SANTA ANA.

The Santa Ana River to Be Oorrallsd.
Miscellaneous Matters.
SANTA ANA, July 14.-The board OF su-
pervisors and the residents OF Orange
county are alive to the necessity OF at
once taking steps looking to the taking
care OF the waters OF the Santa Ana
river. The HERALD has, at various
times, shown the great necessity Of work
in this line, and Yesterday q representa-
tive OF this paper visited Newport, the
district most affected.
One would hardly realize to travel
through the district now, that last
winter the entire country was covered
with water so productive is the soil,
and such q prosperous condition does
the section now present. 1t could be
made much more go If the river 10 kept
from overf1owing. and there are many
other parts of the county that are dam
aged by the same stream.
1t is believed that the expenditure OF
$40, 1000 will keep the water in its chan
nels, and free the county from all dan
ger OF overfows. There is no doubt but
that half that sum can be raised by sub
scription, and the board of supervisors
will appropriate the remainder OF the
money needed.
Work will be commenced as soon as
the funds are raised, and from the pres
ent outlook q few weeks will see the
money all subscribed. The people re-
alize the necessity of the work, and it
is to be hoped that all will respond lib
orally.
SANTA ANA's LOSS.
Yesterday J. 8. Pitman filed with the
city clerk his resignation as member
Of the board Of city trustees. This was
due to the fact that on Tuesday next the
gentleman and his esteemed family will
remove to Los Angeles, where they will
permanently reside. Mr.. Pitman has
been one of Santa Ana's foremost citi-
zens, and is q gentleman highly re-
spected by all who know him. What is
this city's loss is Los Angeles gain.
THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
The financial panic is plainly evident
in the real estate Gales of this county,
and the figures speak palmer than long
sermon could. During the past week
but 20 deeds were recorded, the total
consideration given being $97S6. This
is the smallest number of changes of
real estate reported during the past
year, and proves that investors are look
ing out. The real estate market bids
fair to be lively the coming week, as
there are larger number of easterners
in the city than for some time past, and
many are here for the purpose OF pur-
chasing homes. Nearly al th~- sr ans
fers of real eatete- .~w Delng mace are
n actusf settlers, and very desirable
class OF people are locating here. 1t is
more than probable that one or more Of
the large ranches in this county are to
be subdivided and at once.
FRANCES CAN 60 HOME.
-.---ss c--.hes 40 ooncly young
Mexican girl of IL summers, and comes
from the classic precincts OF Mcpherson.
She left home two months ago and came
to Santa Ana, where she has been stay.
ing. This morning her mother swore
out complaint and asked that the girl
be sent to Whittier, but this afternoon
when the case came up, mother and
daughter had settled their difficulties,
and the young woman agreed to return
home, 80 the case was dismissed. Miss
Sanchez is good girl, and says her
mother ordered her to leave home.
