UNUSUAL BIT OF WEATHER Heaviest Santa Ana Wind in Years Damages Orange Crop—Mountain Fires' Signal Lights. One day last week an-old-fashioned Santa Ana wind sprung up early in the morning and continued on contract time until late in the afternoon. It was the first genuine Santa Ana the valley had had this season, and it kept up the reputation of its predecessors by making things as unpleasant as the law allowed. In the evening, when the wind had in great part subsided, and only an desultory gust gave indications that it might continue on in an all-night session, an unusual thing occurred. A heavy fog bank rolled in, chilling the atmosphere, settling the dust and making existence once more a delight in this summer land where the wind never blows. The fog was the heaviest of the year. At 10 o'clock one could hardly see across the street, and next morning people coming into town from the country bore evidences of the dampness. Ideal weather prevailed for a few days, when, on Thursday night, a desert gale blew up which continued with alight intermission until Sunday evening. The wind on Friday tended to suspend business operations for most part throughout the county. Indeed reports from many sections of Southern California were to the effect that the worst wind in years was raging from Redlands to San Diego. The storm continued during Friday night and Saturday, with fitful intermissions, but blew up again on Saturday night. On Sunday morning the sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and during the early morning a sprinkle of rain fell. During the day indications of rain continued, but no downpour came of it. Reports from many counties in Southern California are to effect that considerable damage was sustained by the orange crop, in some places 50 per cent of loss being reported. In this section no rain has fallen this year, except showers in September. It is the first time in years that no rain has fallen in October and November. But there is yet time for a flood. A two-inch rainstorm about this time would tend to brighten up the holiday WATER BOARD IN SESSION Resume of Proceedings at Meeting on Saturday Afternoon. Regular meeting of board of directors with following members present: Directors Crowther, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. On motion reading of the minutes of last meeting was dispensed with. Director Zeyn reported that he had investigated the matter of the pipe applied for by S. A. Bedell. Moved by McDermont, seconded by Zeyn, that Mr. Bedell have permission to lay pipe across Orangethorpe avenue at his own expense and under the supervision of the A.U.W.Co. superintendent. Carried. Director McDermont reported the zanjero house as nearly finished. C.A.Bissell presented a bid for the finishing and installing of a Deming improved hydraulic ram and water tank, etc., all complete at the reservoir, for use of zanjero for domestic water, for the sum of $189.50. The bid was placed on file. The report of the finance committee was accepted and filed and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various amounts. The reports of the secretary and treasurer were received and filed. On motion the president and secretary were authorized to sign warrants as follows: Favor of William Berkenstock, the sum of $46 as payment for seven fumigating tents; also the sum of $16.95 in favor of H.Gade for hauling. Applications on file for transfer of stock were granted by the board. An indemnity bond in the sum of $300 was presented by R.H.Gilman in lieu of a certificate lost, and petition was made that the three shares represented by the lost certificate be transferred to E.I.Ames. The bond was referred to the attorney and authority given for the transfer as soon as recommended by the attorney. Moved by Director McDermont, seconded by Director Zeyn, resolved that the president and secretary be and they are hereby authorized to issue a warrant for the sum of $50 as payment of the reward offered by the A.U.W.Co. for the capture and conviction of W.R.Magnard said warrant to be issued. PERSONAL MENTION Rev. Wilkinson of Pittsburg is a guest of Judge Shanley. Judge F.O.Daniel was a business visitor in town the fore part of the week from Santa Ana. J.N.Long of Garden Grove and J.Johnson of Westminster were business visitors in town on Monday morning. Fred Maurer has been on the sick list this week, having been confined to his home several days with a bad cold. The displays made by various sections of the county continue to attract, and a mammoth register is being manufactured in which names of visitors may be entered. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Nagle, parents of A.Nagle of this city, have arrived from Indiana, accompanied by their daughter, Miss Carrie Nagle, and will remain during the winter. Will Nance arrived in town on Monday evening from Missouri. Mr. Nance is a practical farmer, and is looking for a man to snow him the way to get a job on a farm in Southern California.

Mr.Packard is a son of Prof.Packard, formerly of this city, and has many friends here abont. A.T.Pendleton was in town on Saturday from Placentia.

He has already procured the frame for Bruin, and as soon as his assistant completes his task of opening and during the early morning a sprinkle of rain fell. During the day indications of rain continued, but no downpour came of it. Reports from many counties in Southern California are to effect that considerable damage was sustained by the orange crop, in some places 50 per cent of loss being reported. In this section no rain has fallen this year, except showers in September. It is the first time in years that no rain has fallen in October and November. But there is yet time for a flood. A two-inch rainstorm about this time would tend to brighten up the holiday trade in town and improve property in the county at large. The weather clerk will please take notice. A forest fire at Fredaiba Park, on the mountains above Redlands, destroyed property valued at many thousand dollars. Flames started from a spark emitted by an engine in a sawmill and soon spread, ultimately covering a territory of fifty square miles. This fire burned two days and nights, and was fought by hundreds of men from Redlands and neighboring parts. The fire could be seen from valley points at night, and during the day; gloups smoke intermingled with banks of dust were blown up by the wind storm. MR. STOCKTON FALLS DOWN Comes from Santa Ana on a scientific Mission, Turns Desperado and Lands in Jail. Mr. Stockton blew over from Santa Ana on Tuesday evening to investigate reports prevalent to the effect that the wind of some days ago had damaged the vinegar bitters crop. He found the reports had been so exaggerated that when the time came for retiring in Davis' lodging-house some time before midnight, he determined to raise a young riot in the house. He was ejected from the premises by the proprietor, against whom he threatened all sorts of vengeance. Mr. Stockton manifested a desire to further molest the drowsy car of night, and Constable Llewellyn placed him under arrest and escorted him to the city bastille. Llewellyn having no key to the front door, Stockton was not securely locked inside, and some time thereafter he again made his appearance upon the streets, more bolsterous and bloodthirsty than ever. It is surmised his hobo companion had unhooked the calaboose door from the outside and liberated him. Mr. Stockton was rearrested yesterday morning after daylight, after a sleepless night of carousel. "He kept us awake all night," said one of the lodgers when Mr. Stockton had been again placed in jail by Llewelyn and the door securely locked and bolted. "I am a stranger here." this man continued, "and was afraid to interfere, because I thought he might have a pistol." Mr. Stockton claims to be a printer SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

University of California To provide more comfortable living accommodations for students of the university is the object for which a committee of faculty members and alumni Mr. Stockton was rearrested yesterday morning after daylight, after a sleepless night of carousel. "He kept us awake all night," said one of the lodgers when Mr. Stockton had been again placed in jail by Llewelyn and the door securely locked and bolted. "I am a stranger here." this man continued, "and was afraid to interfere, because I thought he might have a pistol." Mr. Stockton claims to be a printer and a gentleman, but Mr. Davis thinks he is a desperado and bad man. Mr. Stockton pleaded in justification of his offense that he had 84, which is probably more than he ever had before at any one given time. Judge Howard imposed a fine of $60 or 30 days in jail. Mr. Stockton chose the latter, and was taken across the river. Wall Paper Remnants 21c., 3c. and 4c. per roll, at Jos. Backs & Son. Nov 12 tf Give us a trial and we know you will be pleased. Hutchinson's drug store THE OLD RELIABLE ROYAL BAKING POWI Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE University of California To provide more comfortable living accommodations for students of the university is the object for which a committee of faculty members and alumni has just been formed. As there are no dormitories at the University of California, the students live in boardinghouses and in fraternity houses and club houses conducted on a co-operative basis. A club house loan fund is to be raised by subscription, which will enable groups of students upon organizing a boarding club to obtain funds for the purchase of furniture and other initial equipment. Once this equipment has been provided, such student organizations have no difficulty in maintaining themselves on a co-operative basis, assuring for themselves, moreover, a comfortable and pleasant home, congenial companionships and proper surroundings at reasonable expense. Student clubs which obtain their club house equipment through the medium of this fund will repay in ten annual installments the total amount advanced. The sea life in the waters of San Diego bay will be studied during the Christmas holidays by an expedition from the department of zoology of the University of California, under the direction of Professor William E. Ritter. This work is in continuance of the investigations carried on last summer, and like those has been made possible by the kind aid of the citizens of San Diego.
