NOTES FROM ANAHEIM.


Progress Making I'm Many Ways.
The Mother Colony has not been so
lively for long time as it was last
week, and as it continues at this writ
ing. The number of visitors arriving
here daily is very large, and some OF
those coming in come to stay. In all
parts of the town new cottages are
seen in all stages OF construction, and
in the country around the same spirit
of progress is seen working to good
results.
Tho Hotel Del Campo is aim ost
completed and we are all looking for
ward with great exp ectations to the
day OF its opening and the big hous e
warming to be given on that occasion.
The new hostelry WI be available
none too soon, for the Planters is full
to overfowing. Mr.. and Mrs. Mason
keep this house in excellent style,
and the guests all hope they may
manage the Del Campo, too, when
it is finished. Mrs. Mason has been
up at Pomona for several days taking
a needed rest.
Mr.. Reiser's new brick block shows
up finely on Center street, east of Los
Angeles street. 1t will be a very i'm
posing block when finished. How
much better it would be for Anaheim
if all her citizens had the same conf
dence in her that Mr.. Reiser has.
Then they would put their money
into permanent improvements in their
own town, rather than lend to rivals
to build up antagonistic interests.
And what town in Los Angeles county
has brighter future before
her than Old Anaheim? The town
lies in the center Of a matchless
stretch of territory extending to the
ocean twenty miles away. Anaheim
has already one railroad. She will
soon have second, for a big gang of
Santa Fe graders are making things
fly below town, where they are max
ing the road towards the crossing Of
the Santa Ana river, north of Orange.
There are not mere than six or eight
miles of easy work to do. A large
part of this is in the river bed, which
is to be ''shoo-fied" as a tenn
porary expedient while a substantial
bridge is built. Another camp
is pitched at point on the Los Coyotes
Rancho, about midway between
Santa Fe Springs and Buena Park.
There is a gap of five or six miles to
grade there The country is as level
as billiard-table, and the road-bed
will be ready for the ties in a few
days.
FULLERTON.
This new town is growing apace.
Mr.. Haas, of the firm of architects
in Los Angeles, was here last Satur-
day and let a contract Tor the erection
of o brick block to cost $2l 900. MIR.
Chadburne, the furniture man OF San
Francisco, is the protector, and all
the rooms in the rear block are already
let TO good tenants. The hotel will
be opened soon.
The Wilshires have purchased 320
acres OF land northeast of Fullerton,
which is to be laid out as an addition.
This embraces the Collier, fithian and
Dreyfus ranches. The price paid is
about $400 an acre.
The Messrs. Knapp & Ryan, late
of San Mateo, who bought Mr.. Holl-
mans fine ranch west of Anaheim for
$500 per acre, are greatly pleased with
their purchase. South of there at
Centralia, the home of the Sandell's,
fine new school is being built at a
cost of SO 900. All that section Of
country is filling up with good class
OF settlers, and in all directions from
Anaheiml good inquiry for small
farms SLOWS that the merits of this
section are becoming known.
srs CARLTON.
Here is one of the new towns where
growth is marvellous. The whole hill
side is being covered with houses,
and many fine blocks are going up.
A brick hotel and all sorts of enter
prises are projected. Already nearly
all the line OF the new railroad has
been graded, and they are laying iron
on it. The Carlton people say they
will have it trunning in short time be-
tween Anaheim and Alindo Rancho.
The intention is to prolong the
line to the Chino ranch on the north
side of the hills to connect with Rich
ard Gird's road to Ontario, and on
the other side to push it through Gar
den Grove to the sea at Alamitos bay.
With these systems of railroads CEN
tering here, Anaheim must grow.
Just now carloads of fine oranges
are going out from here every day. A
lock of cars prevents more OF them
from being shipped, and the demand
for the fruit is sharp at good prices.
Los Angeles people wander down
here a good deal to see old friends.
Mr.. Louis Raider was here last Satur-
day night. Mr.. r. Vereh was here
also; /; he was said to be looking for a
good bargain in real estate.
A proposition is on foot to have Ana
helm take booth in the next Flower
Festival at Los Angeles. Mr.. F. A..
Schawnberger is, as usual, the NOV
ing spirit in it, and he will succeed
He always does. 1.-The does, Anaheim
will take all the prizes offered, for the
town is full OF flowers.
