The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Auchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...DECEMBER 24, 1896 IGNORANCE OR MENDACITY—WHICH? If the Santa Ana correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, given a chance to make a single error, failed to make forty, the only explanation of that seeming paradox would be that some stern and uncompromising master, standing over him with a club, limited that jasper to thirty-nine. In his letter of Saturday last, referring to the decision of the Orange County Superior Court, in the case of Mrs. Bixby versus the Anaheim Union Water company, on trial at Santa Ana, he writes: A long drawn-out case was decided in the Superior Court of this county to-day by Judge Towner. It was a case in which the right to use certain waters from the Santa Ana River was brought in question. The case was brought by Susan P. H. Bixby and others against the Anabeim Union Water Company, to obtain the use of the waters of the Santa Ana River, for the reasonable irrigation of their land for domestic use, to the extent of 300 inches, measured under a four-inch pressure. The plaintiffs desired that they might have the use of this water to the extent asked for whenever it might be reasonably required by them in the cultivation of their lands. They also wanted the water at the lowest terms, and on the best conditions that water was furnished to any of the stockholders of the company. The evidence was taken and considered by the court, after which a verdict was redered for the plaintiff in the case. This case has been in the courts for the past two and a half years, and every inch of the ground has been stubbornly fought over by the attorneys on both sides. A more palpable tissue of misstatements could hardly be found out of the work of this correspondent, whose failure to get at the gist of important events, either through ignorance or mendacity, has on several occasions brought reproach upon the Times in the past. But to say that this latest effort at mendacity filled those of our people, who, opening the Times on Sunday morning were already aware of the character of the decision, with disgust unspeakable, is putting it mildly indeed. Judge Towner made no such decision, and the item could only have been written in the sheerest ignorance on the one hand, or out of pure unreason in which he held that the lands of plaintiffs are rigarian lands, and that as such riparian owners they are entitled to the reasonable use of water for the irrigation of their irrigable lands, to wit: about 300 acres. He also found that Bixby did convey a right way to the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company as alleged in the complaint, but that said company never constructed any ditch or diverted water, and that they abandoned the ditch which had been constructed when they took possession. That Bixby did not convey a right way to the Cajon Irrigation Company, and that the allegations of the complaint as to the acquisition of the Cajon canal by the Anaheim Union Water Company from the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company were not sustained. The opinion further says: "The evidence shows that plaintiff's predecessors had water from that ditch on certain portions of the land, not very much of it, up to about two years ago or a little more. As as a final conclusion, it seems to me that the evidence shows that the plaintiff are entitled to divert a reasonable amount of water from the river for the irrigation of their irrigable land, whatever it is, and which I find to be, as nearly as I can from the evidence — it is quite complicated—three hundred (300) acres and more, the most of it, however, lying where it is irrigable and has been irrigated by what is called the "Bixby ditch," which is a ditch lying below the Cajon ditch. I think there is about two hundred and fifty (250) acres that can be irrigated by the Bixby ditch and about fifty (50) acres, or thereabouts, from the Cajon ditch, and not from the Bixby ditch. I think that the existence of that ditch, so far as the land named, the fifty acres which can only be irrigated from the Cajon ditch, I think that this existence should be construed in favor of these plaintiffs, as though their ancestor himself had constructed it there. It was commenced above this land, but that don't ignore any difference. I further think that the evidence shows that they are entitled to all the water they need for domestic uses and for their stock by virtue of their riparian rights, but I don't find, and I cannot find, that they are entitled to any specific amount of water. They allege three hundred (300) inches of water as a reasonable amount. I don't think I can find that, for the situation is such that it cannot be determined, the needs varying so much at different times; and then further, it would be necessary to bring other parties who are interested in the uses of the river, in before determining that they are entitled to any particular amount." Was the report of the correspondent of the Times based upon ignorance or mendacity, which?

We are having so much fun with our delinquent subscribers, rounding them up and causing them to come in and settle (we are doing so much talking and getting in so little money) that we would fain feel ourselves impelled to dilate upon the evils of procrastination, when it comes to paying one's delinquent subscription, yet once again before the old year is out—the subject is so near and dear to us that it is like pulling teeth to say even au revour to it. This is the last issue but one of The Gazette during this year. The business of the paper during this year just closing has hardly been such as would justify large amounts expended upon it week after week during the twelfth month. The cause has been too many delinquent subscriptions. If all had paid, we should have been rich. We are not disposed to quibble, or appear to be unappreciative, and all favors are thankfully received—every one; yet (we blush to say it) our bank account, as a result of the work of the year is very, very small—in fact, it is nil and few dollars over. Our liabilities we do not care to speak about, and our principal assets are good will in abundance and a health purpose to succeed and look pleasant during the coming year, though the heavens fall. We want to say just one more word our friends who are in arrears for subscription, that to-morrow will be Christmas and we need money to pay off our printers and paper dealers so that they might buy them selves some presents for the happy yule season. We hope it will not be necessary to recount this matter again (personally it is very distasteful to us), but we would imprime upon all the desirability of a settlement outstanding accounts before the end of this year. You would hate to have our collect call upon you after New Years, and have say: "Why, the editor was referring to me while wasn't he, and I never knew it!" A word to the wise is sufficient. We n'the money. Pay up everybody! PLACENTIA POINTERS ROADS IN GOOD CONDITION SINCE THE RAIN — RABBIT DRIVE ON THE TUFFREE RANCH. Editor Gazette. Since the last rainy roads are in splendid condition. The winters are buggy riders are enjoying th A more palpable tissue of misstatements could hardly be found out of the work of this correspondent, whose failure to get at the gist of important events, either through ignorance or mendacity, has on several occasions brought reproach upon the Times in the past. But to say that this latest effort at mendacity filled those of our people, who, opening the Times on Sunday morning were already aware of the character of the decision, with disgust unspeakable, is putting it mildly indeed, Judge Towner made no such decision, and the item could only have been written in the sheerest ignorance on the one hand, or out of pure unblushing mendacity on the other. The plaintiffs alleged in their complaint that they were the owners of about 6,000 acres of land, bounded on the south by the Santa Ana river, and that 300 inches of water, measured under a four-inch pressure, was a reasonable amount for the proper irrigation of the irrigable lands in the tract, and for domestic uses. In the second count of their complaint they alleged that on June 6, 1876, John W. Bixby and others conveyed by deed to the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company a right of way for what is known as the Cajon ditob, the consideration being that "the grantors shall have the same privileges as full stockholders in obtaining water, and shall be supplied with the same at the lowest rate at which water is furnished." It was further claimed that in pursuance of said grant of right of way the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company constructed the Cajon canal and diverted the waters of the Santa Ana river for irrigation purposes; that the Anaheim Union Water Company acquired the said canal so constructed by the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company and extended also alleged that John W. Bixby had been acquustomed to receive water from the Anaheim Union Water Company in accordance with the provisions of said grant of right of way up to within two years prior to the commencement of the action, but that said company had then refused to furnish water and denied the right of plaintiffs to purchase water at stockholder's rates, and repudiated all obligations arising under said conveyance. It was also alleged that Bixby had conveyed to the Cajon Irrigation Company a right of way for the same consideration stated in the deed to the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company. The plaintiffs therefor prayed for a judgment that they are entitled to the use of the water of the river for the reasonable irrigation of their lands and domestic uses, and sued for 300 inches for said purposes; also for judgment that they are entitled to be supplied with water at stockholders' rates. The answer of the Anaheim Union Water Company denied, among other things, that 300 inches of water was necessary for the reasonable irrigation of the irrigable lands of plaintiffs, and alleged that 25 inches of water was sufficient for that purpose; that not more than 200 acres of plaintiff's land was irrigable. It also set forth that under the complaint the court could not give a judgment that plaintiffs are entitled to any specific amount of water for the reason that a large number of persons—including the Yorbas and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company—were interested in the waters of the river and had not been made parties to The Fullerton reform league has reorganized for the campaign preceding the annual election of Directors in the water company, and have opened the ball by meeting and nominating three candidates for Directors. Its candidates will be A. Goodwin, George B. Key and E. R. Amerige, although Sydler Ross is thought to be quite strong among many of the stockholders having affiliations with the objects of the league, and his name has been used in connection with Directorate. At Placentia the names of W. F. Botsford, the President of the company; W. Crowther and W. M. MoFadden are mentioned; and in town the names of W. J. Fay and Max Nebelung are those most frequently heard, although the friends of Chester Spencer and E. F. Kellogg are also ready to take off their coats for those gentlemen. Ernest Browning will probably have the undivided support of his section. The names of J. P. Zoyn and F. A. Korn have also been mentioned as being available timber for the making of excellent Directors. So that abundant material is at hand for the selection of a good board. The report of the Board of Audit will doubtedly be issued to the stockholders in abundant time before the election to obviate the stories prevalent last year, to the effect until after the election, when the board were exerting tooth and nail to get the report out as early as possible, and only succeeded in getting it out a day or two before the election. The members of the Board of Audit—Messrs. Newman Essick, Chester Holcomb and Otto Rout—will probably go at the books on Monday week, and will push their investigations so that their report will be in the hands of stockholders five days before the annual meeting, in order to comply with the resolution adopted at the last annual meeting. The indications are that the exhilarating campaign of last year will hardly be repeated, although the election will undoubtedly be the interesting feature of the progress of the community during the beginning of the year. A committee of the grand jury has been with us again, looking into the municipal electric lighting system. From all that can be gathered, the inference is irresistible that some spirited itching exists at Santa Ana to end that a report of want of confidence in the workings of the system be given by the grand jury. Just what business the grand jury has with our electric lighting system it is difficult to perceive, and the attention of the gentlemen composing that honorable body might be directed to the experience of the gentleman who rolled up a great fortune attending entirely to his own affairs. Yet if our Santa Ana friends desire a report of the system by all means let them have it. But as we said a Say: "Why, the editor was referring to me while, wasn't he, and I never knew it!"

THE HOTEL MITCH A PASADENA HOSTELRY THAT ED OUT TO BE ANYTHING THE BONANZA THAT IT WAS TO BE BY THE OWNERS. There is trouble over the Hotel in Pasadena, and a complaint was The answer of the Anaheim Union Water Company denied, among other things, that 300 inches of water was necessary for the reasonable irrigation of the irrigable lands of plaintiffs, and alleged that 25 inches of water was sufficient for that purpose; that not more than 200 acres of plaintiff's land was irrigable. It also set forth that under the complaint the court could not give a judgment that plaintiffs are entitled to any specific amount of water for the reason that a large number of persons—including the Yorbas and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company—were interested in the waters of the river and had not been made parties to the action. The defendant company also denied that Bixby and others conveyed a right of way to the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company, and averred that the conveyance was never accepted by that company, but was filed for record by Thomas B. Brown, one of the grantors, without the knowledge or consent of said company. It denied that the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company ever constructed any ditch or diverted the water of the river, and specifically denied that the Anaheim Union Water Company acquired the Cajon canal from or under the Canyon de Santa Water Company, or was under obligations to furnish water to plaintiffs at stockholders' rates, or that it ever had furnished water to Bixby at stockholders' rates, or recognized his right to so purchase water. It alleged that after the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company had abandoned the canal for about two years the Cajon Irrigation Company took possession of it and completed it, and that its title to the ditch was derived from the Cajon Irrigation Company, and not from the Canyon de Santa Ana Water Company, and that the Cajon Irrigation Company never received a deed of right of way from Bixby in which the grantor reserved the right to buy water at stockholders' rates. On the trial of the case the riparian rights of the plaintiffs were not controverted for obvious reasons; and it was admitted by counsel for plaintiffs that they were not entitled to judgment for any specific amount of water, as riparian owners, so that the controversy practically hinged upon the right of plaintiffs to buy water at stockholders' rates, in accordance with the deeds referred to. Judge Towner delivered a volumnious de- For the Holidays.

There is trouble over the Hotel in Pasadena, and a complaint was Los Angeles some days ago, which indicate that things are rather mildly. William McNaughton owned property in Los Angeles, and W.D. owned certain other property in the Monte Vista, which they determine put together and offer as a trade Hotel Mitchell. Such a deal was like the liking of Mr. Mitchell, and was entered into, and upon the receptions that the hotel was doing a modest business, the proper conveyance made on October 13. The Mitchells represented that they conducted the hotel for three years during that time the gross recourse never been less than from $500 to $700 net profits about $200 per month too, it was represented that the twenty-five regular boarders, and eleven occupied rooms in the hotel that none of these paid less than one month, and the table boards a month, translents being charged per meal.

ASADENA HOSTELRY THAT TURNED OUT TO BE ANYTHING BUT THE BONANZA THAT IT WAS SAID TO BE BY THE OWNERS. There is trouble over the Hotel Mitchell Casadena, and a complaint was filed in Angeles some days ago, which seems to relate that things are rather mixed—to it mildly. William McNaughton owned certain property in Los Angeles, and W. D. Watson had certain other property in the village Monte Vista, which they determined to together and offer as a trade for the Hotel Mitchell. Such a deal was quite to liking of Mr. Mitchell, and a contract entered into, and upon the representations that the hotel was doing a most excellent business, the proper conveyances were made on October 18. The Mitchells represented that they had conducted the hotel for three years, and being that time the gross receipts had never been less than from $500 and $800 and net profits about $200 per month. Then, it was represented that the hotel had twenty-five regular boarders, and of these seven occupied rooms in the hotel as well; not none of these paid less than $35 per month, and the table boards $25 per month, transients being charged 50 cents or meal. Upon this showing, the Mitchhall executed a bill of sale of the furniture and personal property and executed a lease to the hotel for three years, while McNaughton and Watson conveyed their property and gave their note for $1000 besides, which was secured by the chattel mortgage on the hotel furzitgre. Upon November 16th the plaintiffs took possession, and then, as they allege, they found out many things they had not known before. They discovered that the Mitchells held the hotel for only eighteen months, and during that time the gross receipts had averaged over $225 per month, while the profits had been represented by zero, the expenditures being in excess of the receipts. In every instance, the plaintiffslege, fraudulent misrepresentation had been made, and now they come into court asking that the contract be declared canned, the note for $1000 delivered up, the battel mortgage released, and a recoveyer-made of the properties which were passed to the name of Hattle Mitchell.
