Editor HERALD:-Items are very
scarce. People are too busy to gossip.
Harvesting is progressing finely. A
considerable quantity of grain has al
ready been shipped to San Francisco.
Farmers are anxious to get it on the
market before the price falls.
THE TRUSTEES OF THE BoLsA CHICA
WHARF COMPANY
Have made out the plans and speci-
fications for their wharf and are ready
for bids. The wharf is to be eighteen
hundred feet in length, with width
of twenty four feet, except the last
two hundred Of the pier head, which
will be eighty feet wide. Soundings
have been made, and it has been as
certained that at eighteen hundred
feet the wharf will reach twenty feet
of water at low tide. Subscription
books are open, and several active
canvassers will soon be put in the
field to sell stock. The farmers and
merchants manifest a willingness to
subscribe literally.
THE GRANGE COOPERATIVE CON-
Stands ready to commence the erec-
ton of grain warehouse as soon as
the wharf is under way. A number
of new buildings will be erected in
Anahein. this Summer. Mr.. Kroeger
is making arrangements to build a
large brick block on Center street.
The lower story will be let for store
rooms, the upper used for a hall. Mr..
Langenberger designs erecting brick
block on the corner of Center and Lem
on streets, into which, when complet-
ed, he will remove his grocery and
ing houses will be built this season.
HOUSES TO RENT ARE IN ACTIVE
DEMAND.
There is not q vacant house in town.
If some man who has the means to
spare, would erect number of neat
cottage houses for rent, he would find
it a paying Investment.
Captain Northern, of the Los Ange-
les and San Bernardino Land Com
pany, has been down here the past
week looking after ditch matters.
From what | can ascertain it is the
intention of his company to construct
an ifrigating ditch, or, rather, canal,
upon the line of survey made by
Capt. Knox last fall. The canal is to
be twenty-five feet wide, with a depth
of three feet. 1t will afford several
fine mill sites, which will no doubt
be used before long.
The Company design taking one
branch of the ditch int the La Habra
Valley. If this is done-and there are
no serious obstacles to tit will bring
into market some of the most de-
sirable lands in Southern California.
The La Habra is beautiful little val
ley, containing about thirty thousand
acres of nearly level land, situated
seven miles north of Anaheim. IT is
entirely encircled by a low, range OF
hills, which protect it from high winds
and from the heavy fogs of the coast
There is no more desirable locality fol-
the growing of oranges and all kinds
of fruit in the State.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF ANAHEIM
Closed last week, with three days ex-
aminations. The juvenile Anaheim-
ers did credit to themselves, their
teachers and their parents. They
stood interviewing remarkably we'll
Orangethorpe school district, district
recently formed from part of Anaheim
is building avery neat and tasty school
house. 1t will cost when finished
about fifteen hundred dollars.
Yours truly, MoLINERO.
