The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED JEVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...JANUARY 31, 1895 Although some of the orange-growers here and there throughout Southern California have broken from their compacts and sold their fruit outside of their local associations—and this is true of Riverside, the center of the co-operative spirit, where one grower "jumped" the association and sold ten cars of fruit for $10,000—yet the indications are that growers are standing together more uniformly and with more persistence than ever, and with the advantage of realizing better prices than those who have sold outside the associations, next year the compact will undoubtedly be, as a result, all the more solid, and it seems doubtful if many growers will remain out of the compact another season. Tustin is the largest orange-producing section out of the association, having sold the bulk of its crop, said to be two hundred care, to Earl; and although they assure us they will do nothing to injure the cause of co-operation, yet they have reaped the advantage of high prices merely through the influence of that method of selling, and have disposed of their crop not only to the purchaser whose practices first gave rise to the necessity for co-operation, but have sold at a horizontal cut below association prices now ruling. Even at Tustin we hear that the owners of ten carloads have rebelled against selling to Earl, and will market through the association, and it would not surprise us greatly to hear of further dissatisfaction before the season is out. The Semi-Tropic Grove has sold to Thacker for $12,000, and the same gentleman last week purchased the Hoy crop at Villa Park for $10,000. Mr. Goech has also sold to Thacker for between $6,000 and $7,000. Had these splendid groves combined with the local association and carried the other smaller outside groves of their neighborhood along with them, the compact would have been absolutely solid hereabouts, as we think it will come near being next season. Unfair treatment in the manner of pro rating orders is said to be the cause of Tustin's disaffection, although this cardinal sin—if it really existed—will in the end, if persisted in, disrupt the associations from one end of Southern California to the other. At Azusa, where a grower sought to "jump" the association, and Earl's men had their boxes in the grove ready to begin gathering the crop, the local association took local measures to enforce THE BOARD OF AUDIT. Anaheim, Cal., Jan. 26, 1895. To the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The Board of Audit appointed by you at your last annual meeting, having examined into the records kept in your office and having compiled the accounts in such a way as to be a complete reflex of the year's business and the present condition of the same, beg leave to submit the following report: We found that the books have never been balanced in former years, and that no correct account had been kept of the cost of construction or of the expenditures of the money received from notes and assessments. In order to get a basis upon which to work, we compiled a trial balance of Jan. 1,'94, inserting therein in addition to the known assets and liabilities the two accounts as follows: Taking the value of the stock after the last assessment as $15 per share, we deducted that assessment from the said $15 and credited "stock account" with the total value of the shares outstanding at $14 75 per share. Taking this amount and adding to it the known liabilities and deducting therefrom the known assets, we made the charge of the difference to an account called "construction, franchises and good-will." The trial balance of Jan. 1,'94, then stood as follows, the debit side being assets and the credit liabilities: TRIAL BALANCE JAN. 1, 1894. Cash.....$14 39 Treasurer.....1,289 97 Stock.....$101,533 75 Construction, franchises and good-will.....$1,292 73 Real estate.....101 93 Labor and interest.....73,978 00 Bills payable.....250 00 Bills receivable.....73 13 Tools and implements.....73 13 J.S. Gardiner.....1,031 50 Bank of Anaheim.....$11 64 L. Brownning.....20 S. Littlefield.....70 00 G.K. Stone.....60 00 E.J. Swan.....5 25 Consumers.....560 42 Interest.....1,896 15 Repairs.....34 11 General expense.....20 45 Ditch expense.....613 10 Salaries.....85 00 Total.....$178,778 36 $178,778 36 We then checked over all the accounts of the Secretary, finding same to be approximately correct and accurate. North Anaheim.....76.33 Anaheim.....76.33 Total Heads.....East Months January....76.33 February....76.33 March....76.33 April....76.33 May....76.33 June....76.33 July....76.33 August....76.33 Sept....76.33 October....76.33 November....76.33 December....76.33 Total.....15,822.25 $10,081.08 $25,903.28 We believe this will be of value determining the price to be charged for water during the coming year. Had this been kept in this manner for a series of years so that we could make average of same, it would be inestimable value and interest, and would show practically the amount of water to be delivered during this coming year and the price necessary to charge for same in order to meet operating expense. Taking up the operating accounts again and averaging same with the total heads of water delivered during the year, find the following results: AVERAGE OPERATING EXPENSE PER HEAD, 1894. Interest.....$8,017 65 Repairs.....554 63 General expense.....948 71 Salaries.....144 50 Superintendent' and Zaujeros .....4,657 50 Cleaning.....2,992 80 Jurupa litigation.....581 25 Gardiner .....817 15 Bixby .....52 00 Bond expense .....187 50 Total.....$19,383 (9) AVERAGE OPERATING RECIPIENT PER HEAD, 1894. Uncalled for claims .....$100 73 Water .....15,567 66 Total.....$13,668 39 $ AVERAGE NET LOSS PER HEAD, 1894. The difference of the above $5,714 70 We recommend that the practice of the Superintendent and Zanjener of introducing fractions of cents their pay rolls and reports be discounted at once, it being the cause great annoyance and trouble to their Secretary, and of inaccuracies in their books. Your by-laws provide that these books of the company shall be kept by double entry. Previous to Jan.. We then checked over all the accounts of the Secretary, finding same to be approximately correct and accurate. The Treasurer's accounts we found to be correct and to tally with that of the Secretary. For want of time, however, we did not prove or check the charges to the stockholders for water, made by the Zanjeros. From a cursory examination of the same, however, we believe there are many inaccuracies therein, which could be corrected if the stockholders so desire. These inaccuracies do not effect our balances or averages to any extent, but might largely affect the accounts of the individual stockholders in the individual ledger. We checked up all receipts of cash from all sources and all expenditures of the same, and balanced the books with the following result: Col. TUFFREE's charge that Mr. Crowther has speculated in water stock, the latter gentleman's friends refuse emphatically to believe, until such times proof absolute shall be forthcoming. We have had occasion to have a plenty of differences of opinion regarding the water company and the irrigation district with the gentleman now occupying the responsible position of President of the water board, but have never found him to be otherwise than an upright and square man, and he is so regarded by all who know him. His assurance to us that there is not a particle of truth in the charge is altogether unnecessary, but we give it publicity that any doubts that might arise concerning the charge may be dispelled. Mr. W. J. Fay has been selected to take charge of the Orange county exhibit at the forthcoming annual citrus fair to be held in Los Angeles. It is the intention of the different county exchanges to make the fair the most splendid in point of artistic excellence that has ever been held, and the Orange county exchange has entered into the matter with a spirit that is an unmistakable augury of success. We of Anaheim and visinity should see to it that our section is not permitted to lag behind in this important undertaking. The oranges of this premier frostless belt are coming to be known as the thinnest-skinned, most superbly flavored and altogether the most desirable anywhere grown, and our orchardists should see to it that at the fair our fruit is displayed in a manner second to none in the hall. Mr. Fay's selection is a good one, and his integrity is such as to inspire the confidence of exhibitors that has bitherto been lacking, more or less, and we shall look to him to enthuse the growers to the end that our display may be second to none at the fair. A JOINT RESOLUTION will probably be introduced in the Legislature calling for an immediate investigation of the management of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley. This college ought to be abolished. It was established in accordance with a Congressional resolution. This loss of $5,714 70 in the operating expenses of the company has been met by loans, thus increasing liabilities and interest charges, in turn thus increasing expenses. We believe this to be an erroneous business principle, which if persisted in cannot result in anything but a continual increase of debt, which must eventually be met by the stockholders of this company. Comparing the assets and liabilities of Jan. 1, '94, with those of Jan. 1, '95, we find the following results: Statement of assets and liabilities Total $178,778 36 $178,778 36 We recommend that the practice of the Superintendent and Zanjers of introducing fractions of cents their pay rolls and reports be discounted at once, it being the cause great annoyance and trouble to the Secretary, and of inaccuracies in these books. Your by-laws provide that the books of the company shall be kept by double entry. Previous to Jan. 1894, this had not been done. Your committee have adjusted the accounts to this system and in the future it can be followed with a decrease of work by the Secretary and with increased accuracy in the accounts. Respectfully submitted, Newman Essick, Chairman, Chas. Otto Rust, C. E. Holcomb. Doings at Sacramento. The Senate Judiciary Committee has agreed to report favorably that bill abolishing the office of attorney for the State Board of Health and the Board of Health for San Francisco. The committee had also agreed to recommend the passage of the "Anne Moore Resolution." A JOINT RESOLUTION will probably be introduced in the Legislature calling for an immediate investigation of the management of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley. This college ought to be abolished. It was established in accordance with a Congressional law. The State pays a tax of 1 cent on each $100 of assessed valuation for the support of the university, and of the money thus derived the college receives its share. During the last five years the average amount spent per year upon each student has been $2941. This is used as an argument to show there has been the grossest extravagance. For the period mentioned the average number of students attending the college was 124 and the total expenditure was $182,369. The professors and instructors employed at the college number seventeen, and since 1873 only twenty-four students have been graduated and but eight of them are farmers. Gov. Budd is one of the graduates and the most of the others are lawyers, doctors, teachers and journalists. Prof. Hillgard is in charge and draws a salary of four thousand dollars per annum. Last year there were only seventeen students, of whom five came from San Francisco and not one from any southern county. Los Angeles has only furnished one student for four years, and Orange county none. Let the college be abolished. The financial statement of the Midwinter Fair has been made public. The total receipts during the entire exposition amounted to $811,003.12, which with $499,109, subscribed by citizens, made a grand total of $1,260,112.12. The total gate receipts were $503,507.94. Concessions, privileges, etc., brought in $271,282.93. For amusements, $113,740.83 were expended. The total cost of the exposition was $1,193,260.70. Subtracting the disbursements and liabilities, amounting to about $39,000, leaves a surplus of $32,464.44. The donations to the park, for the fine arts building, royal pavilion, statuary, etc., are valued at $121,218.45. This loss of $5,714 70 in the operating expenses of the company has been met by loans, thus increasing liabilities and interest charges, in turn thus increasing expenses. We believe this to be an erroneous business principle, which if persisted in cannot result in anything but a continual increase of debt, which must eventually be met by the stockholders of this company. Comparing the assets and liabilities of Jan. 1, '94, with those of Jan. 1, '95, we find the following results: Statement of assets and liabilities of January 1, 1894, and January 1, 1895, and comparisons of same, showing increases and decreases for the year: | | Assets | Liability's | Assets | Liability's | Increase | Decrease | | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Cash | $14 39 | ... | $2,644 06 | ... | $1,354 09 | ... | | Treasurer | 1,289 97 | ... | 101,553 75 | ... | 103,275 00 | ... | | Stock | 171,292 78 | ... | 2,686 19 | ... | 10,166 59 | ... | | Construction | 4,515 00 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | Real estate | 1,503 14 | ... | 73,978 00 | ... | 94,160 00 | ... | | Accounts payable " receivable | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | Bills payable | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | Consumers | 78 18 | ... | 560 42 | ... | 682 78 | ... | | Inventory | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | Loss and gain | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | Total: $178,778 26 $178,778 36 $208,284 37 $208,284 37 $24,990 87 $299 06 $29,506 01 Net increase: $28,791 31 $29,506 01 $29,506 01 $29,506 01 Loss: $5,714 70 Separating from our balance the operating accounts, and making a daily average of the same for the year, we find as follows: AVERAGE DAILY EXPENSES, 1894.

The enforcing act provides for a fine not to exceed $1000 or for punishment not to exceed one year's imprisonment or both. In view of the fact that the senate failed to make an appropriation last week to pay attaches many of them who had made arrangements to attend the inaugural ball were forced to mortgage their pay to numerous skylocks who invade the big white building.

TICKS FROM THE TELEGRAPH Sunday evening Ed. Dolan of Genoa stopped a buggy in which his wife was riding with Otto Werner of Empire and attempted to take her from the vehicle. Werner demonstrated, whereupon Dolan proceeded to knock him out. Dolan then tried to drag his wife from the buggy by the hair, kicking and otherwise brutally using her until bystanders interfered. This was all over in the State of Nevada. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 29.—The bill appropriating $109,000 to pay the claims of various newspapers for publishing the proposed constitutional amendments previous to the last election, was before the Senate Committee on Claims tonight. It was agreed to refer the bill to the Finance Committee without recommendation. The Committee on Claims also had under consideration the long-discussed Jordan claim for $79,000 for work done in the construction of the Folsom prison. It was agreed to report back with a favorable recommendation the bill making an appropriation to pay this claim. Discovery was made in the office of the county clerk at San Francisco Tuesday afternoon that the will of the late ex-Senator James G. Fair had been stolen and that in its place a lot of worthless paper had been inserted in an envelope that contained the bulky documents. There is nothing now on file or record to show what was willed by the dead millionaire. In effect it may be said that on the face of things as they now appear Fair loot no will. It now devolves upon his legal representatives to prove that there was a will, which they will be called upon to do when the matter of probate is again called for hearing before Judge Slack on February 7th. While there can be no hearing of the probate petition before that time the present complication will probably result in an early gathering of all the attorneys in court. The San Bernardino police now have complete evidence in the murder case of James Guilminot, which occurred at Colton October 29th. The murder was for a long time a mystery. Emelio Garcia was suspected and arrested, but the crime could not be fastened upon him. An accomplice, Juan Farra, was yesterday taken to the spot by Sheriff Holcomb and gave the full details, charging Garcia with the crime and acknowledging himself an accomplice. Guilminot was supposed to have some money secreted, and the Mexicans planned how to get it. They went to his ranch just at dark to buy eggs, followed him to a chicken-coop, stabbed him and led him bleeding around the place trying to make him disclose the hiding place of the money. Garcia then took the victim to a cabin, and falling to find his hidden money took the Frenchman's own knife, his own being broken, bent back his head, cut Wm. E.
