Affairs.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 1S.-A meeting was
held in this city last night by those who
are interested in the New River country,
in San Diego county. The meeting was
called for the purpose of raising fund
with which to dig an artesian we'll, as
many believe that artesian water can be
secured in that country; and il this be
the case, no better land can be found in
the world. About $500 have already
been secured, and the prime movers in
the matter believe that there will be no
difficulty in securing sufficient sum of
money to make the experiment. There
are many of Orange county's best busi-
ness men back of the work, and from
the present outlook a fund sufficient for
the work will soou be raised. The soil
OF the New River country is said to be
extremely productive, and If artesian
flows may be secured, will become q
most productive region.
ACTION NEEDED.
There seems now to be very little
doubt that there are several horses in
this county afflicted with the glanders.
and our board of supervisors should
take action in the matter at once. The
horse interests Of Orange county are too
extensive to allow this disease to go
on unchecked, and the board should
appoint veterinary surgeon, giving
him the power to oraer horses suffering
with this disease to be killed.
TELEPHONE TO ARCH BEACH.
@. D. Ambrose OF Arch Beach was in
Santa Ana today and in conversation
with HERALD representative said that
telephone line was to be built from
Arch and Laguna Beach to Ell Toro and
from there to Santa Ana in the spring.
The southwestern part of the county
will be greatly benefited by this inn
provement. Mr.. Ambrose reports
ducks as being plentiful around Laguna
and abalones are being caught in large
quantities.
A cANNERY.
1t seems more than likely that Santa
Ana is to have, at last, much needed
establishment-a fruit cannery. w. w.
Daymond and G. NJ. Hunt, both
moneyed men of Kansas City, have
been in town for several days past look
ing into the matter, and have about de.
cided to open such an establishment. A
two-story brick building 30x60 feet will
be erected and the capacity will be
10000 cans per day. The establishment
will also manufacture fruit cans, and
will probably give employment during
the fruit season to several hundred
hands. A fruit packing house has long
been one of the needs of this city, and
it's establishment will add much to our
present and future prosperity. Tho area
planted to deciduoue fruits is rapidly in
creasing, and with fruit cannery and
two large drying houses Santa Ana will
become one of the importanJ fruit ship
ping centers of the state.
