CITY ELECTIONS DARLING AND TYLER ELECTED TRUSTEES Steadman Defeats Martin. Merritt Beats Backs—Anaheim Votes Against Sunday Closing of Saloons; Fulferton Votes Wet. Monday occurred the municipal election, and the Sunday closing people met with a reverse. They put up a great fight, but were beaten not only by an expression of voters upon the question of closing of saloons on the Sabbath, but their candidates for city trustees were beaten. Three hundred and ten votes were polled, out of a total registration of 330. Considerable activity prevailed during the day, yet the election was the quietest held in town in years. Carriages were out bringing voters to the polls for different candidates, and half the vote was in the ballot-box by noon. The count showed the following result: FOR CITY TRUSTEES T. A. Darling...199 Dr. Tyler...198 L. E. Miller...108 C. A. Bissell...89 Darling and Tyler elected. MARSHAL N. F. Steadman...178 Fritz Martin...124 Steadman's majority, 54. CITY CLERK E. B. Merritt...175 Joseph M. Backs...120 Merritt's majority, 55. TREASURER John Hartung...241 No opposition. SUNDAY CLOSING Yes...118 No...145 Majority for latter, 27. When the result was announced friends of the victorious candidates became enthusiastic and congratulations were offered them. Later in the evening the band marched to the residences of the successful candidates and ten- THE SHEARS, THE TOURIST AND THE HUMORISTS. O'ertrue Tafe Concerning the Mysterious Disappearance of the Former, as Told By the Latter. From the Los Angeles Examiner, Tuesday, April 12th: ANAHEIM, April 11.—For a time today it looked as though the wheels of progress would have to go out of business and civilization scoot far down the toboggan. The trusty shears of Editor Kuchel of the Anaheim Gazette were filched by a moth-eaten journalist, who claimed to be from Los Angeles, and their loss meant disaster more far-reaching than the human mind can realize. For without those shears there could be no "copy" for the Gazette, and without copy the Gazette's columns would, perforce, be barren of those profound brain throbs that move the world. [Right.] Editor Kuchel was the recipient of a social call from R. N. James [true name, Bob Caples], one of the greatest writers connected with American journalism. He must be all of this, for he said so himself, but Editor Kuchel is haunted by the suspicion that his visitor was a loathsome hireling of some reptilian rival in the journalistic field, who sought to destroy the Gazette's power and usefulness. At any rate, Brother Kuchel had been busily plying the instrument of his noble profession (or the noble instrument of his profession) prior to his visitor's entrance, and, in fact, laid aside the trenchant blades to greet the caller. After James [Caples] had told of his greatness, smoked the editor's pipe as a token of fellowship, and sought to negotiate Kuchel adroitly 'side-steped', he took his departure. With him went the shears. After pondering for a time on the immensity of his visitor's nerve, the editor turned to resume his labor of enlightening the people. It was then that he discovered his loss. With a bound he cleared the sanctum and landed in the street. Instinct directed him in his search for the miscreant, and James [Caples] was overhauled in a saloon, where he was striving to induce the clerk of the emporium to exchange a small quantity of wet goods for the stolen property. James [Caples] was handed over to the constable and haled before Justice Howard, who delivered an impressive oration on the enormity of the offense of interfering with the spreading of Anaheim's fame, after which he handed out a sixty-day floater to the culprit, who did not require that many minutes. STATE INDUSTRIES GEN. CHIPMAN ISSUES INTERESTING PAMPHLET Showing Gratifying Increase of Products of the Soil, as Compared with Preceding Year—Southern California well to the Front. So much inquiry is current throughout the United States concerning the conditions attending life and the varied industries in California, that the California State Board of Trade, an official body representing all sections of the state, has prepared an abstract of the annual report of its president, Gen. N. P. Chipman, for the year 1903. The report is a pamphlet of sixty pages, including a vast amount of detail. Only the closest condensation of the statements contained therein is possible in this connection. The report gives the shipments of fruit from California and the products of minerals, etc., for the year 1903 to have been as follows: There were shipped from the state 104,198.7 tons of green deciduous fruits; 299,623.4 tons of citrus fruits; 149,531.1 tons of dried fruits; 39,963.4 tons of raisins; 9,377.4 tons of nuts; 69,609.8 carloads of fruits by rail and sea; 8,661.8 carloads of vegetables by rail and sea; 9,733.2 carloads of wine and brandy by rail and sea; 88,084.4 carloads of fruit, vegetables, wine and brandy by rail and sea. There was a net gain in 1903 of 10,-546 carloads as compared with the shipments of 1902, of which 7395 carloads were citrus fruits. Vegetables made a gain of 1705 carloads; wine and brandy a gain of 865 carloads; canned fruit a gain of 1356 carloads; and green deciduous fruits a gain of 380 carloads. The raisin output of 1903 was greater than that of any preceding year. Most of the oranges are grown in the southern part of the state. The raisin center is in Fresno county and vicinity; the prune center is in Santa Clara county and vicinity. Of the dried fruit over 85 percent goes from the northern and central portions of the E. B. Merritt 175 Joseph M. Backs 120 Merritt's majority, 55. TREASURER John Hartung 241 No opposition. SUNDAY CLOSING Yes 118 No 145 Majority for latter, 27. When the result was announced friends of the victorious candidates became enthusiastic and congratulations were offered them. Later in the evening the band marched to the residences of the successful candidates and tendered them a serenade. Firecrackers popped in the street until a late hour, and there was more noise and enthusiasm over what some of the boys called a great victory. Dr. Chapman said, at his lecture at the Christian church last fall, "Anaheim next!" But the old gentleman has another guess coming. FULLERTON The Chapman ticket swept the boards at Fullerton's election on Monday, but on a direct vote for or against saloons the town went wet by a vote of 159 to 133. The election was the most spirited ever held in the new town, there being seven candidates up for election to fill a board of five trustees. Jake Stern and Peter Schumacher were defeated, although strenuous efforts were made on the part of their friends to elect them. John Gardner polled the highest vote—285. Total vote: E. R. Amerge, 269; E. K. Benchley, 171; C. C. Chapman, 176; G. C. Clark, 190; J. R. Gardner, 285; Jake Stern, 143; P. A. Schumacher, 120. W. A. Barnes was elected marshal over C. E. Ruddock by a vote of 162 to 131. George Ruddock was elected clerk and J. E. Ford treasurer without opposition. For licensing saloons, 159; against, 133. ORANGE Trustees—Three to elect for four-year term and one for two-year term. S. Armor, 127; H. Gardiner, 44; G. D. Toothaker, 186; F. M. Cosart, 27; J. C. Williams, 125; A. E. Ott, 125. Trustee for two-year term—D. C. Drake, 101; J. P. Small, 102. Clerk—H. Wyneken, 180; no opposition. Treasurer—D. C. Pixley, 205; no opposition. Marshal—R. J. Fyffe, 124; A. G. Houghton, 112. Accordingly Armor and Toothaker are elected to four-year terms, J. P. Small elected to the two-year term. There was a tie in the case of Ott and Williams for the four-year term, which will necessitate special election to determine the results of this case. Clerk Wyneken and Treasurer Pixley were elected without opposition. School Census Marshals. County Superintendent of Schools J. B. Nichols has appointed the following marshals to take the census of school children in the various precincts of the county: Alamitos, Mrs. Susan Beckett; Anaheim, James S. Hatfield; Bolas editor turned to resume his labor of enlightening the people. It was then that he discovered his loss. With a bound he cleared the sanctuary and landed in the street. Instinct directed him in his search for the miscreant, and James [Caples] was overhauled in a saloon, where he was striving to induce the clerk of the emporium to exchange a small quantity of wet goods for the stolen property. James [Caples] was handed over to the constable and haled before Justice Howard, who delivered an impressive oration on the enormity of the offense of interfering with the spreading of Anaheim's fame, after which he handed out a sixty-day floater to the culprit, who did not require that many minutes to absent himself from town. Editor Kuhel returned in triumph to his sanctuary with his cherished shears. From the local correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, Tuesday morning, April 12th, we quote as follows: R. N. James [true name, "Bobby" Caples] of Los Angeles called at the Anaheim Gazette office yesterday on a visit, and informed the editor of that paper that he was an expert editorial writer. Shortly after he left, Editor Kuhel missed the shears from the editorial desk and started out in pursuit of James [Caples], who was located and placed under arrest. The Los Angeles visitor, who was slightly under the influence of beer, returned the shears to the editor, and Justice Howard gave him [the visitor, not the editor] a sixty-day floater out of the county. The shears are on duty again.[The paper appears on time, as usual.] [The editor bows his head and weeps. As Prof. Knix would have it, when the shears are on the spot, den ISS it. Some people have greatness thruss upon them.] CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Routine Business Transacted and Certificates Ordered Issued to New City Officials. The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; all members present. Marshal Steadman reported collections as follows: For water, $247.65; license, $482.25; light, $455·40; delinquent water, $14·50; delinquent light, $31·45; total, $1231·25.

Mr. Fletcher, of the committee on oil sprinkling apparatus, made a report of his investigations as to the best apparatus for the city to purchase, his report having special reference to the White machine. Most of the oranges are grown in the southern part of the state. The raisin center is in Fresno county and vicinity; the prune center is in Santa Clara county and vicinity. Of the dried fruit over 85 percent goes from the northern and central portions of the state, and these sections ship an exceedingly large percentage of the canned fruits. The walnuts are principally grown in the south, while the almonds are mostly from the north. The fresh peaches, pears, cherries, plums, apricots, etc., nearly all go from north of the Teachapi mountains, which divide Southern California from Central and Northern California. The annual production of wine is now about 30,000,000 gallons. The value of the diary products in 1903 was $30,436,152. The beet sugar output in 1903 was 65,380 tons. The wheat crop of 1902-3 was $62,785 tons, including flour; the rye crop was 120,842 centals; the hop production 10,545,000 pounds; the wool production 22,000,000 pounds; honey 8,500,000 pounds. In forty-nine counties minerals are found in paying quantities, and there are more than forty distinct kinds. The total mineral product for 1902 was $35,969,105. The statistics for 1903 have not been prepared. Of the total product for 1902, the gold represented $16,910,320; silver,$616,412; copper.$3,-239,975; quicksilver,$1,276,524; borax and boracic acid,$2,234,994; mineral waters,$612，477；petroleum,$4，692，189.The production of petroleum in 1903 is estimated at 23,000,000 barrels. The total lumber production in 1903 was 852，638，797 feet. The value of the fisheries of the California coast is according to President David Starr Jordan of the Leland Stanford University.$15，000，000 per annum. In 1903 there were 178 clear days in San Francisco and 148 in Los Angeles.Mean temperatures were for 1903: Red Bluff，61.5 degrees; Sacramento，59.4 degrees; Fresno，62.2 degrees; San Francisco，55.3 degrees; Los Angeles，62.2 degrees.

County Superintendent of Schools J. B. Nichols has appointed the following marshals to take the census of school children in the various precincts of the county: Alamitos, Mrs. Susan Beckett; Anaheim, James S.

The Last of the Conrad Beer Inspector Higgins was in town this week to interview the new proprietors of the Anaheim Brewery. Seven thousand gallons of the Conrad beer were ordered to be exterminated. Accordingly the valve was opened and the old Conrad beer was allowed to flow out and libitum. In three months or less the new brew will be on the market. Twenty years' experience will demonstrate the fact that Anaheim will make as good beer as Pilsener or any other beer. But this remains to be proven. Fuller's Suit. Bills of exceptions were agreed upon at Santa Ana this week whereby the suit of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and Anaheim Union Water Company against O. B. Fuller and others will be carried into the Supreme Court. Suit was commenced against Fuller by the Irrigation Company last summer to have him restrained from diverting the water of the Santa Ana River to land that was claimed to be outside the natural watershed. After hearing testimony for several weeks in the Riverside courts, a decision adverse to Fuller was rendered, and later he was cited for contempt for an alleged violation of the injunction issued against him. Today E. W. Freeman of Los Angeles, Fuller's attorney, and E. E. Keech of Santa Ana and Richard Melrose of this city, for the water company, agreed upon the details of the bill of exceptions, and the appeal to the Supreme Court will be filed at once.

BOND ELECTION The contest over a new bond issue for the Orange Union High School district has been brought to a close by the trustees voting unanimously to call an election for May 7, when the question of issuing $35,000 bonds will be submitted to the electors. In the suit brought by W. G. Wells to compel the trustees to call the election, the members of the School Board had all been summoned to appear in the Superior Court on citation tomorrow to show cause why the election should not be called, but inasmuch as they have already taken the action sought for in the suit, the case will be dismissed. Extending Time. E. S. Wallace, representing the Santa Ana Board of Trade, has this week been over the proposed route of the electric railway in Garden Grove, soliciting an extension of six months to the time for building the road. When right-of-way was first asked for at the Grove it was given out that work on the road would begin early in April, and contracts for casements contained this proviso. Now that the time is passing and no rails have been laid, a six months' extension is being asked for and generally granted. Water Goes With Land. The suit of J. Meger of Anaheim against J. P.
