Stevenson and Hartman gave declarations, and afterwards the members proceeded to debate, the subject being "That Railroads Should Be Owned and Managed by the State." Mr. Theodore Lynill opened the debate in the affirmative, Mr. Victor Montgomery replying. Several other members having spoken, the question was referred to the committee, who declared in favor of the negative. It is to be hoped that the members will attend in greater number at the next meeting, on the twenty-eighth instant, when the subject for discussion will be, "Does Aaron Burr Merit the Opprobrium He Receives?"

McFadden. A very valuable cow belonging to Robert W. Scott, Esq., broke her neck yesterday. She became entangled in the rope with which she was tied, and her efforts to extract herself proved fatal. The cow was worth something over one hundred dollars. Messrs. F. and J. Backs have commenced the erection of a brick building on the corner of First North and Los Angeles streets. They intend to build a two-story edifice, 26x72 feet, with iron front, and propose to set it far enough back to widen A very valuable cow belonging to Robert W. Scott, Esq., broke her neck yesterday. She became entangled in the rope with which she was tied, and her efforts to extract herself proved fatal. The cow was worth something over one hundred dollars. Messrs. F. and J. Backs have commenced the erection of a brick building on the corner of First North and Los Angeles streets. They intend to build a two-story edifice, 26x72 feet, with iron front, and propose to set it far enough back to widen Los Angeles street about ten feet. If the same plan is adopted by all the property owners, a great improvement will be made. (This building still stands and is occupied by Riutcel-Wethered Furniture Company. First North street is now Chartres.—Ed.) Among the passengers by steamer from San Francisco we notice the names of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey. Congratulations are now in order, and the new house is not to let. On Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Featherstone will preach in the Presbyterian church at 7:30 o'clock, subject: "Missions of Beauty," a discourse especially addressed to the young. If the sneak thief who dug up and carried off 10 choice and valuable rose bushes from Mr. J. N. Guinn's front yard last Sunday night will send his address to that gentleman, he can have the names of those roses and some other information that may be of value to him. Rain fell quite heavily yesterday morning and continued for some hours. It did considerable damage to the hay crop, but there is still plenty and to spare. Track laying on the Southern Pacific railroad, it is expected, will be finished to Fort Yuma by Saturday next. Work between the present terminus, Pilot Knob, and the fort is delayed on account of the heavy filling. Messrs.

Services at the grave.(The present editor of The Gazette was the guilty party, but he still lives.—Ed.) The ice cream enterprise for the benefit of the Presbyterian Sunday School on Thursday was a success. All the ice cream was sold and some profit was realized. A meeting of the Anaheim fire company was held Thursday evening at Conrad's hall.

The local boys and their positions were: Murray Mills, pitcher; Willie Fischer, catcher; Dwight Stone, center field; C. Crane, third base; Fayette Lewis, second base; Edgar Hartung, first base; R. Norman, right field; Teddy Dickel, left field. John Hartung went along to see the boys perform. He says the fishermen were not in it. When the Long Beach crowd saw their home club had a bad beat coming, some one kept flashing a mirror in Fisher's eyes behind the bat. Our boys didn't think anything of that sort of harsh treatment, however, and say, they had a happy time. The Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges have made a proposition to Mrs. N. H. Mitchell in response to her offer to put up a brick building on her lot on the corner of center and Los Angeles streets. She has it under consideration, and an early decision will probably be arrived at.

William Schwenckert came down from Los Angeles on Friday. He reports the real estate business lively, and more property changing hands and at higher figures than ever before in the history of Southern California. In fact, he says we are having a boom—have had for some time back and didn't know it. J. C. Sheppard of Fullerton has been awarded a contract for the building of a dam of cement for the San Joaquin Gun Club. It will cost about $3500, and is to be constructed as soon as materials and men can be put upon the scene of operation.

Supervisor Potter and Roadmaster Norman began yesterday oiling the county road west of town at Ben Snodgrass' corner and running west two miles. The city will co-operate with the county in oiling the continuation of the road into town as far as West Center street. Mr. Potter says travel will not be interfered with. Only half the thoroughfare will be oiled at a time, the other side being reserved for travel. In 24 hours the oiled surface is ready for use.

Minter for Santa Ana shows the total number of children in that city between the ages of 5 and 17 to be 1331, or 101 less than the number in last year's census, which was 1432. This decrease has decided the board to order the census retaken. Railroad Official Sees Great Empire A great expansion of manufacturing industries in California along the coast where abundant raw material is available, together with cheap hydroelectric power and fuel, is the view expressed by F. B. Houghton, freight traffic manager of the Santa Fe railway, Chicago, who now is in the state on his tour of inspection. "You not only have a dependable empire within the boundary of California, producing almost every article needed to supply the wants of man, but large manufacturing branches are being established with the result that the bulk of the furniture, auto tires, plumbing supplies, fabricated iron and steel and hundreds of other products are turned out which have a ready home as well as a foreign market," said the traffic official. Mr. Houghton said the agricultural outlook through Santa Fe states is bright, and the company expects to transport a heavy tonnage of California fruits and other products this season, while the passenger business is on the increase.
