THAT LOST CERTIFICATE. Herr Nebelung Uses Water for Twenty Years on Stock for Which He Holds No Certificate. At the meeting of the water board on Saturday Secretary Krick read a communication from M. Nebelung reciting the fact that the certificate to 18 shares of stock standing in his name had either been lost or had never been issued to him. Nebelung was present and supplemented his communication by the statement that he had no knowledge of ever having the certificate in his possession. The stub showed no receipt had been signed for the stock. All the other stubs in the book, so far as he had examined them, were properly signed by the name of the shareholder owning the certificate, but his name did not appear upon his stub. There might be other unsigned stubs; he did not know; but all of them looked over by him were properly signed. He had had a certificate of stock in the North Anaheim canal, which he surrendered in 1883, in exchange for his present stock, but he could not say whether he ever had this stock in his possession. He therefore asked that a duplicate certificate be issued to him. Mr. Crowther (looking up in astonishment)—And you have been using water on this stock? Nebelung—For the last twenty years I have been using water on it. The original must have been issued, but to whom? The company has no proof it was ever issued to me, and I do not remember that I ever had it in my possession. Mr. Crowther—The board might issue a duplicate on the execution of an indemnity bond by yourself. Nebelung—The company having no proof that I ever had the stock, I do not see how it can exact a bond for a duplicate. Mr. Pierotti thought the matter had best be referred to the attorney, and it was so ordered. Supt. Woodward made a report of the ditch system, saying many of the canals were in good condition, while others needed grading. He was at work upon them and was putting them in good condition as fast as he could. Mr. Sherwood asked how about the Yorba flume. Supt. Woodward said it was in bad condition. Nine years ago it was thought the flume could not stand anhydrous. of the office be in charge of the Finance committee, who shall see that they are properly preserved, and to be convenient for reference at all times by the shareholders. Mr. Bradford looked up in surprise and said the records of the office should be in charge of the secretary. Mr. Pierotti also thought that by the terms of the by-laws the secretary was in charge of the office, and that no change should be made. Mr. Adams moved to amend by having the Finance committee co-operate with the secretary in arranging the maps and records of the office in such shape as to be convenient for reference by the stockholders. Sherwood withdrew his resolution and the amendment offered by Adams was adopted. Secretary Krick filed his bond, in the sum of $2000, with Wm. Crowther and A. S. Bradford as sureties. Treasurer Cahen filed his bond, in the sum of $5000, with Richard Melrose and John Hartung as sureties. No executive session. Adjourned. BELLES AND BEAUX OF SWELLDOM. Young Ladies of the T. U. C. Entertain Their Friends at a Ball St. Valentine's Evening. The Hotel Del Campo was the scene of a brilliant gathering of Anaheim's smart set on St. Valentine's eve, when the members of that popular club, the T. U. C.'s, entertained their friends with a ball. Everyone had been in pleasant anticipation of this dance, and never were the young ladies of Anaheim's Four Hundred more resplendent. Pretty costumes were everywhere to be seen, and the ball will long be remembered as the swellest social function ever given in Anaheim. No amount of forethought and planning had been spared by the members of the club to arrange a party finished in detail and excellent in originality. In the large entrance hall palms were placed along the walls, making a charming appearance. The ball-room was gay with palms and smilax, while innumerable hearts were fastened to tennis nets looped on the walls. The mystical letters, T. U. C., made of red hearts, appeared in various places. Features which added much to the enjoyment of the evening were the cosy nooks, bewitchingly tempting to the belle weaviness of the ball-room, and irrelevant realty purchases. Mr. Barborka Buys the Melrose Property on Center Street—Desires Also to Buy the Dreyfus Property. M. Barborka, who arrived here with his family last week from Fresno, yesterday purchased the Melrose property on Center street, having a frontage of 75 feet. He will occupy the premises now occupied by Mr. Melrose as a jewelry store. Contractor McWilliams was employed to enlarge the windows and make other necessary alterations in the building. Mr. Barborka has also in contemplation the purchase of the Dreyfus property, east of the Schindler building. In successful in its purchase, he will erect a two-story brick. Mr. Barborka was compelled to leave Fresno on account of the malaria and gave up a lucrative business for the betterment of his health. Since coming to Anaheim he has benefited greatly in our genial climate that he has decided to permanently remain and go into business. He will have his goods displayed by the 1st of March, or immediately thereafter. Anaheim has recently had some desirable additions to her population among whom Mr. Barborka and his family must be recorded. Baok from Kansas. Joe Reid arrived from Kansas on Tuesday's afternoon train, after an absence of four years. Joe reports matters lively in Mrs. Nation's State, and says the old lady has all the saloon men scared so that they begin saying their prayers whenever they see her coming. He never saw Carrie, but her influence is felt all over the State. Kansas is supposed to be a Prohibition State, yet bars run wide open and drug stores do a rushing business. Every peace officer on being sworn makes oath that he will destroy all goods or fixtures whenever he runs across any of them. This is the law under which Mrs. Nation is operating and she claims that she has not obeyed Lord but the law on her side. She started out on her crusade two months ago, and has gone up and down State smashing "joints." Joe has married since he left Anaheim, and has a baby 14 months old. His wife and child remain with her folks in Kansas, while he has come Southern California to find a place to locate permanently. He says he would live in Southern California t Mr. Pierotti thought the matter had best be referred to the attorney, and it was so ordered. Supt. Woodward made a report of the ditch system, saying many of the canals were in good condition, while others needed grading. He was at work upon them and was putting them in good condition as fast as he could. Mr. Sherwood asked how about the Yorba flume. Supt. Woodward said it was in bad condition. Nine years ago it was thought the flume could not stand another year. It had stood all these years, but he doubted if it would stand much longer. He reported that Felipe Yorba had asked that a gate be put in the ditch at Basten's, he having purchased that place, and that the Yorba water be delivered there. Felipe offered to pay half the cost of the lumber and put the gate in at his own cost. The matter was, on suggestion of Mr. Pierotti, referred to the board, as a whole, which resolved to go up the river on Monday to view the works. Mr. Steward reported that he and Mr. Sherwood had gone over the reservoir tract in company of Mr. Eymann, who desired to lease the tract for oil development purposes. He reported that the committee was of opinion that only 40 acres be leased to Eymann, instead of 400 acres. Then, if oil were struck, the company would not be tied up for the whole tract, but might be able to lease the other portions of it more advantageously. Therefore the committee did not consider it proper to give Eymann a lease on the whole tract. The report was adopted and the committee continued. The board voted to give Eymann permission to pick out any forty acres in the tract, the same to be leased to him. Eymann came in later and said he was rather surprised to learn of the nature of the committee's report. He could not take the matter up as outlined by the committee. Forty acres was too small a tract, and he declined to enter into a lease for it. He asked for a further conference with the committee, which was granted. Mr. Smith suggested that Mr. Eymann pay for all necessary expenses. This was agreed to. Mr. Crowther said if oil was developed in the tract, the company might get enough money out of it to cement the main canal. J. N. Nenno wrote asking that the ditch on his east line be cemented. He agreed to haul half the back filling and all the cement and gravel. To the Ditch committee. Mr. Steward spoke of the necessity for furnishing non-residents with statements as to the amount of water delivered upon their stock. Many local irrigators had also spoken to him regarding the matter, and he considered it a good idea to have statements issued, say, every three months, notifying stockholders how their accounts stood. The stockholders are themselves to blame largely for this state of not see how it can exact a bond for a duplicate. No amount of forethought and planning had been spared by the members of the club to arrange a party finished in detail and excellent in originality. In the large entrance hall palms were placed along the walls, making a charming appearance. The ball-room was gay with palms and smillax, while innumerable hearts were fastened to tennis nets looped on the walls. The mystical letters, T. U. C., made of red hearts, appeared in various places. Features which added much to the enjoyment of the evening were the cozy nooks, bewitchingly tempting to the belle weary of the ball-room, and irresistibly inviting to the waltzing beau who had words best said out of range of dance music. The grand march was led by the hostesses, all charmingly attired in white. They were followed by their escorts, and then came the guests. Dancing was continued until two o'clock. The music of the orchestra was entrancing. Those present went away with the sincere desire that these young ladies should give another party before long. Orangethorpe. Last Saturday evening, as two young ladies were bicycling down Orange-thorpe avenue, they caused a horse to become frightened and throw two occupants out. Neither person was hurt. The Misses Edith Simpson and Florence Hedges spent Friday night with Miss Edith Spencer, who celebrated her sixteenth birthday. A horse and buggy owned by John Bonnet, which was tied in Fullerton, ran away, but fortunately it was caught before anything was damaged. Seven bright young girls of Fullerton met at the home of Miss Edith Spencer to become members of the "R.T.C." club. The following were initiated: Miss Edith Simpson, president; Florence Hedges, vice-president; Laura Gage, treasurer; May Sheppard, secretary; Edith Spencer, guide; Carrie Sheppard, Katharine Brown. Next meeting to be held at the home of the Misses Sheppard, Fullerton. COULDN'T LOSE NEBELUNG. The Board of Audit began its labors upon the books and accounts in the water office on Thursday morning. The members appointed at the stockholders' meeting were: Alex Wright, Ed American and Otto Rust. The latter gentleman finds it impossible to serve, and Max Nebelung was secured to act in his stead. The board will be at it all this week, and probably part of next. The latest in Belts at Harris & Falkenstein. Honey. Prospects for an immense crop of honey in San Diego county this year, according to advises received from there, are excellent. It will need only a few laite rains to give the county the biggest honey crop that it has ever had. The season for taking off honey usually does not open until May, but the bees are already at work on the blossoms of the manzanita and greasewood bushes. Every peace officer on duty makes oak or fixtures whenever he runs across any of them. This is the law under which Mrs. Nation is operating and she claims that she has not on the Lord but the law on her side. She started out on her crusade two months ago, and has gone up and down State smashing "joint." Joe has married since he left Ahelm, and has a baby 14 months old. His wife and child remain with the folks in Kansas, while he has come Southern California to find a place where permanently. He says he would rather live in Southern California than any other place in the country, will probably take up his residence Anselmim. He has been putting time since his arrival shaking hands with old friends. FULLERTON. The roads are getting in better order, and hauling oranges has begun All the packing houses are beginning work. The Montezuma Oil company is due 1065 feet with its well near Rink and has some indications of oil. The Menges Oil company is due 1200 feet with its well at the mouth Brea canyon. They have some oil a good well is expected. The washouts on the Santa Fe to the oil well have been repaired shipping resumed. J. A. Collins, foreman of the builders, will move his family from Bernardino here this week. The Brea Canyon Oil company completed its pipe line to the Santa Wells and will load its oil there by cranes on the Santa Fe spur. The Olinda Oil company is drilled its fourth well. Wells Nos. 1 a have been abandoned; Nos. 3 and drilling; No. 3 is about two-tone. The Lexington Oil company expects to begin drilling in the hills This company, which is a close poration, owns 40 acres of good land. Several other companies begin drilling here shortly. Bolsa Drainage Ditch The Bolsa drainage ditch troubled broken out in a new form. Not ago suit was brought by a number property owners in the district to join Tax Collector Robinson from lecting the assessments levied them by the district. This action virtually thrown out of court by Ballard, and under the court rulings tax collector proceeded as required law in the collection of the assessments by advertising that lands would be sold in the usual way February 18. Meantime many delinquents paid under protest, and the number E.P. Justus, who now brought suit against Tax Collector Robinson to compel him turn the money. The summons served on Rob was turned over to the directors' district, who have taken up his form. The district spent in defending the former suit and ingoring other expenses incurred through J. N. Nenno wrote asking that the ditch on his east line be cemented. He agreed to haul half the back filling and all the cement and gravel. To the Ditch committee. Mr. Steward spoke of the necessity for furnishing non-residents with statements as to the amount of water delivered upon their stock. Many local irrigators had also spoken to him regarding the matter, and he considered it a good idea to have statements issued, say, every three months, notifying stockholders how their accounts stood. The stockholders are themselves to blame largely for this state of uncertainty regarding their accounts in the water ledger, and the issuance of these statements might be of material assistance to them and the company. Mr. Bradford thought that while this might be a good scheme, it might be putting too much work upon the secretary. Mr. Steward said the statements might be mailed once a month, a third of the stockholders to be notified of the condition of their accounts each time. Mr. Pierotti—You couldn't get Blennerhassett to do that. Mr. Smith said zanjeros ought to be provided with water books, so that irrigators might be charged for water when it was delivered to them. Mr. Pierotti said the zanjeros had no time for doing such work. Mr. Sherwood said a copy of the daily report of delivery of water should be placed at some point at Fullerton for the information of irrigators at that point. The chair appointed Sherwood, Smith and Steward a committee to investigate the matter and inquire as to a suitable place for such report. Mr. Sherwood asked relative to the duties of zanjeros, if they have any, except to draw their salary, when the water was out of the ditches. Supt. Woodward said the zanjeros were working right along. Mr. Pierotti said the zanjeros are worked harder when water is out of the ditches than at any other time. It was thus when he was zanjero, and so far as he could see there had been no change in the practice. Mr. Sherwood moved that the records Honey. Prospects for an immense crop of honey in San Diego county this year, according to advices received from there, are excellent. It will need only a few late rains to give the county the biggest honey erop that it has ever had. The season for taking off honey usually does not open until May, but the bees are already at work on the blossoms of the manzanita and greasewood bushes, and though most of what is now being made is for the bee's own consumption indications are that the latter part of April will see the commencement of the honey harvest. The harvest keeps up until the bee feed gives out, and with the heavy fall of rain during the past two or three weeks it seems likely that the season will last even beyond the usual limits this year. Supervisors. The board of supervisors met at Santa Ana on Tuesday. The committee on finance from the local Christian Endeavor societies appeared before the board asking for an appropriation to assist in meeting the expenses of the State convention, which is to held in Santa Ana in May. The supervisors appropriated $200, which swells the total fund to $600. Bids for building the retaining wall around the courthouse grounds were taken up and the contract was awarded to Grouard & Young at $1106.86 for imitation stone, with the provision that to the specifications be added an asphaltum back sufficient to prevent any seepage. The work is to be completed by April 15. Bids for furnishing the courthouse were next taken up and occupied the balance of the day. There were five bidders, as follows: J. M. Griffith company, Parcello-Greenwood company, C. F. Weber & Co., Fuller Desk company, and Yawman-Eble Manufacturing company, the last four of San Francisco. Gold Triminings and Buttons at Harris & Falkenstein. THE REALTY PURCHASE. Borka Buys the Melrose Property Inter Street—Desires Also to buy the Dreyfus Property.

McWilliams was employed in the windows and make other alterations in the building. Borka has also in contemplapurchase of the Dreyfus propof the Schindler building.

He says he would live in Southern California than COLD WEATHER AT DAWSON. A.D. Porter Writes Saying the Thermometer Has Fallen 52 Degrees Below Zero, and He Thinks They'll Have Cold Weather. Frank Stone has received the following letter from A.D. Porter, who is engaged at the carpenter business at Dawson, and has kindly consented to our publishing it: DAWSON CITY, N.W.T., {December 5th, 1900} FRIEND STONE:—I will write you a few lines tonight, just to let you know that I am still alive. I suppose you did not get my last letter, or at least not in time to answer before the river closed up. The river closed the 6th of November this year, which was somewhat later than usual. The trail is very good shape now, I hear, so we expect our mail regularly—at least once a week. It does not take much, if any, longer for mail to come in now than during the summer. The first stage left today for the outside, taking mail also. I understand the intention is to have regular stage service all winter, driving day and night. The fare from here to White Horse is $150; from there to Skaguay, $40 more. I did have some idea of coming out during the winter, but have given it up. I wanted to bring in some foot-power machines, but I guess I can send for them and have them in some time next summer; could make some money this winter if I had them now. As it is, I am working by the hour—9 hours a day at $1 per hour. Guess I will be employed all winter. Am working in a mill, where we have electric power. We have not many machines, but they help us somewhat. Lumber is rather high here, the native article being held at $90 to $125 per thousand, redwood and Oregon pine $250, and hardwood from $500 to $1000. Hardware and glass are about as high in proportion as lumber; so you can see that to build here costs money. I have done very well this summer, but hope to do better the coming one, as I am acquainted now and know better what to do. The indications for next year are good. Operations will commence as soon as men can work outside; in fact, a little sooner. I think I will have a chance as boss for two men, but think I will work for myself. We are having some very nice winners now—52 degrees below REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. For the Week Ending February 18, 1901 Furnished by the Orange County Title Company, Santa Ana. Theodore W.

We are having some very nice winter weather now—52 degrees below zero yesterday, and we expect it to turn cold soon. Have seen several frozen noses, and heard that a couple of men had frozen to death down the river. I have not minded the cold as yet, and think I will stand it all right. You will perhaps have seen Charlie Rogers before this reaches you, and he can't tell you more about this country than I can write. He left here the 20th of last month, and expected to be in Anaheim about the 20th of this month.

Let me know what you are doing, and if you should think of coming up here next spring I can tell you what the prospects will be for the summer; as for employment during the winter, there is work for but few men, and they must be able to do almost anything to be steadily engaged. I have not been out on the creeks at all, but don't think the chances there are good. I have heard nothing from Anaheim since your letter, so you can guess how anxious I am to hear from you again. Give my best regards to my friends, and tell me all the news. Would like very much to be with you Christmas, but can only be there in the spirit. Hoping this will find you in good health and doing well, I will close. As ever, yours truly, A. D. PORTER Reception.

Just at the close of the supper Past President Dr. G S Eddy arose and in a few apt words presented a handsome silver service to Mr. Eymann and wife, from the lodge.

Salvin arrived in Santa Ana some days ago from the Rose mines, in the mountains forty-five miles from Victor, where he has been located for several months. A heavy snowstorm hit in, and seeing that provisions in camp could not last, Salvin and eight others set out for supplies. The snow was from four to five feet deep and the thirty made their way with difficulty, the first four miles being covered in as many hours. It required fourteen hours to make the next six miles, which took them out of the snow and down to the desert, with a thirty-five mile ramp to Victor still ahead of them. This required two days more, and had they not been overtaken by a springagon three miles from Victor which caused them the balance of the distance, Salvin doubts if the party would have reached it. They were completely exhausted. Dime Social.
