BOARD OF TRUSTEES TRANSACT MUCH BUSINESS Bills in Amount of $1522.51 Approved—Matter of Renaming Streets Informally Discussed — Resignation of Recorder Shanley Accepted The board of trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening, all the members present except Trustee Welsel. The report of the marshal showed the followed collections: For water, $225.30; for light, $417.90; for licenses, $490.75; for delinquent water, $16.75; for delinquent light, $17.50; total, $1148.20. The report of the treasurer showed a balance on hand in the general fund of $4108.65; in public library fund, $430.64; in improvement fund No. 1, $1155.00; No. 2, $168.00; No. 3, $607.50; making a total of cash on hand of $6469.79. The report of the tax collector of collections for the fiscal year 1902-3 showed a total tax list of $7702.49, all of which had been collected except a delinquent list of $281.11. The property described in the delinquent list has been sold and tax certificates issued therefor. The report of the marshal on street cleaning showed that $174.90 had been collected for that necessary work. The finance committee reported the approval of bills amounting to $1522.51. Trustee Berdrow of the sidewalk committee reported having talked with Mr. Darling, and that gentlemen said he would do nothing further in the matter. Trustee Fletcher of the committee on blew-off pipe and corporation shed reported progress. He favored the construction of a corrugated iron building 20x36 feet, 12-foot side walls. The report was accepted and the clerk instructed to advertise for bids for the construction of the building. Mr. Fletcher agreed to draw the plans and specifications and place them with the clerk. The matter of renaming streets in accordance with the suggestion of the chamber of commerce was discussed informally, also the matter of placing street signs on the various street corners. The respective merits of metal and wooden signs were canvassed, and the board seemed to be unanimously in U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau for Week Ending January 15 Cloudy or foggy weather and low temperature prevailed during the week in the central and northern sections and generally warm and clear weather in the south. Heavy frosts occurred frequently in many places. Light showers fell in some of the northern coast districts. Wheat, oats and barley continue in good condition, but are making slow growth during the cool, unfavorable weather. Hot, drying winds in portions of Southern California have absorbed the moisture in the soil to such an extent that irrigation is again necessary, although crops are in fair condition. Rain is badly needed in the sugar beet districts of Monterey and San Benito counties. Green feed is abundant and stock are generally in good condition. The orange crop of Southern California is reported considerably heavier and of better quality than that of last season, and has not yet been damaged by frost; picking and shipping are progressing. Grape vines and deciduous fruit trees are in excellent condition in all sections. Cold, cloudy and foggy weather has prevailed during the week in the Sacramento valley. Severe frosts have also occurred in many places. Early sown grain looks thrifty. Deciduous fruit trees are in good condition. The weather was generally cloudy in the coast and bay sections during the week, with low temperature and frequent heavy frosts. Citrus fruits at Cloverdale are in good condition. No rain fell in the San Joaquin valley during the past week. Grain is up and looking healthy. No damage reported from frost. Warmer weather with rain is needed. Clear, warm weather prevailed during the week in Southern California, with drying winds in some sections. Rain is needed. Grain is in good condition. Orange picking is progressing. The crop is larger and of better quality than last season's. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS On Tuesday evening Geo. A. Riley, P.G., of Santa Ana, installed officers of the local lodge, No. 199, I. O. O.F., as follows: E.A.Zeus, P.G.; O.Hill, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA The policy of the University of California in regard to the mooted question of shortening the college course and lowering the age at which university trained men may begin their life work is discussed by President Benj. Ide Wheeler in his second Biennial Report, just published. He holds that to grant the bachelor's degree at the end of the sophomore year, as recently suggested, would be a violence to the small colleges and a distinct loss to liberal education. He opposes the shortening of the college course to three years—"a New England tendency." To the question, "How may professional study be completed at an earlier age?" he answers that professional study may to advantage overlap with undergraduate work. President Wheeler announces a thorough-going reorganization of the courses of study of the University of California, with the aim of telescoping the undergraduate and professional courses, and yet of protecting the rights of those who do not expect to enter learned professions and who ought not to be robbed of a part of the established college course, nor yet forced to conform to patterns planned for professional education. An informal certificate of Junior standing will be granted upon the completion of the first two years of elementary work. Then, and not till then, may a student enter upon his advanced work. Two full years of residence must follow the receipt of this mid-course certificate. The work of these last two years will be advanced, and in methods both of teaching and study it will be sharply differentiated from the two earlier years. The break at the end of the Sophomore year furnishes the proper starting-point for the study of medicine or law or for preparation for university work. The next two years will be devoted to subjects fundamental to professional study, but which belong to the university as a whole rather than to the professional school, and then will follow for professional students two or three years of strictly professional training. "It is not the sole purpose," says President Wheeler, "nor even the prime purpose of the college to produce learned men or professional men." The new system will construction of a corrugated iron building 20x36 feet, 12-foot side walls. The report was accepted and the clerk instructed to advertise for bids for the construction of the building. Mr. Fletcher agreed to draw the plans and specifications and place them with the clerk. The matter of renaming streets in accordance with the suggestion of the chamber of commerce was discussed informally, also the matter of placing street signs on the various street corners. The respective merits of metal and wooden signs were canvassed, and the board seemed to be unanimously in favor of wooden signs. Trustee Rust moved that the committee on public improvements get figures on sign boards and posts per 100, including painting, and the motion was carried. The clerk reported the receipt of a letter from the Santa Fe railroad company, complaining of the advertisement by the tax collector in the delinquent list of a portion of their property, and claiming that the assessment was illegal. The controversy arose from the fact that the supervisors of the county, in their statement to the trustees of the number of miles of railroad in the city, omitted 8-100 miles of Santa Fe track, and the assessor assessed the same. The amount of the tax is $23.42, and the Santa Fe company, fearing it would have to pass a dividend if it paid this bill, and thus create a panic among its stockholders, threatened an injunction if the city should press its claim. The clerk read a copy of his reply to the commissionation, which met the approval of the board. It in effect stated that the city would not press the collection of the tax, but that particular pains would be taken to see that the company should hereafter be taxed for the full amount of mileage within the city. The Southern Pacific reported that the company had used 48,800 gallons of water at Loaura up to the time the meter was placed, on December 24th. A letter was read from A. E. Boothe of San Francisco, relinquishing his saloon license in the Commercial Hotel to F. J. Decker; also a petition from the latter for a transfer of the license. Moved by Trustee Rust that the transfer be granted, which motion was seconded by Trustee Fletcher and adopted. Trustee Ruat reported that City Recorder Shanley had asked him to tender his (Shanley's) resignation as recorder. The resignation was accepted. The petition of J. S. Howard for appointment as city recorder was received, and he received the appointment. A communication from the Anaheim Union Water Co., asking for permission to build a temporary culvert over West street, was granted, provided the culvert be made twenty feet wide, and to be put in under the supervision of the superintendent of streets.

Championship Bowling In the contest for a $2000 purse and the championship of the Pacific Coast in San Francisco last week between representatives from the Eugenees of that city and the Coliseums of Los Angeles in the two series of five games bowled by the Eugenes win by a total score of 9271 to 8898, together with a majority of games. Dysinger of the Coliseums scored high roll—246. The Coliseums also won honors for high score for single game—1000, making an average of 200 for each member of the team. Dee and McGrath of the Coliseums are well known in this city, having bowled on the local alleys on several occasions. The deciding games will be bowled in Los Angeles the latter part of this month. In Justice Court A high-roller from the county seat carried too long at the wine cup while in this city on Thursday of last week, and as a result found himself making the acquaintance of Judge Howard before the sun had set. He bemoans the introduction to His Honor in the amount of $15, that being his assessment for disturbance of the peace. Remarkable Cure of Croup—A Little Boy's Life Saved I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It saved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S.D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until he "threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine my boy would not be on earth today. Joel Demont, Inwood, Iowa. For sale by all druggists. OBITUARY. KNAPP.—Peter Knapp was born in Kingston, Canada, on November 17th, 1852. When 17 years of age he moved to Simeco county, where he resided at Minesing. During his residence there he was known as one of the most progressive farmers of the county, his farm being a model of equipment and cultivation. Owing to the heavy strain consequent to the management of such an enterprise his health weakened eight years ago. He showed the same spirit in fighting disease that always characterized his conflicts with difficulties. Traveling through different states in search of health, he three years ago selected Anaheim as having the best climate he had found, and brought his family here the following year. Those who have noticed from time to time the enthusiasm and energy displayed on his ranch at Katella can not help but feel that Orange county has lost a valuable man. He is survived by a wife and family of seven—four boys and three girls—who have the sincere sympathy of the community. Caught the Thief For some time past Ed Atherton, proprietor of the Fullerton ostrich farm, has been missing chickens from his ranch. The other day he set a trap for the prowler of the night, and the next morning found a large wildcat securely caught by the front feet in the steel jaws of the trap. The cat was soon dispatched and on account of its unusual size was taken to John Hiltscher of Fullerton to be mounted. Sportsmen who have seen the animal are of the opinion that it is the largest cat ever killed in the county. Mrs. Hughes of Montana is visiting at the home of her uscle, S. R. Herren. Mrs. Saunders of Los Angeles is visiting with Mrs. H. A. Young. The young people were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. Barters Saturday evening. Ed Young was home last week on visit with his parents. The special examiner of the pension bureau was in this community Friday. Miss Grace Swayze has returned from a visit with friends in Los Angeles. Yungbluth & Kroeger are closing out their entire stock of winter underwear at greatly reduced prices. Baseball Sunday, on the Lemon street grounds, the Boys in Blue again demonstrated the fact that they were "it" at the national game, their opponents on this occasion being nine husky lads from Orange. Judging from the torrid color of the suite worn by the visitors it was expected they would put up a hot game, but again appearances proved deceitful, as the score will show—23 for the Boys in Blue to 5 for the Orange aggregation. For hats, shirts, sweaters or wool underwear at greatly reduced prices see Yungbluth & Kroeger. Passed Muster H. Stern as captain, Ed. Zeus as first lieutenant, and L. Kroeger as second lieutenant of Co.L, N.G.C., went to Los Angeles the first of the week to take examinations as to their qualifications for their separate offices. They passed a most rigid examination with flying colors. REAL ESTATE BARGAINS W. C. Eymann kindly requests people with holdings to list the same with him. If you cannot call, write, giving full description of the ranch or other values with lowest price. Others desiring to purchase would do well to see him, for many years' residence here, with practical application, enables him to give you just what you want, as well as to recognize the true worth of any property under consideration.

The newer men—namely, Sherwood, Sheppard, Hale, Smith and Zeyn—are asking endorsement of the new order of things, while some of the older men of past boards are asking for a return to the old men and to the old order of business. Which shall it be? Under the "old order" the idea was to go ahead and buy reservoir sites and build reservoirs and buy ranches, and then investigate later to see if the sites or reservoirs or ranches were any good; while under the "new order" the idea is to thoroughly investigate first, and then buy and build after the proposition has been passed upon by competent judges. By the old method the Kramer reservoir proved itself worthless after the money had been expended to build it. Likewise the Durkee ranch fails to develop water after the cash outlay for it. The Yorba and La Habra reservoir sites were purchased by the old way, and by means of the new method the Yorba site is pronounced worthless by a competent engineer, and the La Habra proposition subordinated to other and more ready and feasible means of obtaining more water. Since disaster has overtaken all of these old propositions, the old members and their backers, I believe, practically admit that the newer men did well in stopping a further waste of $100,000 to $200,000; but put forth the novel idea that as there is now absolutely no further danger of either reservoir ever being built, there is no further use for the newer men; that is, that as the old craft is steered safely to shore, just throw the pilot overboard, as there is no further use for him. The books of the company show that the four propositions heretofore spoken of cost as follows: Reservoir account, 1888 (supposed by the writer to be the Kramer reservoir), $773 on the debit side, and on the credit side the words, "balanced off"; as the items that make up this $773 are principally brick, pipe and cement, it is supposed that this is not all that should have been "balanced off." The La Habra reservoir site, $12,000; one share of the Durkee ranch, $50,500; Yorba reservoir site, $5,280, making a total of $68,553 accounted for.
