S. Hazeltine, superintendent of the California vegetable union furnishes us the following information: The celery situation this season shows three thousand acres planted in the peatlands and the plants in excellent condition. Transplanting began early in July, about two weeks later than in preceding seasons.

It is one of the most ancient land marks in the county, and fifty years ago it was the rendezvous for all the gallant caballeros of Los Angeles. Unbounded hospitality was a distinguishing trait of its owner, and as the household comprised among its members several characteristically handsome, black-eyed daughters of the soil, the spacious house teemed with visitors from one year’s end to the other, and mirth and music rang out unceasingly. Time brought its vicissitudes and changes, and by slow degrees the house fell into ruins, was deserted and now stands a lonely and melancoly wreck, with nothing about it to call up a suggestion of its former grandeur. During the period of its degeneracy, it became notorious as the harbor of horsethieves, and the haven of ruffians of every degree, and there are extant many stories regarding the wild orgies enacted within its walls during this period. It has long been a belief among the native population that somewhere about the house or in its vicinity large sums of gold were cached, hidden by the robbers of early days. Little credence has been given to this legend, as a favorite fiction among the older natives is that untold amounts of gold are buried in various parts of this and adjoining counties. Years ago, excavations were made about the Coyote house, but if the diggers were successful, they concealed the fact. The matter is brought to mind again by the arrival, a week or two ago, of some Mexicans from San Diego county, who dug away the walls under some of the windows of the house, and excavated in various parts of the ground in search of hidden treasure. They gave no intimation as to whether their search had been successful, but quietly departed after making a systematic search. Who knows but what there may yet be hidden away in that old pile whole kegs of doubloons and things? The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. The committee on public improvements reported that the water main had been extended to the residence of Theo Dixon. Constitutional History Is Told Volume Traces Lame Ducks, Prohibition, Repeal, Monroe Doctrine as Document Dr. Erik McKinley Eriksson, professor of history, University of Southern California, is author of a new book, "American Constitutional History" just off the press of W. W. Norton and company New York. David N. Rowe of the research staff of the University of Chicago collaborated with Prof. Eriksson in writing the volume of 527 pages. This is a new text in American constitutional history showing how the constitution was put into effect and how it has been expanded by legislation, judicial interpretations, executive action, and custom to the document it is at present. "We have tried to give the reader and student of history a survey of the main constitutional developments," states Dr. Eriksson. "The volume includes sections on the so-called lame duck amendment, the proposed prohibition repeal amendment, and the development of presidential leadership under President Franklin D. Roosevelt; "There is nothing, for instance," states Prof. Eriksson, "in the original constitution about the president's cabinet, or political parties, or the committee system in congress, or the Monroe doctrine. These significant and important phases of our national life have developed outside of the original document, and have become an established and recognized part of American government." Nineteen chapters set forth the chief constitutional developments in relation to their historical background, trace the American constitutional system from its English origins, through various periods and eras to the present time. $290,000 Damage Suit Dismissed Upon petition of Elsie Potvin, The matter is brought to mind again by the arrival, a week or two ago, of some Mexicans from San Diego county, who dug away the walls under some of the windows of the house, and excavated in various parts of the ground in search of hidden treasure. They gave no intimation as to whether their search had been successful, but quietly departed after making a systematic search. Who knows but what there may yet be hidden away in that old pile whole kegs of doubloons and things? The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. The committee on public improvements reported that the water main had been extended to the residence of Theo Rimpau, that they had purchased gravel for the streets, that they had received the repaired fire-hydrant from H. Gade, and asked that the matter of building an engine house be laid over until the next meeting. The additional sections to the fire commissioner's ordinance were adopted, and the meeting adjourned to Wednesday the 8th instant, at which time the tax levy will be decided upon. During the temporary absence from his shop on Thursday forenoon, Mr. E. A. White had his watch stolen from the desk in which he is accustomed to keep it. The thief no doubt knew where it was kept and took the first opportunity to abstract it. The watch is a silver one, of Elgin make, M. D. Ogden movement, hunting case, and numbered 219.260. On Sunday morning, August 5th, the new German church will be dedicated. The morning services will begin at half-past ten o'clock. Rev. G. H. Bollinger of Los Angeles will preach the sermon after which the dedicatory ceremonies will take place. The evening service will begin at eight o'clock. Rev. James Campbell from Wilmington will preach in English on this occasion. Mr. Robt. Strong of Westminster reports the sale of 20 acres of land in that colony to Mrs. A. H. Wells for $15 per acre and 20 acres to Mrs. C. M. Martin at $20 per acre. There is considerable inquiry for land in the colony and the probabilities are that many sales will be made this fall. Water in the river continues very low. Only one head was flowing in the Santa Ana ditch on Wednesday. The sources of supply are this year lower than at any previous time. Even in Los Angeles the demand for water far exceeds the supply. The work of driving piles for the dam in the Santa Ana river began on Thursday. The office of R. J. Northam, agent for the Stearns Ranchos is to be handsomely fitted up, carpeted and made business like. From all of which we infer that Mr. Northam is not a whit dismayed at the decision of the U.S. commissioner.

The sailor was burned to death when a stage caught fire near Serra. The mother and administratrix of the estate asked for dismissal through her attorney, stating that settlement had been made. The complaint asked $100,000 actual and $190,000 special damages. Stolen Car Found Within 24 Hours Sam Arnold reported to Anaheim police Friday that his car was stolen Thursday night from its parking place at the rear of the Valencia hotel.

He desires to contradict the published statement that he is a participator in the telegraphers' strike.

Mr. Parker is noted as being the luckiest fisherman of the hundreds congregated at the resort. Mr. C. E. Leonard and family and Dr. Cowan and family have gone to the San Juan Capistrano beach for a three weeks' recreation trip. Madame Modjeska and party were in town on Monday.

Meek. A new porch and other improvements have been added by S. B. Smith to the house which he recently purchased. A reward of $50 is offered by B.

Thompson for some delicious blackberries grown on his fine ranch in North Anaheim. Judge Kuchel Sits In Recorder Court While Police Judge Frank Tausch was ill during the first part of the week, Justice Charles Kuchel occupied two benches. Sitting in the recorder's court Monday, Justice Kuchel sentenced Eric Eule, 42, of this city, to 25 days in jail on conviction of a drunk driving charge. Eule failed to raise the alternative, $50 in cash as a fine. Jack Wells, 113½ North Emily street, had his fine of $50 suspended for one year. The charge was intoxication. Lions Invited To Beach for a Day Anaheim’s den of roaring Lions spent Friday's luncheon-meeting discussing future programs. President Evan Alsip announced that no formal program had been prepared.
