The railroad companies will at the ensuing session of the legislature ask for the enactment of certain legislation in which the communities through which their tracks run are vitally interested. It is announced that a bill will be introduced providing for the abolishment of all grade crossings. The statement is made that the railway companies are moved to this action by "the loss of life and property in grade accidents, and the many lawsuits arising therefrom." The question arises, by whom should the expense of raised or lowered crossings be borne—by the railways or by the people? The idea of the company is said to be that it will pay the expense wherever its tracks have not the right of way; but if, on the other hand, the track was properly graded and the crossing was graded to approach the track, the expense must be borne by the public. How will this affect us in this city, where we have a dozen or more street crossings over the tracks of the two railroad companies? Must the city be put to the expense of maintaining steel viaducts above these tracks or tunneling under them? If so, we are free to say our people will be opposed to it as one man. Franchises were granted the companies for their lines of railway upon most liberal terms, always with the reservation that tracks conform to street grades and thoroughfares kept open to the traveling public. The city trustees have recently discussed the closing of Orange street from Center to Sycamore by the Santa Fe company, and steps have been taken to ascertain whether the company was within its rights in so doing. Citizens on Olive street have petitioned the city authorities to the effect that the Southern Pa winter's travel. Such immigrants as have come to California during the summer months have been tourists, traveling in cheaper cars, and who come for the purpose of obtaining employment or of purchasing for themselves a home. The cheap rates held out as an inducement to these people expired some days ago; yet the tide of west-bound immigration continues with vigor unabated. Indeed, more tourists have come to the coast during the three weeks of the present month than at any other like period this year. A recent arrival from Chicago, a lady residing in this city, states that when she arrived at the depot to take the train for home she found a thousand passengers waiting to take the train for California. It was the last day of the cheap-rate excursions, and the train had to be run west in four sections. Since the expiration of the cheap fares travel has increased until at the present time more people are journeying to California than at any time in her history. Added to the tourist travel are the wealthier people, who travel on limited trains and come to California merely to spend the winter. The advance guard of these are beginning to arrive, and this class of travel will continue on until April. They put up at the higher priced hotels, go extensively about Southern California, and return east in the spring. These two separate tides of immigration have brought and are bringing thousands of people to the State. Los Angeles hotels are becoming crowded, and the city is growing faster than any other of similar size in the country. This prosperity cannot help but affect all of Southern California advantageously, and Orange county is bound to reap its portion of it. The Citizens' Bank, which has for years been one of the potential factors in the upbuilding and development of this community, has this week changed into the First National Bank of Anaheim. Our readers are yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county posesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Nor since he has been in business in this city has Charles Federman companies for their lines of railway upon most liberal terms, always with the reservation that tracks conform to street grades and thoroughfares kept open to the traveling public. The city trustees have recently discussed the closing of Orange street from Center to Sycamore by the Santa Fe company, and steps have been taken to ascertain whether the company was within its rights in so doing. Citizens on Olive street have petitioned the city authorities to the effect that the Southern Pacific tracks did not conform to the street grade on that throughfare, and that the street was in places impassable to property owners living in that part of town. We believe franchises should be granted upon advantageous terms to these companies. The more railways we have the better. We look for the early construction of the Huntington electric railway line through town, and we believe every reasonable concession should be made it in order to have it constructed at as early a date as possible. But this viaduct question opens another feature of the case. If this projected law should pass and become operative, would the railway companies have the right to close those streets where such viaducts are not constructed? Senator Caldwell and Assemblyman Amerige will be looked to to protect the interests of the people in this matter. No closing of streets and no viaducts to be maintained by the people! The East Whittier ditch company is expanding its system and may enter Orange county for the sale of water to farmers and orchardists. It has let a contract for the construction of a 36 inch cement pipe line from the present terminus of the ditch in East Whittier to Brea canyon. Another contract has been let for a 30 inch pipe line south to Los Coyotes. Work has already been commenced on these lines, and in order to complete them in the 60 days specified in the contract a large force of men will be put to work. The same people have been receiving bids from contractors for an extension of the main pipe-line from the Orange county line to the 2200 acres purchased by the Townsend-Robinson Investment company near Brea canyon. This contract will be awarded in a few days. Surveys have been made and the pipe lines will be in before the water is needed for irrigation purposes. The pipe-lines will be of cement and the main ditch will be made. Los Angeles hotels are becoming crowded, and the city is growing faster than any other of similar size in the country. This prosperity cannot help but affect all of Southern California advantageously, and Orange county is bound to reap its portion of it. The Citizens' Bank, which has for years been one of the potential factors in the upbuilding and development of this community, has this week changed into the First National Bank of Anaheim. Our readers are already aware that the interests of Mr. H. Cahen in the Citizens' Bank were some time ago purchased by Mr. W. F. Botsford, president of the California Bank of Los Angeles. Mr. Botsford has been elected president of the new bank, John Hartung vice-president, and Chester Holcomb cashier. These gentlemen, with Frank Shauley and Peter Weisel, Sr., form the directorate, and one composed of stronger men, or men having a greater degree of confidence in the county, cannot be found in Southern California. Mr. Botsford's presidency cannot but be regarded as a circumstance fraught with the greatest good of only to our immediate locality, but to the whole of the county as well. He it was who first successfully financed the securities of the Anaheim Union Water company. When, a number of years ago, it was impossible for public corporations of this character to borrow money in Southern California, he seeing its soundness, opened the vaults of his bank to it, tendering it a helping hand. One of the heaviest stockholders in the water company himself, he foresaw that the investment was a good one, but his broad-minded liberality was nevertheless appreciated by our people. What has been the result of this enlightened policy? The company's stock, which went begging at $6 a few years ago, is now hard to get at $65 per share. We doubt if there are many companies in the State able to show a similar record. What Mr. Botsford has accomplished for the water company he has done, equally as successfully, in other lines of business. He is recognized today as the foremost financier in Southern California. His management of the California Bank stamps him as such. Already the deposits of the new bank go well up toward the $200,000 mark, and before the year is out no doubt the quarter of a million mark will have been reached. Mr. Botsford has associated with him in the bank men of means, integrity and character. John Hartung Nor since he has been in business in this city has Charles Federman been favored with a greater volume of business than he has enjoyed during the progress of his fall opening sale, which has continued for a forty-night past. Customers have filled his store early and late, and loads of goods have been taken away by people who came to attend the sale from far and near. Buyers have been attracted from the uttermost confines of the county, remarking that Anaheim was the best place to trade in the county. The goods sold were not only cheap, but were fresh from the wholesalers' hands, and good values were in each case given. Mr. Federman is a believer in printers' ink, and continues his announcement to the public in this issue. Read his advertisement and then go to his store and acquaint yourself with the greatest bargains he has offered since being in business here. CAPT. M. J.

This year that county gives Smythe a majority of 100. Santa Fe Directors At a meeting of the stockholders of the Southern California Railway company, held in Los Angeles some days ago, all the present executive officers were re-elected, as follows: President—E. P. Ripley. First Vice President—E. D. Kenna. Second Vice President—Paul Morton. Third Vice President—J. W. Hendrick. Secretary and Treasurer — Godfrey The same people have been receiving bids from contractors for an extension of the main pipe-line from the Orange county line to the 2200 acres purchased by the Townsend-Robinson Investment company near Brea canyon. This contract will be awarded in a few days. Surveys have been made and the pipe lines will be in before the water is needed for irrigation purposes. The pipe-lines will be of cement and the main ditch will be made over to give it a larger capacity and to make it dirt and mud proof. The water will be as pure when it reaches the Orange county line as when it comes out of the wells in Sycamore canyon, and can be used for domestic purposes as well as for irrigation. The company has several hundred inches of water developed, but is putting in additional wells, and will continue development till it has 800 inches, which are supposed to be sufficient to irrigate 8000 acres of citrus or walnut orchards. The 2200 acre tract purchased by the Long Beach syndicate in La Habra will be platted and a new town started when these pipe lines and the electric line survey are settled on. While in the Arcade depot in Los Angeles the other day we had the pleasure of looking through the Golden State Limited train, which had just arrived, loaded with passengers, 66 hours from Chicago. This train is said to be the most luxuriously fitted-up train in the western passenger service. It consists of a number of vestibuled sleepers, and carries observation and dining cars, bathroom, barber-shop, and buffet cars. These superb limited trains are just beginning to run for the water company he has done, equally as successfully, in other lines of business. He is recognized today as the foremost financier in Southern California. His management of the California Bank stamps him as such. Already the deposits of the new bank go well up toward the $200,000 mark, and before the year is out no doubt the quarter of a million mark will have been reached. Mr. Botsford has associated with him in the bank men of means, integrity and character. John Hartung is known to us all, having resided here for many years and been engaged in different lines of business successfully. Chester Holcomb, as cashier, is the right man in the right place. Of Messrs. Shanley and Weisel it is necessary only to say they have the confidence and respect of our people. They will add strength to the bank, which starts out upon its new career with every promise of attaining success for itself and continuing to be a helpful factor in the upbuilding of the community. The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaued county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, Santa Fe Directors At a meeting of the stockholders of the Southern California Railway company, held in Los Angeles some days ago, all the present executive officers were re-elected, as follows: President—E. P. Ripley. First Vice President—E. D. Kenna. Second Vice President—Paul Morton. Third Vice President—J. W. Hendrick. Secretary and Treasurer — Godfrey Holterhoff, Jr. Assistant Secretary—L. C. Deming. Assistant Treasurer—H. W. Gardiner of New York. General Counsel—Victor Morawetz of New York. General Solicitor—E. D. Kenna. Comptroller—D. L. Gallop of New York. General Auditor—H. C. Whitehead of Chicago. Directors were re-elected as follows: E. P. Ripley, R. Somers Hayes, Victor Morawetz, Charles Steele, A. G. Wells, (vice W. G. Nevin, deceased); Daniel Freeman and W. H. Hellman of Los Angeles; O. S. A. Sprague of Pasadena; Simon Levi of San Diego; Richard Egan of Capistrano; L. C. Walte of Riverside. J. C. Ord, justice of the peace of Los Alamitos township, and R. E. Powell, constable of the same township, were in town on Tuesday and dropped in to see us for a fraternal call. Judge Ord was recently re-elected to his office by a flattering majority, and Powell was elected constable by a 2 to 1 vote. Fred Miller, who conducted the Del Campo hotel here a number of years ago, but for some years past has been a resident of the northern part of the State, was in town on Tuesday shaking hands with friends. A. W. Danforth went to Los Angeles on Tuesday to see Frank Smith off to Boston. Mr. Smith goes East on account of the illness of his father, and purposes returning in three or four weeks.

Samuel O Wood makes affidavit that the map made by him recorded in considerable damage to late crops in the northern districts, and there was some loss of live stock. The soil is now in excellent condition in all sections, and plowing and seeding are progressing rapidly. Summer-fallowed grain is making rapid growth in the central and northern sections, and green feed is abundant in all places. Volunteer grain is growing rapidly. Potatoes are rotting on the ground in portions of Sonoma county, owing to the continued heavy rains, and there will be considerable loss. Grapes remaining on the vines were ruined by the heavy rains. Raisins in San Diego county were not materially damaged by the rain of last week, as ample warnings had been given. Prunes have been somewhat injured by the continued damp weather. Orange picking and packing are progressing in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys, and carload shipments have been made from Fresno county. Southern California oranges are coloring rapidly, and picking will begin soon. The orange crop is reported nearly average, and the fruit is of large size and excellent quantity. Heavy rain fell Monday in all sections of the San Joaquin valley. The rain was beneficial in preparing the ground for plowing and seeding, but did some damage to the wine grapes in the vineyards. Large quantities of grapes are being shipped to the wineries. Some prunes are still on the trays, and are drying slowly on account of the cool, damp weather. Plowing and seeding are going on rapidly, and the early-sown grain is coming on nicely. Suit has been begun against Sheriff Lacy by Mrs. Jeanette Jones and E. B. Babcock, who seek to recover the value of property alleged to have been taken from them wrongfully by the sheriff on execution.
