A LARGE MUNICIPAL OUTLAY. Upward of $2200 in Bills Allowed by the City Fathers on Tuesday Evening—Specifications for a New Boiler. The City Trustees held a meeting on Tuesday evening and transacted a volume of business while Alexander Henry's artillery awakened the echoes at the side of the City Hall and incidentally shook the building at each cannonade. The noisy ratification meeting was going on outside, and there was noise and fireworks until further orders. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for October: For water, $207.75; electric lights, $366.40; licenses, $160.50; total, $704.65; less 5 per cent commission for collection, $35.23; deposited with Treasurer, $669.-42. Delinquents collected: water, $26.15; lights, $13.70; license, $1.25; total, $41.50. Delinquents reported: water, $16.55; electric lights, $58; licenses, $3; total, $77.55. The Marshal stated the large delinquency on account of electric lights was owing to non-payment by Company E for lights in the armory. The company is not yet in receipt of its apportionment of State money, but looks for it shortly. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance of $6207.98 in bank. Clerk Merritt's monthly financial statement tallied with the Treasurer's figures. Trustee Schneider of the Committee on Public Improvements reported the joint at the power-house pit had been completed. The engineers at the power-house had asked for several loads of red gravel to be placed in portions of the floor which had not been cemented. They also desired a new burner for the Sterling boiler. With the present boiler, he said, they could not keep steam up above 75 pounds. Both requests were approved. Mr. Spencer was directed to haul the necessary gravel, and the matter of purchasing a new burner was left to the Finance Committee. Clerk Merritt submitted figures secured by him relative to the cost of enclosed arc lights for street lighting purposes. The price for these lamps is $21.50 each, and at least eight are needed. He was instructed to write other houses for prices on the same. The Clerk submitted a communica- could be a case of suspended animation in a vine root for fourteen years, but such Mr. Des Granges holds to be a fact of his own observation. We are disposed to consider it a suggestion from below that the wine interest ought to be revived in that region, and no doubt many of our readers who believe that all suggestions about the wine interest come from below, will agree with us. But what can we do with Mr. Des Grange's observation? Does any reader know of any such resurrection of a vine? Sent to Ukiah. On Friday Mrs. Joe Ruddock was examined by a commission in lunacy composed of Dr. Bickford of this city and Dr. Clark of Fullerton. She was adjudged to be afflicted with recurrent periodic insanity, and was ordered committed to the asylum at Ukiah. The unfortunate women has for years past exhibited signs of insanity. On Saturday, the 3d inst., while under a temporary delusion, she set fire to the hedge at Dr. Eddy's residence on Palm street. She was placed under arrest immediately thereafter by Constable Kuebler. He had to call in a posse and break down one of the doors of her place of abode in order to secure her. She is a woman of powerful physique, and the officers had a bad quarter of an hour before taking her into captivity. On arriving with his prisoner at Santa Ana the officer found he would have to return home with her, until such time as a commission in lunacy could inquire into her case. Drs. Bickford and Clark, being commissioned by the State Lunacy commission, investigated the case on Friday, finding her insane, as stated. On Monday morning she was again taken to Santa Ana by Constable Kuebler and conducted before Judge Ballard of the superior court for commitment. Judge Ballard ordered her committed to Ukiah. Deputy Sheriff Bush and wife took the unfortunate woman north on the afternoon train. She was taken to the asylum on the morning train. Pleasure Trip. The senior class of the high school was entertained by the Middles at the home of Miss Zeus on Saturday evening. The "high-school pleasure trip" COUNTY ELECTION BULLETINS An Eager Crowd Thirsting for News Fills the Sidewalk in Front of This Office. The election bulletins posted by the GAZETTE on Wednesday last were easily the most popular feature of a day characterized by a plentitude of patriotic fever. At 6 o'clock the returns from Anaheim and West Anaheim were bulleted. Few people were on the streets at the time, the town having been up late the night before listening to the returns from the East, which were read to an enthusiastic crowd which filled Hatfield's from pit to dome. The city count was completed about midnight, but the West Anaheim count consumed another hour. These bulletins were in hand immediately thereafter, and were posted the first thing on Wednesday morning. At 7 o'clock an eager crowd gathered to hear how the county had gone. All knew of McKinley's triumphant election (that news had come the previous evening at 7 o'clock). Now they wanted to know how the county went. "Did Needham carry the county?" asked one excited individual. "The Democrats said that rural free delivery would give the county to Crichton, but I don't believe a word of it. I think they made votes for him." The claim that the county would go for Crichton was dispelled soon after when returns from all but one precinct showed Needham's majority to be close to 500. Two years ago his majority was 283. "How did the Prohibition ordinance go?" asked another. It was not known until well along toward noon how the vote on Prohibition went, although it was pretty well settled that the ordinance had carried Many of the precinct officials failed to send in reports of the vote on Prohibition, contenting themselves with the vote on electors, Congressman and other officials. As new bulletins arrived during the day they were posted. The crowd filled the sidewalk in front of the bulletin board during the entire day, and even reappeared on Thursday morning, long before which time the returns were practically all in and the results in each case ascertained. The telephone service to La Habra Mr. Spencer was directed to haul the necessary gravel, and the matter of purchasing a new burner was left to the Finance Committee. Clerk Merritt submitted figures secured by him relative to the cost of enclosed arc lights for street lighting purposes. The price for these lamps is $21.50 each, and at least eight are needed. He was instructed to write other houses for prices on the same. The Clerk submitted a communication, accompanied by a blue print and specifications, from the Hartford Boiler Insurance company, relative to the proposed new boiler to be installed at the water works. Trustee Schneider observed the engineers at the power-house did not regard the specifications as those of a high-pressure boiler, and that is what they desire. He added that the city would have to install a new boiler before eight months, or would be compelled to operate the old boiler at its own risk, canceling the insurance. If haste were made in getting the new one in place, it could be installed in six months. The matter was left to the Committee on Public Improvements with instructions to prepare specifications for blders as soon as possible. Marshal Steadman reported the laying of water mains to the residences of O. Rennor, J. Bennerscheidt and Santos Carrisosa on Santa Ana street, and to that of B. Macari on Chestnut street. Harris & Falkenstein were made a flat rate of $25 per month for the electric lights in their store. Clerk Merritt reported that it was necessary, in order to meet interest payments and sinking fund, to transfer the following amounts from the general fund to bond funds, as follows: No. 1, $1245; No. 2, $332; No. 3, $1435.50; total, $3212.50. The amounts were ordered transferred. Bills to the amount of $2271.64 were audited and ordered paid. An invitation from the League of California Municipalities, requesting the presence of the board at the third annual convention of the league at San Francisco next month, was filed. A blue print drawing of a steel tank, from a Los Angeles firm, was submitted, it having been the firm's idea that it was the purpose of the city to erect a tank of that description at the West End. The firm had been misinformed. The purpose of the city is to utilize a second-hand tank now at the water works, at the West End for street sprinkling purposes mainly. The tank will be useful in case of fire, but it is mainly for street sprinkling purposes. The blue print and accompanying specifications were ordered filed. At the suggestion of Trustee Dickel the electric light works were ordered on until 2 o'clock, at the request of the ratification committee, the latter paying all charges. Alex Henry's cannon ripped off another salvo of artillery, and the board adjourned. There were present Trustees Helm On Monday morning she was again taken to Santa Ana by Constable Kuebler and conducted before Judge Ballard of the superior court for commitment. Judge Ballard ordered her committed to Ukiah. Deputy Sheriff Bush and wife took the unfortunate woman north on the afternoon train. She was taken to the asylum on the morning train. Pleasure Trip. The senior class of the high school was entertained by the Middles at the home of Miss Zeus on Saturday evening. The "high-school pleasure trip" was the feature of the evening, it being a guessing game, as follows: The party will leave 416 Broadway, Anaheim, at 8:15 p.m., Saturday, November 10, 1900, going as far north as the State of Washington, and thence east as far as Massachusetts, returning via the southern route, and arriving at 8:45 p.m. the same evening.

Trains to Los Angeles pass this point at 7:55 a.m., 9:57 a.m., 12:04 p.m. and 5:05 p.m. Southbound trains pass this point as follows: 9:36 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 2:50 p.m. and 5:54 p.m. The 12:04 northbound and 11:45 southbound are daily except Sunday. Political second-hand tank now at the water works, at the West End for street sprinkling purposes mainly. The tank will be useful in case of fire, but it is mainly for street sprinkling purposes. The blue print and accompanying specifications were ordered filed. At the suggestion of Trustee Dickel the electric light works were ordered on until 2 o'clock, at the request of the ratification committee, the latter paying all charges. Alex. Henry's cannon ripped off another salvo of artillery, and the board adjourned. There were present Trustees Helmsen, Schwenckert, Schneider and Dickel. Absent, Weisel. Lost Team. When W. F. Middleham went to get his horse and buggy, which he had hitched at the side of Charley Bauer's blacksmith shop, on Tuesday evening, at 10 o'clock, he found the horse had broken the rope and run away. He is of the opinion the animal was frightened by a falling rocket. He looked for it until 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning, but failed to find it. Mr. Middleham is painting Mr. Sherwood's new residence at Fullerton, and was yesterday considerably inconvenienced by the loss of the rig. Death. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Howard, and grandchild of C. H. Schaefer, died at the family home on South Los Angeles street on Sunday, Interment took place on Monday. Des Granges' Discovery. Pacific Rural Press. Speaking of the Anaheim district, we remember that when we were at Fullerton recently we met Mr. Otto Des Granges, who reported a phenomenon which may be an augury if nothing more. He told us that old vine roots remaining from stumps cut out below the reach of the plow in 1886, because of the vine disease, were now seeping up strong canes. He encountered them in considerable numbers this year when working the ground for other crops. He is sure that they have no appeared above the surface before since the time the old vines were dug out. This seems to be rather a hard thing to believe on the face of it—that there New Time Table. The Santa Fe company has a new time table, which went into effect on Monday. A new train to and from Los Angeles daily has been put on. Trains to Los Angeles pass this point at 7:55 a.m., 9:57 a.m., 12:04 p.m. and 5:05 p.m. Southbound trains pass this point as follows: 9:36 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 2:50 p.m. and 5:54 p.m. The 12:04 northbound and 11:45 southbound are daily except Sunday. Political. Watsonville Pajaronian. For the past ten years Humboldt county, with a population but slightly in excess of that of Santa Cruz county, has had a Senator and two Assemblymen; Solano county, with about 1500 more population than Santa Cruz county, has had a Senator; and but one Senator has been given to the district made up of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties, and which has a population greater than Humboldt and Solano counties combined, with a Senator given to each. The congressional apportionment is apt to divide the State into three districts of large territory and four districts of small area. A gain in Congressmen for California is improbable under any reasonable apportionment which Congress may make this winter. California will have seven Congressmen. Los Angeles has not enough population for one district, and Orange and San Diego counties, or Orange and Ventura counties will be counted with her in one district. Local Dots. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Deakins at their home on Broadway last Thursday. The Fraternal Aid association will have nominations of officers at its meeting next Thursday evening, Nov. 22. Fortune Telling! Dora Randolph has located at the corner of Cypress and Emily streets, across from the high school, and can tell your name and age correctly by the stars and planets. Will give you information in regard to your love, business, oil and mining affairs. Price, 25 cents. Hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Don't fail to see her. Angeles on Saturday. He has completed a $20,000 job remodeling California Bank in Los Angeles, and will this week take on a contract for construction of a cement septic tank the Soldiers' Home at Santa Monica length by 20 in width. The tank is utilizing the sewage from the Hoover and making it available for irrigation purposes. Mr. Groat was the contractor for construction of the dock thrown across the Bolsa Chica channel by the club of that name, and he informs that the settlers of that section were at first disposed to regard the dock as interfering with the drainage of their lands, are now spoken in favor of it, and speak of company in terms of praise. The destruction of the dock was no chap play. It was washed out twice by tides, which carried away the pilings as though they were so many to picks. During the work Groat saw many sleepless nights conjuring plans to get the better of the way and finally succeeded. The job is doubtedly the best of its kind in State. Groat looks as if Prosperity struck him with a dull resounding whack, whereat his many friends rejoiced in exceeding great measures. New Officers. Chispa Chapter, No. 151, O. E. Sits meeting on Monday evening eleven following officers to serve for ensuing year: Mrs. Inez L. Worthy Matron; Geo. S. Eddy, W Patron; Mrs. Aliza H. Wallop, clate Matron; Joseph Helmsen, Secretary; A. S. Bradford, Treasurer; Margaret C. Higgins, Conductor; Mrs. Jennie D. Lane, Asssociate ductress. Had to Abandon. The Brea Canyon Oil company compelled to abandon its No. 8 hole in the hole. The cave-in in to have been caused by a strong gas which blew sand and gravel the hole, this choking it up. A location has been made near the dened well and drilling will be as soon as the rig can be placed position. SELECTION BULLETINS Town Thirsting for News Fills Park in Front of This Office. On bulletins posted by the Wednesday last were easterly popular feature of a day led by a plentitude of patriotic rock the returns from Ana-West Anaheim were bullew people were on the time, the town having the night before listening horns from the East, which to an enthusiastic crowd and Hatfield's from pit to account was completed about out the West Anaheim count another hour. These bullew hand immediately there-were posted the first thing day morning. Clock an eager crowd gathered by the county had gone. All McKinley's triumphant elec-news had come the previous 7 o'clock). Now they know how the county went. Redham carry the county?" he excited individual. "The said that rural free delivery the county to Crichton, but leave a word of it. I think votes for him." In that the county would go on was dispelled soon after, runs from all but one precinct Redham's majority to be 500. Two years ago his was 283. And the Prohibition ordinance another. Not known until well along on how the vote on Prohibi-although it was pretty well at the ordinance had carried the precinct officials failed to reports of the vote on Prohibi-menting themselves with the electors, Congressman and clauses. Bulletins arrived during the were posted. The crowd filled park in front of the bulletin ring the entire day, and even on Thursday morning, long which time the returns were all in and the results in ascertained. Phone service to La Habra IT WAS A NOISY RATIFICATION. Town Turned Over to the Republican Legions on Tuesday Evening, When McKinley's Election was Appropriately Ratified. That was a noisy ratification meeting on Tuesday evening. The small boy, and others not so small, were out with horns of all sizes and descriptions, and each one sought to make his more discordant than the other. They all seemed to succeed exceedingly well. Sky rockets were sent up from the vacant lot at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, and red fire glowed from in front of many a business place. Strings of Japanese lanterns were suspended aloft at the junction of Center and Los Angeles streets, giving the locality a picturesque appearance. The never-ending pop of the fire cracker filled the air, and the shout of the small boy was heard on every side. A large crowd gathered in town to witness the fireworks and listen to the music in the bandstand. Alexander Henry's cannon contributed its quota to the jollification. Shortly after 8 o'clock a large crowd gathered about the bandstand to hear the speaking. C. C. Chapman of Placentia was chosen to preside, and made a neat speech in accepting the honor. The principal speech was made by O. Z. Hubbel of North Ontario. Addresses were also made by Z. B. West, Orator Shaw, Mr. Langley all of Santa Ana and Judge Shanley of this city. Unbounded enthusiasm prevailed, and there was noise enough to satisfy the captiousous. A social dance was enjoyed by the young folks at the Opera-house. On the Rampage. When the jollification was at its highest on Tuesday evening, a man attired in a cowboy suit, with large mus-taches and a brace of pistols strapped to his side, walked into a crowded down-town resort and asked everybody up to have a glass of—cold tea. When they complied he jumped upon the counter and began firing blank cartridges at them right and left. He said he was a rough rider, and was in favor of Prosperity and Expansion. NEWSY NOTES OF FULLERTON (From Our Regular Correspondent.) The Fullerton-Riverside Oil company has its machinery on the ground and is ready to begin drilling on its land at the foot of Box Springs, in Riverside county, about four miles east of Riverside. This company was reported to be in the Fullerton field, but facts show that it is many miles east and not even in Orange county. If oil is struck there it will open up an entirely new territory, and other companies will begin operations in that field. It is said drilling began last Monday. The company claims to have good indications of oil, and has had confidence enough to put up most of the money itself, but some stock was sold. The oil fields here are on the boom, and many more wells are being drilled. Several new sites were laid out last week, and several new wells will start to drill this week. The Santa Fe company will begin drilling 10 new wells at once. The machinery has been ordered, and as soon as it arrives 40 more men will be put to work, and as many more will be employed on other new wells. The Union Oil company is erecting several new derricks, and is now working three new wells. The company has several wells pumping, and several more will be put to pump soon. This company has some fine and largely developed territory. A new company makes its appearance here this week. The Lexington Oil company has secured 450 acres of good oil land in the Santa Fe district, and will begin operations immediately. A test well will first be put down, and if oil is struck several more wells will be drilled, employing about 50 men regularly at wages of from $2 to $6 per day, and the same rates at night. The Fullerton Consolidated Oil company is arranging to put down some new wells near the Santa Fe wells. The company has several fine producing wells and the daily shipments are large and regular. They have one of the best locations in this field, and the stock is going up fast. It now sells on 'change at 63. The Fay Fruit company shipped two carloads of early oranges to Chicago and other Eastern points Saturday. They will ship several more care this week. G. W. Sherwood was in town for Fullerton on Tuesday evening attending the ratification. His new deference, which takes the place of the recently destroyed by fire, is being plastered and painted, and will soon ready for occupancy. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Holcom-Fullerton have a fine new baby boo their home. The little chap arrive-time to vote, but owing to the elec-excitement mention of his arrival On the Rampage. When the jollification was at its highest on Tuesday evening, a man attired in a cowboy suit, with large mus-taches and a brace of pistols strapped to his side, walked into a crowded down-town resort and asked everybody up to have a glass of cold tea. When they complied he jumped upon the counter and began firing blank cartridges at them right and left. He said he was a rough rider, and was in favor of Prosperity and Expansion. Some timid folks from the rural districts were frightened into hysterics. The man began another fusillade of shots, and all hands sought to hustle to cover. It was all explained shortly, when the discovery was made that the cowboy was Butcher Fleischmann celebrating along with the rest of the boys at the ratification meeting. Fleischmann caused consternation in several places before the fun was all over. Later he paid an election bet wheeling Louie Kroeger in a barrow along Center street, while the West Anaheim brass band furnished the music. Fleischmann bet on Bryan, and took this means of getting even on himself. PLACENTIA ITEMS. A lecture will be given in Placentia hall Nov. 28th by Mr. Strain. The subject, "A Trip to Ireland and England," will be illustrated by over a hundred magic-lantern views, among them being one of President McKinley's father's home place in Ireland. The music will be furnished by the Crowther orchestra. This will be the first time this orchestra has played since the return of Edgar Crowther from Boston, where he has been studying the violin under one of the best professors there. The small admission of 10 and 15 cents will be charged in order to finish paying off the piano debt. We hope the people will turn out en masse. It has been reported that James Forbes had his place on the market for $4000, but the report is without foundation. Mr. Forbes says he could not be induced to sell it for $10,000. Mr. and Mrs. Fay Dunham are rejoicing over the arrival of a son. The walnut crop will be all cleaned up this week. Mrs. George Young moved to the Santa Fe oil wells this week. Mrs. Wright, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Gilman, is very ill. Tommy Strain came home from Throop institute last week to vote. Mr. Crowther and daughter went to hear Melba in opera at Los Angeles last Friday. Mr. McFadden was in Los Angeles Wednesday. A large acreage is being planted to cabbage. The Baptist young folks are going to give a social for the benefit of a needy family at wages or from public day, and the same rates at night. The Fullerton Consolidated Oil company is arranging to put down some new wells near the Santa Fe wells. The company has several fine producing wells and the daily shipments are large and regular. They have one of the best locations in this field, and the stock is going up fast. It now sells on 'change at 63. The Fay Fruit company shipped two carloads of early oranges to Chicago and other Eastern points Saturday. They will ship several more care this week. C. B. Huggans, who has been very ill lately, is much improved and able to be around. C. W. Roach sold 11,000 shares of oil stock in Los Angeles Saturday for various oil companies of this section, including the Juanita Oil company, which is starting work on its land in Santa Barbara county. Nineteen carloads of walnuts were shipped East last week. The walnut season is about over, and some of the packing-houses will close about the 15th inst. The orange crop is ripening fast, and a large crop will be shipped. The campers are beginning to move away, walnut picking having been nearly finished. Several families from San Diego and other distant points have been working here. Mr. Landreth has erected a nice cottage on Commonwealth avenue, and will move into it this week. It is cheaper to build than to rent houses here, as houses for rent are held on par with gold, and it takes gold to get any kind of dwelling-house. Well No. 10 of the Graham & Loft Oil company, which is down 700 feet and in good oil sand, had its derrick entirely burned Sunday. No one knows how the fire started, and no person was working at the time. There was not supposed to have been any fire, and there was very little gas. The derrick will be rebuilt at once and drilling resumed. Several of the oil-well boys spent Sunday in Los Angeles as usual. The Santa Fe company is drilling in its well No. 22 and a fine well is expected, as it is only about 100 feet from Hall's well No. 1, which is almost a gusher and at one time was a regularly flowing well. Several wells will be drilled there. There is a "happy" future in store for Anaheim as soon as Fullerton goes "dry." Some business men here may move to Anaheim, including the livery stables and other business houses. They seem to think that Fullerton "dry" means Fullerton "dead." Many other people think the other way, but we do know that "blind pigs" and "side-door joints" will run anyhow. Orange shipping will soon begin here in earnest. About 700 carloads will be shipped. Many men will be required to handle the large crop this year. Early oranges are ripening fast, and are large and sweet. Trees are loaded to the breaking point. One cluster of five oranges weighed 41 pounds. A vigorous and all-around kick is regularly at wages or from public day, and the same rates at night.

The Fay Fruit company shipped two carloads of early oranges to Chicago and other Eastern points Saturday. They will ship several more care this week. C.B.Houggan, who has been very ill lately, is much improved and able to be around. C.W.Roach sold 11,000 shares of oil stock in Los Angeles Saturday for various oil companies of this section, including the Juanita Oil company, which is starting work on its land in Santa Barbara county. Nineteen carloads of walnuts were shipped East last week. The walnut season is about over, and some of the packing-houses will close about the 15th inst. The orange crop is ripening fast, and a large crop will be shipped. The campers are beginning to move away, walnut picking having been nearly finished. Several families from San Diego and other distant points have been working here. Mr.Landreth has erected a nice cottage on Commonwealth avenue, and will move into it this week. It is cheaper to build than to rent houses here, as houses for rent are held on par with gold, and it takes gold to get any kind of dwelling-house. Well No. 10 of the Graham & Loft Oil company, which is down 700 feet and in good oil sand, had its derrick entirely burned Sunday. No one knows how the fire started, and no person was working at the time. There was not supposed to have been any fire, and there was very little gas. The derrick will be rebuilt at once and drilling resumed. Several of the oil-well boys spent Sunday in Los Angeles as usual. The Santa Fe company is drilling in its well No. 22 and a fine well is expected, as it is only about 100 feet from Hall's well No. 1, which is almost a gusher and at one time was a regularly flowing well. Several wells will be drilled there. There is a "happy" future in store for Anaheim as soon as Fullerton goes "dry." Some business men here may move to Anaheim, including the livery stables and other business houses. They seem to think that Fullerton "dry" means Fullerton "dead." Many other people think the other way, but we do know that "blind pigs" and "side-door joints" will run anyhow. Orange shipping will soon begin here in earnest. About 700 carloads will be shipped. Many men will be required to handle the large crop this year. Early oranges are ripening fast, and are large和 sweet.Trees are loaded to the breaking point.One cluster of five oranges weighed 41 pounds.A vigorous and all-around kick is regularly at wages or from

The Brea Canyon Oil company waselled to abandon its No. 8 well to a cave-in which caught the hole. The cave-in is said have been caused by a strong flow of blew sand and gravel into hole, this choking it up.

Many men will be required to handle the large crop this year. Early oranges are ripening fast, and are large and sweet. Trees are loaded to the breaking point. One cluster of five oranges weighed 4½ pounds. A vigorous and all-around kick is made here by the people using electric lights. They claim that charges are outrageous, these lights costing more than any other kind of light ever cost. The electric light company has no competition, and charges rates it pleases with no favors and poor service. Water service is better than it has been for years. There is more water and better pipe lines, but owing to the lay of the land here there is little pressure. The only pressure is from an elevated tank, but there is no complaint, as it is gradually getting better. A sewer system is badly needed. Preparations are being made to plant a large cabbage crop this year. Land is now being watered. Hugo Wetzel transacted business in Los Angeles Tuesday. Joseph Goodman was in Los Angeles Monday on business matters. Roads are in good condition. The Santa Ana wind blew the dust off, and the sprinkler keeps them hard.
