CITY TRUSTEES TRANSACT ROUTINE BUSINESS Hear Report of Street Grading and that the Southern Pacific is Putting Up That Tank at Loafa The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Trustees Schneider, Berdrow and Weisel; absent, Rust and Fletcher. It was the last meeting of the year, and the session was brief, only routine business being transacted. Clerk Merritt read the minutes of the last regular meeting, which were approved as read. Trustee Berdrow of the finance committee reported approval of bills to the amount of $477 50 against the municipality. Warrants were accordingly ordered drawn in payment therefor. Trustee Weisel of the committee on public improvements reported that drain pipes had been placed on Broadway and Los Angeles streets and that Elm street was being graded. Chartress street, he added, would be the next thoroughfare graded. Marshal Steadman reported that he had purchased the necessary springs for the city oil wagon. The matter of the sidewalk on Lemon street, as petitioned for by property owners living between Center and Santa Ana street, was taken up and discussed and was laid over to await the getting together of those interested and agreeing upon a walk of uniform length, breadth and thickness, deeds to which must be executed to the city before the work of constructing the walk will be considered. Trustee Berdrow expressed the opinion that more sidewalks should be put down in town. That recently constructed at the high school was, he said, a bird of a walk, and more ought to be made like it. The blow-off pit at the city power house was discussed, as well as the construction of a series of commodious sheds at the corporation yard, for the housing of municipal paraphernalla, including that team of mules, which are not yet insured to the usages of civilization, being poco bronco. Trustee Fletcher has plans and specifications drawn for the sheds, and in his absence from the meeting the matter went over without action. Clerk Merritt reported that he had been advised by Mr. Darling of the or- Champagne Insane Albert Champagne, a tailor employed for some months past in this city, became mentally unbalanced on Friday afternoon and wandered off, being found by J. K. Walker of La Habra in that neighborhood wandering aimlessly about late at night. Champagne was attired in nothing but his shirt. His clothing and shoes had disappeared. It is thought he became insane and disrobed while wandering about the hills. Crawford detained him and the next day he was taken to Santa Ana, whence he was on Tuesday committed to the asylum at Highland. Champagne had manifested signs of insanity for some time past. He was paid good wages, being a good mechanic. He had not been at work for some days previous to his departure. He was well dressed and had some $30 or $40 on his person at the time of his leave-taking. It is said insanity was caused through unrequited love. Champagne did not drink to excess, but were on periodical sprees, at which time he manifested evidences of derangement. He was popular with a number of young men about town, among whom his misfortune excites pity. Farewell Party At the residence of J. B. Rea on Saturday evening the Middles of the high school tendered a farewell party to Sylvain and Edmond Cahen, who leave shortly with their parents to reside in Los Angeles. The parlor and sitting room were beautifully decorated with red ribbon streamers extending from the chandeliers to the sides of the room, red being the class color. The rooms were also decorated with holly, smilax, violets and a bit of mistletoe. Miss Kate Rea, teacher of the class, acted as hostess and all enjoyed themselves to the utmost. The dining room was nicely decorated, the table being strewn with smilax and violets. The menu consisted of chichen salad, sandwiches, several kinds of cake, ice cream and punch. When the guests departed they were served with either coffee or chocolate. Those present were Sylvain Cahen and Edmond Cahen, Eugene Bayha, John Boege, Roy Clabaugh, Earl Crawford, Fritz Eckstein, Alice Hatfield, Martin Hamrick, Lizzie McAulay, Fay McKinley, Hulda Newman, Annis New- MINUTES OF WATER BOATING Furnished by the Secretary of the company.

The blow-off pit at the city power house was discussed, as well as the construction of a series of commodious sheds at the corporation yard, for the housing of municipal paraphernalia, including that team of mules, which are not yet inured to the usages of civilization, being poco bronco. Trustee Fletcher has plans and specifications drawn for the sheds, and in his absence from the meeting the matter went over without action. Clerk Merritt reported that he had been advised by Mr. Darling of the octopus that his company had erected that tank at Loara junction, the same to be used for storing water for the company's engines. Water has been drawn from the city water main at that point for this purpose by the by guess method, without the assistance of a meter, the company sending in a statement monthly in triplicate of the amount of water used, as furnished it by its engineers. The city some months ago notified the company that unless a tank be erected so that a meter might be installed and water accurately measured, the supply would be shut off the first of the year. The tank having been erected, work began yesterday on the installation of a two-inch meter. Contract with the Electric Appliance company of Chicago was signed up and placed on file. According to the provisions of the same the city obligates itself to purchase from the company, for the term of one year, all the electric and water meters used by the city during that time. Prices to be the lowest in the market for first-class goods, and if market lowers during the year, the city to have the advantage of it; but no advance in present prices to be made during the year. Fifteen water meters and 24 electric meters have already been purchased on the contract, have arrived and are being installed. Natural Gas Messrs. Bayha and Dussourt called in to see us yesterday and informed us natural gas and artesian water had been struck in the oil well of the Anaheim Landing Mining and Development company situated at the Landing. The strike was made on Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The gas was kept burning all night, and yesterday morning the boys cooked their breakfast with it. The company will now put up a standard rig and be prepared to go down 1000 feet in search of oil which it is persuaded exists in abundance at the site of its well.

They have issued invitations to friends to be their guests on that day, and an enjoyable time is looked forward to.

Kraemer Divorce Judge Ballard has granted Mrs. Emma Kraemer a divorce from her husband, E. M. Kraemer, on grounds of extreme cruelty.

Mrs. Kraemer was given the custody of her four children and given judgment for $3000, which amount was alleged to be half the net value of the property which was held in common by the parties interested. Defendant was given ninety days in which to appeal the judgment, and the plaintiff was further awarded the sum of $15 per month for the care of the children.

Do the people prefer Christmas trees to water, is the question which is now troubling the Colorado board of horticulture. The board evidently thinks the fluid is the most essential of the two, as it condemns the wanton cutting of pine and spruce trees to be used on the day of the Nativity. The business of supplying trees for the holidays has expanded to such a degree that experts declare the water supply is endangered. Thousands and thousands of trees are cut down each winter to be used in Colorado homes and also to be shipped to eastern states. The bulk of those exported from the state are sent to Kansas and Nebraska. Several carloads, it is said, were shipped this year beyond those states. Many arrests will no doubt be made in a few days, as it is claimed that the trees in many instances have been removed from the state reserve. Federal reservations have also suffered heavily, it is reported, and a thorough investigation will follow. An appeal will be made to Governor Orman to have him send special officers up Platte and Clear Creek canyons to arrest the timber thieves or at least prevent them from taking any more valuable shade trees. Potted Plants Potted plants make beautiful Christmas gifts. Mrs. Gates has a fine line of begonias and ferns at reasonable rates. Another Contest Edgar Johnson of the Fullerton Bunghole has begun an action contesting the election of C. K. Ford, who defeated him for the office of justice of the peace for Fullerton township at the recent election. Ford's majority was 1 vote.

The motion was seconded by Brandon and adopted. A communication from Mrs. E. Baker referred to a certificate of stock to be transferred and claimed to enable to furnish satisfactory authors for the transfer. The secretary was structured to reply to same, stating that as soon as such proof was presented the transfer would be granted. Transfers were granted from N. Nevin, trustee, to A. G. Wells, trustee one share; also from C. H. Thayer Geo. M. Young, six shares. On motion, the price of water left at 20 cents per head till next month of the board.

On motion the report of Engineer Eaton was adopted. The meeting then adjourned to meet at 1:30 p.m. At 1:30 the meeting was again carried to order by Vice-President Hale; the report was again read to the board and assembled stockholders; who filled the room. After the report had been read there was a general discussion of the various recommendations, and the consensus opinion seemed to be among stockholders, as well as directors, that as much as possible of the plans recommended should be put into execution in time be available for the irrigating season of 1903.

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY A Mild Document Presented to the Superior Court on Tuesday—Minor Matters Touched Upon The grand jury presented its report on Tuesday morning to Judge J. W. Ballard of the superior court and was duly discharged. The report is brief, and contains suggestions as to the desirability of making certain stated improvements in the equipment of the Santa Ana fire department and a recommendation that the use of oil for road sprinkling be continued by the county. The only decided stand taken in the report is the outspoken condemnation of the electric service in the city of Santa Ana, which is characterized as inadequate, and the recommendation is made that the city vote bonds to install a lighting system under municipal control. The jury examined the books of the clerk, treasurer and marshal in Anaheim and found them neatly kept and correct. The receipts and expenditures of Anaheim are as follows: To cash balance Nov. 1, 1902... $6,949 66 Total receipts to Nov. 1, 1902... 17,229 75 By disbursement Nov. 1, 1901, to Nov. 1, 1902... $18,211 64 By balance... $2,967 77 In Orange the jury examined the books of the justice of the peace and recorder and found them correct. The books of the city clerk and treasurer of Orange are not kept in quite as neat a manner as the jury would desire, still it found them correct. The marshal's books are correct. Receipts and expenditures for Orange: To cash balance Nov. 1, 1901... $1,272 57 To receipts Nov. 1, 1902... $4,348 19 By disbursements Nov. 1, 1901, to Nov. 1, 1902... $3,663 96 Balance on hand Nov. 1, 1902... $1,856 80 The total receipts of the county for the year past are placed at $278,623.24, with expenditures, $314,396.34, and a balance in the hands of the county treasurer, December 17, of $142,780.45. For the incorporated cities and towns, Santa Ana has received $53,301.75, and disbursed $52,172.35; Anaheim has received $17,229.75, and expended $18,-211.64; Orange has received $4248.19, and expended $3663.16. Santa Ana is congratulated for its board of education LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST The Rainfall The rainfall to date, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, amounts to 4.63 inches; last season to date, 1.68; the year before, 4.08. In that year (1900-01) a total of 12.97 inches fell. In the season of 99-'00 we had to date 3.70 inches, and a total for the season of 7.84. Mr. Darling at the Southern Pacific depot records a total precipitation for the season amounting to 5.46 inches. There has been a plentiful fall of snow on the mountains. The rain has been followed by ideal growing weather, and grain and grass is promising well. Those Marked Ballots. When Attorney Meserve of Los Angeles made his "roar" about the illegality of the vote in precinct 1 of this city, in the matter of the election contest against Z. B. West, he evidently slipped a cog in his reading of the law. Meserve is said to have sharply criticized the action of the two inspectors of that election precinct—W. F. Middleham and H. A. McWilliams—in that they each affixed their signatures to the back of each ballot as it was drawn from the box. He declared, so reports have it, that this act was contrary to the election laws, and not only invalidated the vote of the precinct, but laid the entire election board liable to arrest. But the able Los Angeles lawyer had probably overlooked section 1253 of the election laws, which says: * **He [the inspector] must then proceed to take out of the box the ballots, unopened, one at a time, numbering them on the backs in numerical order, commencing with number 1, and writing with ink the initials of his own name upon the back of each ballot, as soon as taken out. He shall pass each ballot as soon as thus endorsed, to the additional inspector who must, in like manner, write thereon the initials of his own name, so that each ballot may be subsequently identified by either or both inspectors." This is precisely what McWilliams and Middleham did. Inspectors of elections in Los Angeles county have said during the week they did the same thing in their precincts.
