WATER FACILITIES OF ANAHEIM. The success of any portion of Southern California depends largely upon its water supply and facilities for irrigation, as the greater portion of the rains fall within a period of four months, and those crops which pay the best for the capital and labor invested in them require more moisture than attains from these rains. The Sierra Madre and San Bernardino mountains rise to a great elevation on the east of this valley, and are of vast area. The rains fall heavily on this vast water-shed, and the highest peaks are snow-capped the greater portion of the year. This water-shed is drained by the Santa Ana river, which flows through this valley to the ocean. It is the largest river in Southern California, heading fifty-five miles from here in the San Bernardino mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada range. From this point it wends its way through the San Bernardino valley, a distance of thirty-five miles, to the Sierra Madre range, and all the rivulots draining the eastern slope of this range empty into it and add to its volume. It has worn its way through a defile of this range, and at the narrowest points the bedrock approaches very near the surface. This important physical fact causes the subterranean flow of water to rise to the surface and be made available for irrigation. By this wise provision of nature our water supply is secured from danger by the diversion of water for irrigation at settlements higher up the river, which have to depend on the surface flow. The waters of the river are divided equally, the people of this section getting one-half and the people of Orange and Santa Ana getting the other half. Our water is conveyed to the lower valley in two large canals, designated as the Cajon and New Anaheim canals. The Cajon (or upper canal) heads at a point near where the county line between this and San Bernardino county crosses the river. This is between three and four miles farther up the river than the head of any other canal that converges water into this valley. This canal is ten feet wide in the bot- think their point is very well taken. It is this: Young men who attend the theatre should endeavor to refrain from going out "to see a man" between acts! To this we say amen, and hope the youngsters guilty of this breach of decorum will in future earnestly endeavor to refrain from this back-woods practice. It disturbs those seated in the same row, creates confusion, attracts to them unusual attention from all parts of the house, and is extremely aggravating when their return is so inaptly timed as to interfere with a proper view of the stage—the curtain having in the meantime gone up for the next act. And it is in extremely bad taste, what with the smell of cloves and peppermint after it! Don't go out to see a man, boys. It looks bad, and now that you know what the young ladies think of it, it ought to look just that much worse. THE blowing up of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor is most deplorable. The horror of the situation for the moment transcends all questions about the cause of the overwhelming catastrophe. Whether it be the result of the foe or not, no one can doubt that the situation between the United States and Spain is daily becoming more serious, and may at any time burst into a conflict. Let the government put a stop to this slaughter of the Cubans, and then if need be let us administer to the impudent Spanish dons that wholesome lesson for which they have been aching for upwards of a year. Man's Immortal Soul. EDITOR GAZETTE—In reading the last number of your paper I find a communication under the above heading. Now, I do not wish to raise any controversy with the writer of that article, but simply ask him a question: Is it proposed to be proven at the meetings referred to that man has an immortal soul? I don't mean to prove it by witnesses that have been dead from two to four thousand years, but by modern evidence such as would be accepted by any of our courts of law; sufficient to convince an intelligent judge or jury beyond a reasonable doubt that such is the fact? If he will make the announcement that they will do this, he will find the little church packed as it has never been packed before. Now, I don't ask this question because I have any doubts about that fact myself, for I have long since been convinced to my own satisfaction not that man has an immortal soul, but that man is an immortal soul, and can no more die than the Author of his being can die. But I know a great many very good and intelligent think their point is very well taken.

Our water is conveyed to the lower valley in two large canals, designated as the Cajon and New Anaheim canals. The Cajon (or upper canal) heads at a point near where the county line between this and San Bernardino county crosses the river. This is between three and four miles farther up the river than the head of any other canal that conveys water into this valley. This canal is ten feet wide in the bottom and three feet deep, and has a carrying capacity of 3000 inches. It conveys water a distance of 16 miles into Placentia, an elevated section of country at the base of the foot-hills. At the entrance of this canal into that settlement there is a small distributing reservoir that will hold the water during the night, doing away with the necessity for night irrigation. This is a great saving of water and labor. The New Anaheim (or lower) canal has its source at a point on the river just below the head of the Orange canal, between four and five miles below the head of the upper canal. This canal gathers up the waters that pass the upper canals and gets the advantage of the seepage below them. It is eight feet wide in the bottom and four feet deep, with a carrying capacity of 3000 inches, making a grand total of 6000 inches. It will be seen from the above that our irrigating facilities are very great, but we still have a large area of country not yet under cultivation, and knowing that with its development the demand for water will increase, and with a zeal and enterprise consistent with the importance of the water system as a component factor in the development of this country, the company will one day increase their water supply so as to insure to all parties outside the irrigable area a sufficient amount to meet their requirements. In order to do this they have secured the site for a large reservoir on the upper side of the valley, at the terminus of the New Anaheim ditch before referred to. This reservoir contains 47.61 acres and will have a depth of 25 feet. When full of water its storage capacity will be 403,363,291 gallons. With a discharge of ten cubic feet per second (or 75 gallons) it would take sixty days to empty the reservoir, supposing no water to enter meanwhile. The administration of our water affairs is on the best possible basis, the water company being of the people and for the people. It is a joint stock company, known as the Anaheim Union Water Company, each share of stock representing an acre of land. A regular stockholders' meeting is held once a year, and a board of seven directors is selected from their number to manage the business of the company for the ensuing year. The charges for water are no more than sufficient to cover the running expenses of the company.

It is a joint stock company, known as the Anaheim Union Water Company, each share of stock representing an acre of land. A regular stockholders' meeting is held once a year, and a board of seven directors is selected from their number to manage the business of the company for the ensuing year. The charges for water are no more than sufficient to cover the running expenses of the company. In addition to the above source of water supply we have what is termed the artesian well belt, beginning about one mile west of Anaheim and extending westward to the ocean. Fine flowing wells are obtained at depths varying from 180 to 300 feet. A good well will furnish the water required to irrigate 40 acres of land. An inexhaustible supply of surface water can be obtained at depths varying, according to the locality, from ten to thirty feet. The domestic water for the town of Anaheim is supplied by wells nine inches in diameter and ninety feet deep. The water is pumped by steam pumps into tanks, and thence distributed through pipes to all portions of the town. The recent enlargement and improvement of the city water-works have given us the most perfect water system owned by any town of similar size in Southern California. The pressure in case of fire is perfect. Streams are thrown to the height of 200 feet. Indeed, so absolute is the city's protection from fire that a material reduction in insurance rates is now in contemplation by the insurance companies. Two of the GAZETTE's best friends among the young ladies of Anaheim, who are noted for their wisdom quite as much as for their charming ambition, send word that they (in common, we add with all the other pretty girls of the city) are in hearty accord with the sentiments expressed in these columns last week relative to the propriety of the ladies removing their hats at the theatre; but, now that that reform has been so happily inaugurated, they suggest a "reform" for the young men who attend the show as well. And we Haas, who represents one of the largest mercantile houses in Hamburg, Germany, was in the city to-day, accompanied by C. C. Kinsey and J. G. Patton of the Johnson-Locke Mercantile Company of San Francisco. Mr. Haas has been in the State for some time, for the purpose of contracting for California dried-fruit products for the Hamburg firm he represents, and to-day closed a bargain with the Johnson-Locke Mercantile Company, by which it agreed to furnish for his Hamburg house during the year 1898 dried fruits, including prunes, peaches, apricots and raisins, goods to cost in excess of $400,000, which, Messrs. Kinsey and Patton state is the largest sale of California products ever made in Europe. Hamburg, being a free port of entry, is a distributing center, and the fruit that goes there will be sent throughout Germany, Denmark and Norway and Sweden. With $400,000 worth of California dried fruit scattered through the countries named, it should be pretty thoroughly advertised by the time the season of 1899 shall open. Around the Kite Only $4 10 for the round-trip ticket over the kite-shaped track of the Santa Fe route. Tickets good going via Los Angeles and returning via Orange. Train leaves Anaheim every day except Sunday at 8 a.m. A special train carrying an observation car makes the entire trip "around the kite" every Tuesday. It is understood that Spain recently applied to Great Britain for assistance in raising a loan, to which the Marquis of Salisbury referred at the opening of the House of Lords on Tuesday last, when he said that China was not the only government that might want money. According to club gossip, the Spanish legations in London and elsewhere are suffering from long delay in their remittances, and the diplomats have been forced to defray the expenses of their establishments.

THE MAINE DESTROYED The Battleship Blown up in Havana Harbor on Tuesday Evening. HAVANA; Feb. 15.-At a quarter of 10 o’clock this evening a terrible explosion took place on board the United States battleship Maine in Havana harbor. Many were killed or wounded. All the boats of the Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII are assisting. As yet the cause of the explosion is not apparent. The wounded sailors of the Maine are unable to explain the disaster. It is believed that the battleship is totally destroyed. The explosion shook the whole city. The windows were broken in all the houses. The correspondent of the Associated Press says he has conversed with several of the wounded sailors, and understands from them that the explosion took place while they were asleep, so that they can give no particulars as to the cause. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Secretary of the Navy received the following telegram from Capt Sigbee: “Maine blown up in Havana harbor at 9:40 and destroyed. Many wounded and doubtless many killed and drowned. Wounded and others on board Spanish man-of-war and Ward Line steamer. Send lighthouse tender from Key West for crew and few pieces of equipment still above water. No one had other clothes than those upon him.Public opinion should be suspended until further report.All officers believed to be saved.Jenkins and Meritt not yet accounted for.Many Spanish officers, including representatives of Gen.Blanco now with me and express sympathy.SIGSBEE.” The officers referred to in the above dispatch are Lieut.Friend.W.Jenkins and Assistant Engineer Darwin R.Merritt.From the wording of the dispatch,the Navy Department thinks it is possible that they were on shore at the time of the accident.The Secretary of the Navy received another dispatch from Key West at the same time with the above,但 its contents were not made public. The orders for the lighthouse tenders were at once sent to Key West inplain language thus avoiding the delay that would have arisen from the use of a cipher. Capt.Dickens,after carrying out the instructions of Secretary Long with regard to relief measures for the survivors of the Maine.went at once to the White House where the President was aroused and informed of the disaster.President McKinley received the news calmly and expressed his deep sorrow,bbut said nothing further except that he was thoroughly satisfied with the measures adopted by the Navy Department.in the De Lome letter,tothe effect that Spain was conducting commercial negotiations merely for effect.Sagasta and his cabinet met in the afternoon and after the session,publicly announced that their government could take no action on a private letter formally accepted De Lome’s resignation,and recommended to the Queen regent the appointment of Don Louis Polo Bernas as his successor. At the same time Spain has actually begun the work of arming six fast merchant steamers in preparation for actual hostilities. Dispatches from various steel foundries in the United States are to the effect that this government has given orders for projectiles，shot and shell,and that everywhere large gangs of employees are turning them out with feverish energy. More important than all is the fact that our government has allowed congress to take action.To-day the house of representatives called for reports of our consuls in Cuba relative to the condition of starving reconcentrado and concerning the progress of autonomy.The call could,course,have been prevented by the administration,because the house foreign affairs committee has acted only in accordance with McKinley’s desires.The mere call for information proves that the president wished the house to ask for information,sо that he might have reason for collecting it.The bowing of the speaker to the will of the house is understood by everybody in Washington to mean that President McKinley has pulled the bell to the engine-room,and that the ship of state is to go ahead. When the consular reports are read and congress is in possession of the horrible facts,the task will be made easy for McKinley to fulfill the promises of his message and intervene to prevent war. LONDON,Feb.15.-A special from Madrid says that the populace of that city is greatly enraged owing to the belief that the Spanish cabinet has apologized to the United States for the sentiments contained in the De Lome letter.The populace,the dispatch adds.is bitterly opposed to such a course.In conclusionthe dispatch says: “The people prefer war to an apology，thinking that Spain will suffer the least thereby，as war would be exceedingly disastrous to the large commerce of the United States.” STEAMER SUNK.

Warner and wife at San Bernardino a year ago, and Mrs. Warner applied to the courts for support for herself and child. Her husband is an engineer on the Santa Fe, and had evidently some cause for his neglect which was not stated at the time, except that he did not put quite as much trust and faith in her as is usually the case. As he had no defense ready, the court allowed her the custody of the child and ordered the husband to pay her $40 a month for her support. This money he has been paying for a year or more, but in the meantime he placed detectives on the track to see what use she made of her time and his money. One of the police force, when on night duty, kept an eye out for the husband’s interests and discovered many things, which he duly reported, at the same time nearly losing his own position from reports to headquarters by those he caught in close proximity to the suspected grounds. Papers were filed last week in a case brought by the husband to have the previous judgment against him annulled and the child taken from the wife and given to his care. While Cables received at the State Department at Washington from Ambassador White say that the Consul at Hamburg reports that 2700 packages of fruit arriving by the steamship Patria, 81 cases of California Pearmain apples were stopped, others being admitted freely. Of 1400 packages received by the steamship Pennsylvania, and 2200 by the Lahm from Bremen up to the 10th inst., only two small lots of California Pearmain and Sonoma apples have been stopped, although the examination of the 4000 packages has not yet been furnished. No charges have as yet been made for the examination. Only one more steamer, carrying about 900 packages, is due before the close of the season. Some trouble existed in the domestic circle of R.T.

Admiral Manterola has ordered that boats of all kinds should go to the assistance of the Maine and her wounded. The Havana firemen are giving aid tending carefully to the wounded as they are brought ashore. It is a terrible sight. Gen. Zolano and the other generals have orders from Capt.Gen.Blanco to take steps to help the Maine crew in every way possible. The correspondent of the Associated Press has been near the Maine in one of the boats of the cruiser Alfonso XIII and seen others of the wounded who corroborate the statement of those first interviewed that they were asleep when the explosion occurred. Capt.Sigbee says the explosion occurred in the bow of the vessel. He received a wound in the head. Orders were given to the officers to save themselves as best they could. The latter, who were literally thrown from their bunks in their night clothing, gave the necessary orders with great self-control. At 1:15 o’clock the Maine continues burning. The first theory was that there had been a preliminary explosion in the Santa Barbara (magazine) of powder or dynamite below the water. Admiral Manterola believes that the first explosion was of a grenade that was hurled over the navy-yard. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Paymaster Charles W. Littlefield, who is given in the list of officers on the Maine, has recently been replaced by Paymaster Ryan. Littlefield is now in Washington.

While watching the place, Warner saw a man go into the house, and after waiting in hour or more, till he thought he would have convincing testimony, he with a friend, burst open the doors and found his wife, with her visitor, filling up on whiskey, which, while it was not exactly the testimony he expected, he thought would be sufficient, in connection with other testimony obtained, to make out a good case, hence the suit. When it comes to trial, if the wife makes a fight, it is said the testimony will take a wide scope, and bring in many visits to the wife at unseemly hours from gentleman friends, causing quite a sensation in the quiet town.

Littlefield, who is given in the list of officers on the Maine, has recently been replaced by Paymaster Ryan. Littlefield is now in Washington. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—In conversation with a correspondent of the Herald last night, one of the cabinet minister said: "You may say openly, as coming from Senor Sagasta and from each of us, that we entirely condemn in the most absolute manner Senor De Lome's letter. We are ashamed, grieved and sorry thereat. The ministers feel more aggrieved than President McKinley can possibly be. We are honest men, who have been placed in a false position by a fool." In reply to further questions, the minister said: "Canalejas' journey was absolutely private, and in no way possible did we trust or use him." The Washington correspondent of the Herald says that the announcement from Madrid that the Spanish ministry had decided to reply in a fitting manner to Minister Woodford's representations in regard to the De Lome letter is highly satisfactory to administration officials. No one is more pleased over the matter than the president. He has never doubted from the first that Spain would repudiate the action of its minister. His only concern has been that the delay in closing the incident might lead to some outburst in congress which would cause embarrassment to the administration before the Spanish government had had an opportunity to make a satisfactory response. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—A special from Washington says: A cable dispatch received by the Secretary of State Minister Woodford at Madrid announced that the government of Spain has disavowed the letter of Dupuy de Lome to Senor Canalejas. The "Disclaimer," as the administration officials are pleased to call it, is regarded as satisfactory and complete, and the President has authorized the announcement that the incident is closed. NEW YORK, Feb. 14—Startling news comes to-day of threatened trouble between Spain and the United States. The situation is extremely critical. Minister Woodford at Madrid, according to special cable dispatches presented a note to the Spanish government asking for a disavowal of the statements SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 15.—No further news has been received concerning the reported loss of the steamer Clara Nevada, in Alaskan waters. Owing to the many conflicting rumors, hopes for her safety have not yet been abandoned. On account of the remoteness of the scene of the reported disaster, it is impossible to get anything authentic. Unless some unexpected steamer shall arrive, no definite news is expected before Thursday. The last report received was that brought down by the steamer Excelsior, which arrived early this morning. Capt. Donaldson said that just before he left Juneau the steamer Coleman arrived and reported that wreckage and bedding marked "Hassler" had been washed ashore at Seward. He said: "The Clara Nevada was formerly a government vessel, known as the Hassler, and I have no doubt but that she is at the bottom of the sea, at least such of her and her effects as were not burned, for the Seward citizens report having seen a blaze on the water." The Excelsior arrived at Juneau five hours after the steamer Rosalie, which reported passing the Clara Nevada. A desperate duel was fought with knives and pistols between George Vogt and Arthur B. Waldron on Monday, at Louisville, Ky. Fred Vogt, the son of George Vogt, was also drawn into the encounter. As a result Waldron is lying at the city hospital in a precarious condition and is not expected to live. Fred Vogt is at the Geary-street infirmary, wounded, and George Vogt is in jail, charged with malicious shooting. The primary cause of the trouble was a murder case tried in the Jefferson county court about eight years ago. The elder Vogt was up charged with murder and the father of Arthur Waldron was one of the principal witnesses for the State. In consequence a bitter hatred has always existed between the two families.

MORMONS MEAN WAR. Startling Statement of a Salt Lake Clergyman. Boston, Feb. 15.—Rev. Charles R. Bliss, financial agent of the Salt Lake College, Utah, delivered at the Boston Congregational Ministers' meeting a startling address in which he said the Mormons mean war. He said: "The present extended missionary movement of the Mormon church, embracing it is said, no less than 1400 missionaries at work in this country, is a challenge to Christian churches to examine the fundamental doctrines by the force of which the church proposes to overturn the Christianity of the age. They are as follows: 'Our Lord is Adam;' The Universe is governed by a quorum of God's probably polygamous;' 'The Holy Ghost is a Fluid;' 'Salvation is by a Priesthood;' 'Joseph H. Smith was a prophet of God, and disobedience to him is a damning sin;' 'Polygamy is of divine origin and binding force;' all Christian churches since apostolic times are apostates from the truth and teachers of false doctrines, and should be subverted.' "On the basis of these doctrines it proposes not only to establish a theocracy in Utah, by which all the civil affairs of the State shall be governed, but also to destroy all Christian churches. It ought not to astonish anyone that the manifesto of 1890, professing to suspend polygamy, has not done so. The mask is falling off."
