into 600,000 shares, of which amount $52,000 has been subscribed. Los Angeles will be the company's principal place of business. The directors are W. H. Brewer, John W. Kemp, Los Angeles; M. H. Dunn, J. Collins, J. S. Purdy, A. W. Freeman, F. G. McBride, D. G. McDonald and W. L. Leslie, all of Fullerton. Out Of It. The Liberty oil company has abandoned its hole in Soquel canyon after going down some 1600 feet and striking nothing better than gas. Its rig is said to be for sale. A month ago great things were expected from this well, but its stock has taken a slump off the callboard, so that it is now worth practically nothing. The company will drill in the Los Angeles field. Carbon Canyon. The Carbon Canyon Oil company, which is boring for oil on the Koster ranch in Soquel canyon, has succeeded in getting its hole cleared after five weeks' fishing for a lost bit. Water has been encountered, but it has been cashed off, and there are said to be good prospects for oil. Farmers' Club. Remember the meeting of the Farmers' club at the City Hall on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Business of importance. Large attendance expected. Chickens do well, and eggs generally sell high—are worth 25 cents per pound, and even buttermilk sells well. But it is a great bother to milk cow to fuss with and take care of them though feed can readily be grown. Leguminous plants, like cow peas, vet beans and the native beggar we furnish the very best of feed, and drawing the nitrogen from the atmosphere greatly enhance the fertility of the soil. But the native Florida ores are poor milkers, and the whole stock of cattle is scrawny and under-story from want of care in feeding and breeding. It seems to me that the pumkin and weakliest bull calves are left breeding. There is a profusion of flowers during ten months of the year. Horsemintia a great many other plants are in bloom now, and bees would consequently do well, but bee-keeping is another great bother, and besides these insects bear a bad reputation for stinging. There are a great many avenues for people willing to work. A great many people are winning money raising fruit of all kinds, vegetation and by dairying. But the average Floridan is resigned to his fate complains of the sterility of most prime lands, and every spring he leaves the woods on fire in the vain endeavor to hasten the young feed. He will wantonly destroys the annual simulations that would form humus enrich the soil. He is continually terfering with nature, and then goes whining and praying for redress God that nobody knows anything about it. If church-going and praying will do any good, Florida would be the newer State of the Union. Yours truly, HERMAN KOSTRI Smelt. Fisherman Bush received a comment of several hundred pounds smelt yesterday, which were caught Newport. The smelt caught on Orange county coast are among best fish in the California market. Bush makes a specialty of hand them on ice. Fish remain in his ket but a short while, when they grabbed up by eager customers. Local Dots. St. Michael's guild will meet in centia at the home of Mrs. Garris Thursday, November 1st. German Evangelical Lutheran vice will be held next Sunday noon at 2:30 o'clock in the Episcopal Church (Reformation festival). R.Kogler. WRITES OF FLORIDA.

O. F. court at Santa Cruz last week. Thomas Strain will pack fruit in the Ludlow packing house this season. The ball at the Masonic hall has been postponed until October 29. A number of people went to the Santa Ana fair this week from here. The surveying corps for the purpose of running lines for the new railway between Salt Lake and Los Angeles, has been camped the past week in the upper part of the valley. Several meetings have been held here lately in regard to the anti-saloon vote. A great number of the most prominent business men say they are in favor of saloons, but not as at present conducted. C. B. Huggans has sold his Belgian hare rabbitry, and a happier man is not in town. He had about fifty thoroughbred rabbits, which have cost him about $200 and trouble and care without limit. The little beasts are a nuisance. The Amerige Bros. begin work in their packing house this week and will ship several carloads of walnuts. There will be a Democratic rally in the Fullerton bank hall Saturday evening, October 27. The Bryan clubs from Anaheim, Buena Park and Fullerton will march and assist in making the meeting enthusiastic. Earl Rogers of Los Angeles will be the speaker of the evening. A large crowd is expected, and ladies are especially invited. C. B. Huggins is doing a flourishing business in his bottling works here. A wagon load of sodas and ice go to the oil wells and peatlands every day. He runs the most quiet and respectable place in Fullerton in that line. The Esperanza lodge, No. 339, of the Masonic lodge will be instituted in their temple Nov. 3, by Grand Master Fosbay. The meeting will be public. Their new hall will be dedicated the same evening. They have the largest hall in Fullerton, and it will hold a large number of people. The Masons here are happy over the fact that they have secured a charter for a Fullerton lodge. Graham & Loftus are building another rig which they hope increase their present product. They have several good wells now and lots of land which they expect to develop soon. Well No. 23 of the Santa Fe has a fine location and they expect to get an all-right well. The Olinda oil company is building HEAR OF THE WALK AROUND? The Hot-Stuff Political Demonstration the Republicans Will Have Tomorrow—Get In Line and Go Along! Tomorrow the Republicans of Orange county will pull off their long-contemplated political capsheaf of the campaign, with all its red fire trimmings and old-time enthusiasm—the old-fashioned "walk-around." Senators George C. Perkins and Thos. R. Bard will be the star performers, and will occupy seats close up to the bandwagon. Governor Gage and Congressman Needham have been invited to be present, and it is expected that if they can spare the time from their tour of the State, they will be on hand and take part in the celebration. Republicans have been talking about this grand political blowout for a month. Nothing has been said of it until all the details were complete. Now everything is in readiness, and tomorrow is the day. Everybody with a horse and wagon and a full dinner pall is invited to go along. What is the walk-around? It is, or will be, a procession of Republicans in carriages, two miles long, headed by the Santa Ana band, and escorted by a cavalcade of Rough Riders. It will start from Santa Ana at 8:30 a.m. and come to Anaheim, where forty minutes will be devoted to speechifying and jollification. Hence the route will be taken up to Fullerton, Placentia, Olive, Villa Park, El Modena, Orange, Tustin and back to Santa Ana, where a great celebration will be held in the evening. The procession will be completed by 5:30 in the afternoon. A tally-ho will be provided for the band, another for the speakers, and there will be a plenty of carriages for invited guests. Behind these carriages everybody is invited to fall in, in one time and two motions, with any sort of a vehicle they can lay their hands upon, and join the jaunt over the county. The following time card has been issued from headquarters: Arrive. Leave.

Simon Levi, the San Diego capital was in town buying produce on Thursday, and was shown about the cozy by his old-time friend, J. B Rea. W. M. Smart of Santa Ana has elected secretary of the Santa Ana Iley Irrigation company. There were dozen applicants for the position. Prof. Little of the city school re-paper upon "The Use of School Lines" at the meeting of the County Teachers' association at Santa Ana Saturday. Horace Green came over from Beach on Sunday, and returned to evening with Mrs. Green, who been for some days a guest of her high pine forests, and having at the spot we found a lake of water which empties into Peace River in the center of this lake. Some of water was bubbling up, and bathing houses and other on the place, but everything got wreck and ruin. It seems had been a great health resort for years, but has, however, already gone under and is only a picnic ground by the local town. Taking in all its advantages, a glance; the spot being an in the midst of pine forests bottoms; the air being laden with fragrance from the pines is warm and healing to the weakest climate that can hardly be anywhere in the world, and stone's throw, as it were, from setters of our population; we help thinking what a fine in it would offer to some capital company to start a big sanitarium. By the liberal use of printer's undertaking could be put on a basis in less than two years, waters have been properly found to be a cure for pism, gout and other ailments. Objectives would either be cured or new lease on life, and those with that most loathsome of diseases, nasal catarrh, would get away. These people here do not know their own natural ages and resources, and take butims to let outsiders find them. A is about as well known to the world as Central Africa, for you believe it, dear editor, that led a letter the other day from a man in Fayette County, Pennsylvanian for information about who stated that he had an article in the ANAHEIM NEWS. Most of the Florida people at the pluck, push and perseize that Californians are endowed. The last freezes have greatly aged them, and although they live in country where climate and soil rate to raise the most luxious the world, a great many have endeavored to recuperate their bodies have neither trimmed their orchards. Some people would be greatly benefited travel; they would then find that difficulties and drawbacks have to contend with. It would be good to watch how the Californiaarchists fight scale, drought, and fight successfully, too. It enough to take the world easy, little directed labor wouldonders here and benefit these greatly, although on the whole them to derive a great deal of entourage of life in their own way. It is to get along here; there are lots ofnant houses; nature has abund-provided wood and water, and the clothing is needed. Why, should they exert themselves? Kinds do well, and eggs generally are worth 25 cents per dozen Milk retails at 40 cents per galland even buttermilk sells well. Is a great bother to milk cows; with and take care of them, alf-feed can readily be grown. Innoous plants, like cow peas, veluins and the native beggar weed, is the very best of feed, and by ing the nitrogen from the atmos-greatly enhance the fertility of it. But the native Florida cows for milkers, and the whole stock is scrawny and under-sized. Masonic lodge will be instituted in their temple Nov. 3, by Grand Master Foshy. The meeting will be public.

The Olinda oil company is building two new rigs and will begin drilling at once. One of the rigs is located near the Santa Fe wells, and a good well is expected as they have a fine location. The Standard Crude Oil and Developing company, operating in La Habra valley, is down nearly 500 feet. The company has good indications of oil, and has been drilling in good sand for some time. The Liberty company has abandoned its well, and are pulling the casing. It is making arrangements for a tract of land in the Los Angeles oil field, and will drill there as soon as arrangements are completed. Mrs. August Berg went to Rialto Tuesday morning. Mrs. Berg's brother is very sick and not expected to live. The railroad through Fullerton is in excellent condition. The weeds have been cut and the tracks put in good shape. The Santa Fe road in general is in fine condition, and the tracks are smooth and level. C.W. Roach transacted business in Los Angeles Monday. Donald Starbuck, the little 2-year old son of Wm. Starbuck, died of typhoid fever Sunday night. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church Tuesday morning at 9 a.m., and the place of interment was Whittier. The people of Fullerton deeply sympathize with the parents in their bereavement. Electric Road. Talk is revived concerning the building of an electric road from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, passing Orange, this city, Fullerton and Whitier. An application has been made to Whittier trustees for a franchise for the road, and it is said the same will be done here shortly. The line from Anaheim to Los Angeles will cost $225,000, and will furnish an hour's service to and from the city with cars running at least every two hours, at a round trip of 50 or 75 cents. If rights of way can be secured, it is said the road may be in operation inside of a year. The plan as at present outlined calls for three power-houses, one at each end of the line and one midway. The midway power-house will probably be located at Whittier. Sayre is All Right. C.D.Sayre of Los Angeles was in town on Monday, accompanied by Jack Hunter of Fullerton. Mr.Sayre is a white-haired veteran of the civil war. He organized a company in his home town to go to the front, but as the regiment was about to move he was placed under arrest by the Provo-Marshal, who refused to let him go, on account of defective eyesight. “You will be blind in a month,” said the Provo-Marshal, “and I refuse to permit you to go.” Masonic lodge will be instituted in their temple Nov. 3, by Grand Master Foshy.

The people of Fullerton deeply sympathize with the parents in their bereavement. Death of Mr.Fletcher James Fletcher died at his residence on East Broadway at midnight Friday night from the results of a fall from a walnut tree while gathering nuts ten days before.

Mrs. Katie Cook-Barton, widow of the late Tom Cook of the Peat, has filed a new complaint against Mrs. Delia B. Rawson of Los Angeles. She asks the return to her of the title to a portion of the Cook ranch, which Mrs. Barton alleges in her complaint was secured through fraudulent means. Mrs. Barton some months ago instituted a similar suit against Mrs. Rawson, but it was for some reason dismissed. In the later complaint Mrs. Rawson is charged with using undue influence on the then Mrs. Cook to persuade her to deed a portion of the ranch to her, in consideration for which Mrs. Rawson was to use her influence for Mrs. Cook in the settlement of the estate. Mrs. Barton now alleges that Mrs. Rawson intimated to her that a person other than herself was believed to have been guilty of killing Tom Cook, and that there was a probability that she would be arrested as an accessory. All of which statements, Mrs. Barton claims, so preyed upon her mind that she finally yielded to the importunities of Mrs. Rawson and signed a deed to a portion of the ranch transferring the title to Mrs. Rawson.
