Present: Trustees Schneider, Rust, Berdrow, Fletcher. Absent: Weisel. Clerk Merritt read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for October: For water, $220.10; electric lights, $345.50; licenses, $404.50; total, $970.10; less 5 per cent commission for collecting ($48.50), balance turned into treasury, $921.60.

Recorder Shanley reported the collection of $10; recorder's fees, $9; balance, $1. Trustee Rust of the finance committee reported the auditing of bills against the city amounting to $976.36; also the examination of the various officers' reports, which were approved. Marshal Steadman, to whom had been referred the matter of arranging a flat rate for lights for stores which close at 6 o'clock, asked for and was granted further time. Mr. Dickel addressed the board, and said that he and Dr. Johnston had been appointed a committee by the Chamber of Commerce to appear before the board and request that street signs be placed on city thoroughfares and that the names of streets be changed to their numerical order. Trustee Rust was of opinion that names of streets should not be changed. There are many twenty-acre lots in town, he said, which will probably be subdivided in the future, and then the numerical order would have to be changed. Dr. Johnston suggested that streets be lettered one way and numbered the other. Trustee Schneider suggested the matter lay over until the next meeting. a 5¼ foot sidewalk was too narrow. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements to secure signatures of all property owners affected and to get, if possible, a 6 foot sidewalk. To report at next regular meeting.

This Farmer Thinks the Former Offers Better Results, and that Prices for Latter are too Low. The following communication was sent us by one of our subscribers, who evidently is desirous that the beet raisers receive a fair compensation for their labor: In view of the contemplated contract the Chino Beet Sugar company proposes to offer the beet raisers of Orange county, it seems timely to present them through your valuable paper a statement of the approximate cost of manufacturing beet sugar, and also the desirability of raising barley in its stead. At the time the Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar factory was being exploited the expert testimony presented to the farmers was to the effect that with beets at 12 per cent sugar at $4.50 per ton and 50 cents for each 1 per cent additional sugar could be manufactured at 3 cents per pound. At the present time, with the improved machinery, it can be produced at much less cost, probably 2 cents per pound. The average tonnage for sugar beets in Orange county will not exceed ten tons to the acre, affording on an average no profit to the raiser, taking into consideration the exhaustion the land suffers. Is there not more profit to the farmer of California in barley? According to the crop report published by authority of the secretary of agriculture for October, 1902, I give you a statement of the vast and increasing exportation of barley to foreign countries: Shipments of barley from Pacific ports, in response to rapidly increasing foreign demands, have resulted in such appreciation of the price of this grain as to render its growing in the Pacific Coast States more profitable than that of other cereals. During the year ending June 30, 1902, more barley was shipped to foreign ports from California than in any previous year; and the demand since the date named has been so heavy and urgent as to result in the sale of the entire available supply at greatly enhanced prices. The following figures, furnished by the secretary of the San Francisco Merchants' Exchange, show the shipments of barley by sea from California, in cents, for the years ending June Trustee Rust was of opinion that names of streets should not be changed. There are many twenty-acre lots in town, he said, which will probably be subdivided in the future, and then the numerical order would have to be changed. Dr. Johnston suggested that streets be lettered one way and numbered the other. Trustee Schneider suggested the matter lay over until the next meeting. Trustee Berdrow favored the numbering and lettering of streets. He said he had lived here sixteen years and did not know the name of the street he lived on. The matter went over, on motion of Trustee Fletcher, seconded by Trustee Berdrow, to the next regular meeting. Engineer Lewis submitted a report on prices of electric meters. Trustee Rust moved that two dozen meters be purchased from the Electric Appliance company of Chicago, and that a year's contract be entered into with that company to purchase all meters from them during that time, a reduced rate of $10.45 for each meter being offered under such conditions. He also submitted prices on water meters. Net price on Crown meter, $12; Empire, 10; Nash, $8; all made by the National Meter company of New York. Freight, 40 to 50 cents each. Marshal Steadman reported that more meters were necessary and some of those now in use should be replaced by new ones. They are great water-savers. The city may not get so much money out of customers perhaps, but a great saving is made in the volume of water used. Trustee Schneider—How many do we need? Steadman—We can use all you can get. Rust—Get a carload. Steadman—There ought to be a meter in the house of every water consumer in town. Trustee Rust moved the city purchase 15 Crown meters, $ inch size, at $12 each. Seconded by Trustee Berdrow and carried. Engineer Lewis submitted price on lathe for power-house, $110, from Harper & Reynolds of Los Angeles. Berdrow moved that Lewis procure prices from hardware merchants in town. Seconded by Fletcher and carried. Lewis was delegated authority to purchase a lathe at rate not exceeding price quoted. Marshal Steadman reported tank on city water wagon leaking. Fittings the city possesses will fit new tank. The old tank leaks in front and leaks behind and cannot be repaired. On motion of Rust matter was referred to public improvements committee with authority. Trustee Berdrow said the sidewalk from the high school to the West End was in bad condition, being covered with water, and should be repaired. Langley (R)...2067 Head's majority, 45.

During the year ending June 30,1902,more barley was shipped to foreign ports from California than in any previous year; and the demand since the date named has been so heavy and urgent as to result in the sale of the entire available supply at greatly enhanced prices. The following figures, furnished by the secretary of the San Francisco Merchants' Exchange, show the shipments of barley by sea from California, in cents, for the years ending June 30,1892,to 1902,inclusive: 1892 ...1,129,416 1893 ...1,894,330 1894 ...1,462,690 1895 ...699,958 1896 ...2,265,665 1897 ...3,660,177 1898 ...3,290,479 1899 ...461,333 1900 ...4,003,136 1901 ...2,119,292 1902 ...4,381,682 The fact is generally known that California is handicapped by the high freight rates in sending its products to market,but in the shipment of barley we have an equal chance with our Eastern competitors. We can even excel them in this particular product as our barley is of a superior quality.The brewers of Chicago and Milwaukee send here for their barley.The labor and expense of growing barley in comparison with sugar beets every farmer can best appreciate.Beet sugar manufacturers ought to advance their price to beet raisers.They can afford to do it. One cent per pound profit ought to satisfy them. Enclosed I hand you a clipping showing the price paid for beets by the Lansing Beet Sugar company of Lansing,Mich.: Careful inquiry made by Orange Judd Farmer among beet-sugar manufacturers and growers of sugar beets indicates that in all sections of the country east of Colorado the beet harvest will be a little late. This is due to a cool season and also too much rainfall during the greater part of the growing period.The delay howeverwill not be very great,and amounting to a week or ten days in most cases.On the other hand,从Colorado westthe season has been favorable for the growth of beets and harvestingwill begin about the usual time. The quality of the beets over the entire area devoted to this crop is not as satisfactory as during a season when there is less moisture and more sunshine.In the first place,the beets are not uniform in size,because of extremely wet weather.Those on high land grew quite large while those on low land did not do so well.In many cases they were killed out entirely Then,theo,the sugar content is perilable.It is well known that plenty of sunshine and warm weather are necessary for the development of the maximum amount of sugar in beets or any other sugar-producing plants.The central west had a great many cloudy days during July,August and early September,and the beets did not ripen up as well as they would have done had there been more sunshine.However,the results are very satisfactory.as will be noted below. There seems to be an increased appreciation of the value of beet pulp as stock feed.Farmers are using more and more of it each year,and the manufacturers report quite a demand.A rule,它 is consumed in the vicinity of the factory,但in some cases it is Lewis was delegated authority to purchase a lathe at rate not exceeding price quoted. Marshal Steadman reported tank on city water wagon leaking. Fittings the city possesses will fit new tank. The old tank leaks in front and leaks behind and cannot be repaired. On motion of Rust matter was referred to public improvements committee with authority. Trustee Berdrow said the sidewalk from the high school to the West End was in bad condition, being covered with water, and should be repaired. Near Mr. Spencer's a ditch was in the walk. Referred to superintendent of streets. Berdrow said complaint had been made about little boys riding tricycles on sidewalks. Look out, little boys, for the sidewalk ordinance. Clerk Merritt reported that $1155 be transferred from the general fund to improvement fund No. 1; $516.25 to fund No. 2; $1381.50 to fund 3, to pay interest and bonds maturing during the fiscal year; also $430.64 to library fund. The funds were ordered transferred. The Southern Pacific company reported that 16,400 gallons of water had been used by engines of the company during October. In September 17,000 gallons were used, but the gravel train had been taken off. Rust suggested that unless the company install a tank as it had agreed, that a meter be installed. The board is of opinion the railroad company is using more water than the reports indicate, the figures being based upon estimates of firemen. On motion of Rust, bill was ordered forwarded for water used, as per report, and the clerk was instructed to notify the company that unless a meter or a tank be provided before January 1st city water will be shut off. Bills to the amount of $976.36 were audited and ordered paid. A communication was read from property owners on Lemon street, between Center and Santa Ana streets, asking that a 5½ foot sidewalk be constructed, and offering deed to property for same.

During figures, furnished by city of the San Francisco Exchange, show the shipley by sea from California, or the years ending June pulp quite readily, and seem to appreciate it. Some of our product is sent to Ohio and Indiana after we have reserved all we need for our own use. The season is a little late with us, due largely to wet weather. The rate of yield will probably not be very different from that of last year. Part of our fields were drowned out and the beets on low ground are smaller than on high. We are paying $4.50 for beets testing 12 per cent and 33 cents for each per cent more. DEATH TERMINATED HIS CAROUSAL John Niedecker Drops Dead in a Vacant Lot while Going for Breakfast John Niedecker, a native of Switzerland, aged 68 years, fell dead in a lot on Oak street, about 7:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. He was on his way to Dyckman's for breakfast, and was found by Dyckman while the latter was on his way to Niedecker's house taking his breakfast to him. Some days ago Niedecker, being ill as a result of a protracted spree, asked Dyckman to care for him while he lived, for, he said, he had only a few days more to survive. The kind-hearted restaurant man provided him with meals, and on Tuesday morning was on his way to Niedecker's with some coffee and boiled eggs when he found the unfortunate man lying in the lot, he having evidently just fallen. He called to him: "Niedecker, are you sick ?" The dying man rolled his eyes, but was unable to make answer. Dyckman ran for a physician, but on his return Niedecker was dead. Niedecker had been on a protracted spree for several weeks. He was a perpetual consumer of grog, and for years had been constantly under its influence. Recently he was paid a visit by some old-time friend and a season of heavy drinking resulted. On Sunday Joseph Backs went to Niedecker's home to get him to go to work. He found him lying upon the floor covered with blankets, unable to speak. His companion, who was also under the influence of liquor, said Niedecker would be right in a day or two. He was seen about town on Monday and early on Tuesday morning. He was suffering from his excesses, and while on his way for breakfast fell in the vacant lot and expired. Coroner Clark held an inquest upon the remains in the afternoon. A jury was empanelled consisting of C. Bruce. DEATH OF MRS.

Mastodon Workmen employed in excavating for the Salt Lake bridge over the Santa Ana river the other day unearthed the remains of a mastodon. The find was made in the bed of the river a short distance from the channel and but a little way below the surface. Mr. Brown, who has charge of a branch of the work, announced the nature of the find. He has resided in Alaska, and is familiar with the mas-todons found in those latitudes. When exposed to the air the remains, with the exception of the tusks, quickly dissipated into dust. The largest tusk thus far brought to light is about 16 inches long and six inches in diameter. When the find was reported to S.C. Evans of Riverside he went down and secured the specimen, placing it under a glass case to prevent further disintegration. He secured permission to make further investigations, and had had the land immediately about the find fenced off, and will go about the explorations in a systematic way. The find promises to be of the greatest scientific value from the fact that never before has any of the mas-todon species been found this far south.
