The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchol, Charles Kuchol, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY... JANUARY 18, 1894 CHANGES IN THE WATER BY LAWS. The contemplated changes in the by-laws of the Anaheim Union Water Company, as agreed upon by the Board of Directors at their last meeting, concern every stockholder in the company, and that they may be thoroughly understood, we print the old articles and the new, giving the changes, so that they may be compared with the by-laws as they now stand. Section 1 of Article I of the by-laws, as we find by referring to the books of the company, reads as follows: Each share of stock in the Anaheim Union Water Company shall represent one acre of land. Any shareholder may locate one or more shares of stock on any one acre of land, but no stockholder shall locate any stock upon any land in a less ratio than one share per acre. As the board propose to change it, this by-law will read: Each share of stock in the Anaheim Union Water Company shall represent an acre of land. Any stockholder may locate one or more shares of stock on any one acre of land, "and stock so located shall become appurtenant to the land, and become part thereof, and the company shall refuse to allow said stock to be transferred to any other land," but no stockholder shall locate any stock upon any land in a less ratio than one share per acre. The changes are quoted. It will be seen that the changes are most radical from the present condition of the by-laws. Section 3 of Article I, which relates to the number of shares in the company, and which is designed to change by increasing the number, is also one that should engage the earnest attention of every shareholder at this time. The section roads: No more than 7,000 shares shall be issued at present, until it is proven that a larger area of land can be irrigated with the existing water supply. The contemplated change roads: No more than 12,000 shares shall be issued at present, until it is proven that a larger area of land can be irrigated with the existing water supply. Section 7 of Article I, is recommended to be changed and amended so as not to conflict in any way with Section 1 of Article I, and will read under the new law as follows: Shares may be transferred by indemnity $1.25, Seconds, $1. These oranges are from Anaheim, Brookhurst, Placentis, Orange, Tustin and Villa Park, and are as fine as any in the market. The circular continues: "We claim our oranges to be equal to any in the State, and shall not ship any fruit which is not properly colored and ripe; and are confident that our style of grading and packing will insure its reaching you in a satisfactory condition. We call your attention to the fact that this Exchange guarantees every car of Navels to be just what it is branded, and free from frost." The Exchange is getting upon a solid foundation, and is being managed by the most capable men in the county. There can be no question that its operation will result greatly to the advantage of the orchardists. A circular from Riverside says the damage from the cold snap has been greatly exaggerated. The cold wave had been predicted and the growers were on the alert. The ground had been thoroughly saturated with water and it was kept running continually on most of the orchards. This with smudge fires afforded great protection. There was considerable damage in some exposed orchards, and especially to poor fruit and unhealthy trees. But the freeze has had the effect of cementing the different Exchanges, and growers realize the paramount necessity of standing together now more than ever. It is ill wind that blows nobody good. Long live the Exchanges! The sugar house goes on Section 22, a mile south of Edgerly's corner. This will take it out some miles or so from Anaheim. We should rather have had it nearer town, and if the beet and land company had stayed with the works last year, we could have had it on the old Planters' Hotel corner, if need be. But it goes to the center of the beet acreage, which is, of course, some distance out of town. We have it on good authority that the Southern Pacific spur to the railway will leave the main track at Anaheim, as we have all along believed it would. Vacant land west of town is quoted at $100 an acre. A year ago it could be purchased for $35. The sugar house has more than doubled its price. While the refinery is a few miles out, still Anaheim will be the trading point for all its business. Both roads will probably diverge from here, and an electric car line to the factory will give us ample accommodations for going out and letting the employees get into town after their work is over. At a chestnut song recital in Los Angeles the other evening two of the numbers on the programme were "Two Little Girls in Blue" and "Comrades." Fancy these two to San Juan? It is a solemn duty he owes to posterity and the historical society, to give us a call and be shown the most interesting antiquities on two continent. Don Marco Forater is expected home today from Enseada. Mr. Stephens of Los Angeles, the superintendent of the cannery, has already arrived here with his household goods. He will utilize everything that grows on trees or vines. He is not to be sneezed at, for he has a queer way of converting everything into usefulness, and will be cheered and applauded for galvanizing into life again a leading industry of Southern California. R. Mission, San Juan Capistrano, Jan. 15. COLONEL NORTHAM. THE DIRECTORS OF THE STEARNS RANCHOS STILL AFTER HIS SCALP. San Francisco Chronicle, Jan. 14th. The Directors of the Stearns Ranchos Company have determined to call Colonel Robert J. Northam to account for the manner in which he has managed their business affairs. A meeting was held last Wednesday to receive the report of the special committee appointed to investigate the charges which had been preferred against Northam, and before an adjournment was taken the Colonel received some pretty hard knocks. The committee consisted of Directors Henley, Polhemus and McGraw, and it submitted two reports. The majority report, signed by Honley and Polhemus, handled Northam without gloves and contained some strong accusations against him. In it the assertion is made that nearly $150,000 passed into Northam's hands, an manager of the company, for which he failed to render any accounting. An itemized statement, showing in what way each dollar was received, accompanied the report. According to it Northam received payments for land and in return for timber and fertilizing material sold, and ap propriated the money to his own use. The minority report, submitted by McGraw, justified Northam in everything he had done and recommended his complete exoneration. He attended the meeting and submitted a statement, but it proved a very weak one and had little effect. In refutation of each charge he simply made a general denouncement trying to produce facts or figures to prove the falsity of the documentary evidence against him which had been gathered. In consequence of this committee, at least those members of it who comprise the majority, when about to comprise their report felt that there was nothing left for them to do but find Manager Northam guilty as charged. A report setting forth this conclusion was prepared, but shortly before the date of which it was to be submitted Northam went to the gentlemen who had prepared it and requested that they defer action for awhile in order that he might go to Los Angeles his office is located and collect The section reads: No more than 7,000 shares shall be issued at present, until it is proven that a larger area of land can be irrigated with the existing water supply. The contemplated change roads: No more than 12,000 shares shall be issued at present, until it is proven that a larger area of land can be irrigated with the existing water supply. Section 7 of Article I, is recommended to be changed and amended so as not to conflict in any way with Section 1 of Article I, and will read under the new law as follows: Shares may be transferred by endorsement by the signature of the proprietor or his attorney or legal representative, and delivery of the certificate to the secretary, but such transfer is not valid until the same is so entered upon the books of the company as to show the names of the parties by and to whom transferred, the number of the shares and the date of the transfer; and provided further that no transfer shall be entered upon the books of the company unless all assessments due upon the stock sought to be transferred have been paid. "But no stock having been once located on a certain tract or parcel of land shall be transferred to any other tract or parcel of land." The changes are quoted. Section 6 of Article I, which is also sought to be changed, read originally as follows: No certificate of stock shall be issued until the assessments due thereon have been paid up inuff. As amended the 34 day of May last, it read: No certificate of stock shall be issued until the purchase price of the stock is paid with all assessments added thereto, and stock shall not be sold for less than twenty dollars ($20) per share. As voted by the Directors at their last meeting, this amendment is to be stricken out entirely. Section 4 of Article III, which reads: "Any member of the Board of Directors absent from regular meetings shall be fined $2.50 for each time so absent" is to be stricken out entirely. There can be no objection to the change. While we think some penalty should attach to members for abstenting themselves from meetings of the board, and thus interfering at times, perhaps, with important affairs of the stockholders, still the penalty has been a dead letter in the past, and might as well be repealed. Either have a penalty for nonattendance at meetings, and enforce it, or abolish it entirely. Section 3 of Article IV as it now stands, reads: At the first meeting of the Board of Directors in February of each year one superintendent and one or more zanjeros shall be elected. One month previous to such election the Board of Directors shall define the duties of such superintendent and zanjeros, and have the regulations of the company affecting his or their duties open for inspection in the secretary's office. They may also advertise for bids for the performance of the duties of superintendent or zanjero or zanjeros, which must be handed to the Secretary before the day of election. The superintendent or zanjero or zanjeros shall enter upon the duties of his or their offices on the first day of March in each year. The changes contemplated are that "March" shall be inserted for "February," and "April" for "March," setting back the date of the election of these officers and the time for enquiry upon their duties for a period of At a chestnut song recital in Los Angeles the other evening two of the numbers on the programme were "Two Little Girls in Blue" and "Comrades." Fancy these two beautiful songs being denominated as chestnuts already! It interests us very much indeed to know that they are so regarded in the Angelic City, as going to show how inconceivably far advanced they are over us in Anaheim, and we imagine some of our sweet songsters could give them pointers on chestnuts as are chestnuts that would awaken memories of the dim and distant long ago. For instance, the man who whistles "After the Ball," with variations, in the morning after breakfast, and the other fellow who gives us that other monatosity, the tune from Nanon that goes "ta, ta, ta, ta, ta." Long live the chestnut social! The report having been circulated by interested parties, as we are informed, that we refuse to print articles on the water question, except they be in favor of the continuance of the irrigation district, we desire to say that the same is unqualifiedly false in every shape, form or fashion. We invite communications from all of our readers upon all questions engaging the attention of the people, and no one but a dull liar would attempt to say that we have tried to suppress communications upon one side or the other of this important question. So far but one communication has appeared against the district—others have been promised us, but they have failed to materialize. But that none have appeared is in no sense our fault. Of course, we are to judge of the character of the communications going into our columns, either for or against the district, but we invite correspondence from all, no matter what his water politics may happen to be. The Grand Jury, which ended its existence in such a blaze of red fire, and scattered consternation in the breasts of evil-doers throughout the county, seems not to have been such a bad body of men after all, as the following would seem to show: Fred Goldthwaite, indicted for burglary—Acquitted. Plex James, indicted for embezzlement—Acquitted. I. G. Marks, indicted on a similar charge—Says he will be acquitted. Judge Freeman, indicted for hornswogging the county treasury—Says he will be alive and well when many of the Grand Jurora are dead. And so on probably to the end of the chapter. The Grand Jury cost nearly $1,000, and many taxpayers are asking themselves whether the game was worth the candle. A report setting forth this conclusion was prepared, but shortly before the date on which it was to be submitted Northam went to the gentlemen who had prepared it and requested that they defer action for awhile in order that he might go to Los Angeles where his office is located, and collect overdune tending to prove his innocence. A three weeks' respite was asked for, but the committee granted the Colonel six weeks. From that time, although repeatedly requested to do so, Northam made no effort to produce any of the evidence which he deferred that he could easily obtain. The sort of conduct solely tried the patience of the members of the committee, and finally becoming tired of the whole affair, they determined to submit their report to the Board of Directors. This was done at the meeting held on Wednesday afternoon, and action was immediately taken upon them. All along Northam has asserted that he did not care whether the majority of those members of the investigating committee condemned him or not, as he felt certain that the Board of Directors would not answer their action. Before the recent meeting concluded he accertained certain facts which led him form a different opinion. As charge after charge was road and then evidence accompanying each was explained—the greatest surprise was manifested; nobody had expected to find things as being they really appeared. A long discussion followed the reading of the report, and a strong effort was made to prevent it from being considered, but they proved a failure. Finally action upon the matter was taken porally deferred however, at the request Northam's friends, who expressed the belief that he would, if given a chance, prove that no matter what else he might have done had not been guilty, of any dishonest act. A resolution severely consuming him adopted with but little opposition, as well as a second resolution by whihch he was ordered to make an immediate account of all his business transactions on behalf of Stearns Ranchos company. The counting must include statements explaining why of disposition made of the $150,000 which sum is alleged to be missing. DEGENERATE CAPTIVES. Where waters tremble into hillside lights From rocky crevices and shaded pools The wild stag pauses, watch, fulwhile cools His shapely limbs. His proud head towards the heights He lifts to look in contemplative mood On his companions feeding freely there From nature's lavish feast, spread everwhere, And asking no man's friendship or his food. Where men betake themselves In tacit shrift Of city foulness runs a deer glen gift With close set barriers. Here, tame insertion The door cares men's hands for paltry gifts—Clara Davidson Godsey's A Telegraph Line Before Morse's. Honor to the policemen in the vast fleet of science! Mr. John Sime has published at the Chiswick Press in pamphlet for a very interesting memoir of Sir Francis Ronalda. Twenty years before Wheeler stone and Cooke or Morse had patented The changes contemplated are that "March" shall be inserted for "February," and "April" for "March," setting back the date of the election of these officers and the time for enquiry upon their duties for a period of one month. We should like to know the why and the wherefore of all this. A new section is to be added to article IV, to read as follows: It shall be the duty of the Board of Directors to fix the price at which the shares of stock owned by the company shall be sold, and to fix such regulations therefor as may from time to time seem just. These amendments should be very carefully considered, and stockholders should vote upon them, as far as possible, in person. At the annual meeting last January a committee was appointed to draft changes in the by-laws. It had failed to do so at the time of the last meeting of the Directors, on Saturday a week ago, when the board ascertained that the statutory time in which changes could be made would expire on that day. It immediately declared a success and went into consideration of the change, which should have been promulgated and given publicity long ago. The changes come thus at the eleventh hour. Do we want to adopt them? Shall we issue 5,000 new shares of stock, with the likihood of having them placed on the La Habra, which has never been irrigated before? The other changes are so simple and seemingly so inoffensive that the average stockholder will wonder why they are asked for at all. Let us study these contemplated changes well before committing ourselves to them. The Orange County Fruit Exchange is sending out circular letters to the trade setting forth that it is an incorporated body and has under its control 95 per cent. of all oranges in the county, and quoting the following prices: Washington Navels, fancy, $1.50; choice, $1.25; Seconds, $1 per box; Seedlings, fancy, $1.50; choice, $1; Secondals, 80 cents per box. These prices are for points east of Denver, where our fruit comes into competition with the Florida fruit; for points west of Denver the price will be: Navels, fancy, $2; choice, $1.75; Seconds, $1 per box; Seedlings, fancy, $1.35; choice, Fred Goldthwaite, indicted for burglary—Acquitted. Plez James, indicted for embezzlement—Acquitted. I. G. Marks, indicted on a similar charge—Says he will be acquitted. Judge Freeman, indicted for hornswogging the county treasury—Says he will be alive and well when many of the Grand Jurors are dead. And so on probably to the end of the chapter. The Grand Jury cost nearly $1,000, and many taxpayers are asking themselves whether the game was worth the candle. The Supervisors have determined to expend $1,000 in graveling the county road between Anaheim and Santa Ana, an advertisement elsewhere informing us of this important fact. A long suffering traveling public will rise up and call them blessed. FRUIT EXCHANGE. The Orange County Fruit Exchange met at Orange on Tuesday. Present—Messrs. Bundy, Cargill, Rogere, Collins, McFadden and Derby. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The committee on nails handed in several bids. The committee was continued with power to act. The Saginaw Lumber Company appeared in the person of Mr. E. J. Stanton, and a contract for 150,000 boxes was signed. Sundry bills were approved and ordered paid. Arrangements were made with the representative of Bradstreet for rating the Exchange. The salary of the Secretary was made to date from January 1st.

After resisting infinite temptations of the devil and celebrating Christmas and New Years, we are again wrestling with the sober facts of life and prophecying good things for 1894. We proudly claim for San Juan more water than any other two water districts in Orange or Los Angeles counties. The finest ruin, the finest echo, the highest dome and the most charming glimpse of the sea on the whole coast of California, and land as cheap as green corn in July. The stupid tender-foot hangs round the metropolis looking as grave as some men who are going to get married; then sends a gloomy report East and the whole cynical world turns its note up at us. Why don't he make a pilgrimage Calculating the Distance of a Storm. Although lightning and thunder occur always simultaneously, an interval shorter or longer duration is usually served between these two phenomena which is due to the fact that sound travels only at the rate of 1,100 feet per second while the passage of light is almost instantaneous. Based upon this fact is an easy matter to tell, at least approximately how many miles a thunder storm is away. A normal pulse beat about one stroke to the second, by counting the pulse beats during an interval of the lightning and the thunder lapse of seconds is arrived at consequently the number of feet which can be reduced to miles. For example: If 30 seconds elapse between the flash of the lightning and a crash of thunder, the storm center in a distance of 83,000 feet, or about miles. An almost accurate calculation can be made by using a watch with minute dial—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. A large and complete stock of Holly Goods just received at Lyons' store.

The following letter from Mr. W. Parris, Los Angeles agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is self-explanatory: LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12, 1894. EDITOR GAZETTE.—Dear Sir, I have received from our Senator, Hon. Geo. C. Perkins, a lot of seeds for distribution. If you can give me the names of any parties in your section who you think would like and make use of some seeds, kindly send me their address, and I will take pleasure in forwarding a few packages. Very truly THE SUGAR BOUNTY. The following petition to Senator White setting forth the necessity for the continuance of the bounty on sugar, is being circulated and numerously signed. It is confidently believed that it will receive 30,000 signatures before being sent to Washington: To the Hon. Stephen M. White, U.S. Senator from California, Washington, D.C. DEAR SIR: We, the undersigned citizens and residents of the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Orange, Ventura and Santa Barbara, earnestly request you to use your vote and influence to promote and foster the best sugar industry, now of such vital importance to Southern California. The success achieved at Alvarado, Watsonville, Chino and Anaheim during the last three years has demonstrated that we have the land and climate pre-eminently adapted to the successful raising of the sugar beet. But in order to render these available large sums must be expended in the erection of factories and refineries, for no factory can be erected to be profitably operated for less than about $500,000. With the encouragement extended to the sugar industry under the provisions of the McKinley tariff our people are taking hold of this industry in earnest—capital is being induced to come to our aid. Cooperative factories are being organized to be owned and operated by the raisers of beets, and our farmers feel as though there is now a bright prospect for emancipation from the hazardous necessity of being dependent on a market in Chicago and New York to sell perishable fruits and vegetables. If the present law remains unchanged, there will be a score of sugar factories established in these counties, giving employment to thousands of people now unemployed, rendering productive thousands of acres now unremunerative, and building up a new industry to bring prosperity to our entire country. If there is any change in the bounty now allowed by law, or if this industry should be subject to the fluctuations and uncertainties of a tariff duty, it would have a tendency to put a stop to all enterprises for the erection of best sugar factories—drive millions of dollars from investment with us and greatly injure and retard the prosperity of our State. By standing by this industry now, you will not only develop the great possibilities of the state that has honored you, but you will retain in our own land the stream of gold now flowing yearly from the United States in payment for sugar, in excess of the annual product of the mines of the world.

Very truly yours, W. Parris, agent. [Those of our readers who would like to make use of the seeds, will be furnished them upon application to Mr. Parris. Don't all speak at once.] Ed.] An injunction was served upon Miles Shoemaker, of Riverside, by the Riverside Fruit Exchange, on Saturday, enjoining him from selling his oranges to parties outside the Fruit Exchange. This is the first and only complaint of the kind that the Fruit Exchange has made against any who have signed the contract. The Exchange shipped out ten carloads of oranges Saturday evening. Orders are coming in fast and the Association packing houses are so numerous of activity. Every box of fruit sent out by the Association is guaranteed to be in first-class condition, and on account of that the buyer has confidence in the Association fruit. The frost score has subsided, and although there is some damaged fruit, advices say that it practically amounts to nothing and is called out. The Natives Had Scruples. Once an amusing story was told me by a South sea trader, writes Mrs. Robert Louis Stovenson. He had been in the habit of carrying all sorts of tinned meats, which the natives bought with avidity. Each tin was branded with a colored picture—a cow for beef, a sheep for mutton and a fish for sardines. It happened that the firm who furnished the mutton thought it a good plan to change their labels, that their goods might be more easily distinguished from others. The mark chosen was a red dragon. The natives came with their copra to trade as usual. The new tins were shown them, but they recolled with horror and gave the trader to understand that they had had some religious instruction and were not to be deluded into eating tinned devil. The trader was forced to eat his stock of mutton himself, for not a native could be persuaded to touch the accursed thing. "More Haste, Worse Speed." Of all the "tournaments" I ever saw, one among the "dairy maids" at an agricultural show was perhaps the last to associate itself with that hercule procedure which such a word suggests. There were about 40 of them armed with "churns" and started at the same moment to make butter against time. Each came provided with a watch, and the temptation was almost irresistable to turn the handle of the machine as quickly as possible. But no, butter must be "humored," not driven. The silent lists were filled with the provokingly deliberate "flip," flop" of 40 churns. One of the slowest combatants won the race.

There were about 40 of them armed with "churns" and started at the same moment to make butter against time. Each came provided with a watch, and the temptation was almost irresistable to turn the handle of the machine as quickly as possible. But no, butter must be "humored," not driven. The silent lists were filled with the provokingly deliberate "flip, flop" of 40 churns. One of the slowest combatants won the race. I never realized more plainly that "most haste is worst speed."—Cornhill Magazine. Just Like a Business Man. Kunnifus (in fruit store)—Which is correct now, "these peaches are a cent apiece," or "those peaches are a cent each." Fruiterer—Neither is right. Those peaches are 50 cents a dozen, or 5 cents if you only want but one. Kunnifus—That's just like you, Baldwin; never can sink the shop.—Boston Transcript.
