SANTA ANA.
Miserable Roads-Heavy Winds-News

complain, and justly too, that they are
losing much of the trade of the country
west of the river on account Of the mis-
erable condition of the roads leading
into this city from that country. The
population west of the river ia large
one and the residents very progressive.
No section OF the country ID increasing
more rapidly in population and wealth
than the Garden Grove and Westmin-
ster districts, the trade of which should
center at the county seat. Our board OF
supervisors should see to it that the
roads are kept in better condition west
of the river, and in fact all over the
county.
A HEAVY WIND.
Yesterday where large ponds of water
and mud could be seen are now only dry,
crusty places, as the wind, which has
been blowing in no uncertain way from
the north for the last AS hours, has Of
fectually dried the damp places up. Old
Boreas has turned himself loose in all
his fury and the way the wind has been
whistling through this valley is eau
ton. No damage to the orange crop is
reported, although the blow has been
the hardest one for many months past.
The wind storm of tho present time
proves the necessity for having good
wind breaks.

PROSPEROUS FULLERTON.
Just now Fullerton is enjoying an era
of prosperity that reminds many Of the
halcyon days OF the boom, but the best

three carloads OF cabbages east every
day now, and large number OF hands
are employed in it's packing house. The

400 carloads of barley will be shipped
from Fullerton this season. T e
