MIXED RESULTS AT BOND ELECTION Water and Elected Light Extensions Approved, Gas Plant Lost—Close Voting Two hundred and seventy-eight votes were cast at the bond election on Saturday, when it was sought to issue securities in the amount of $69,000 for various city improvements. Quite a lot of opposition manifested itself to the bonds, especially the proposition for a municipal gas plant, which was beaten, 129 to 129. The proposed extensions and improvements to the city water works and electric lighting plant were approved by safe majorities, but the proposition for crosswalks and oiling of streets "lost out" by a close margin, the latter by a single vote. The result upon each of the five propositions was as follows: (1.) For an issue of $23,000 for the improvement of, and making additions to, the city water works—Yes 202, noes 67. Carried. (2.) For an issue of $23,000 for the improvement of, and making additions to, the city electric lighting plant—ment policy held to the opinion mistake was made in calling the same week as the tion, which overshadowed really a more important election two. They hold that had they taken during the coming month later, all the propositions have carried, save possibly the ing to gas. Little work was done in securing the bonds, and the water and light securities may be said won out on their merits. Stockholders in the gas made a winning fight against pal plant, and voters generally proved their argument since trustees had but recently grown company a franchise for the of its plant; it was like take from the baby to vote in a plant, which would have uniably wrought previous financial those interested in the pres prise. The city trustees will proceedially to sell the bonds, and sidentally believed they will premium. Local capitalists are of forming a syndicate to buy.

Co. sought to acquire the riparian water rights of the River-side Power company, has fallen through. The two companies found a partner in the Pacific Light & Power company, which agreed to take the canal and power plant for $100,000, leaving said companies the 2000 acres of riparian land with all the water rights not needed for power for $50,000. After several weeks' negotiations the companies secured an option of thirty days from the Southern California Savings bank to examine the title. This examination disclosed the fact that all the water rights belonging to the 2000 acres, except such as were needed for power, had been reserved to Stearns Rancho company. Under such conditions the water companies did not care to go on with the purchase and declared the deal off. Word comes from River-side that Pacific Light & Power company had bought the entire property under consideration from the savings bank. Resolved, That we wish our homes so far as possible papers and magazines will such advertisements; that ever, in a spirit of frankness ask publishers and cease to include in these objectionable advertisements over, we will remonstrate advertisements and plead posted in public places, be to demoralizing, and that it is the duty of town pal authorities to prevent plays on bill boards or in places. That a vote of thanks be the singers; also to Mrs. C president, and to Miss their presence and help Anaheim union for their vitality, and to any and have helped to make such a marked success.

Twenty saloons here and all doing a roaring business. Wide open Sundays and all. There used to be three dance halls and now two. And as for closing them up, oh, no. That would hurt the business and the force of lumber Jacks, as they are called, would have no place to amuse themselves when they come down from camp. The good people of Anaheim would have fits if they could only see how these northern lumber towns are run. We have fine and good people here as well. But the whole system of running it is rotten. This city is growing and times are good. There is lots of work if one wants to work, and railroads are being built all around here. We now have one of the largest mills in the state of Washington located here—the Firm National Lumber and Folding Box company—and one of the finest plants I have ever seen.

The passenger train continued on its way to Northam, where it stopped. The train was crowded with members of the Woodmen returning from Los Angeles.
