On the 29th of this month the people of this county will be called upon to vote whether or not a county high school shall be established at Santa Ana. The proclamation calling for the election will be found elsewhere in to-day's paper. To the people of this neighborhood the establishment of a high school at Santa Ana will be of very little if any advantage. When it is considered that there are but a handful of high-school scholars in the county—there is only one in this city and we do not think there is another on this side of the river—the haste of the Board of Supervisors in calling a special election, at an expense to the people of not less than $1,200, is inexplicable. This money, if it were expended in the improvement of the roads in the county, would subserve a much better purpose. Again, of what benefit would a high school at Santa Ana be to us on this side of the river? What benefit would it be, in short, to the taxpayers in the many outlying precincts of the county? Absolutely none. The school would be too far away—its many inconveniences would practically debar the children living in the outlying precincts from attending it. The spirit of the law is that high-school pupils may attend school at home. Under this view of the case it is the intention of our citizens to establish a high school here, just so soon as it shall be necessary. Those children who will be enabled to attend this county high school must live in districts contiguous to Santa Ana. Those districts should form a union high school district and pay for the expense of their school, and not ask that it be supported at the expense of the county. The establishment of this high school will saddle an unbearable tax upon our heavily loaded taxpayers. The time is not ripe for it—we have no need for a high school except in such districts as the taxpayers are agreed it is necessary and are willing themselves to support it. But to ask, the county to support it, for the benefit of Santa Ana, is quite a different thing. and 93,940 widows' original claims under the old laws; 135,611 of these soldiers and 73,982 of these widows have filed claims under the Disability Bill in connection with the above claims. There are 300,810 claims for increase of pensions pending; 179,214 soldiers' and 59,960 widows' original claims pending under the Disability Bill; also 77,180 claims in cases where pensions have been granted under other laws; and there are 5,418 claims based on military service prior to 1861. The total number of original claimants who have not been pensioned is: soldiers, 348,189; widows, 153,909; old war, 5,418; total, 507,516. All other claims are for increase of pensions already granted or duplicate claims under other laws. It is estimated that 1,208,707 soldiers of the Union are now living, and that 1,004,658 soldiers were killed in battle and died during and since the war. Of these survivors 478,356 are now on the pension rolls, and 120,522 widows and dependents are on the rolls. So it appears that 730,451 survivors are not pensioned, and 884,136 deceased soldiers are not now represented on the pension rolls. The expenditure for pensions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1891, as now officially stated, amounted to $124,424,110.37. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, we paid $109,357,534, while in the year before that we paid $87,644,779.11. In the past ten years our pension payments have amounted to $776,282,100.07. The cost of the German army, it may be interesting to note, is for this year estimated at $80,979,-738. Besides our pensions our army costs $30,000,000. This staggering and unheard-of expenditure is increasing constantly. Think of a million claims for pensions pending! Thirty thousand of these claims are allowed monthly, 360,000 per year! Calls for evidence made in 85,000 cases per month, and medical examinations are ordered in 45,000 cases per month! This is more than the people can stand. The pension bureau must be overhauled. The bureau is a mockery—a general grabbag for those who, more than half the time, are deserving of no pension—who never smelt powder at all. Their argument is, "The other fellow get a pension; why can't I?" This thing, if allowed to continue, will bankrupt the country. It is all very well to talk of patriotism, and all that sort of thing, but this pension Cyclops is greater than the people can bear. The next Congress should revise the rolla and strike from them the hundreds of thousands of names of pensioners who are not entitled to the money which they draw from the Government. what THE GAZETTE has done in this State, it may necessitate neck from Mr. Nance's yoke, to as a critic. We are doing quite Mr. Hall, and as for Mr. No schemes—we simply ignore them. THE WATER QUEEN COLL. NORTHAM WRITES A THE SITUATION. EDITOR GAZETTE.-Mr. Kraeger in your issue of August 6, 1891 in accordance with the facts them, I take the liberty to through your esteemed papers they exist. Mr. Kraeger, with others, on on the Kraemer ranch, on which thirty shares of water stock rented to one Acuna and Albany these renters is entitled to portionate amount of water shares of stock, and the book pays at the present time, shows of water bought and delivered to Acuna bought, April 26th,$2 water; April 29th,$4 water; April 26th,$2.20; April 30th,$2.40; May 1st,$2d; $2.40; June 1st，80 cents; $1.30; June 5th，70 cents; July 6th,$3. These figures show that one Acuna had $2.25 worth more water had paid for. On June 29th which paid up for back water his credit on the books of $2.75 for water to be delivered and not before. Run 6 began July 3d. Acuna water on July 2d,一天 began although water bough was not to be delivered before it. On July 6th Acuna had $3 was brought to him which showed $1.45 worth of water delivered which was not paid for prior to it. Other stockholders besides compelled to pay for water in an Kroeger's renter can first get them pay for it. I would ask Mr. Kroeger to be in writing asked Mr. Staley intendent, to induce Anderson soon to his renter,and why that he believed the Zanjero water to his renter without body! It the renter was enwater why did not Mr. Kroeger capacity as a Director,demand thirdo his duty and deliver should form a union high school district and pay for the expense of their school, and not ask that it be supported at the expense of the county. The establishment of this high school will saddle an unbearable tax upon our heavily loaded taxpayers. The time is not ripe for it—we have no need for a high school except in such districts as the tax-payers are agreed it is necessary and are willing themselves to support it. But to ask the county to support it, for the benefit of Santa Ana, is quite a different thing. Every taxpayer in the county, except those who are directly benefited by the school, should vote against the proposition. Especially those in the outlying precincts should get to the polls, and vote against it, for if the school should be established, they will be saddled with the expense of it for all time to come. Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Westminster and Garden Grove may attach contiguous school districts, if they wish, and form union high school districts, which shall be local in their nature, and where the pupils may attend school at home. By so doing, they become exempt from taxation for the support of the county high school, and this exemption will undoubtedly prove an incentive for the formation of such districts. But the outlying precincts—San Juan, Trabuco, Silverver, Newport, New Hope, Willows, Bolas, Yorba and the rest—which might not be able to form districts of their own, or may not be able to show the necessity for them—will be saddled with the expense of this county high school for all time. When Gabriel blows his horn will the time of their exemption come. They will never escape, and as the larger districts become exempt from taxes for the county school, taxes in these outlying precincts will become more burdensome with each recurring year. It will be too late for them to get out of it after the election. Once they get in it, they are there to stay. Then let them all vote solidly against the proposition. We on this side of the river are solid against it. We do not know of a man who is not against it. And we are all in favor of high schools. But they must be local in their support, as they are local in their constituency. We do not want a high school seven or eight miles away. Other districts in the county, ten, twelve or fifteen miles away, should also vote against it. The outlying precincts should vote solidly against the school. They will never escape taxation if they don't. Vote no, get your neighbor to the polls, and see that he votes with you. LAST week, prompted by a humane desire to say something about the nefarious practices which the law empowers the County Recorder to force upon the poor devils whose property is sold for taxes, we felt ourselves impelled to say: - A general grabbag for those who, more than half the time, are deserving of no pension—who never smelt powder at all. - Their argument is, "The other fellow get a pension; why can't I?" - This thing, if allowed to continue, will bankrupt the country. - It is all very well to talk of patriotism, and all that sort of thing, but this pension Cyclops is greater than the people can bear. - The next Congress should revise the rolls and strike from them the hundreds of thousands of names of pensioners who are not entitled to the money which they draw from the Government. Let us pension the disabled soldier, and pension him liberally. But It gravels us to think of men in comfortable circumstances drawing large pensions, and straightway placing the money out on interest. The pension bureau is quite as great a fraud as Wall, Jones and Bishop's twilight patent; only more se. SUPERVISOR SCHORN's vote on the high-school election has given rise to some comment. We are satisfied he voted under the same misapprehension entertained by the County Board of Education, as stated by Superintendent Greeley, that two high schools were to be established, one at Santa Ana and the other, at some future time, in this city. Had Mr. Schorn had the law at hand, or been cognizant of the nature of the proclamation, he would have voted more understandingly. There is but one high school to be established, and that will be at Santa Ana. When Anaheim wants a county high school it can whistle for it. There is no disposition, however, to be censorious toward Mr. Schorn. We must all pull together against the Santa Ana scheme, and we expect him to pull with us. In another column we print a letter from J. D. Schuyler, Esq., in reference to Wm. Ham Hall, and his employment as consulting engineer of this and the various other irrigation districts of the State. Mr. Schuyler is under a misapprehension as to the nature of our reference to Mr. Hall. We had nothing to say about his refusing to accept Mr. Schuyler's report on our irrigation district. Indeed, he was not given the opportunity of doing so. He can do so or not, as he pleases, and we shall have nothing to say. What we said was this: Mr. Schuyler's report is altogether good enough for us, with or without Mr. Hall's endorsement. We also said, and are of the same opinion still, that Mr. Hall comes too high. We cannot afford to pay him $1,200 to come here and look over what Mr. Schuyler has already done to our entire satisfaction. We think we shall be able to sell our bonds without Mr. Hall's assistance. That this is so is due in part to the fact that Mr. Schuyler has already given us his endorsement. We have a letter from Secretary Beckett of the Orange County Fair Association, saying: - A general grabbag for those who, more than half the time, are deserving of no pension—who never smelt powder at all. - Their argument is, "The other fellow get a pension; why can't I?" - This thing, if allowed to continue, will bankrupt the country. - It is all very well to talk of patriotism, and all that sort of thing, but this pension Cyclops is greater than the people can bear. - The next Congress should revise the rolls and strike from them the hundreds of thousands of names of pensioners who are not entitled to the money which they draw from the Government.

We have a letter from Secretary Beckett of the Orange County Fair Association, as Acuna did not have any him on June 29th, day 7 wrote the note to the Superintendent on earth was Mr. Kroeger chase Zanjero and writing notes to Zanjero for it; if it was not used having water delivered to him his renter was not entitled to? Mr. Kroeger cuts a pretty fight writes on August 6th; that Mr. Staley, of June 29th; that demand any favor; but the right renter for water due him and could not get. I defy Mr. Kroeger to show he had water due him (other than which began July 3d) on June 29th. Mr. Kroeger wrote the note te tended; and claim that the writered to Acuna on July 2d and 6d accordance with the rules of it and that the notes written by him to the Superintendent on June 29th was responsible for the delivery of water on July 2d; when he was not entitled to water. Mr. Kroeger writes,"why need harmony and act like men,and among us?" Now how can a work in harmony with a Board who, as soon as a meeting is called holders dissatisfied with the new hasten to Anaheim Landing tending the meeting? How can we avoid fighting salves when the board gives up reasons to become dissatisfied? not propose to sit idly by; for harm and know that a Director is endowed have the zanjero induced to give the Director's tenant, especially tenant is not entitled to water. When the Director can demand for all, some of whom depend on timely arrival of water as Ms.Renter and many of whom had had could not get it; then that Directed tiled on the board; otherwise I now ask that Mr.Kroeger his statement contained in his August 6th; or else step down again. I presume it will now be in order zanjero to step in and show that of the company are wrong; and Strain can make a motion that M.Boexon be exonerated from all blame. I understand that Messrs Strain and Sehran and the Superintendent合compiled to pay for water in an Kroeger's renter can first get them pay for it. I would ask Mr.Kroeger to help me in writing asked Mr.Stehran intendent; to induce Anderson on soon to his renter; and why that he believed the Zanjero on the water to his renter without body! It tthe renter was ennoble water; why did not Mr.Kroeger capacity as a Director; demand tha jzero do his duty and deliver tha stead of writing to tha Superintendent note that had such an effect on tha tendent that he notified tha examinee corn; and if it need must regard it as an exception violate the rules of tha company. Mr.Kroeger states that A plained to him several times promises from the Zanjero; bus water; and that he (Kroeger) has jero without effect; and then write a note to tha Superintendent As Acuna did not have any him on June 29th; day 7 wrote the note to tha Superintendent on earth was Mr.Kroeger chase Zanjero and writing notes to Zanjero for it; if it was not used getting having water delivered to him his renter was not entitled to?

They will never escape taxation if they don't. Vote no, get your neighbor to the polls, and see that he votes with you. Last week, prompted by a humane desire to say something about the nefarious practices which the law empowers the County Recorder to force upon the poor devils whose property is sold for taxes, we felt ourselves impelled to say: Recorder Foster is doing quite well. His fees for recording deeds to property sold for delinquent taxes in the irrigation district amounted the other day to $446 16. His salary goes right on, of course. And if the work in his office accumulates beyond his power to handle, he gets as many deputies as are necessary to clear up the business, and the county pays the expense all the time. The poor devils whose property is sold for a few dollars in taxes pay this $446 16—that is, they do want to redeem their property and save their homes. What a farce this law is; after all! Our esteemed contemporary, the Santa Ana Blade—which has smelt of the fat in the skillet, and feels bad whenever any reference is made to that part of the patent twilight fraud—rubs up, like a mangy cat, against and carries favor with the Recorder in the following effect: To the casual reader the above would look very much as if intended as a blow at Recorder Foster, and yet that official has simply performed his duty, giving the county faithful service and many extra hours of labor. If THE GAZETTE knows anything it knows that the only way to get rid of an obsocious law is to enforce it strictly and without mercy. We have no apologies to make Recorder Foster for our remarks, whether the "casual reader" of the Blade sees a "blow" in them or not. The law regulating the redemption of delinquent property is a disgrace to civilization—it is the law of the rich against the poor. Our remarks stand, the "casual observer" of the Blade, the fat in the skillet, the mangy cat, the robbers' law and Recorder Foster's "faithful service and many extra hours of labor" to the contrary and not-withstanding. In the current number of the North American Review General Raum has an article from pensions, from which we take the following extract as showing the enormous proportions to which the pension bureau has grown: There are now pending 168,975 soldiers We have a letter from Secretary Beckett of the Orange County Fair Association, saying that the association should not be accountable for the appointment of N. H. Mitchell as Director from this section—the same being a "scratch hit." Mr. Beckett suggests that a meeting be held soon for the appointment of a committee to take charge of our display at the Fair—if we should have one—Mitchell not to have anything to do with it at all. How does this strike our citizens? How would it do to ask Governor Markham to rescind Mitchell's appointment, and have another good man put in his place? We ought to have an exhibit at the Fair. It is really a shame that we haven't a good man pushing the work along. SUPERVISOR ARMOR hits the county high school a knock-out blow in his letter printed on the third page. On the first page will be found a letter from a Fellerton taxpayer, who is also fighting the school. Both letters will repay a careful perusal. Vote against the school. The Perris (San Diego county) Era (Mr. Nance's paper) displays considerable caloric at our indisposition to favor Wm. Ham Hall's little proposition to come here, at an expense of from $500 to $1,200, and tell us, after casting his eagle eye over the district, what he thinks of the layout. Mr. Nance's paper is consequently as mad as a wet hen. But when it says that we are attempting to "defeat" the irrigation districts (by refusing to sanction Mr. Hall's proposition) and must have a "selfish ax" to "grind" for so doing, we are constrained to drop perusal of its twaddle further—the weather is too warm. When Mr. Nance's organ shall have done half out Mr. Hall's endorsement. We also said, and are of the same opinion still, that Mr. Hall comes too high. We cannot afford to pay him $1,200 to come here and look over what Mr. Schuyler has already done to our entire satisfaction. We think we shall be able to sell our bonds without Mr. Hall's assistance. That this is so is due in part to the fact that Mr. Sohnyler has already given us his endorsement.

In the new Yorba irrigators I give you this known to us: July 14th, when they had been made in the canyon, placed in the river bed, to my water for Yorba passed through gate of the Cajon ditch: me 48 inches by 61 inches, with 4 inches on top, or old Santa Ana measure 4-inch pressure necessary being nailed. For over a week all went into thereby so far reduced that we irrigate, we sought an explanation informed that Mr. Kellogg had in new sort of measurement, reckless pressure from the center of our pleaded that all our contracts and were made under the old system; we could adopt the new proper compensation in the number difference being about one-third return to the old measure being removed our gate up close to the wedge there our old quotum of water and THE WATER QUESTION. J.L. NORTHAM WRITES A LETTER ON THE SITUATION. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Mr. Kroeger's letter your issue of August 6, 1891, not being accordance with the facts as I know it, I take the liberty of explaining though you esteemed paper the facts as my exist. Mr. Kroeger, with others, owns property in the Kraemer ranch, on which is located thirty shares of water stock. This land is rated to one Acuna and Albaros. Each of these renters is entitled to buy his proportionate amount of water on the thirty acres of stock, and the books of the company, at the present time, show the amount water bought and delivered to each renter. Acuna bought, April 26th, $3.80 worth of water; April 29th, $4 worth; March 1st, 15; June 20th, $; July 15th, $3. Acuna had water delivered to him as follows: April 26th, $2.20; April 27th, $1; April 30th, $2.40; May 1st, $1.40; May $2.40; June 1st, 80 center; June 3rd, 30; June 5th, 70 cents; July 2d, $1.20; July 6th, $3. These figures show that on June 5th acuna had $2.25 worth more water than he paid for. On June 20th he paid $5, which paid up for back water and put to credit on the books of the company 75 for water to be delivered on Run 6, not before. Run 6 began July 3d. Acuna received water on July 2d, one day before the run began, although water bought June 20th was not to be delivered before Run 6 began. On July 6th acuna had $3 worth of water delivered to him, which shows that he had $45 worth of water delivered to him which was not paid for prior to the delivery. Other stockholders besides myself are appalled to pay for water in advance. Mr. Kroeger's renter can first get the water and then pay for it. would ask Mr. Kroeger to explain why in writing, asked Mr. Staley, the Superintendent, to induce Anderson to give water to his renter, and why did he write it he believed the Zanjero could deliver water to his renter without hurting anyone? It the renter was entitled to the water, why did not Mr. Kroeger, in his capacity as a Director, demand that the Zanjero do his duty and deliver the water in making our watchman with the regulation of pressure. July 24. Supt. Sorenson not being satisfied with our gate on the weir closed it up and constructed a new one lower down, where he again insisted on his new measurement. Our water supply shriveled so much, that on the 28th of July Vicente Yorba could irrigate but one acre of corn on a twelve hours' run, full stream. July 29th. Many of the irrigators went to the place of division to remedy the evil. The last-named gate was found to be badly constructed. To the north the measure-board showed less than one inch pressure, while on the south end the water flowed below without touching the board. The measure-board was then lowered to the 4-inch pressure line, and the measurement was as follows: 48x32 inches, equal to 180 inches. Acting on a written demand of Mr. Sorenson, dated July 24th, we commenced to and reopen our own gate further up. Mr. Kellogg having put his stakes there to show how deep we should set it. We lowered the gate only 4 inches, instead of 8 and 9, as indicated, as it would have caused too great a pressure. There we took again our full stream of 300 inches, old measurement, viz: 48x64 inches, with 4-inch pressure on top. July 30th. Messrs. Shepard and Sorenson came up and requested us to take our water supply through the Anaheim system of ditches. The non-Spanish property owners were favorably disposed to an interim arrangement until their attorney, Mr. White, would return, but the Yorbas stuck to the advice of Mr. White, not to make any contract or agreement without his consent and approval. July 31st. The A. U.W. Co. sent an armed force to the division gate in the canyon, drove away our watchman and shut off our water supply. Superintendent Sorenson sent a note to Superintendent H. Young of the Orange ditch, saying: "I have turned 'the Yorba water' into the A.U.W.Co.'s 'ditch this day,' July 31st, 11:30 P.M." "D.J.Sorenson,Superintendent." In the afternoon the water in the Yorba ditch gave out; in the evening some came again from the washing out of the sandgates. No water at all after midnight and all day following. The Yorbas armed themselves, to fight rifle with rifle, but heeding my advice to fight their battles in court as it behoves all good citizens, they returned the weapons and went to Santa Ana to arrest the offending parties in the canyon. In the evening of August lst our watchman removed the obstruction from our gate, for which act he was arrested subsequently on the charge of destroying a dam belonging to the A.U.W.Co. Water came again to the Yorba ditch after 9 P.M. August lst. The charge that the Yorbas destroyed any of the Anaheim gates is absolutely false. During the irritating season all the would ask Mr. Kroeger to explain why in writing, asked Mr. Staley, the Superintendent, to induce Anderson to give water to his renter, and why did he write that he believed the Zanjero could deliver water to his renter without hurting anyone? It the renter was entitled to the renter, why did not Mr. Kroeger, in his capacity as a Director, demand that the Zanjo do his duty and deliver the water, instead of writing to the Superintendent a note that had such an effect on the Superintendent that he notified the Zanjero to examine the corn, and if it needed water he must regard it as an exceptional case and state the rules of the company. Mr. Kroeger states that Acuna committed to him several times that he had dismissed from the Zanjero, but very little interest, and that he (Kroeger) saw the Zanjo without effect, and then concluded to take a note to the Superintendent. Mr. Kroeger writes that Acuna committed to him several times that he had dismissed from the Zanjero, but very little interest, and that he (Kroeger) saw the Zanjo without effect, and then concluded to take a note to the Superintendent. Mr. Kroeger cuts a pretty figure when he takes on August 6th, that he did not demand any favor, but the rights of his poor owner for water due him and which he did not get. Defy Mr. Kroeger to show that Acuna water due him (other than on run 6th began July 3d) on June 29th, the day Kroeger wrote the note to the Superintendent, and claim that the water delivered to Acuna on July 2d and 6th was not in accordance with the rules of the company that the notes written by Mr. Kroeger the Superintendent on June 29th is reable for the delivery of water to Acuna July 2d, when he was not entitled to said renter. Mr. Kroeger writes, "why not work in harmony with a Board of Directors, as soon as a meeting is called by stockers dissatisfied with the management, when Anaheim Landing to avoid attending the meeting? Now we can avoid fighting among ourselves when the board gives us such good ones to become dissatisfied! I for one do propose to sit tillly, for harmony its sake, know that a Director is endeavoring to be the zanjero induced to give water to Director's tenant, especially when the rent is not entitled to water. When the Director can demand the rights all, some of whom depend as much on timely arrival of water as Mr. Kroeger's renter, and many of whom had water due and did not get it, then that Director is qualified to sit on the board, otherwise not. Now ask that Mr. Kroeger make good statement, contained in his letter of June 6th, or else step down and out. Presume it will now be in order for the renter to step in and show that the books the company are wrong, and then Mr. Kroeger can make a motion that Mr. Kroeger conquered from all blame. understand that Messrs. McFadden, in and Sehorn and the Superintendent and an order one day last week to deliver No water at all after midnight and all day following. The Yorbas armed themselves, to fight rifle with rifle, but heeding my advice to fight their battles in court as it behooves all good citizens, they returned the weapons and went to Santa Ana to arrest the offending parties in the canyon. In the evening of August 1st our watchman removed the obstruction from our gate, for which he was arrested subsequently on the charge of destroying a dam belonging to the A.U.W.Co. Water came again to the Yorba ditch after 9 P.M. August 1st. The charge that the Yorbas destroyed any of the Anaheim gates is absolutely false. During the irrigating season proper all the water, night as well as day, has been sold, distributed and used. That we sell water to the Orange side, is an old charge of our zanjeros' enemies. Time and time again it has been refuted, but if we should decide to sell any of our property, we would ask no one's permission. The revival of the water suit instituted in 1854 is a step in the right direction. Let all水 rights in this rancho be properly defined, that the new irrigation district may find a clear road. GEO.

In the name of the ana irrigators I give you the facts as to us: July 14th, when the division been made in the canyon, a gate was made in the river bed, to measure the water for Yorba passed through the first of the Cajon ditch: measurement, by chips by 6 inches, with 4-inch pressure cup, or old Santa Ana measurement, the pressure necessary being marked by For over a week all went well, when Superinfentend reduced the pres-ure to 1 inch, without giving us any warn-The flow of water in our ditch being so far reduced that we could not note, we sought an explanation and were indeed that Mr. Kellogg had introduced a sort of measurement, rocking the base from the center of the office. We need that all our contracts and demands made under the old system, and that would not adopt the new one without our compensation in the number of inches, difference being about one-third. The aim to the old measure being refused, we gave our gate up close to the weir, taking our old quotum of water and entrust- For particulars address J. H.
