WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...MAY 6, 1882 Expensive Water. The Anaheim Water Company sued the Santa Ana Water Company and got a verdict for an amount of water equal to 60 cubic feet per second—3,000 inches. This verdict will either be upset by the Supreme Court or it will ruin the Santa Ana side of the river, as there is only about 76 cubic feet of water per second in the Santa Ana river at the head of the Anaheim and Santa Ana canals during the summer season. And now comes Thos. H. Smith, of Los Angeles, attorney for Anaheim, and asks to be paid a fee of $10,000 for his services in the case. While on this subject it is well enough to say, that on the 18th of April, 1881, suit was commenced by the Santa Ana Water Company against the Riverside Company for a portion of the water used by this settlement. Suit was commenced at that time to prevent the statute of limitation from running against the Riverside appropriation of water, and a lis pendens was hied in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Last week the year expired in which the suit could be prosecuted and the door is now forever closed between Riverside and Anaheim, Orange, Tustin City, Santa Ana and that section of country. The right of Riverside to the waters of the Santa Ana river are now settled and cannot be attacked by any one—Riverside Press. It gives us pleasure to say that you are mistaken. The right of Riverside to the waters of the Santa Ana river can be contested as well now as at any time in the past. The patent for the rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana was issued on May 21st, 1877, so that Anaheim has until the 21st of the present month in which to enter its legal protest against the diversion of its water by Riverside. The men who are charged with the duty of guarding the interests of the Anaheim Water Company are not the kind to permit this matter to go by default; and we venture to say that before the day of grace expires the proper legal steps will be taken to protect our water rights. It is easy to see why the Riverside people are disquieted at the recent decision in favor MANUFACTORIES. Their Value to a Community—A Live Manufacturing Town. The people of Los Angeles seem to have a just appreciation of the value to a community of the presence of manufacturing establishments, for they have organized a society for the encouragement of such enterprises. The value of a manufacturing establishment, more especially in a rural town, is not only in having a home market for the raw material required by the factory but in having as part of the population of the place the well-paid, industrious men and women employed in such factories. There are large, prosperous cities in the East whose sole foundation rests on the manufactories located within their limits, and nine-tenths of whose population is composed of the factory employees. We have in our mind as we write, an interior California town which a few years ago was as dull and inert a place as any within the State, but which is now a thriving, busy and prosperous community. We allude to Benicia. The transition from quiet to activity, from apathy to vigor is almost solely due to the manufacturing industries which have been inaugurated. The Agricultural Works, the four tanneries and the flouring mills give employment to people numerous enough to populate a country village. In short, the town is a palpable advertisement of the benefits which manufactures confer upon a community. Some years ago, a tannery was started in Anaheim, the money for the enterprise being furnished by a few of our citizens. The project was a failure. Hides were abundant, oak bark plentiful and cheap, sumac could be had for the gathering—but still the project was a failure, and the money invested was lost. Why, with all these advantages, the enterprise should come to such a disastrous end, was beyond our ken until we visited the tannery of McKay & Chisolm at Benicia a few weeks ago. The reason for the failure of the Anaheim enterprise was then made apparent. It was the old story of hand against machine labor—of the old-time methods being superseded and crushed by the modern improvements. In the Benicia tannery, mechanical appliances perform nearly all the labor incident to NOTES OF THE BUSINESS AT RIVERSIDE: Business at Riverside all were busy, and most done on a cash basis. Learn that contractor stock, such as nails, San Bernardino. Haul by teams tha Newport to San Bernardo to Riverside.

There seemed to be disappointment among side regarding the re-entry Anaheim and San Bernardino paths were evident. We drove out tha settlement near tha for our departure. Occying an addition ame make it a fine residue is quiet and home-bill rather high, but made if a party in time. The drive from Riverside over a very good road considerable force ame we were on the high-crossed the Santa Ana pleasant.

Cajon de Santa Ana was issued on May 21st, 1877, so that Anaheim has until the 21st of the present month in which to enter its legal protest against the diversion of its water by Riverside. The men who are charged with the duty of guarding the interests of the Anaheim Water Company are not the kind to permit this matter to go by default; and we venture to say that before the day of grace expires the proper legal steps will be taken to protect our water rights. It is easy to see why the Riverside people are disquieted at the recent decision in favor of Anaheim. They are in the same box with the Santa Ana people—the only difference being that they have not got quite as good a right to the water as the Santa Ana folks. In any suit brought against them by Santa Ana or Anaheim they will surely be beaten, as the doctrine of prior appropriation is the one which the Courts throughout the State have of late uniformly maintained as the only principle applicable to this State. The advice given to the S. A. V. I. Co. in a late issue of the Press, to carry their case to the Supreme Court, can hardly be viewed as disinterested. Riverside would like to see Judge McNealey's decision reversed by the higher court; and they would like to use the Santa Ana Company as a catspaw to rake that decision from the judicial bench. We misjudge our neighbors across the river if they will suffer themselves to be so used. Let them think for a moment of the dilemma they would be in if Judge McNealey's views on the water question is not endorsed by the Supreme Court. As the decision now stands, Anaheim has a prior right to the waters of the Santa Ana river; and assuming that the decision is maintained, Santa Ana has a priority of right to the water as against Riverside, and judgment to that effect would follow any water suit brought by Santa Ana against Riverside. Let the decision be reversed, and it is practically a victory for Riverside as against both Anaheim and Santa Ana; and the latter place can better afford to give us the water we claim than to have a legal decision upholding—Riverside's appropriation of water that of right belongs to Anaheim and Santa Ana: There are parts of the country—Massachusetts, for instance—where the ballot is not valued very highly by women. To be sure, its exercise there is limited to school matters, but even in this circumscribed sphere they do not generally take advantage of its privileges. It is different in Wyoming, where its benefits are represented to tell conspicuously upon the morals of that Territory. The Governor of Wyoming says, in praise of women suffrage: "We have better laws, better officers, better morals, and a higher social condition of things than could otherwise exist." PLANS have been drawn up for an electrical railway connecting the eastern and western ends of Berlin with each other. The project was a failure, and the money invested was lost. Why, with all these advantages, the enterprise should come to such a disastrous end, was beyond our ken until we visited the tannery of McKay & Chisolm at Benicia a few weeks ago. The reason for the failure of the Anaheim enterprise was then made apparent. It was the old story of hand against machine labor—of the old-time methods being superseded and crushed by the modern improvements. In the Benicia tannery, mechanical appliances perform nearly all the labor incident to transforming the hide into leather, and it is done better, quicker and cheaper than by hand. No wonder the Anaheim enterprise failed when brought into competition with such well-equipped factories as the one mentioned. Of one thing we are convinced, however. Given a tannery in Anaheim, fitted up with all the improvements and mechanical appliances which are a marked feature of the Benicia tannery, and place it under as intelligent managers as the Messrs. McKay & Chisolm, and it would be speedily made a paying investment. We predict that the time will yet come when, mingled with the odor of orange blossoms, the less pleasant odor of tan bark will greet the olfactoryes of visitors to this semi-tropic land. There is no advantage which the tanneries of the north have that will not be enjoyed by the tanneries of the south. They pay $18 a ton for bark, $115 a ton for sumac, and they have to gather their hides largely from this part of the State. There are enough hides to be purchased in this and adjoining counties to keep a large factory fully supplied, oak bark can be had here for $12 a ton and the native sumac can be had for the picking. The mooted question as to whether the California sumac will answer the purpose of the imported article will soon be settled. We have agreed to forward a quantity to Messrs. McKay & Chisolm, and they have promised to give it a thorough test and report the results. If their report is favorable, the cultivation and gathering of sumac will become quite an industry here—a profitable one, too, for the sumac bush will grow on the most sterile land. Is it Such a Humbug? New York Commercial Bulletin. The revised Anti-Chinese bill, which has gone through the House with such apparent unanimity, is evidently intended simply as a tub to the Pacific coast hoodlum whale. It is a very different bill from the one which the President vetoed, and even if it becomes a law it will have little effect in keeping the ubiquitous Chinaman out of the United States, if he choose to come in by "the overland route," via British Columbia, Mexico, Central America, etc., as it will in keeping the tides from rising and falling. The registration clause, which was requisite in order to somehow prove that the Chinaman was a Chinaman, is omitted; so is the so-called penalty clause; while the time of ex- PLANS have been drawn up for an electrical railway connecting the eastern and western ends of Berlin with each other. The road will be placed above the street on high columns, like the New York elevated roads, and stations will be erected at Lutzow square, Madgeburg square, Potsdam station and Denhof square. A curious point in the plans is an arrangement for lowering the trains to the street level at stations, thus allowing people to get out or in before the trains are raised again to the level of the track. Power supplied by electricity will do the work of raising and lowering the trains. It appears from the following correspondence that Gen. Stoneman prefers the uncertainty of a Gubernatorial nomination to the certainty of a nomination for Railroad Commissioner: SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.—The Examiner publishes this morning the following correspondence: San Francisco, May 1. General Stoneman, Dear Sir; Having heard your name frequently mentioned as candidate for Governor we respectfully ask you to let us know your position on this question? Also is it true as has been alleged that you employ Chinese on your place in Los Angeles. Yours respectfully, W. W. FOOTR. ISRAEL LAWTON, R. H. SINTON. SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. Messrs. Foots, Lawton and Sinton: GENTLEMEN:—In answer to questions you propound I have this to say: I am in the hands of the Democratic party and will accept the nomination for Governor if offered me by the Democratic party and shall be pleased to receive the support of my friends for nomination. I do not employ Chinese on my place in Los Angeles or elsewhere, never have and never expect to. Your respectfully, GEORGE STONEMAN. The residence of John Brett at San Jose was partially destroyed by fire early on Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Brett were not awakened by the flames until the house was completely enveloped and every means of escape cut off. As quickly as the fire became extinguished the firemen searched for the bodies of the unfortunate inmates. They were found but horribly burned, and charred beyond recognition. The fire is supposed to have originated from the upsetting and explosion of a lamp. ST. LOUIS, April 29th.—Two resolutions practically endorsing Governor Crittenden's action in the Jesse James affair were introduced in the lower House of the Legislature yesterday—one by a Democrat and the other by a Republican. Both were ruled out of order by the Speaker. An appeal from the decision of the Chair was taken. The Democrats voted solidly, eighty in number, to sustain the Chair, while the Republicans and Greenbackers, forty-two in number, voted against the Chair. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., May 3.—Hen. Horace Maynard, ex-Postmaster General, dropped dead of heart disease this morning upon getting out of bed. NOTES OF TRAVEL—No 11. Business at Riverside seemed very good; all were busy, and much of the trading was done on a cash basis. I was astonished to learn that contractors bought much of their stock, such as nails, bolts, screws, etc., at San Bernardino. The goods are mostly hauled by teams through Riverside from Newport to San Bernardino and then back to Riverside. I should think that such a progressive place as Riverside would put capital enough into the hardware and implement business to stop that unnecessary expense for freight. There seemed to be a feeling of chagrin or disappointment among the people of Riverside regarding the result of the lawsuit between Anaheim and Santa Ana. Their sympathies were evidently with the losing party. We drove out through different parts of the settlement near the town, and prepared for our departure. Glenwood Cottage is receiving an addition and when completed will make it a fine residence for travellers, as it is quiet and home-like. We thought the bill rather high, but better terms could be made if a party intended to remain some time. The drive from Riverside to Colton was over a very good road. The wind blew with considerable force and was quite cold while we were on the high lands, but after we had crossed the Santa Ana river it was very pleasant. We arrived at Colton about noon, just as the eastern express came in. Colton is the station where freight and passengers leave the cars for San Bernardino and Riverside and is a very lively little place, and is bound to grow. The surroundings are not very pleasant, but from the improvements that have been made it will eventually be very beautiful. Artesian water can be easily obtained, and many of the residences were supplied with water from tanks. The water was lifted from the wells by wind power. After the train left we drove to San Bernardino over a beautiful broad road with no ditches to cross nor bad grades to overcome. The road was bordered in many places with cottonwood trees, which were just putting forth their fresh green leaves. These trees are one of the features of San Bernardino. Many of the farms are surrounded with them, and Base Line street is Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, May 1st. Communication of Attorney General Hart in regard to railroad tax placed on file.

In the matter of the petition of the Gridley road in Artesia District.—On motion of Supervisor Hannon, at request of Mr. Gridley, the further hearing of the matter is postponed until June 7th, 1882, in order to allow him to introduce evidence in support of his claim to the road as private property, he agreeing to remove all obstructions now existing on the road without prejudice to the case. In the matter of petition of C. L. Jones et al., for a road in Norwalk Road District.—On motion of Supervisor Cooper the prayer of petitioners is granted and the road declared a public highway.

The road was bordered in many places with cottonwood trees, which were just putting forth their fresh green leaves. These trees are one of the features of San Bernardino. Many of the farms are surrounded with them, and Base Line street is bordered on either side with them for miles, and the drive along that street is fully as interesting and much more comfortable than along the more celebrated Magnolia or Arlington avenue at Riverside. The improvements are not so fine, but time will remedy that. The business portion of San Bernardino is conned mostly to one street, with some little doing on other streets running at right angles. The place seemed very lively, but there were too many business houses for the amount of trade; too much opposition and cutting in prices for any one to make much in business; besides I understood that there is quite a large credit business done and that is sure to deduct from the profits. We put up at Starkes' Hotel, a nice quiet place, and in the newer portion of the building fine, large rooms nicely furnished. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

WEDNESDAY, May 2, 1882. The County Recorder was allowed one deputy for one month at $60 per month. The petition for straightening the Monterey road in Pasadena was granted. The petition to change the old San Bernardino road and Daiton and Pomona road was granted. The Clerk was instructed to advertise in the Anaheim Gazette for bids to publish the County advertising for one year. A communication from the Telephone Company was read offering to place a telephone in the Court House at the ordinary rates: $20 for building line and setting instruments, and a monthly rental of $4 per month. Offer accepted, Supervisor Prager voting no. The following resolution was offered by Supervisor Egan: WHEREAS, A number of irresponsible persons have hired large numbers of criminal complaints against supposed violators of the so-called Sunday law; and, WHEREAS, The expense of trying cases for the violation of said law cannot well be less than $150 in each case; and, WHEREAS, There are already some 300 cases commenced, and if the present rate of filing complaints continues there will be some 2,000 in all before the Legislature meets, which will cost the county $300,000 if tried, and accomplish nothing save the financial run of the county; therefore, Resolved That the Clerk be instructed forthwith to have printed 200 copies of the following circular: To the District Attorney and Justices of the Peace of Los Angeles County: GENTLEMEN: If the present system of so-called Sunday law prosecutions is allowed to continue, the county treasury will be depleted and an enormous burden of taxation forced upon our people; therefore, the Board of Supervisors, as guardians of the taxpayers' interests, call upon you to observe the following rules in relation to criminal prosecutions under the so-called Sunday law: The District Attorney will cease appointing outside attorneys, as special deputies, for the prosecution of these cases, and will attend to all prosecutions himself, or by his regular deputies, as the regular business of the county will permit. There is no reason why any exceptions shall be made in favor of prosecutions for violations of the Sunday law to the detriment of the regular business of the county. All persons desiring violators of the Sunday law prosecuted, will leave the names of the violators and the witnesses in each case with the District Attorney, who will take them up and try them in regular order as he has time. Justices of the Peace will, whenever any person comes to them to file complaints in this class of cases, refer such persons to the District Attorney, and file only such complaints as the District Attorney approves. In all cases where persons attempt to file complaints out of the township where the offense is alleged to have been committed, the Justice should send such persons to the plying bread, Louis Edinger, meat, etc., Vickery & Hinds; groceries, fruit, etc., Newmark & Co; clothing, Hellman, Haas & Co; drugs and medicines, C.F.

Robert Donaldson of Tain, Scotland, said in the hearing of Daniel Foster a few days ago that he would bet any sum from $250 to $1,000 that he could jump from the Brooklyn bridge into the East River and alight safely. Yesterday an agreement was made in the Police Gazette office, under which Donaldson is to attempt the feat on May 14. Foster wagering $250 that Donaldson cannot make the jump, and Richard K. Fox wagering the same amount that he will accomplish it. Donaldson has jumped from the parapet over the central arch of High Bridge, which is 116 feet above high water.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy gale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known one of the California Mills put up by the undergrown escaped injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self-regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE, (a different length) in the ease and nonlessness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks, and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rates. For further particulars call upon or address S. H. SMITH, Anaheim, Cal.
