Mr. Crowther Returns. William Crowther and his two daughters, Misses Sadie and Ruby Crowther, returned on Tuesday from a six-month's tour of Europe. Mr. Crowther visited the walnut district of Grenoble, Bordeaux, Berne, Naples and other points on the continent, and found that the crop was from 35 to 40 per cent short. At the former place, in August, a severe hail storm knocked 25 per cent of the nuts off the trees. He was caught in the storm, the hail piercing his new silk umbrella as if it were paper. It was the most severe storm of the kind he had ever seen. Hail fell as large as the end of one's thumb. A few days after another hail storm subjected the trees to further injury. In the Rhine district he saw pear and other fruits damaged to such an extent by storms that half the crop lay upon the ground. While crossing the English channel, he met a walnut buyer who said he had just spent a month in the French orchards. "The crop at Grenoble and other walnut growing centers will be half the normal yield," the man said. "Half the New York orders for French nuts it will be impossible to fill. I also heard the California crop is short." Mr. Crowther handed the broker his card, then placed his thumbs in his vest armholes, and informed him he was California walnut grower and 30,000 are now delinquent and that at least 20,000 of these defunct. A notice of the tax to each of the 43,000 corporate mail, and over 20,000 of the came back to the secretary having been "undelivered" by tal authorities. When the notice is up the secretary of cancel the charters of these companies and that will be them. In commenting on this contemporary says: "One object of the new law was to congested state of the record of the secretary of state, which have been burdened for many thousands of these c They have been dead so long them, that they have been even by the postal clerk in 't pal place of business." THE ORANGE SEA Shipments of new crop organ yesterday. On all s thought the season will exceeders in quantity of fruit shipped as superiority of the oranges. The total shipments last Saturday were 29,845 cart which 4,250 were lemons, 24,595 carloads of oranges, fern California alone. The amount of money involved While crossing the English channel, he met a walnut buyer who said he had just spent a month in the French orchards. "The crop at Grenoble and other walnut growing centers will be half the normal yield," the man said. "Half the New York orders for French nuts it will be impossible to fill. I also heard the California crop is short." Mr. Crowther handed the broker his card, then placed his thumbs in his vest armholes, and informed him he was a California walnut grower, and added that the information about the shortage of the home crop was correct. The French and Italian nut trees were a month late, like the California trees. The foreign crop is a month late. The party visited in Paris, Berlin, London and other cities and report a most enjoyable trip. Eddie Crowther remains in France for a year to pursue his studies upon the violin with one of the foremost violinists of that country. Conductor of Farmers' Institutes J. B. Neff of this city has been appointed conductor of farmers' institutes for Southern California. The appointment comes as an unsolicited honor, and is bestowed upon a gentleman in every way competent to discharge the duties of the office. The selection was made by the University of California, and announcement of the choice was made in a letter received on Tuesday from Prof. F. J. Wickson, who is at the head of the college of agriculture at Berkeley. Twenty-five farmers' institutes will be held in Southern California the coming season, beginning in December and ending July 1st. Applications from places desirous of having sessions held in their communities should be made to Mr. Neff. More attention will be given by the university to the meetings the coming year than ever before. Each session will be attended by several agricultural experts from Berkeley, and the educational feature of the institute will be more in evidence than in the past. Each county of Southern California is expected to co-operate in the work of holding these institutes. There will be no expense attached to them, except for hall rent and other matters of an exclusively local nature. Shipments of new crop organ yesterday. On all shipment thought the season will exceeders in quantity of fruit shipped as superiority of the oranges. The total shipments last Saturday were 29,845 cartons which 4,250 were lemons, 24,595 carloads of oranges, fern California alone. The amount of money involved was 756,000, the principal items to the sum total being as follows: railroads, $9,750,000; rear lines, $105,000; growers pers., $13,200,000. The prices were better than past two seasons previous, what under those realized four years ago. This season's yield for nai expected, will be in excess year's, and with the widest which has been secured for and their increasing popularity east, much better returns for. Chamber of Commerce At the meeting of the commerce on Thursday evening preliminary matters pertaining issuance of the illustrative descriptive of this city we into.

Each session will be attended by several agricultural experts from Berkeley, and the educational feature of the institute will be more in evidence than in the past. Each county of Southern California is expected to co-operate in the work of holding these institutes. There will be no expense attached to them, except for hall rent and other matters of an exclusively local nature. Corporation Tax A copy of the governor's proclamation has been received giving names of corporations which have failed to pay the corporation tax of $10 as provided by the last legislature. Among local corporations in the list are the following: Anaheim Building and Loan association (not the present building association), Anaheim Co-operative Beet Sugar Co., Anaheim Hide and Leather Co., Anaheim Improvement Co., Anaheim Lighter Co., Anaheim Beet and Land Co., Anaheim Wharfing and Transportation Co., Anaheim Water Co. (not the Anaheim Union Water Co.), Anaheim Deciduous Fruit Association. All these corporations except the last named have passed out of existence. The law provides that $5 penalty must be paid in additional to the original $10, and that if this amount is not paid sixty days after the date of the proclamation (Oct. 14th) the charters of all corporations delinquent will suffer a revocation of their charter. One interesting result of the law will be to clear from the records of the state a lot of charters of dead corporations. Of the 43,000 corporations that have been chartered by the state, over ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1879 now delinquent and it is said that 20,000 of these are really A notice of the tax was sent to the 43,000 corporations, by over 20,000 of these notices sent to the secretary of state as "undelivered" by the positions. When the sixty days' up the secretary of state will be charters of these "paper" and that will be the end of commenting on this matter, coronary says: "One of the objections new law was to relieve the state of the records of office secretary of state, which records burdened for many years that remained of the assets of thousands of these companies. He been dead so long, many of them have been forgotten the postal clerk in 'the principle of business.'" ORANGE SEASON. ments of new crop oranges bearday. On all sides it is the season will excell all oth-entity of fruit shipped as well purity of the oranges. Real shipments last season to were 29,845 carloads, of 50 were lemons, a total of loads of oranges, from South-california alone. The total of money involved was $23,- Edison People Here A. L. Selig of Los Angeles, general manager of the Edison electric company, and A. F. Gressler of Santa Ana, resident agent of the same corporation, were in town a day or two ago. They are shrewd and experienced men of affairs, and as might be expected under the circumstances are opposed tooth and nail to municipal ownership of electric lights and gas. "Our company is taking no interest in your bond election," said Mr. Selig, "And the result of the election does not interest us a particle. Of course we are in the lighting and power business, and if we can do business with your people, well and good; but to say that we are interfering with your election is a mistake. We have not done so, nor do we intend so to do. Neither have we a contract for lighting the streets of Los Angeles for $150,000 per year, as I have seen printed in the papers, nor for any other amount. Mr. Selig said he favored municipal ownership of water, and when asked to state his reasons for this apparent paradox replied: "I believe in municipal water because water runs down hill, while gas and electric light do not. I mean by that, that you do not have to employ high-priced experts and engineers and go to the many other expenses for water works, while these are necessary in light and power companies.

An inspector Mr. Sellig said he favored municipal ownership of water, and when asked to state his reasons for this apparent paradox replied: "I believe in municipal water because water runs down hill, while gas and electric light do not. I mean by that, that you do not have to employ high-priced experts and engineers and go to the many other expenses for water works, while these are necessary in light and power companies. You run a water line down your principal street, and every one wants a connection with it; with gas and electric power it is different. You get a pump, erect a tank and lay a system of distributing pipes, and your water plant is fixed for business. Our experience with dynamos and other electrical machinery is that they outlive their usefulness in ten years. This machinery must and will be removed every ten years. "Municipal ownership is all very well on paper," continued Mr. Selig, "But there are expenses constantly appearing which you cannot guard against and cannot foresee. The Edison company employs the best electrical engineers in the country—that, I believe, will be conceded. Yet in Los Angeles some time ago as quick as that (snapping his fingers) something went wrong and we lost $7000. We tried to guard against these short circuits, yet here was something the devil himself couldn't have stopped. How would municipal ownership stand such a test as that? "At Santa Ana some days ago we had a judgment of $4000 found against us by the death of an employee. How would an occasional thing of this sort strike your municipal plant?" Mr. Selig said his company had notified the city of Colton two years ago of its intention to raise lighting and power rates in that city twenty percent (not 50 per cent, as stated in the press). The city was thus afforded an opportunity of installing a municipal electric lighting plant, and refused to do so. The gentlemen take issue with Engineer Copeland as to the price of gas plants, and, as already stated, are opposed to municipal ownership of everything except water. BUENA PARK washed out on the Colorado progress was retarded and here. He intends to return that country in a few months.

Allen, who some months ago purchased the McDonald ranch of 700 acres for $30,000, has disposed of the place, receiving a sum considerably in advance of the purchase price. The property is valuable, as is all real estate in that section since the advent of the electric railway. A. L. Bennett is circulating a petition for signatures, the object of which is to lend assistance to the Pacific electric company in securing rights of way through here for an electric line as previously mentioned. The petition is being signed by the citizens generally who are taking an active interest in the matter. The Park people have associated themselves with the chambers of commerce of Anaheim and Fullerton and with united effort it is confidently expected that these places will be joined to the Huntington lines.

An inspector will be here Baseball Oscar Chavez, manager of a ball team from Los Angeles, known as the Dyas-Cline, brought down a bunch of horsehide artists on Sunday afternoon and pitted them against the Oil Wells. They were easy. While the score was 7 to 5 in the latter's favor, it's a safe wager that Chavez's colts could have been held down to two, possibly three. The game was tearfully one-sided until the last inning. The Oil Wells permitted the visiting lads to score once in the first, sixth and seventh, and the two runs they made in the ninth, in seemed, were allowed for charity sake, as the local boys had them outclassed all the way round. Leach tried his best to retire the oils but they hit him at will. Two men got home the first inning, and the third swelled the score to sixth. Two men adorned the sacks for the Olindas this inning when Crips drove the ball for a bee-line grounder passed second, the ball never stopping until it reached the furthermost outer line, with Lenya in hot pursuit. The strike proved to be the best homer of the season. One of the snappiest doubles on record occurred in the sixth. For the visitors the first and second sacks each had a tenant, when Leach knocked a peacherino three-bagger to deep left. Burnett gave the ball a hundred-yard wing for home, but the sun blinded La Brandt and the first runner scored on the passed ball.

Damron, who some months ago visited to Tulare, has purchased a herd here and will ship the stock branch by Southern Pacific route today. An inspector will be here at time to inspect the stock before departure. Wheeler Wants Morals Taught MIFIC GROVE, Oct. 28.—Quite a man in the teachers' institute was by President Wheeler of the University of California. For a session chiefly devoted to study of arithmetic, Dr. Wheeler freed and derided the whole grammar curriculum, especially searing arithmetic for reprobation. In words he expressed his views on the things taught in the grammar he should be religion, in its Arden sense of conduct, not creed; in manners, manual training, aggrandise, music and Latin and some language at the age of 9 to 14. No anathemized the teaching of this now obtaining in the high schools. Possibilities of dredging New Bay and making there a deep harbor, were the subjects of a Newport Beach Tuesday by including Senator Flint, Conan McLachlan, a group of Pacific officials and a number of men, among them F. P. Nickey, agent of the Chamber of Commerce; George A. Edgar, chairman of city trustees; Col. S. H. Finley, surveyor; Prof. J. P. Greeley, assistant of the Whittier state senator; John N. Anderson, state senator Cubbon, D. H. Thomas, F. Garding, Robert McFadden, Chris Hill and George Preble. The visions taken for a trip several over the still water bay in the launches, visiting among other the old landing and the mouth bay near Rocky Point. Dinner served at Hotel Newport. Survived at the bay were made several days ago by the United States enthe furthermost outer line, with Lenya in hot pursuit. The strike proved to be the best homer of the season. One of the snappiest doubles on record occurred in the sixth. For the visitors the first and second sacks each had a tenant, when Leach knocked a peacherino three-bagger to deep left. Burnett gave the ball a hundred-yard wing for home, but the sun blinded La Brandt and the first runner scored on the passed ball. The two other runners were a-coming. Crips covered the home plate when Merill recovered the ball and threw it to him in time to check the runner. He was seesawed and finally caught by Mott, who with cat-like rapidity threw the ball to second putting out the man who vainly tried to get back after pirouetteing between that sack and third. The game otherwise was tame. The Olindas scored in the seventh, blanked the eighth and did not play the ninth.

Mott of the Oil Wells team has arranged for a practice next Sunday morning at 10. La Brandt's backstop work and base throwing was the best ever. "Kid" Solomon, the lightweight with the cruel left, worked out in the right garden. The Kid gave chase to several high balls, caught one, and his batting average was held at its normal standard. Pete Mangerina umpired well, gave his decisions in a clear voice, and statement of the Whittier state; John N. Anderson, state senator, John Cubbon, D. H. Thomas, F. Barding, Robert McFadden, Chris Mill and George Preble.

La Brandt’s backstop work and base throwing was the best ever. “Kid” Solomon, the lightweight with the cruel left, worked out in the right garden. The Kid gave chase to several high balls, caught one, and his batting average was held at its normal standard. Pete Mangerina umpired well, gave his decisions in a clear voice, and never changed them, even though he had “words” with his “big” brother. Everyone wondered why Jack Burnett played so far over to center. But Jack is wise and is always there with the big stick with good results. Manager Young’s confidential advisers, Tom Saine and “Grimmie,” were at the ticket window. Crips pitched and had the foreigners guessing all the time. “Bookie” performed nicely in center and did well at the bat. Johnson and Lewis held down first and second in good shape. Mott played a faultless game at third. He is a tower of strength to the team. Elwell played short in a snappy manner and made good with the bleachers. A large crowd was in attendance and Manager Young says the collection was pretty good but ought to have been better, in view of the quality of ball served. The Oil Wells team is one of the best, and all the boys are nice, gentlemanly young fellows. The team is deserving of liberal support. The game on Sunday ought to be an interesting one, because the Hamburgers have one against the Oils and the latter will try to even up matters.
