Santa Ana Notes.

E7A santa Ana SthndafuI
Mr.. ii. ii. Roper Is still sowing wheat
and expects to have about fifty acres In
that cereal this season.
We understand that quite party oil
intending settlers win leave Galesburg,
Indiana, for Santa Ana valley some time
about the last Of February or first OF
March.
The Anaheim Gazette is authority for
the statement that negotiations are now
pending for the resumption Of the
banking business in Santa Ana by Mr..
Seibert.
Messrs. Smith and Caudelle have
flooded % acres OF land between the
depot and the town, which they are
sowing to barley. They intend to raise
crop, rain or no rain.
Mr.. J. II, Melletto is putting very
mere cottage on the Blee tract for n resi-
dence. Mr.. Mellette will move to our
city soon and will be welcomed rs an ad.
dition OF no small weight to the society
OF Santa Ana.
The Commercial Bank building Is
having put down an artificial stone side
walk along its entire frontage on both
Main and Fourth streets. Mr. Flood,
the agent for this valuable invention, Is
doing his work well.
On the old Kcnton place, three miles
from Santa Ana, some parties digging 0
well came upon curiously shaped old
iron cooking utensil. 1t looked like a
Dutch porringer and was well preserved
How 1t got where it was is mystery.
Never in the history Of the Santa Ana
Valley Irrigation Company has there
been as much water used during the
winter months as at present. There has
been no waste water in the Santiago be-
low the fume this season, except a few
days during the wind.
Mr.. L. Gildmacher informs us that he
docs not propose that his end Of the
town shall suffer for water, With q
good Windmill and well, he has fine
supply of pure water, with which ht
supplies his extensive establishment and
several of his neighbors. As the pipes
run over the top of his building and the
force is sufficient to throw the water Q
considerable distance, it is not probable
that Charlottesville and Haywardvillt
will burn up at present.

ANA depot during the week ending Jan

We are informed by Mr.. James Ira
vers, Zanjero of the S. A. V. ]. Co.
that twenty. eight heads of water ar,
still running in the bitches OF that com
pany, and that it is all being used. II
Is Mr.. Travers' opinion that the water
supply will be good until July or August
next, even If the present season should
prove to be dry. His opinion is certain.
ly entitled to considerable weight ON the
water question. us he has had sever al
years experience Us Zanjero.
Just as we are going to press, letter
from DIR. Head has been handed to us,
giving the status OF the division bill uI
to date Of writing. The committee
meet to take final action on Monday
next. Anaheim, represented by Lynill
is making bitter fight. Banker He'll
man, of Los Angeles, is vigorously pro
testing against the bill, asserting that he
is one OF the largest taxpayers in the
proposed new county. The Doctor con.
cludes by requesting all taxpayers to
send on their petitions in favor of the
bill.
We lately encountered Mr.. George
Irvine, of the San joaquin ranch, and
inquired OF him how the sheep were
faring during the continued dry weather
The gentleman informs us that so far a.
their bands are concerned, the animal,
are doing much better than at this tim,
last year. Mr.. Irvine has lately refused
an offer Of 81, so per head. As there M,
fewer sheep in the county than ther,
have been for many years, it will requir,
very severe drouth to oblige the shecl
men to remove to other localities.
