Superior Judge West this week decided adversely to the claims of Mrs. Grieselda Eschelbach in her attempt to secure a share of the estate of Mrs. Francisca Rimpau, deceased.

In 1870 she married Peter Eschelbach and has not since then been in the employ of the family. She can neither read nor write. She is of Indian descent and old residents here remember her as a servant in the family. We have the finest and most complete line of plush robes ever shown in Santa Ana. Wm. F.

Mr. Wells and tests of Mr. and Mrs. and Charles Campbell, the Kelso mine were in City Expansion—Taxation EDITOR GAZETTE:—In reference to extending city limits I have been asked to explain more fully in regard to the taxation of property. That taxes would actually be less if the property had been included in the city limits than it would have been at present, was such a surprise to every one that people are slow to grasp the idea. In my former article I mentioned that there would be a difference in the school tax in territory taken from the Loara school district. However, it is learned from the county superintendent that the people included in the Loara school district can go back into this district or they may remain with the city schools if the territory be annexed. In reply to an inquiry, the county superintendent writes as follows: DEAR SIR:—A part of a school district included in territory annexed to a city becomes a part of the city district, but may by legal process be set off as a part of the former district. A part of Placentia district is included in the city of Fullerton. Yours respt., W. R. CARPENTER. It will be seen from this that the school question can be entirely eliminated, so that neither schools nor school taxes need be discussed. Now to the tax problem. My own property was last year assessed at $1025, and the rate is $1.70, county and state, making the tax $17.43. In addition I have to pay $2 road-poll tax, which the city does not require, making a total of $19.43. If the property were taken into the city the rates would have been $1.30, county and state; 35c general, and 7c library, making $1.72 total rate inside the city. This would bring the total tax to $17.63, or $1.80 less taxes if my property were in the city. I hope this is plain enough so that every property holder can figure out how heavy rainfall during the week have been the seasonal precipitation that inches, as against 5.65 to date last. Not in many years has such heavy rainfall as during the past six months falling as during the past six days on Friday night rain fell in showers almost uninterrupted daylight. At 7 Saturday Mr. Laine gauge measured 1.11 inches of storm, Showers on Saturday added to the total. On Sunday night fell, and on Monday from 7 noon, 1.10 descended. The last deluge caused a mile flood to run down city streets, and walks were for the most part impaired. Some were fordable and business entirely suspended. People heard the postoffice between 10 and 11 had to turn back, as water ran off crossings to a depth of six inches gutters ran like millraces thoroughfares were covered with of running water. The downpour brought the town up to 3.33 inches. At noon on Monday reports that the Santa Fe track bends this city and Fullerton was submerged at the bend north of town and water was running over the bridge. The river and sandwash were but no overflow occurred and no resulted. At Fullerton water ran over places south of town inundated lumber yard and running under houses. Walnut orchard flooded. Seven inches of rain fell during past two weeks. No such precipitation has been recorded since the wavy 1899-90, when 15.56 inches fell first of January, and 19.56 for making the tax $17.43. In addition I have to pay $2 road-poll tax, which the city does not require, making a total of $19.43. If the property were taken into the city the rates would have been $1.30, county and state; 35c general, and 7c library, making $1.72 total rate inside the city. This would bring the total tax to $17.63, or $1.80 less taxes if my property were in the city. I hope this is plain enough so that every property holder can figure out just how much less his taxes would have been if he were in the city. Prof. Walker of the high school owns 20 acres out in the cactus (ground around his is selling for $200 per acre) and he is enthusiastic to have the city extended to include his property, because he knows that the value of this property would be enhanced. Mr. Tim Carroll, with all his interests, favors the extension and is willing to come in and to aid in pushing the good work along. The only objections so far raised has been increased taxation and the school problem. With the school question entirely eliminated and the truth of the tax situation plainly told, there should not be one vote against the proposition. There are to be no lambs to slaughter, but just a good, simple business proposition. Let everybody push it along. A. A. MILLS. J. T. Shea announces that he will open his new steam laundry for business on January 26th, and that mean-time no laundry work will be done at the old laundry. He has just recovered from an attack of typhoid, and now a little daughter, 14 months old, is afflicted with the malady.
