THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT. New Directors Wrestle With the Barnacles. Economy the Watchword, but satire continue About as They Were - Disatisfaction Expressed With the Lawyers Charges, Which are Finally Ordered Failed - The Plan of Arbitration Adopted by the Old Director Not Much in Favor with the New Board. When the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District met in adjourned session on Tuesday, a spirit of economy pervaded their office that one could detect immediately on entering. Salaries and expenses were to be cut down to the lowest, and it was given out that there would be music in the air in consequence. When the board met at 10 o'clock, quite a number of interested citizens were in attendance. The roll-call showed that all the Directors were present — Meursa, Yorba, Crowther, Bancar, Grealay and Kora of the new board, and ex-Director Wrede of the old board, who was present as a committee-man, having to report on several matters that would come before the meeting. Business was begun by the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. After a night correction in them, they were approved as read. The following letters from the district's attorneys were read: LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 7, 1890. S. Gardiner, Anaheim, Cal.—DEAR A motion for a new trial, notice of which was yesterday filed and served, will be made in the Anaheim Irrigation District case. I would send you a copy of the notice that is very lengthy and will not send it across the Board of Directors desire to have. They have taken almost every specification that it was possible to take; the effect which is, that the Court arred in finding that there was any land or any directors or any notices, posted or published or any writings, or in fact that there is anything which an irrigation district was or would have been created. This motion for a new trial of course was a part of the preparation to appeal, which will be taken if the court should deny their motion. The only manner in which the evidence could be charged all fees paid by the board for the recording of certificates of sale to the individuals diligent. The time stipulated by the old board in regard to arbitrating water rights at Yorba being about to expire by limitation, the matter was brought up for discussion. Director Wrede stated the intent of the arbitration. The copy entered into by himself and the irrigation district was read by the Secretary. It is quite a lengthy document and will be published next week for the benefit of our readers. The scheme provides for the selection of one arbitrator by the district and one by the owner of the water rights to be appraised. If both fail to agree upon a price, the two are to call in a third, and their decision shall be final. Captain Wrede had selected George Hammons as his arbitrator, but the district had not yet selected them. Ex-Servyor Wright of Los Angeles had been written to in regard to the matter and asked to act as arbitrator for the district. He replied agreeing to do so for $16 per day. The old board allowed the matter to rest there and since then nothing further has been done in relation thereto. The opinion of the present board is that there were no funds on hand with which to pay for these water rights after their valuation was settled upon. There being no Bond Fund, there was consequently no Construction Fund, the only fund from which money can be taken for the purpose of acquiring properties of this character. Although money can be transferred from one fund to another, doubts were expressed as to the advisability of so doing. As the board were about adjourning for luncheon the Secretary read the following, written on a postal card: "To the Honorable Board of Directors of the water district: Claimed: $160,000 A.U.W.Co.; $250,000 Yorba. The Constitution (Art XIV), the Supreme Court (McCray vs. Beaudry), even the Wright bill (Sec. 12) declares all water, available for irrigation, etc., "to be of public use." What belongs to all cannot be owned by a few. They may as well claim to be paid for rain and sunshine. They are entitled to a compensation for their ditches; and even that much has not been assessed for the district. Moreover they will get all the water they want as well as now. And those that get and want none will have to pay for little. Therefore $16,000 A.U.W.Co.: $250 Yorba. No more." The postal is signed "O. d G," and is supposed to have been written by a certain distinguished citizen of Fullerton. After reading the postal board adjourned for lunch, and reassembled at 1:30, when they resumed the discussion of the arbitration measures. In view of the fact that only three of the residents of Yorba have signified a willingness to submit their claims to arbitration, it was finally resolved to indefinitely postpone the appointment of an arbitrator for the district. At some future time it was agreed that PERSONAL MELA T. C. L. Kay is visiting at Dr. Bellard. H. K. Small of the Olive Mill on Thursday on a business visit. Miss Lowell of Portland in Plumtree.

This motion for a new trial of course was a part of the preparation to appeal, which will be taken if the court should deny their motion. The only manner in which the evidence could be brought before the Supreme Court was by first making motion for a new trial in the court below; hence that course has been pursued. Yours truly, BRUSSON, WILSON & LAMME. A second letter was read from the attorney, as follows: LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 8, 1890. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—AGENTLEMEN. As there seems to have been some misunderstanding in reference to the bill which we last sent with your permission we will withdraw the same, and leave the amount of our compensation to a future agreement between you and ourselves. We would suggest, however, that you remit to us the sum of $500 on account of fees, and a further sum of $255 which we have paid, laid out and expended, costs in regard to the matter, as appears from our letter of April 21st. We are attested that there has been an entire change in the complexion of the board and thus far hardly know what our status is or will be for the future, or whether we are still to be retained on behalf of the board or not. We would suggest that some immediate action and understanding is necessary for the reason that yesterday we were served with notice of a motion for a new trial, which will be followed by a long statement necessarily within the next ten days. Then action must be taken on the part of the board to see that proper amendments are proposed and statement properly settled, because upon that of course will depend the final action of the Supreme Court. Until we hear from you we shall continue to act and look out for the interests of the district as far as we are able, but would like to hear from you in reference to the matter immediately after your next meeting, which we understand will be next Tuesday. Very truly yours, BRUSSON, WILSON & LAMME. Mr. Crowther said the hiring of the lawyers for the irrigation district had been from the start one of the most bungling pieces of business he ever saw. He favored the payment of their bill and a discontinuance of business transactions with them in future. Mr. Spencer wanted to know whether, if the lawyers' claim were paid now in full, the board should rely on their conscience in future as to their other charges. The district will have to retain either their present legal advisers or others, and he thought it best to fix their salary before engaging them. The Secretary stated that the charges were at first fixed at $1,000 to carry through the courts, $500 of which should be paid down. The old board thought the amount was too high. Director Wrede had been dispatched to interview them regarding the matter and they agreed to charge only "for services performed." Captain Wrede, being upon to explain the matter under discussion, stated that in his interviews with the lawyers a reduction of their bill Moreover they will get all the water they want as well as now. And those that get and want none will have to pay for little. Therefore, $16,000 A.U.W.Co: $250 Yorba. No more. The postal is signed "O.d.G." and is supposed to have been written by a certain distinguished citizen of Fullerton. After reading the postal board adjourned for lunch, and reassembled at 1:30 when they resumed the discussion of the arbitration measures. In view of the fact that only three of the residents of Yorba have signified a willingness to submit their claims to arbitration, it was finally resolved to indefinitely postpone the appointment of an arbitrator for the district. At some future time, it was agreed, the matter would be taken up and acted upon. Quite a discussion was entered into in regard to the salary of Collector. That official receives $50 per month and fees, which aggregate a small amount. Both Directors Spencer and Crowther said their constituents were clamoring for the Collector's discharge, unless he should content himself with the fees of the office. Collector Cailman replied, stating that three fourths of the intelligent voters of the district would support him in his office, and that the clamor spoken of was more imaginary than otherwise. Finally Director Greley moved that the Collector be retained at his present salary. For a long time there was no second. Then President Korn left the Chair and seconded the motion, which was carried by the following vote—Ayes—Yorba, Greeley and Korn. Noes—Crowther and Spencer. The Treasurer was retained at a salary of $4 per day for all working days. Assessor Nebelung made a proposition to make the district's assessment for the coming year for $300. Last year it cost the district $475 to take the assessment by the day, and while this year the expense will not be so great, still it would be cheaper for the district and more convenient for Mr. Nebelung to have the work done by contract. This being explained to the satisfaction of the board, the proposition was accepted. Engineer Kellogg had the maps of the district on exhibition and went on illustrating different points in connection with them. He spoke at length, and was tendered a vote of thanks by the board for the comprehensive and edifying manner in which his maps were illustrated. The board paid the monthly rent of their office, and $580 to F. H. Keith for taking certificates of sale of delinquent stock to the Recorder's office at Santa Ana. Adjourned to the first Tuesday in June. Secretary Gardiner yesterday wrote Brunson, Wilson & Lamme as instructed by the board and forwarded to them a check for $500. A reply is looked for in a few days. The Fullerton Cut-Off Fred T. Perris, chief engineer, and R.Egan, right-of-way agent of the Southern California R.R.C., were in town last Friday, endeavoring to secure rights of way for an extension of their road from Richfield through Placentia to Fullerton. At the present time their trains from Riverside reach Los Angeles by way of Orange, and the proposed "cut off" is to save this long and unnecessary travel. The saving in distance is estimated at 65 miles per day, and in addition the time between Riverside and Los Angeles will be materially shortened. It is proposed to establish a depot on Placentia avenue. Had the line been built a few months ago, over one hundred carloads of fruit and various other products would have been shipped from that depot. Bellamy cause is everywhere gaining W. J.

We trust their journal life may be strewn with roses. Miss Annie R.

Bon engage. E.K.Cellins, agent for the E.Company, who has been with us four six months, took his departure for W.R.Saturday. He has shipped 17 carloads from this point during his journey company expected to ship 160 carloads both points, but there was a falling crop.

The city will have a good Deposit stable in the new appointee, F.H.M.Coupon with the running down capture of horsethiefies, which then is a story about an Indian man that Miller sent to the happy grounds in one of the upper counties years ago. Miller was driving a horse down across the Oregon line, afternoon corralled animals cooled about a mile further to camp water was handy. There were several in the party, and as Miller was a goat shot and rations were scarce he vailed upon to go out and see if he killed a deer. He had gone but a chance in search of game, when committing corral where the horses had been saw an Indian engaged in the work off them off. The horses had all been from the corral by the horsemiefiel where he hove in sight and the Indian was acting them off in great shape. Miller after and called to the Indian to "As else latter failed to head the warmier stopped his horse and leveled his chester at the Indian, now some o'er away. The Indian was crouching low saddle as Miller shot. In an insult plunged up his put them in the corral and returned 36 hours informing others of what he had.The party went to the scene 'ofthe alight when they found the Indian in the lake death. Miller went to town and randed himself as "nothing was ever said of it" by others. If he succeeded in killing a horse The board should rely on their conscience in future as to their other charges. The district will have to retain either their present legal advisers or others, and he thought it best to fix their salary before engaging them. The Secretary stated that the shapers were at first fixed at $1,000 to carry the case through the courts, $500 of which should be paid down. The old board thought the amount was too high. Director Wrede had been dispatched to interview them regarding the matter and they agreed to charge only "for services performed." Captain Wrede, being called upon to explain the matter under discussion, stated that in his interviews with the lawyers regarding a reduction of their bill, Mr. Brunson had taken offense at the idea and had left the room, leaving Messrs. Wilson & Lamme to negotiate for him. Mr. Brunson stated, however, that the case of the irrigation district had given them more work than expected, and that, had they taken the work from the start, there would not have been so much labor necessary in the premises. They withdrew their bill, as stated in their letter printed above, but the whole matter was so exceedingly ambiguous, the board thought, that the secretary was instructed to write them in reference to it and ask for an explanation. The Secretary was also instructed to ascertain what the firm would charge the district for carrying the lease through the Supreme Court and what they would charge to act as legal advisers of the district by the year. One Los Angeles lawyer had charged the Anaheim Water Company $10,000 for criminal legal services, and it was considered admissible to find out what the failure charges might be before the lawyers were retained. After further discussion of the subjects a warrant was ordered drawn for the balance due by the lawyers. In reference to the filing of papers asking for a new trial, referred to in one of the letters printed above, the opinion was expressed that, inasmuch as the time limit had expired in the matter of an appeal from the Superior Court, a new trial would be asked for, and an appeal taken from the Court's decision if such new trial were denied. In the matter of employing lawyers by the year, which was suggested by Engineer Kellogg, both Directors Crowther and Spencer were opposed to so doing until a conference could be held by them with their constituents relative thereto. The charges of the County Recorder for recording certificates of sale of stock belonging to delinquent taxpayers in the district, were read and on motion ordered paid. One hundred and sixty certificates were recorded, at a charge of 60 cents each, aggregating $200. The Collector was instructed to endeavor to secure rights of way for an extension of their road from Richfield through Placentia to Fullerton. At the present time their trains from Riverside reach Los Angeles by way of Orange, and the proposed "cut off" is to save this long and unnecessary travel. The saving in distance is estimated at 65 miles per day, and in addition the time between Riverside and Los Angeles will be materially shortened. It is proposed to establish a depot on Placentia avenue. Had the line been built a few months ago, over one hundred carloads of fruit and various other products would have been shipped from that depot. The larger part of this year's crop of that section, however, was sent over the Southern Pacific. The Vine Disease There are many vineyardists not only in Anaheim, but throughout Southern California, who firmly believe that the vine disease is a thing of the past. Mr. Handy of Orange, we are informed, reports that his vines, planted two years ago, show as vigorous growth and as great flow of sap as he ever saw in the palmy days of vine culture in this valley. The contrast between the growth and flow of sap this year, compared with that at the corresponding season of the past two years, is very marked. He believes that the vine disease has run its course, and that vines may now be planted with safety. John Ludeman, who has leased the Hagar vineyard, at Orange, says the vines on the 70 acres he is working are doing better than they have done for two years. The growth of wood and flow of sap is simply immense, and the set of fruit much greater than last year. Many predicted that this vineyard would be dead this spring, but it seems to have taken not only a new lease of life, but of renewed vigor. From all quarters in the valley come like encouraging reports.

At 9 o'clock Tuesday morning the large ammunition tank situated in the third story of Conrad's big brewery, near the South-west Pacific depot, broke through its support and toppled ever. The joints and some homes in that part of the brewery were broken and for a short time it was thought that a general snatch-up would ensue. Investigation proved that the corn houses had not been seriously damaged in the brick walls, and the weight of the tank was so great that the flooring upon which it rested weakened and gave way. The name of the giving way of the corn houses, bumble in innermost storage, was the fact that several bricks had been removed from the joint anchorage in order to allow of the proper planning of the tank. When the tank was filled with water for the final test preparatory to the beginning of brewing operations, which were about to begin yesterday, the weight of the tank was too great for the homes, and the accident resulted. For a time on Tuesday morning there were several wild rents current in town as to the great destruction wrought by the accident, but investigation proved that the loss will be comparatively insignificant. None of the apparatus is injured, and the principal loss will be in the delay caused by the break. It is expected operations will begin next week. Mr. Conrad was at San Pedro on Tuesday. When he left, on the morning of that day, he remarked that the support of the tank would be unaffected with the brink removed to allow of its being placed in position. However, his ideas were disregarded, and when he returned home in the evening he found his fears had been in fact too well grounded. R. A. Buchanan of Fullarton had a narrow escape from severe injury by the accident. He was laboring under the tank, and when he heard the breaking noise overhead he jumped out of harm's way. The machinery of the brewery is of the best pattern, and the establishment itself is one of large proportions. The machinery was placed in position by F. Babcock of Cincinnati, O., an expert in the business. The brewery has a storage capacity of 120,000 gallons, and has been fitted up at an expense of probably $15,000. When operations begin a visit will be paid to the establishment, when it will be given an extended write-up. It will be remembered that some months ago the brewery was partially unroofed by a Santa Ana wind. Mr. Conrad is unfortunate in sustaining these accidents, but he does Dr. Ballard received the and intelligence on Monday that his mother had died that morning in Boston. Mrs. Ballard was aged 75 years. The Doctor was contemplating a visit to her some time during the coming winter. He has the condolence of the entire community in his great loss. Captain Wommer of the Anaheim Baseball Club is in receipt of a challenge from the San Diego club, asking for two games to be played at the city of bay and climate on any Saturday and Sunday in the near future. It is probable the games will be arranged for in the near future. Charles Baker has shipped three large beets to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, to be placed on exhibition. One of them weighed 65 pounds, and presented such a fine appearance that it was sent East to form part of "California on Wheels," now making a tour through the States. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Herring of Kansas City, Mo., are sojourning in town for a few days. Mr. Herring is the gentleman who recently purchased the sheep shipped to Kansas City and Chicago by Avery & Everhardy. The stock shipment was in every way a successful business venture. J. W. Hart has shown us a Washington naval orange which dropped from a tree at Riverside on New Year's day. Although the orange would be regarded as a "cull," and has been off the tree four months and a half, it still retains a very fine appearance, demonstrating that its keeping qualities are of a superior order. Our Lemon-street contemporary, the atomic Budget, which for a long time past exhibited traces of decay in a plentitude of patent-medicine ads and boiler plate, is ex-piercing the disadvantages of being dead.

Pierce, the Government expert who spent some months here in looking into the vine disease, leaves to-day for Europe, where he goes to further study the grape disease, which prevails in Italy in much the same manner as here. Mr. Pierce is a pleasant and affable gentleman, but the belief is current that his investigations into the vine disease while here amount to nil. Pete Huff acquired a comfortable little jaglet, with the aid of several dozen drinks, last Saturday, and took it into his head to go to Santa Ana to paint the town. Arriving there he was arrested and thrown in the body of the jail, where he remained until Monday morning, when he was conveyed into the presence of the city magistrate and fined $5 50. He was allowed to come to Anaheim to "dig up" the amount. The residence of David Gunning of Riverside, who formerly lived here with his family, was burned last week. All of his household goods were destroyed. The Ladies' Social Club of the Presbyterian Church of Anaheim went to the relief of the unfortunate family and provided them with clothes and other necessities. We have been requested by Mr. Gunning to publicly tender his thanks to the society for the kindness shown in helping him in his late misfortune. To-morrow evening, at the Opera-house, He was laboring under the tank, and when he heard the breaking noise overhead he jumped out of harm's way.

Mr. Conrad is unfortunate in sustaining these accidents, but he does not let little things like that hinder him in his purpose. His steambeer is admittedly equal, if not superior, to any manufactured in the State, and it is to be hoped his lager will be fully as good. Visiting Bug Mem. H. B. Muscott and Dr. J. H. Pierson, two of San Bernardino's bug inspectors, were down on a visit to Anaheim on Friday. They came expecting to see scale-infected orange trees on all sides, but went away decidedly changed in their views. They were shown through the Evergreen Nurseries, and state that no trace of scale was found on any of the trees contained therein. The seedling orchard of F. H. Keith was pronounced to be the finest ever seen by the visitors. Mr. Muscott stated that the jealousy caused at San Bernardino against our orange trees is caused mainly by the rivalry of the nurserymen, and in proof of the sincerity of his assertion purchased of the Evergreen Nurseries several thousand orange trees, which he will plant on his ranch at San Bernardino. The visiting bug men were taken to the various orange groves throughout the valley, at every one of which they expressed favorable comment. They took the afternoon train for their homes. BIRTH.

To-morrow evening, at the Opera-house, our citizens will have an opportunity of seeing the celebrated "Peak Sisters of Alaska," an organization composed of the young ladies of the Orange College and others.
