COLONEL TUFFREE AND THE RANCHO BUENA VISTA. Upon What Terms He Will Grant the Water Company Right of Way for Its Main Ditch. “This is a little too dry for me,” whispered Mr. Rogers at the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon, during a discussion of the manner of bookkeeping in future to be carried on by the company jointly with the Santa Ana company relative to their account up the river, “and I do not think there will be any objection to my withdrawing.” There was none. Mr. Rogers put on his hat and strode out of the meeting room. Mr. Armor and Mr. Nisson had come over from the other side of the river for the purpose of holding a conference with the board about these matters, and the former gentleman had been giving the board his views upon the subject. It appeared that Chairman Wright of the Board of Audit had gone to Orange to look over the joint account, and had made some criticisms upon the method of bookkeeping employed by the Santa Ana company. So far as the bookkeeping on this side of the river was concerned, there did not appear to be any. Mr. Armor said his company did not bother its head about the different columns to which every insignificant item was charged, whether money was charged to engineering, litigation or other accounts, so long as the total amount of expenditure was kept correctly tabulated. His company of course kept a complete set of books, and were precise in the method of keeping their accounts; but sometimes bills were rendered for work to be charged to the joint account, in which there were minor items which were difficult to properly segregate. These amounts had been charged to the joint account, and a complete record of them kept. If the Anaheim company desired the segregation of every little item to this column or that he had no objection, and the purpose of his visit was to discuss the matter and arrive at some uniform method of keeping the accounts in future. The Santa Ana company had expended some $3000 more than the Anaheim ranch; and the right to use water for domestic and stock purposes. He also imposes a charge of $60 per year for the use of the reservoir; desires that it be kept clean, and says that at some future time he might desire to occupy the site for his own uses. As the Secretary read, Mr. Pierotti followed him with his finger upon the map, pointing out the route of the ditches and the delineation of the main canal through the ranch. It was the opinion of the board that Col. Tuffree’s request could not be agreed to, and the committee was continued, to act in conjunction with Attorney Melrose, to draw up an agreement, setting forth the desires of the company in the premises and submit the same to Col. Tuffree for his consideration. Mr. Crowther walked over to the map and pointed out the place where Col. Tuffree had attempted, years ago, to do him bodily harm for refusing to order the zanjero to turn water on the ranch. He was glad the matters between the Colonel and the company were to be settled. He had tried for years to get the matter adjusted, but had been unsuccessful. The committee is now at work taking a fall out of the work assigned to it. Attorney Melrose submitted a communication from C. S. Miles setting forth the fact, as claimed by him, that the company’s ditch running through his tract is ten feet on his land, instead of on the line. For this ditch the company has no right of way, and Mr. Miles desired to have the matter taken up and finally disposed of. Mr. Crowther said he failed to comprehend the purposes of some men relative to their position toward the company. The ditch on Placentia avenue was eight feet on his land, and he never said a word about it. The ditch was surveyed by Mr. Sherwood, who started it from grade stakes furnished by adjoining property owners. It begins and ends on the line of the ditch east and west of the tract. The matter was referred to him as a committee of one to investigate and report. A petition from Robert Hansen asking for the cementing of 1000 feet of SPORT LYMBURNER PUT ON QUEER STREET. A Santa Ana Jury Lands Heavily on the Boss of the Chancellor Thirst Parlor. Other Arrests Will Follow. It took a jury in Judge Willson’s court at Santa Ana just 15 minutes by the watch to find E. W. Lymburner, Chief Cook and Bottlewasher of the Chancellor thirst parlor at Fullerton, guilty of selling liquor contrary to the county prohibition ordinance. The case began on Monday, and almost the entire day was devoted to securing a jury. The case was resumed on Tuesday, and after occupying the attention of the court and jury for the greater part of the day, the case was given the jury at 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon. In fifteen minutes a verdict was returned, finding Lymburner guilty as charged. Lymburner will be sentenced tomorrow. There is no doubt in the minds of the anti-saloon people that the so-called “thirst-parlor” clubs are all an evasion of the law. Of these there are five at Fullerton. The first was started by Lymburner after the adoption of the prohibition ordinance at the November election. He applied for and obtained, under the guidance of Attorney Head, a charter from the State giving him the right to maintain an athletic club, where refreshments might be served to members. His success in beating the law prompted others to follow his example, and four other clubs were formed, the last one being the “Fullerton Union” thirst parlor, conducted by Mrs. Louie Bolz. A man desirous of wetting his whistle enters one of these thirst parlors, places a quarter of a dollar upon the bar, and thereupon becomes a member of the club. A membership card is furnished him. Then the bar-keeper treats to a decoction of a liquor called red eye. Other drinks on tap are called servesa, vino tinto eyewearers, honey-dew jolters, corpse-reivers and nerve-restorers of different grades and descriptions. All drinks are said to be 10 cents, while in other towns beer is sold for the despised nickel. The proprietors have been reaping a harvest. The motto of the clubs and were precise in the method of keeping their accounts; but sometimes bills were rendered for work to be charged to the joint account, in which there were minor items which were difficult to properly segregate. These amounts had been charged to the joint account, and a complete record of them kept. If the Anaheim company desired the segregation of every little item to this column or that he had no objection, and the purpose of his visit was to discuss the matter and arrive at some uniform method of keeping the accounts in future. The Santa Ana company had expended some $3000 more than the Anaheim company, which would place the local company in the other's debt to the extent of half this amount. Mr. Wright, he said, had, after looking over the vouchers, charged a sum to the "Newberry litigation account," whereas there was no such account. The companies had gone to some expense in anticipation of a suit by Newberry, but that suit never came to pass, and he doubted if it ever would. Newberry had gone to an expense variously estimated at from $5000 to $10,000 for the purpose of laying the foundation of a lawsuit against both companies, and the latter had been compelled, for purposes of self-defense, to collect such data as it might be necessary for them to produce in court in order to maintain their rights. This money could not properly be charged to the Newberry litigation account, for there was no such account; nevertheless Mr. Wright had so charged it. He suggested that both companies employ a uniform system of bookkeeping, to the end that in future no misunderstanding might arise. At this point Mr. Rogers was taken with cold feet and retired. Mr. Crowther, who occupied the chair, said this company was anxious to keep its accounts straight, and that if it was found the company was owing to the other $1500, a check in that amount would immediately issue to it. He favored the suggestion that a uniform set of books be kept and frequent balances struck. Mr. Armor moved that the adjustment of the accounts between the two companies be left to the Litigation Committees of both companies, they to pass upon them and report. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pierotti and carried. Thursday next, March 28, was appointed as the time for the first meeting of the committees, at Orange. All bills and data pertaining to the joint account since work up the river began will be produced at that time, and the committees will have a couple of days' wrestling with the accounts. Mr. Armor moved, after a further discussion, that all bills pertaining to the joint account of the companies be audited by the Litigation Committees and assigned alternately to each company for payment, and that balances be adjusted quarterly. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pierotti and carried. The business of the joint board being Mr. Crowther said he failed to comprehend the purposes of some men relative to their position toward the company. The ditch on Placentia avenue was eight feet on his land, and he never said a word about it. The ditch was surveyed by Mr. Sherwood, who started it from grade stakes furnished by adjoining property owners. It begins and ends on the line of the ditch east and west of the tract. The matter was referred to him as a committee of one to investigate and report. A petition from Robert Hansen asking for the cementing of 1000 feet of ditch west of town was referred to the Ditch Committee. Mr. Hansen offers to haul the gravel and backfill and do all necessary team work. The Ditch Committee submitted the following report: ANAHEIM, March 16, 1901. The Committee on Ditches reports as follows: After having looked over the ditch from Spadra road to the pipe by the Presbyterian church in Fullerton, we recommend that it be cemented as asked for by Mr. Ruddock and others at our last meeting, as soon as the material is on the ground. We examined two crossings on West street in Anaheim and instructed the Superintendent to replace the wooden bridges with pipes. We find that Flume 12 has been constructed about twelve inches below the level of the ditch, hence the enormous weight of the water causes the flume to settle in the middle, which is liable to cause a disconnection between the ends of the flume and the cement ditch. We therefore recommend that the flume be strengthened and a new bottom be placed above the old one, on a level with the ditch; also that the ditch be cemented at the same grade, at the east end of the flume, to a safe point. The recommendations of the committee were approved, and the work outlined was ordered to be taken up and carried out. Mr. Korn appeared before the board and protested against the running of water one hour to the share, claiming it worked him and other shareholders an injustice. He maintained that 30 minutes to the share should be the limit at this time. The board after discussing the subject decided, on motion of Pierotti, to cut the limit to 30 minutes to the share. Transfers of stock were ordered to the following parties: From Wm. Newbauer to Marie Newbauer, 8 shares; from Carl Stollberg to H. Hildebrandt, 1 share; from W. H. Blennnerhassett to R. S. Wilson, 2 shares; from Lorenz Guenther to Lawrence Boldt, 1 share. Secretary Krick said he had received notice from A. McDermont that he had never received payment for the amount due him on the pipe laid in front of the Presbyterian church at Fullerton. The Secretary had found on looking up the records that on November 3d last the board passed a resolution ordering payment to McDermont in the amount of $58.20, but a warrant had never been issued to him. According to his (Krick's) figures, the amount should be $30.80, the old Finance Committee (Nobleman and Carcill) having made a man desirous of wetting his wife enters one of these thirst parlors, places a quarter of a dollar upon the bar, and thereupon becomes a member of the club. A membership card is furnished him. Then the bar-keeper treats to a decoction of a liquor called red eye. Other drinks on tap are called servesa, vino tinto eyepeners, honey-dew jolters, corpse-revivors and nerve-restorers of different grades and descriptions. All drinks are said to be 10 cents, while in other towns beer is sold for the desiplied nickel. The proprietors have been reaping a harvest. The motto of the clubs is: Wine auf bier, das rath ich dier, Bier auf wine, das is also fine. Every drinking man in Fullerton belongs to, not one, but all of these thirst parlors, and it is said more liquor is sold in the town than before the prohibition ordinance went into effect. Besides the thirst parlors, it is said a solitary blind pig keeps up with the procession, squealing its approval of the new law, and doling out liquor to the thirsty and no questions asked. Some time ago Lymphburner, who is the boss of the thirst-parlor gang, arranged a prize fight to be "pulled off" on a Sunday afternoon, while services were being conducted in a church across the way. A crowd of sports collected to see the fight, but the warning of the deputy sheriff that arrests would follow an attempt to witness the fight, and that all those present would be arrested, deterred them from entering the barn where the contest was scheduled to take place. The crowd was kept off the sidewalk, and lingered in the street in front of the barn. One of the contestants refused to go on with the fight, and Lymphburner and the other contestant entered the ring. They put on "the gloves," and began light sparring exercise, when Deputy Sheriff Pendergrast placed them under arrest for disturbing the peace. Each was released on depositing bail in the amount of $25. At this time Lymphburner was under arrest on the charge which was tried before Justice Willson. Trial of the charge for disturbing the peace was deferred until the conclusion of the other case. One bad feature of the organization of these thirst-parlor clubs is the ill feeling engendered between the saloon men and the antis. It is said that the antis are grossly insulted by drunken men when passing clubs, and vile epithets are hurled at them. Women are also said to be subjected to similar treatment, and a sense of resentment has taken possession of the respectable and law-abiding element of the community. The fine imposed upon Pedro Labatt, the Capistrano saloon-keeper convicted of a like offense, was $100. He took an appeal to the Superior Court, but Judge Ballard sustained the township court. Complaints will immediately issue against allthe clubs at Fullerton. The reform element are resolved to rid city of all drinking places, and will make an effort to drive the undesirable element out of town. The attempt ofthe saloon-keepers, and bills and data pertaining to the joint account since work up the river began will be produced at that time, and the committees will have a couple of days' wrestling with the accounts. Mr. Armor moved, after a further discussion, that all bills pertaining to the joint account of the companies be audited by the Litigation Committees and assigned alternately to each company for payment, and that balances be adjusted quarterly. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pierotti and carried. The business of the joint board being here at an end, Messrs. Armor and Nisson withdrew, and the board proceeded with the regular order of business. Secretary Krick read a lengthy communication from J. K. Tuffree relative to the terms of settlement regarding the ditch running through the Rancho Buena Vista. Col. Tuffree has been in litigation with the Stearns Ranchos company for years concerning title to the ranch, and has lately, so it is said, won it out. The ranch now belongs to him; or will as soon as final papers pass. The water company has maintained one of its main ditches through the ranch, and also occupies a reservoir site upon the property. At the last meeting of the board a committee consisting of Sherwood, Pierotti, Bradford and Adams was appointed to confer with Col. Tuffree relative to securing a deed for right of way for the ditch and to settle various other matters at issue between them. The conference was held at Col. Tuffree's residence, with the result that the Colonel later had his attorney prepare a statement to be furnished the company setting forth his views upon the matter. This the Secretary now read. The communication went on to say that Col. Tuffree claims the right to irrigate his entire tract of 640 acres, upon which he has 12 shares of water stock, before the Placentia lands to the south of him can be supplied with water. He desires that that right be accorded him before right of way for the ditch will be given. He wishes all ditches to be cemented, main as well as distributing ditches, and three bridges to be placed over them at points on his ranch to be designated by him; water to be furnished for two ponds on the R. S. Wilson, 2 shares; from Lorenz Guenther to Lawrence Boldt, 1 share. Secretary Krick said he had received notice from A. McDermont that he had never received payment for the amount due him on the pipe laid in front of the Presbyterian church at Fullerton. The Secretary had found on looking up the records that on November 3d last the board passed a resolution ordering payment to McDermont in the amount of $58.20, but a warrant had never been issued to him. According to his (Krick's) figures, the amount should be $30.80, the old Finance Committee (Nebelung and Cargill) having made a mistake of $22. This latter amount was all that McDermont asked for. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee. The Secretary announced that he had on his table the final report of the Board of Audit. Mr. Crowther—Let's lay it upon the table until the next meeting. It's getting late. Mr. Sherwood and Mr. Adams were anxious to have it read and printed. Mr. Pierotti said he didn't think it was necessary to have it printed at this time. There the matter rested, and after Bradford reported that Supt. Woodward was doing good work in cleaning out the Cajon canal, the board adjourned. All the members of the board were present, viz., Crowther, Bradford, Smith, Steward, Pierotti, Adams and Sherwood. Gave His Check. Mr. Blennerhassett called at the water office yesterday and deposited with Secretary Krick a check in the amount of $241.75, to balance his accounts. Included in this amount was the $50 overpayment on the Flotow note, which had been passed upon by the Finance Committee and approved by the Directors at the time. How this could be legally chargeable to Mr. Blennerhassett is a question, yet he pays the claim to have an end of it. As we have heretofore said, there is no disposition to attribute to the Executive a particle of dishonesty—his check balancing his account proves that. He proved to be an efficient Secretary during the seven years of his incumbency of the office and he retires with the confidence and good-will of the entire community. Expelled from School. Charlie Darling and Glenn Breeding, who were arrested last week upon complaint of Aug. Rannow, who charged them with an attempt to assault the person of his twelve-year-old daughter Mary, had their trial in Judge Shanley's court on Thursday. The charge was reduced to simple assault by agreement of District Attorney Williams and Attorney Langley, who appeared for defendants. To this they plead guilty and were fined $15, which their parents paid. The boys have been expelled from school for their improper conduct. The trouble is said to have begun at recess on the day of the complaint, and the boys say others were involved. Farmers' Club. The regular monthly meeting of the Farmers' club will be held at the residence of Mr. Korn on Monday afternoon next, at 2 o'clock. Business or importance; full attendance of members desired. For Sale. One fourteen-inch walking plow, $5 a six-foot cutaway Osborne cultivator; $25; and a corn cultivator, $15. All in good condition. Also, Early Rose seed potatoes for sale; 50c a sack.

Secures a Contract to Construct 21 Miles of Cement Ditch and Pipe Line at Perris. Clarence Groat was on Monday morning awarded the contract for constructing 21 miles of cement ditch and pipe line for the Temescal Water company of Corona, the work to begin at Perris and extending to within eight miles of the first-named place. There were five bidders for the job, which is the largest of its kind ever awarded in Southern California. The first section of eight miles was awarded to French & Reed of Los Angeles. The bids were opened in secret session. The eight mile stretch was the first taken up. The Los Angeles men underbid Groat a shade. When the bids for the other sections of the remaining 21 miles of ditch and pipe line were opened it was learned that Groat knocked all his competitors sky high—he walked away with the whole works. The first section of his work will be from Perris to Elsinore, a distance of 12 miles. On this he will begin work on Monday next. He wants to employ 300 men. The contract involves an expenditure of $100,000, and 12,000 barrels of cement will be required. This Groat will purchase at the water front at San Francisco or San Diego. The work must be finished by the first of June. Elsewhere in this issue he advertises for men to work upon the job. He wants 300 men and pays top wages. A NEW HORTICULTURAL BILL Which Legislates the County Commissioners Out of Office by Taking Away Their Salaries. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington on Monday received the following telegram from E. H. Rust, Secretary of the Los Angeles Commissioners: Los Angeles, March 18. L. Z. Huntington — Anaheim, Cal.: Assembly Bill 681 legislates present Horticultural Commissioners out of office. Concerted action on our part necessary. Telephone me at Los Angeles tomorrow at 9:30. E. H. RUST. On Tuesday Mr. Huntington held a conference over the telephone with Mr. Rust, who stated the new bill, which had HAS THE RAILROAD BOUGHT? Rumors Continue to the Effect That the Southern Pacific Has Acquired the Del Campo. The visit of President Hays of the Southern Pacific Company to Buena Park last week, and the rumors of the purchase by that company of nine acres of land in the Dreyfus tract for the erection of machine shops, as well as the purchase of the Hotel del Campo for a railroad hospital, have continued to be the popular theme of discussion during the week. While rumors are persistent that the purchases have been made, those in position to know of the accuracy of the reports aver there is no foundation for them. A statement was made on Friday last to the effect that Mr. Hays was driven through this city from Buena Park and on to Placentia, where it is known the railroad will eventually construct its line from this city. The visit of this distinguished gentleman to this section may have meant nothing more than a pleasure trip, and then again, the wise ones say, it may mean much. He is said to have been driven by the Dreyfus tract, which adjoins the present railroad property on the south, and from which an admirable view of the hotel may be had. One report last week was to the effect that Mr. Hays paid two visits to this city in his private car, attached to a special engine, but this appears, on inquiry at the depot, to be inaccurate. Mr Muir and other division officials passed through town in their observation car, attached to a special engine. That was probably confounded with Mr. Hays and his private car. Mr. Carver, lessee of the Del Campo, says the many reports in circulation regarding the sale of the hotel to the Southern Pacific Company have resulted in making it impossible to rent rooms in that building. Prospective renters decline to take rooms with the likelihood of being made to move, as they say, before the month is out. Reports have been current that the lessee of the building has been notified to vacate the premises, but these reports, Mr. Carver says, are without foundation. The owners of the building have agreed to give him thirty days' notice of any change. While it is known that PERSONAL MENTION. Colonel and Mrs. Clark of Washington, D. C., who have been visiting their son, Dr. George Clark of Fullerton, return home this week. Ed Bustamente came over from Redlands several days ago for a short visit to his folks. He reports the town booming, and seventeen blind pigs doing a rushing business. V. A. H. Hale of Fullerton has turned his grocery over to the Wholesalers' Board of Trade of Los Angeles for the benefit of his creditors. His indebtedness is about $600, and the stock of goods will invoice nearly as much. Mrs. R. Fossek has been seriously ill for the past three weeks with a severe attack of neuralgia. She suffers intense pain in her left eye, of which she lost the sight some time ago. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. Adolph Rimpau, after living for fourteen years in the second story of the Dreyfus building, has decided to move with his family to the Luedke residence. He has rented the same, and will take up his abode there during the coming week. Mr. and Mrs. Max Mueller who have been residents of Anaheim for some months past departed yesterday for Los Angeles, where they will take up their residence. They made many friends during their stay who will note their departure with regret. Count Bozenta has been inspecting the improvements at the home of himself and wife, Madame Modjeska, at Arden, in Santiago canyon during the week. He left the madame at Salt Lake, where she played a very successful engagement, and will rejoin her at Portland, Oregon. McWilliams and Dunn began on Tuesday the erection of Hahn's livery stable on Los Angeles street. The main barn will be 48x122 feet, and a shed 12x60. The contract specifies the work must be completed within 60 days, but the contractors will engage an extra force of mechanics and try to have the buildings ready for occupancy in a month. Mr. Deakin was about town on Monday on crutches, his first appearance in three weeks, as a result of an accident sustained at the lumberyard while piling up shingles. A package of them fell a distance of six feet or more, striking him upon the foot, and inflicting such injuries that he was compelled to Which Legislates the County Commissioners Out of Office by Taking Away Their Salaries. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington on Monday received the following telegram from E. H. Rust, Secretary of the Los Angeles Commissioners: LOS ANGELES, March 18. L. Z. Huntington — Anaheim, Cal.; Assembly Bill 681 legislates present Horticultural Commissioners out of office. Concerted action on our part necessary. Telephone me at Los Angeles tomorrow at 9:30. E. H. RUST. On Tuesday Mr. Huntington held a conference over the telephone with Mr. Rust, who stated the new bill, which had not yet been signed by the Governor, puts the Horticultural Commissioners on no pay—it cuts out their salaries. It gives them the right to appoint experts to do such work as may be necessary, at a salary of $3.50 per day and traveling expenses. Mr. Huntington telegraphed Gov. Gage as follows: ANAHEIM, March 19. Hon. Henry T. Gage, Executive Mansion, Sacramento — Assembly bill 681, if signed by you, will result in irretrievable damage to the horticultural interests of Southern California. L. Z. HUNTINGTON. Mr. Huntington said he had been acting as Horticultural Commissioner for seven years. It was an injustice, he said, to require Commissioners to serve without pay—he would not do it, and if the bill became a law he would resign his office. It is not known who introduced the bill. A copy has not yet been received. GERMAN COMIC OPERETTA. Ladies' Section of the A. T. V. Will Celebrate Their Anniversary Easter Sunday, April 7. The ladies of the Anaheim Turn Verein are making preparations for the celebration of the founding of the Ladies' Section of the A. T. V. They have made arrangements for the production of a comic operetta called "Die Wilde 'Toni,' libretto and music by Nesmuller." The cast of the play is as follows: Toni — Fran Emil Oder de Nicolas Marie Werner; Freulein Maria Brinkman Seif; ein Holzkecht; Ernst Oder Ignatz, ein Jagen; Ernst Rudolph Place of action, a village in Bavarian Alps. SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAY. Toni, an orphan girl, has been making her own living and is an industrious girl of excellent character but fiery temper and jealous disposition. One Sunday as she leaves church with Self, her intended, a strange young lady drops her handkerchief and he restores it to her. This provokes a fit of jealousy on the part of Toni, and it ends by breaking the engagement. The strange young lady turns out to be Self's sister, who had been away for years. To cure Toni of her jealousy Marie makes love to her brother. Finally all is well. This play was originally written for Mrs. De der Nicolaus while she was soubrayte at Munich. For her success in the title-role she with the author were decoration with the order "for art and science." The play has only been given in Los Angeles and then to packed houses, so that Anaheim will be the second city in America to see it performed. Anaheim is to be congratulated on the occasion of this thirst parlor, member of a club. A membership is required him. Then the bar-to-a decoction of a liquor servesa, vino tinto eyewear-dew jolters, corpse-reserve-restorers of different descriptions.

Best parlors, it is said a solitary keeps up with the proclaiming its approval of the dolling out liquor to the no questions asked. Lymburner, who is the thirst-parlor gang, arrises fight to be "pulled off" when services conducted in a church day.

The crowd was sidewalk, and lingered in front of the barn. One of counts refused to go on with Lymburner and the other entered the ring. They put lives," and began light sparring, when Deputy Sheriff placed them under arrest in the peace. Released on depositing bail amount of $25. Lymburner was under charge which was tried twice Willson. Trial of disturbing the peace was declared the conclusion of the other feature of the organization first-parlor clubs is ill rendered between the salmon menants. It is said that therossly insulted by drunken passing the clubs, and vile hurled at them. Women did not be subjected to similar and a sense of resentment possession of the respectable element of the community imposed upon Pedro Labatt, rancho salmon-keeper convicted defense, was $100. He took an attorney in the Superior Court, but guard sustained the townshipaints will immediately issue the clubs at Fullerton. Theiment are resolved to rid the drinking places, and will fortify drive the undesirable extent of the salmon-keepers, Mr. Carver, lessee of the Del Campo, says the many reports in circulation regarding the sale of the hotel to the Southern Pacific Company have resulted in making it impossible to rent rooms in that building. Prospective renters decline to take rooms with the likelihood of being made to move, as they say, before the month is out. Reports have been current that the lessee of the building has been notified to vacate the premises, but these reports, Mr. Carver says, are without foundation. The owners of the building have agreed to give him thirty days' notice of any change. While it is known that the Southern Pacific Company had an option upon the property a year ago, it was allowed to lapse, and the current reports regarding its sale to that company cannot be traced to any authentic source. The report was again circulated on Monday that the hotel had passed into the hands of the railroad company, to be used for purposes of a hospital, but the rumor is not verified. The report, however, that Mr. Carver has been notified to vacate the premises is not true. The status of the land deal in the Dreyfus tract remains the same. Mr. Dreyfus was in town from San Francisco some days ago, but said nothing of it. It is known, however, that he was made an offer for a number of lots in his tract. This offer he took with him on his return to San Francisco. He has not since been heard from. Woodmen. Geo. D. Goldman of San Diego, Grand Senior Woodward of the order of Foresters, was in town on Friday and Saturday, and on Friday evening paid an official visit to the Court at Fullerton, accompanied by a number of members of the order from this city, and attended the initiation of new members and the installation of newly elected officers.
