SANTA ANA, June 19.-The city well
that was put down last is causing great
deal of trouble. The pipe is SO torn up
about 800 feet down that it is impossible
to get the pump past, so the workmen
have run small pipe down past this
rupture in the pipe and are trying to
wash the sand up by turning the force of
the pump down this small pipe, which
seemed to work very well, and after the
pumps are stopped the flow seems to
fave increased, which is the end sought.
Quite little sand has been taken out
and if this does not increase the flow
sufficiently o new well, in all probability,
will be put down.
Again the railroad rumor has it that
the Southern Pacific will tear up its track
between this CITY and Anaheim and con-
meet directly with the Tustin branch
from Anaheim, and continue the Tustin
branch on west through Santa Ana, Gar
den Grove and Westminster to Long
Beach, thereby getting rid of one
branch bridge across the Santa Ana
river and one bridge across Santiago
creek. Such an arrangement would in
crease the distance to Los Angeles quite
materially on this road, but give Garden
Grove and Westminster good railroad ia
cilities which would be the making of
those villages.
The class of '97 gave farewell party

entertained, and during the evening they
took drive to Tustin, where another
class was being entertained, and met with
a warm reception, getting to their homes
about midnight.
