WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... FEBRUARY 12, 1887. SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. COLEMAN IS WILLIN'. Some time ago the New York Sun suggested W. T. Coleman of San Francisco as a Democratic candidate for President, and the suggestion was taken up and favorably commented upon by a legion of newspapers with a spontaneity which bids fair to place Coleman so far in the lead that there would appear to be little chance for anybody else. But we really fear that this spontaneous and apparently disinterested enthusiasm on the part of the press is all gammon, and has its inspiration from the shrewd manipulations of the political managers and not from admiration of the man. There is also evidence that that indispensable adjunct to a Presidential campaign—a literary bureau—has already been established in Coleman's interest. The favorable notices in journals wide apart have the same marks of authorship, and marked copies of these notices are being sent to people throughout the country. There is nothing wrong about all this, but it might just be as well for the people to understand that the honor is not being thrust upon Coleman; that, like Barkis, he is willin', and that the apparently impromptu endoraements are but the result of a carefully prepared and vigorously managed campaign. A Tex exchange says the people of that State are "not favorable to Boards and Commissions." She wants a stockquarantine law, and will be content to have the Commission feature left out. These roving bodies are not as a rule composed of practical men." This seems to be the almost universal sentiment of the people" outside of legislative halls. Laws should be so framed that their execution can be effected through officers already existing. There is a very great benefit derived, however, from these laws which create Commissions to carry them into effect, but unfortunately the people are not the recipients of the benefits. A GREAT RESERVOIR. The Bear Valley Reservoir in San Bernardino county is thus described by the editor of the San Diego Sun who recently visited it. A signal gun from our guide caused the appearance of a boat from the opposite shore, propelled by the two men who remain in charge, and in a few minutes the party are skimming across just above the dam. The two men in charge have little to do besides keeping a daily record of the temperature, the rain and snow fall, the height of the water, regulating its reserve supply according to weather indications and the orders of Engineer Brown. A visit to the dam was made immediately. It was found to be of stone and cement, similar to the diverting dam of the Flume Company in San Diego county. Commencing twenty feet in width at the base, it tapers from inside or water wall to a width of three feet at the top, the outward wall being perpendicular. It is about 200 feet in length across the face, and 60 feet high. It is built of course upon the arch or curve principle, else it would not resist the tremendous pressure against it. The arch throws the pressure mainly to the sides, and anchored as the ends are in the bedrock and in the mountain side it makes a practically immovable mass. The dam is a great triumph for Mr. Brown, the engineer, as it is the first of this kind that any engineer with a reputation ever had courage to construct. Probably nothing short of an earthquake will ever burst it. The water is now 494 feet in depth at the dam, and 52 feet is the maximum. Much water has been allowed to flow out in anticipation of winter rains which have not yet come, and the wastegate was shut down a week ago. The lake has an elevation of 6400 feet, and covers 1800 acres to an average depth of about thirty feet. In other words, it is nearly 1 mile wide by 5 miles long. There is probably as much water in this mountain lake as there is in San Diego bay between this city and Point Loua. The water in it has now been stored for three years, and Mr. Brown estimates that the quantity he now has on hand will furnish an irrigating stream of 7000 inches during the four months of dry season for a period of three years or twelve consecutive months. The Bear Valley Reservoir Company propose eventually to build the dam sixty feet higher, which will throw the wastewater out upon the Colorado desert, and Mr. Brown estimates that this will furnish a steady stream of one hundred thousand inches for twelve consecutive months. Very likely another such reservoir site, with ample water shed to furnish this enormous supply of water, could not be found in California, if indeed in the world.

This seems to be the almost universal sentiment of the people outside of legislative halls. Laws should be so framed that their execution can be effected through officers already existing. There is a very great benefit derived, however, from these laws which create Commissions to carry them into effect, but unfortunately the people are not the recipients—the benefits are conferred upon members of Commissions in the way of large salaries and little service. But then, what would become of hungry office-seekers if places are not provided for them? The Assembly Committee on Claims have agreed to recommend the payment of $19,000 to Bartol Sepulveda who was sentenced to life imprisonment in San Quentin, from Alameda county, on a charge of murder in June, 1874, and was pardoned out January, 1884, having been proven entirely innocent of the crime beyond the penal venture of a doubt. Throughout the years of his incarceration Sepulveda had steadily maintained his innocence, and at last, after serving eleven years, certain evidence was brought to light by detectives, and confessions made by others connected with the crime, which established the fact that he had taken no part whatever therein. The Board of State Prison Directors accordingly on December 16, 1884, recommended his pardon. REFERENCE was made in this column some weeks ago to an effort which was to be made to get the Legislature to remove a Superior Judge of one of the northern counties. It transpires that Judge Harris of Modoc county is the offending official, and his direlections comprise intoxication, immorality and a few minor bad habits. A large number of the citizens of Modoc county petitioned for his removal, but the Legislative committee has decided that it has no power to act. It could impeach an official for misdemeanor in office—which in law means official misconduct—but the private vices of officials must be dealt with in another way. They have an energetic way of doing things in Riverside. The Press says: "The carload of shrubbery sent to this city from Oakland was thoroughly inspected Monday by Messrs. L. M. Holt and A. S. White, the legally appointed fruit pest inspectors for this district, and two kinds of scale were found on them, and the stock was condemned and put in charge of Marshal Morse, fruit guardian for the city, and he has notified the owners that it must be removed from the city within 24 hours. The greatest care should be exercised in the introduction of trees and shrubbery from other portions of the State as there are so many places infected." Five hundred Chinese quail have been imported into California, and are now being distributed in several sections of the State in the hope that they will increase and multiply. They are about half the size of the California quail are quick flyers and afford fine sport. They will also doubtless develop a good appetite for grapes. Prohibition candidates in New Hampshire are paving the way to election by making gifts of barrels of flour. This is commonly more sensible than "getting up" the drinks, but is also a trifle more expensive. The apportionment of State School moneys among the counties has been made, and shows that Los Angeles county is third on the list. San Francisco receives $433,584. Alameda $118,934 and Los Angeles $97,666. SAN FRANCISCO, the town where six inches of snow fell the other day, is just across the bay from the Northern Citrus Belt. Chicago Fruit Market. Oranges — The demand is increasing for choice, bright Californias, and holders of such fruit are obtaining higher prices, as the supply here is very light, but it must be of the character described, as anything not coming up to this standard is rather slow sale, the least tinge of smalt placing it in the grade of common Florida, Russets and ordinary Mediterranean, with which the markets continue to be overstocked.. With those who have it ripe enough, the present month will be a good time to dispose of it, as the best of the Florida crop is now out of the way, but later on the Mediterranean will improve so as to rank well up with most of our Best Californias, excepting the famous Washington Navels, and the competition will then be very strong.

A schoolmaster took a piece of glowing charcoal from his stove one evening and dropped it into a tub of snow in his kitchen, intending to use it next day in experiments before his chemistry class. Then he went to bed. During the night he thought he smelled smoke. An investigation showed that the hot coal had melted through six inches of snow in the tub, burned through the tub's bottom, and also through an oilcloth carpet and floor. It was found lying in the cellar. The longest bill introduced this session of the Legislature is a county and township government bill, covering thirty-three closely printed pages.

Gazette. — The Supervisors made an extraordinary decision at their session on Wednesday, the 9th, which is of special interest to all stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company who have ditches on section roads which have not been laid out as county roads. Last year Silas Holman built a ditch about thirty rods long by the side of his land to carry water from the company's ditch to his orange orchard. In filling over a low place, the bank came out nearly thirty feet for a short distance, leaving thirty feet for the road. Austin Munger made complaint to the Supervisors that the road was obstructed, and on Wednesday he went before the Supervisors with his witnesses, asking them to order the ditch to be removed. They passed a vote instructing the road overseer to remove the ditch. It is difficult to determine by what process of legal reasoning they could reach such a decision, in view of the fact that the deeds of the land company reserve thirty feet on each side, making sixty feet reserved for ditches, railroads and roads.

Death of a Cannibal Convict New York, February 7. — William Comstock, the oldest convict in the Auburn penitentiary, died on Thursday. He was sentenced in Madison county in 1868 to imprisonment for life. He was then thirty-seven years old. Comstock killed and butchered his father and mother, cut out their hearts and ate them like a cannibal. His crime has always been regarded as one of the most remarkable on record, probably having a parallel only in that of Mrs. Druse. The officials say that Comstock never made any trouble in the prison. He was employed in the tailor shop, and looked after the socks worn by the convicts. He had been a confirmed opium eater, however, and his spine troubled him so much that he had been in the hospital for some time. Winter has been called the ruler of the inverted year, and when he lays his icy hand on nature, all things acknowledge his power. But he has lost much of it now.
