A CONSIDERABLE TO-DO has resulted from the publication of the Board of Audit's report, showing first, a discrepancy in the accounts of Secretary Blennerhassett of some $280; and, second, that daily reports of zanjeros and stubs of water-sale receipts have disappeared. The Board of Audit reports: We have been met by a very unforeseen and perplexing state of affairs as concerns the books, papers and vouchers of the Secretary's office. All zanjeros' daily reports of delivery of water to consumers prior to January 1, 1900, have disappeared, as have also all stubs of water-sale receipts and stubs of assessment receipts prior to January 1, 1901, and canceled certificates of stock for the transfers for the past year or more, thus rendering certain investigations which we desire to make to a certain extent impossible. A comparison of our trial balance with that of the expert will show a difference in bills payable of $50, the result of overpayment on a note of T. Flotow, No. 240, which amount we have charged to W. H. Blennerhassett. Our investigation thus far results in charges to account of W. H. Blennerhassett as follows: To bills payable, Flotow ... $50.00 Assessment, 1900 ... 100.00 Assessment, ten shares, W. F. Botsford, 1899 ... 25.00 Assessment on delinquent stock, sold December 18, 1899 ... 55.00 Assessment, 1888, W. F. Botsford, ten shares ... 10.00 Account William Crumly ... 4.25 Account L. D. Bloomstrom ... 6.25 Delinquent costs, 1899 ... 17.50 Delinquent costs, 1900 ... 18.50 We believe much of this is due to carelessness, rather than a disposition to defraud on the part of the retiring Secretary. The destroyed stubs and zanjeros' daily reports have all been exported by past Boards of Audit, which inspects the Board of Supervisors have rejected the offer of the projectors of the contemplated electric car line between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, and have read advertised for bids for the purchase of the franchise. The trouble lay in the indefinite wording of the instrument relative to using the bridges erected by the county over the Santa Ana river, the sandwash and Coyote creek. The people of the county desire the electric road to be built, but are not yet ready to turn over the entire county property to its projectors. The latter might as well understand first as last that valuable rights-of-way have been tendered them for the asking, but the people must be excused from any request to deal with it as an eelymosenary institution. Business is business, and if the electric road cannot construct its line without taking the county bridges, let the road remain unconstructed. Capt. Tollo's recent all-night session with the Trustees of this city relative to the franchise through town was exhausting to the patience of the Trustees, and the franchise matter was about to be passed over, when he finally accepted the city's terms, signed the bond and paid the expense of preparing the papers. In that instrument the interests of the people of this city are fully protected, and the people of the county will expect of the Supervisors that their interests are similarly dealt with. The county bridges must not be abandoned to this infantile corporation, nor the rights of the people upon the public highways be interfered with. The present motor line between Santa Ana and Orange, of which the contemplated electric road is the outgrowth, runs over the bridge spanning the Santiago creek, without molestation or hindrance, paying nothing therefor. The people of the county paid for the bridgeangers the names of stations as they train approaches that interest point. Not once, but thrice, and a voice sufficiently stentorian to dicate its availability for the use a fog signal. Later on he yelled "Ro-vera!" mispronouncing his names, but yelling them loud enough to make up the difference. "An heim!" comes later on, and here a pleasure to make one's escape from him. The Santa Fe company should employ men at least make a feast attempt to learn how to pronounce the names of stations, and then dispense with the fog-horn attachments to their voices. Consumers of city water who have been receiving the service at a rate of 15 cents per month, by means are to be brought up with sharp turn. A city ordinance provides that families of two persons shall pay a minimum rate of $3 per month for water. By installing a meter it seems some of these people have been getting water at 15 cents per month. Now we submit that cannot be expected to buy me and pay for their installing families who use this diminutive amount of water; we do not think the practice will long continue should have been stopped longer. Similarly, an inspection of the electric-light schedule reveals many consistencies. Residences supply with meters pay in some instances cents per month for, say, ten dozen lights, while others, who less than a quarter of the amount light, are taxed a flat rate of $3 per month. It is difficult to adjust the scales to fit everyone's case perfectly but there seems to be enough equality in both the water and electric-light schedules to warrant their complete revision. Fifteen cents a month for willed residences with a n We believe much of this is due to carelessness, rather than a disposition to defraud on the part of the retiring Secretary. The destroyed stubs and zanjeros' daily reports have all been experted by past Boards of Audit, which inspects the books and accounts of the office once each year. This being so, the company cannot lose anything by their destruction; yet they should not have been destroyed without an order of the Board of Directors. The amounts charged to Mr. Blennerhassett through delinquent assessments upon the stock of Mr. Botsford come from clerical errors, which, it seems, one or two Boards of Audit have passed over in the past without ascertaining the error. The amounts due will be immediately paid the company. The amount paid Flotow ($50) was an overpayment on his note of $800, and it is surprising that it should have escaped the notice of the Finance Committee and of the experts under whose notice the matter must have come. The business of the water company has grown to such proportions that no one not an expert bookkeeper and accountant is qualified to attend properly to its many demands upon one's time and attention. The business is constantly growing and becoming more exacting in its many complicated details. Mr. Blennerhassett has proved to be an efficient Secretary, and is entitled to respectful hearing at this time. He has personally informed Alex Wright, chairman of the Board of Audit, of his willingness to turn over to the company such moneys as may be found to be owing to it. Mr. Wright has been unceasing in his efforts to straighten out the tangled finances of the company, and the task has been one requiring many days and nights of study. He is entitled to the thanks of the shareholders for the character of his work. The Los Angeles Herald some days ago printed a map showing the route of the Salt Lake railway from Los Angeles to Redlands, in which it is pointed out the road will run by way of Pomona, instead of the La Habra valley and Placentia, where a close survey was recently made. It is the opinion of those best informed upon the subject that their interests are similarly dealt with. The county bridges must not be abandoned to this infantile corporation, nor the rights of the people upon the public highways be interfered with. The present motor line between Santa Ana and Orange, of which the contemplated electric road is the outgrowth, runs over the bridge spanning the Santiago creek, without molestation or hindrance, paying nothing therefor. The people of the county paid for the bridge, and keep it in repair; then they pay this motor line for the privilege of riding over it. Of course there is constant danger to passing vehicles, and many accidents have happened. When the motor approaches the bridge, travelers on the roadway stand aside and give it unlimited right of way. It is inconceivable that a corporation said to represent half a million of capital should deal in such a picayunish spirit as to request the right to operate their road over bridges provided for the use of the people by the money of the taxpayers of the county. If this is the only condition under which the road may be constructed, we might as well give up thoughts of ever seeing work upon the line begun. The Supervisors cannot be too careful in protecting the rights of the people not only as regards the county bridges, but upon the county roads, which have cost tens of thousands of dollars, as well. A WRITER in the Riverside Press refers to a conversation had recently with a resident of this county, in which the position was taken by the Orange county man that this county would in a short time "go ahead" of Riverside, and that with its diversified products it would be sure to "keep in the lead." That is correct. Why should it not? As a matter of fact, we are already "in the lead" as regards population—in the past five years we have increased more than Riverside and San Bernardino combined. And with our diversified products—with our citrus and deciduous fruits, walnuts, sugar production, grain, grapes, celery, oil—we are bound to keep in the lead, and shall soon distance our big neighbor to the east of us. Riverside grows oranges alone—it raises fine fruit, but ours are fully their equal. Orange county grows half the walnuts produced in California; Riverside not a car. Orange grows 1500 carloads of celery; Riverside not a car. Orange county produces better than 50,000 barrels of oil per month; Riverside not a meter. With meters pay in some instances per month for, say, ten dozen lights, while others who less than a quarter of the amount light, are taxed a flat rate of $1 per month. It is difficult to adjust the rules to fit everyone's case perfectly but there seems to be enough equality in both the water and electric-light schedules to warrant their complete revision. Fifteen cents a month for wished residences with a new costing $15 is too much! A great tide of immigration is tinging in toward California, and ready thousands of tourists are arriving each week in Los Angeles Hotels and lodging houses crowded, and private residences been opened to strangers sojourning temporarily in the city. It is mated that 100,000 people from East will arrive in the State within three months, the low on the railroads proving a great incentive to desirable travel highward. No section in California offers prior advantages to the home-seller than Orange county, and the try about Anaheim holds our special inducements. The beetle vest will require thousands of bees and the supply of labor threaten be scarce. The deciduous fruit will necessitate the employment hundreds, and the grain harvest offer employment to many more. For some weeks past Santa Ana has maintained an agent in Los Angeles to inform immigrants of advantages offered by that local area and a number of families having rived with the object in view of chasing homes and permanent siding. This is a matter which could be emulated with profit by this nation. There are thousands of able settlers now arriving weekly Los Angeles who would prove desirable adjuncts to our populace. This section offers them natural advantages than any other locality in California industries are the most diverse our irrigating system is among most perfect, our pumping plants lifting thousands of inches of precious fluid from the depth most numerous. The oil industry in its infancy, and fortunes been made in it the past decade. The deciduous fruit business induces equal to the best State; this county produces that of the walnuts grown in the all of the celery; the fruit can and drying establishments hold inducements second to none. The Los Angeles Herald some days ago printed a map showing the route of the Salt Lake railway from Los Angeles to Redlands, in which it is pointed out the road will run by way of Pomona, instead of the La Habra valley and Placentia, where a close survey was recently made. It is the opinion of those best informed upon the subject that the precise location of the route between the two points named is not yet known to the public at large, and the publication of the map is premature. The opinion is held in well-informed circles that the projectors of the road prefer the route through Placentia and the La Habra country. A delegation of twelve of the representative citizens of these localities were some weeks ago in conference with the officers of the road, and were assured that if free right-of-way were secured for them, the line would be built this way. This was promised, and we believe work has advanced encouragingly in securing easements. The shortage of cars for moving the orange crop emphasizes the fact that a new line of railway is imperatively needed for the expanding interests of Southern California. Thousands of cars of oranges will be ruined by the lack of transportation facilities, and yet the railway lines are bending their energies to meet the demands of the traffic. This volume of produce will go on increasing with each year, and more and better facilities for transporting the crop must be provided. We believe active work upon the Salt Lake railway will begin before many weeks, and that rails will be laid through Placentia and La Habra. On second view of the Herald's map, one is struck with the bend in the road from Riverside, by way of Redlands and Highlands, to the Cajon Pass. Certainly the road will not describe that route. "LA MO-RADA!" shouts the young man employed by the Santa Fe company to yell into the ears of passen- our irrigating system is among most perfect, our pumping plant lifting thousands of inches of precious fluid from the depth most numerous. The oil industry in its infancy, and fortunes have been made in it the past year. The deciduous fruit business inducements equal to the best State; this county produces that of the walnuts grown in the all of the celery; the fruit cane and drying establishments hold inducements second to none oranges and lemons are equal to best. New-comers from the East side not fail to investigate the attractions held out by this county by settling down elsewhere. La cheaper here than in the widest vertised communities, and the terial advantages superior to them. Irrigation which here $12 to $15 had to be paid Redlands last summer at the rate $600 for similar volume. Our gating system is reckoned as a very best in the State, and every side this section appeals especial force to those looking desirable place for settlement. This valley is the Paradise Southern California. We are miles from the sea, and during warm summer afternoons dearly cool breezes waft them up from the ocean. While in upper valleys of Riverside and Bernardino the temperature becomes unbearable in July, August and tember, the thermometer here rises above 85, even on the wavy days. In winter our distance is the snow-capped mountains re-existence a rare delight. We immune from the frosts and cold of the upper valleys, lying at the end of the snowy peaks, and rarely experience the ill effects of the among the orange groves of sections. A visit to Anaheim will desirabate the truth of these statements. We make the claim, without fear. the names of stations as the approaches that interesting signal. Later on he yells, "General" mispronouncing both but yelling them loud enough make up the difference. "Annie" comes later on, and here it is secure to make one's escape from The Santa Fe company should pay men to at least make a feeble attempt to learn how to pronounce names of stations, and then to use with the fog-horn attachments to their voices. Consumers of city water who have receiving the service at a rate of 20 cents per month, by meter are to be brought up with a turn. A city ordinance prohibits families of two persons pay a minimum rate of $1 month for water. By installing over it seems some of these people been getting water at 15 cents monthly. Now we submit the city not be expected to buy meters pay for their installing for cities who use this diminutive amount of water; we do not think practice will long continue. It had have been stopped long ago. Early, an inspection of the elec-light schedule reveals many instances. Residences supplied meters pay in some instances 75 per month for, say, ten or a ten lights, while others, who use than a quarter of the amount of water, are taxed a flat rate of $1.50 month. This difficult to adjust the schedule to fit everyone's case perfectly, there seems to be enough infinity in both the water and electric-light schedules to warrant complete revision. Twelve cents a month for water lied residences with a meter successful contradiction, that we offer the home-seeker the best natural advantages to be found in Southern California, and that means the State at large. COMPLAINT has been lodged with the city authorities relative to riding upon sidewalks, especially on West Center street, by persons living in and about the city. The names of several are known, and it would not surprise us much to hear of arrests made for infraction of the ordinance prohibiting this sort of thing. The other day a lady upon her wheel rang the bell to warn an approaching pedestrian to get out of her way, and he had to stand aside in order to allow her to pass. Some evenings ago a crowd of young men going home threatened to thrash a pedestrian who demonstrated with one of their number for running into him. These complaints have been loud and long continued, and it is to be hoped the ordinance will be rigidly enforced. GOVERNOR GAGE has achieved a victory which is of vast importance to California. After a controversy that has been prolonged for over a year, the Federal authorities have finally abandoned altogether the position of Kinyoun and Wyman that bulonic plague has been epidemic in San Francisco. The special commission sent to Washington by Governor Gage has accomplished its mission and the Governor is at last fully vindicated in the declaration which he has constantly reiterated, that the black plague does not now, and never did, exist in San Francisco. The Federal authorities at last concede the justice of this position. There will be no further interference by Kinyoun, and all danger of quarantine against the State is at an end. LOUD's infamous postal bill, which PRODUCTION OF BEET SUGAR. California First in the List. According to Statistics from the Census Bureau. California makes a fine showing in the report of the production of beet sugar by the Census Bureau, and the figures give a clear idea of the permanent profit and commercial success of beet sugar making. Of the thirty-one factories in operation May 31, 1900, eight are in California, nine in Michigan, three in Nebraska, three in Utah, two in New York and one each in Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. All but two of these factories are controlled by corporations. The total capital interested is $20,958,519, of which $10,139,780 is in California, $4,013,743 in Michigan and $6,904,996 in all other states. The total value of the product for the year ending May 31, 1900, was $7,323,857, of which California furnished $3,499,996. Michigan $1,602,266 and all other states $2,221,505. "The small value of the products, $7,323,857," says the report, "is due to an enormous shortage in the crop of sugar beets for the year ending May 31, 1900. In all branches of sugar manufacture the years of plentiful harvest must carry the industry over years of failure and yield returns that will make the average earnings justify the investments. "Of the sixteen new factories, fifteen of which were operated for the first time in 1899, several were not completed when the harvest was ready. In some instances there were serious losses from deterioration of beets. "In addition to the factories operated in the census year, six including an auxiliary factory at which beet juice was extracted, but no sugar manufactured, were under construction for the crop of 1900. A report of these new factories not being received, the figures given only approximate the capital invested in the new factories as $3,800,000, making the total of $24,758,-519 for the new industry in the year 1900. "Of the factories in operation during the census year ten reported the total value of their products as aggregating $1,833,681.

Hotels and lodging houses are closed, and private residences have opened to strangers sojourning sporarily in the city. It is estimated that 100,000 people from the will arrive in the State within next three months, the low rates of railroads proving a great incentive to desirable travel hitherto. In section California offers sucker advantages to the home-worker Orange county, and the counsellor Anaheim holds out essential inducements. The beet harbor will require thousands of hands, the supply of labor threatens to scarce. The deciduous fruit crop necessitate the employment of alderds, and the grain harvest will be employed to many more. On some weeks past Santa Ana maintained an agent in Los Angeles to inform immigrants of the antages offered by that locality, a number of families have arrived with the object in view of puring homes and permanently rearing. This is a matter which might simulate with profit by this sec. There are thousands of desirous settlers now arriving weekly in Angeles who would prove to be valuable adjuncts to our population. This section offers them greater rural advantages than probably other locality in California. Our industries are the most diversified, irrigating system is among the best perfect, our pumping plants, growing thousands of inches of the obvious fluid from the depths, the most numerous. The oil industry is its infancy, and fortunes have been made in it the past year. Deciduous fruit business offers decrements equal to the best in the state; this county produces the bulk walnuts grown in the State; of the celery; the fruit canning establishments hold out decrements second to none; ournor Gage has accomplished its mission and the Governor is at last fully vindicated in the declaration which he has constantly reiterated, that the black plague does not now, and never did, exist in San Francisco. The Federal authorities at last concede the justice of this position. There will be no further interference by Kinyoun, and all danger of quarantine against the State is at an end. Loud's infamous postal bill, which sought to increase the postage on country weekly newspapers eight-fold, is dead. It passed the House, but the Senate had too much sense to adopt such a piece of iniquity, and promptly killed it. Senator Hale of Maine, in speaking of the bill, referred as follows to the country editor: He is the packhorse of every community, the promoter of every laudable enterprise, the worst underpaid laborer in the vineyard. Counting his space as capital, he gives more to charity—his means considered—than any other member of society. He is a power in politics, a pillar of the church, a leader in the crusade for better morals. He is pre-eminently the friend of humanity. Line upon line, paragraph upon paragraph, day by day, he is embalming in cold type facts from which the Herodotus, Tacitus, Sismondi and Macaulay of the future will write the history of our times. He fully chronicles our advent into the world, briefly notes our uprising and downsittings, and sorrowfully records our exit. We are all more or less—generally more—his handiwork, and the creature should not be ungrateful to his creator. Without his generous and enthusiastic labors most of us would never have been here; and when he tires of us, most of us will return to private life amid rural scenes propitious for secret meditation and silent prayer. Working night and day during the campaign, when the election is over and the time comes for the distribution of the loaves and fishes—now vulgarly called "pie"—he is generally forgotten. Senator, put it there. You are a man after our own heart. God bless you for your opposition to Loud's bill. If Loud lived in this California district, instead of the metropolitan district of San Francisco, where his infamous bill does not apply, his name would have been Denis long ago. Shake, Senator, shake! A Santa Ana lady has a husband who owns a fine bull dog. She has a friend who owns a pug. The other day the bull dog went visiting. The pug returned home with him. The pug was dead. The bull dog carried him by the neck. This all happened in Santa Ana. Attempt at Rape. Aug.

Their hearing will be had this morning. in the census year, six, including an auxiliary factory at which beet juice was extracted, but no sugar manufactured, were under construction for the crop of 1900. A report of these new factories not being received, the figures given only approximate the capital invested in the new factories as $3,800,000, making the total of $24,758,-519 for the new industry in the year 1900. "Of the factories in operation during the census year ten reported the total value of their products as aggregating $1,833,681. The same factories reported product valued at $2,426,522 for the census year. The acreage actually contracted for in 1899 was 135,350. Because of shortage of the crop in various parts of the country, particularly in California, beets were actually harvested from 105,175 acres, and the average yield from this land, eight tons of 2000 pounds per acre, was very unsatisfactory. The average yield of beets for Germany for crops of 1896-97, 1897-98 and 1898-99 respectively was fourteen, fourteen and thirteen tons per acre. "The acreage seeded for the crop of 1900, including that for six new factories having a total nominal capacity of 3200 tons of beets, was only 123,400 whereas approximately 200,000 acres would have been required fully to supply the demand of the factories in operation during that year." The total product of sugar during the year ending May 31, 1900 was: United States, 163,458,075 pounds; California, 86,741,713 pounds; Michigan, 33,708,283 pounds; all other, 43,008,079 pounds. Dr. Spencer says: "In 1899, as shown by the census statistics in this report,the number of factories operated was thirty, with an output of 79,998 short tons of sugar. The total quantity of cane and beet sugar of domestic manufacture,a reported in Willett & Gray's circular in 1899 was 229,537 short tons,showing that the production of beet sugar was then approximately 25 percent of the total sugar produced in the country from sugar cane and beets.The American beet sugar factories now have a nominal daily capacity of 22,310 short tons of beets,and when fully supplied with raw material,she could easily manufacture 240,000 short tons of sugar per annum."

Board of Audit The Board of Audit is still wrestling with the books and accounts of the water company. Chairman Wright of the committee said yesterday that he was anxious to wind up the report and submit it as soon as possible. He thought this week would see the termination of its labors. K. O. T. M. Anaheim Tent, No. 9, Knights of the Maccabees held their regular review last Saturday evening. Sir Knight Com. Hill, who had been confined to his home for some time with rheumatism, was present. E. B. Merritt was elected representative and Wm. C.

Card of Thanks To our friends and the friends of our uncle, the late Lorenz Guenther, for their untiring attentions during his illness, for their generous offerings of flowers at his grave, and for the kind consideration of the citizens of Anaheim in general during the passing of the funeral cortex to the cemetery, our most sincere thanks. THE RELATIVES OF THE LATE LORENZ GUENTHER. At the Oil Wells Extensive improvements are being made on all the leases in the Santa Fe field. The Santa Fe company is laying extensive side tracks looking forward to the making of one of the largest car yards south of Los Angeles. Four strings of tools are already running on this lease and there is no occasion for any working man to lack employment in this region. The Olinda company has started a new well in the southern extension of the field, which is watched with great interest by companies operating in this region, as it is the first well drilled in that locality since the famous "dry hole" of the Liberty company was abandoned. The Fullerton Consolidated people are putting in new machine shops and running two strings of tools daily and are employing about twenty men about their lease. Over in the east end of the field the Columbia company has piped gas to the houses of all employees, and is lighting their own and neighbor's leases with electricity. Things are quiet on the Loftus lease, but this does not mean that work is not progressing there rapidly also. Three strings of tools are running and an electric light plant will soon be installed by the company in connection with the Santa Fe company. The head mason of the Santa Fe railroad company has been setting up the masonry for the new battery of boilers on the westward extension of that lease. For Sale.

Department of Agriculture, Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, California Section, for the week ending Monday, Mar. 11. The temperature has been nearly normal in all parts of the State during the week, becoming somewhat lower toward the close than during the preceding week. Dry northerly winds have prevailed in some sections and heavy fogs in others. Rain has fallen in nearly all sections, and will probably reach the extreme south to-day. The storm on Sunday was accompanied by heavy snow in the mountains. The soil had become sufficiently dry for cultivation previous to the rain, and work had been resumed in fields and orchards. Grain planting is practically completed, and all reports agree that a large acreage has been sown. Wheat and barley are in excellent condition, having made rapid growth during the warm weather, and will doubtless be materially benefited by the rain, especially in the south. Heavy crops are expected in all sections. Work in hop fields has been commenced. Alfalfa is strong and healthy, and will yield a heavy crop. Green seed is abundant and becoming very nutritious. Cattle and sheep are in splendid condition. No injurious frosts have occurred, and at present the outlook for a large yield of deciduous fruits is most encouraging. Early peaches and nearly all other varieties of these fruits are in bloom in the central and northern portions and advancing rapidly in the south. Orchards and vineyards have been much benefited by the rain. Citrus fruits continue in good condition; large quantities of oranges are being shipped daily. Spring dress goods at Harris & Falkenstein’s. Found Unconscious. Mr. Robinson of Placentia, while traveling along the roadway near Col.

Four men usually sit at a table, each with a gas jet in front of him, and the eyes are blown from gas plates and molded into shape by hand.

Extent of Florist Industry. The florist business in the United States is by no means an unimportant industry. It is estimated that the retail value of flowers sold annually is $12,500,000 and of potted plants $10,000,000.
