The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... APRIL 21, 1898 THE resolution introduced into the water board by Director Browning at Saturday's meeting, providing for the construction of a reservoir on the Anaheim ditch, to do away with the necessity for night irrigation, and provide at the same time for greater revenues for the company, is something that should engage the serious attention of every well-wisher of the community. Mr. Browning showed by figures submitted that the loss to the company during the months of May, June, July and August last by virtue of the non-existence of the reservoir was no less than $1725—the loss being sustained by the lower price realized for night water, while if the reservoir had been constructed day irrigation would obtain, with its resultant higher price for water. This saving during these four months alone would pay interest, at 6 per cent., on $28,750, which will pay for the construction of the reservoir. The resolution has been taken under advisement for a fortnight, and we hope it will be acted upon intelligently by the board at that time. Our irrigating system possesses two natural and very advantageous reservoir sites, which are known as the La Habra and Yorba reservoir sites. The former being for the supply of the Placentia and Fullerton ditches, which are already fed by the Tuliffe reservoir, attention may for the present be directed toward the latter, which may be called upon one day to supply the Anaheim ditch. According to the estimate of Engineer Schuyler, made some years ago, the cost of the Yorba reservoir was placed at $27,500. This reservoir would require a dam 45 feet high. 700 feet in length along the top, 575 feet at the water line and about 300 feet long at the base. The reservoir would have a capacity of 51,000,000 cubic feet, and would flood an area of 51 acres when full. It would serve an admirable purpose in supplementing the supply of the distributing system of the lower canal, as well as in the storage of night water for the upper largely attended meeting of the Anaheim Farmers' Club held at the residence of A. H. Cargill, at Brookshurst, on Monday. In response to an invitation from the Anaheim Club, the members of the newly organized Farmers' Club of Fullerton and Placentia were largely represented. Pomology and the various details connected with its successful development were discussed at length, and the prospects of the proposed cannery at Anaheim were regarded in a most favorable light. Verily the ways of the rural correspondent, as well as those of the enterprising paper dependent upon another for news, are past finding out.

According to the estimate of Engineer Schuyler, made some years ago, the cost of the Yorba reservoir was placed at $27,500. This reservoir would require a dam 45 feet high. 700 feet in length along the top, 575 feet at the water line and about 300 feet long at the base. The reservoir would have a capacity of 51,000,000 cubic feet, and would flood an area of 51 acres when full. It would serve an admirable purpose in supplementing the supply of the distributing system of the lower canal, as well as in the storage of night water for the upper and middle portions of the district. Taking the combined capacity of these two reservoirs (the La Habra and Yorba) at 169,000,000 cubic feet, and assuming that they would be filled by the first of April of each year, and that they would be drawn upon only during the period of scarcity in July, August and September, computations have shown that the loss by evaporation during the period of the exposure of the water to such action would amount to 21,400,000 cubic feet, or 12 per cent of the whole. The remaining volume would be sufficient to furnish 19 irrigating heads of 100 miners' inches during daylight hours through July, August and September, in addition to the usual flow of the ditches from the river. Those who are accustomed to irrigate can appreciate what an enormous advantage this auxiliary supply, applied precisely when most needed, would be, particularly when we consider that this amount may be thrown upon our lands during 40 or 60 days if need be to tide over any critical time that can occur to any extent up to the utmost capacity of our distributing ditches. This constitutes the chief value of the reservoir system. The idea of the increased revenue to the company from the construction of the reservoir is original, we believe, with Mr. Browning; at any rate we have not heard its advantages so fully portrayed by any one until his report upon the subject at Saturday's meeting. The idea is an excellent one, and we hope the board may be able to see its way clear to the construction of the reservoir. The Orange News prints the ridiculous statement that dissensions have arisen in the Directorate of the Orange County Preserving Company, threatening the continuance of the enterprise. The statement is as untruthful and uncalled for, as it is indubitably ungenerous and unkind. Give your authority for the statement, Mr. News, or retract it like a man. There is not a word of truth in it; on the contrary the enterprise is getting along under most favorable auspices, and there has not been one word of dissension among the Directors—the statement is too stupidly false to admit of a moment's consideration. We are surprised at the News. The appointment of H. Z. Osborne of Los Angeles to the United States Marshalship is one that will give satisfaction to his many friends in Orange county. Mr. Osborne has been a faithful householder in the field of Republicanism. The W. C. T.

Z. Osborne of Los Angeles to the United States Marshalship is one that will give satisfaction to his many friends in Orange county. Mr. Osborne has been a faithful laborer in the field of Republicanism for years, both through the medium of his paper, the Los Angeles Express, and also in the councils of his party. His endorsement for the position was practically unanimous on the part of the leading Republicans throughout the state, and the appointment has been a foregone conclusion for some time. That coming events cast their shadows before, may be inferred from the following reference to next Monday's meeting of the Farmers' Club at Brookshurst, which we find in the Anaheim items in the Los Angeles Herald of Tuesday: The most enjoyable meeting of the Anaheim Farmers' club held for a long time came off at the Brookshurst company’s ranch Monday. At the request of the Anaheim club, they were joined by the Fullerton and Placentia Farmers’ clubs and several hours were pleasantly spent in social intercourse. The topics of discussion were the Orange County Fruit Preserving company, the buildings for which will soon be commenced in Anaheim, the prospects of the fruit crop and kindred subjects came in for a share of attention. There was a large attendance. Inasmuch as the meeting will be held on Monday next, the 25th, the imaginative correspondent must be regarded as being a little premature. But there will doubtless be a “great” time at the meeting, all the same, and one of the topics of discussion may be the gifted imagination of the Herald reporter. The Evening Express, always echoing the Herald is matters of outside correspondence, if not “lifting” it bodily into its own forms, toddles along on Tuesday evening with this rehash of the Herald item, dated Anaheim, April 18: There was a most interesting and BUENA PARK. The W. C. T.

WASHINGTON, April 19, 3 a.m.-Cuban resolutions adopted by both houses of Congress at an early hour this morning read as follows: Joint resolution for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect. Whereas, Theborrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba, so near our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States, have been a disgrace to Christian civilization, culminating as they have in the destruction of a United States battleship and 266 of its officers and crew, while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President of the United States in his message to Congress of April 11, 1898, upon which the action of Congress was invited; therefore, Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled—First—That the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be free and independent. Second—That it is the duty of the United States to demand, and the government does hereby demand, that the government of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third—That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby directed and empowered to use the entire land and naval forces of the United States and to call into actual service of the United States the militia of the several States to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect. Fourth—That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty,jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people. WASHINGTON, April 19,-Spain will not receive official notice of the demands of the United States before tomorrow. She will then be informed that the Cuban resolution passed by Congress at an early hour this morning is now a part of the laws of the United States, and an ultimatum will be sent in compliance with this law and while there are differing views, they are expected to crystallize into an authorization to call out the numbers stated. The bill drawn up by the War Department for introduction by Representative Hull, chairman of the Military Committee, authorizes the President to call for something like 60,000 volunteers, to be drawn through the various states. While this method obviates the legal technicalities involved in the services of state militia organizations, it is likely the volunteers thus obtained through quotas furnished by the respective State and Territorial Governors, will come from within State militia ranks. The plan of the Committee on Military to effectually put a large number of the militia at the disposal of the President is being formulated. Some think 100,000 excessive, but Chairman Marsh and others regard the figures as conservative, in view of the fact that the resolutions evidently mean war. The President, as now suggested by Representative Marsh, can call out the militia at any time, and Congress follow up the Executive action by legislative enactment, providing for the President mustering them into the United States service. At the same time the Army Reorganization Bill recently recommitted by the House is being carefully pruned in the Military Affairs Committee to meet objections. It is proposed to extend the army reorganization to the three-battalion war formation, and to increase the batteries of artillery to 200 men each. This measure, it is claimed, may bring about 5,000 more men into the regular service, to be added to the present 27,000 regular troops. MISSOURIANS MEET IN AFRICA. One was Capt.

The Utter Failure of the Alaska Reindeer Expedition. Washington, April 19.-The complete failure of the Alaskan reindeer expedition was announced to the war department in a telegram from General Larrimar, commanding the military department of the Columbia. Dr.Shelley Jackson, at Dyes, telegraphs they be a failure in Alaska for want of walnut disease. Fourth-That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to leave the government and control of the island to its people. WASHINGTON, April 19.-Spain will not receive official notice of the demands of the United States before tomorrow. She will then be informed that the Cuban resolution passed by Congress at an early hour this morning is now a part of the laws of the United States, and an ultimatum will be sent in compliance with this law and an answer within a very short time, probably twenty-four hours, is expected. Compliance is not expected, and a forward movement on Cuba will commence the latter part of this week, according to the plans of the administration. Two Cabinet meetings were held during the day, the first beginning at 11 o'clock and lasting nearly two hours. and the second lasting from 3 o'clock until 5:30 o'clock. At the close of the latter the announcement that the executive action was delayed until to-morrow was made. Both Cabinet sessions were devoted principally to discussion of the ultimatum to be sent to Madrid. At the morning session the President rather favored allowing the Madrid government two or three days in which to reply to our demands, but since that time he has changed his views somewhat, and it is now believed to be his purpose to require an answer within a very short time, probably twenty-four hours. The reason for limiting the time to one day, or even less, is said to be entirely strategic, otherwise two or even three days would have been allowed. The ultimatum itself it is believed will be short and to the point. It will recite the main features of the resolutions passed by Congress and demand a compliance therewith. The ultimatum probably will not be made public here until notice is received that it is in the hands of the Spanish government, diplomatic etiquette requiring this. NEW York, April 20.-A Rome special says: Capt.Alfred T.Mahan said to me to-night: "The American navy is as prepared for war now as any navy in the world, and its officers and men are as efficient as any similar body on earth. There is not the slightest reason to doubt that in case of war the result would be speedy and thorough, as the Spanish navy will find to its cost." COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 19.-The Seventeenth Regiment, U.S.A., composed of 528 officers and enlisted men, left Columbus for Tampa at 5:25 p.m. The citizens of Columbus insisted on giving the regulars a "send-off" and Colonel Poland, by request, marched the troops from the post to the union depot over the principal streets. No military organization ever received a greater ovation. The streets for a distance of two miles were so packed with people that there was scarcely room for the regiment to march. The crowd is estimated at 75,000. FORTRESS MONROE,Va.,April 19.-The Massachusetts finished coaling this afternoon and the squadron is now ready for sea. Under the direction of the chief engineer of the squadron all the ships have been provided with extra parts for engines. It is generally expected by the officers of the flying squadron that the number of ships will be increased within a week if a move is not ordered within that time. The San Francisco MISSOURIANS MEET IN AFRICA. One was Capt.Sebree and the Other a Negro Murderer Returned to Barbarism. Here is a good Missouri story, which possesses not only the merit of being absolutely true, but the additional one of never having appeared in print. Its authenticity is vouchered for by one of the most accurately informed and widely known public men in Missouri: An elder brother of Frank P., Sebree of Kansas City is Capt.Uriel Sebree,a distinguished officer of the United States Navy. The Sebree boys are the sons of the late Judge John Sebree, who in his day was one of the prominent citizens of old Howard County—"the mother of Missouri statesmen." Back in the early seventies Captain Sebree then a lieutenant was coasting with his vessel along Western Africa,and cast anchor one day at a small village for the purpose of taking on a supply of fresh water and vegetables. He soon observed among the natives who were engaged in bringing the supplies on board a negro who spoke the English language very plainly, but who wore the garb and had the appearance of a native.Lieutenant Sebree walked up to him on the deck and said: "I notice you speak the English language; where did you learn it?" In the United States I was born there." Born in the United States—what State?" Missouri,sir." Sebree now became thoroughly interested. What county in Missouri did you come from?" From Howard county,sir.I was born there,near a town called Fayette,"was the reply. When did you leave there?" In 1860,sir." Light began to dawn upon the Lieutenant. He looked at the negro closely,and although many years had passed,hec recognized in the apparently wild barbarian of Africa,the breech-clouted savage,a boy he had known in his childhood.In 1860 an attrocited murder had been perpetrated in Howard county—a murder such as was sometimes,though not often committed in the South before the war-a negro killed his master in cold blood.Search was at once begun for the assassin and every effort made to apprehend him,但 he escaped to Canada,and,the war beginning shortly thereafter.all trace of him became lost.它 all came back to Sebree like a revelation.Here then,mas was recognized by the Lieutenantwho decidedhowevernottoalludetothecrimebutagainedhisquestions.“So you lived near Fayette.Did you know Judge Sebreewho lived there?”It was nowthe negro'sturntobe surprised.“Fo'God,manswhoisyouanyhow?”“I amthelittleboythatyouusedtoplaywith-UrielSebree-dont'yourememberme,Sam?”They sat down on the deck ofthe ship—thepolishedandgentlemanofficeroftheUnitedStatesnavyandthewildandalmostnakedsavage—and talked overthedaysofthejibhood A NEW WOMAN.

The Utter Failure of the Alaska Reindeer Expedition. Washington, April 19.—The complete failure of the Alaskan reindeer expedition was announced to the war department in a telegram from General Sirriam, commanding the military department of the Columbia. Dr. Shelton Jackson, at Dyea, telegraphs they are a failure in Alaska for want of proper forage, and useless for all the exploring expeditions in Alaska. Many are already dead. On the advice of Captain Ray and his own judgment, Jackson recommends the recall of the expedition, adding that Capt. Ray says that the services of Capt. Brainard are no longer required in that connection. The expedition was to proceed Dawson from Dyea over the Dawson trail. How to Look Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a billious look; if your stomach is disordered you have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are affected you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. "Electric Bitters" are good Alternative and Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, notches and boils, and gives a good complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Old at P. A.

M., says: "This morning freight wreck occurred on the Santa Fe ten miles north of here. It was a fast California fruit train, and was running at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. Thirteen cars were spilled all over the prairie. Five cars of oranges and one lemons are a total wreck, but the officials are on the ground with several creaking crews, and all the section men for fifty miles on each side saving what fruit they can. Traffic was delayed about seven hours." Money to Loan. $1500 to loan. Inquire of Mr 7-1m* FRANK EY. FORTRESS MONROE, Va., April 19.—The Massachusetts finished coaling this afternoon and the squadron is now ready for sea. Under the direction of the chief engineer of the squadron all the ships have been provided with extra parts for engines. It is generally expected by the officers of the flying squadron that the number of ships will be increased within a week if a move is not ordered within that time. The San Francisco and New Orleans are the two cruisers which it is believed will come here to join the squadron later on. HONGKONG, April 19.—The warships of the United States squadron are painting their hulls, upper works, smoke stacks, etc., a dark gray, landing their spare goods and otherwise preparing for active service. The revenue cutter Hugh Mc Cullough now belonging to the auxiliary fleet, has arrived here from the United States. KEY WEST, Fla., April 19.—The United States torpedo boat Ericsson, while patrolling about ten miles off Sand Key, in the gulf, about 3 a.m., collided with the station pilot boat. The latter had no lights displayed, and the torpedo boat, which was going at a rapid rate, came upon her without warning. The bowsprit on the pilot struck the Ericsson amidships and knocked over the ventilators and upper works of the torpedo boat. Ensign L. A. Bostwick was struck on the head and badly cut. The bowsprit of the Hero was carried away and she sustained damage on her port side. The injury will not interfere with our usefulness in case orders for active service have been received. Her commander says he is ready to sail at a moment's notice. WASHINGTON, April 19.—Plans now being formulated in Congress involve the placing of about 200,000 soldiers, in round numbers, at the service of the government within a short time after the Cuban resolutions have been approved by the President. This calculation is based on the following figures, covered in plans already in effect or in contemplation, viz.: Standing army, 27,000; by call for volunteers, 60,000; by calling out State militia, 75,000 or 100,000; by Army Reorganization bill, 30,000. Leaving aside the present regular army force, the second and fourth items are practically settled on in committee, while the third, as to State militia, is being actively canvassed, all came back to Sebree like a revelation. Here, then, was the murderer, after all the long years. He was fully recognized by the Lieutenant who decided, however, not to allude to the crime, but again began his questions. "So you lived near Fayette. Did you know Judge Sebree, who lived there?" It was now the negro's turn to be surprised. "Fo' God, man, who is you, anyhow?" "I am little boy that you used to play with-Uriel Sebree—don't you remember me, Sam?" They sat down on the deck of the ship—the polished and gentleman officer of the United States navy and the wild and almost naked savage—and talked over the days of their boyhood in far away Missouri. No allusion was made by either to the tragedy that had caused one to leave his native land and become a barbarian. Old friends were spoken of and the negro made many inquiries about those he had known in his young days. At last, as the sun went down, they parted, the negro going ashore to his hut. He told Lieut. Sebree that he would return the next day and bring with him some presents that he would like to have taken to some of his old friends in Howard county; but he didn't come back, and that was the last seen of him. He evidently had become suspicious and feared being kidnapped and carried back to America to be tried for his crime. The Supreme Court decided on Tuesday that George Ebanks must hang for the murders he committed at the Mussel Beds in San Diego county over two years ago. Ebanks is a mulatto. He was sentenced to be hanged by Judge Torrance, of San Diego county, but a stay of execution was granted, and the case was taken to the Supreme Court on an appeal from the order denying a motion for a new trial. -A new band has been organized at Fullerton by Prof. Crowther, the members being Richard Hetebrink, president; Ramon Corona, vice-president; George Annin, secretary and treasurer; L.

She's up to date and strictly new, And yet she's not afame with seal. She wears no skirt that's sewed in two, She is not skilled to ride a wheel. Her sex's wrongs she does not feel. No public scheme her thoughts pursue, And yet, the fact I can't conceal, She's very new. Her soul's ideals are scant and few, Yet not by man is she controlled, And, though her eyes are deeply blue, No occult force her glances hold. She cares not for the days of old, Nor does the future charm her view. She does not work for fame or gold, And yet she's new. All homage at her shrine is due. Her claim no mortal dares to scorn. She from the infinite takes her one. She's fresh as earth's primeval morn. She faces life with powers unworn, For, now to prove my statements true, It's scarce one moon since she was born. You see, she's new! Marion Couthony Smith in New York Sun. A YOUTHFUL EXEGETE. His Interpretation of the Scriptures Was Not Orthodox. Strange are the workings of the infant mind.

The Sunset line is especially adapted to winter travel, and the limited trains are at present time crowded to their full capacity with an exclusively first-class patronage. It is the most magnificent train in Americas, vestibulated throughout, illuminated with Pintsch gas and heated by steam.

The wife's mother, who makes her home with her daughter, is of the old school, a dear creature, with puffs and caps, who reads her Bible from preference. It is a custom for her to teach her little grandson every day a verse from the Bible, and on Saturday of last week the verse selected was: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." The child had unusual difficulty in committing the verse, but, once mastered, it must have settled deep into the very largest brain cell possessed by the little fellow. Sunday morning the youngster came, fresh, white and starched, from his nurse's hands and was deposited on the front porch until the family assembled for church. Emerging at the last moment, the mother was horrified at the sight of her small offspring seated upon the terrace, digging with all his might into the moist ground. "Baby, baby, come here this minute. Don't you know it is naughty to play on Sunday and get yourself all dirt?" cried the mother. The little fellow looked up with a puzzled air and made answer, "Why, muver, dear, I is digging holes for Sunday." "Digging holes for Sunday? What nonsense! You bad, bad little son," returned the mother, none too gently, trying to rescue the once immaculate suit. "Now, muver, dear, I did learn ve verse from grandma, and it was 'Remember ve Sabbath day to keep it holy,' and I is only digging ve holes for Sunday to make it holy, and I isn't a bad little son at all." There was a suspicious trembling about the mouth, but it is needless to relate that the little philosopher was caught in his mother's arms and kissed before the cry developed and that he was given two plates of dessert for his Sunday dinner, all because of his original theory.—Washington Star.

Seekers after gold know that they may be disappointed, but seekers after health take Hood's Sarsaparilla with utmost confidence that it will do them wonderful good. George Robb, who manages the Hewes olive ranch, near Tustin, is quoted as saying there is a great future for the olive industry in Southern California. There is nothing equal to the old reliable Mission olive; he thinks although many new varieties have been introduced. As high as $110 per ton was paid for olives last season, but from $60 to $80 was realized on the average. Picking costs $20. After trees are five or six years old they should bear from 100 to 200 pounds each, increasing the crop as they grow older. The popularity of the olive has been checked by improper pickling, but that defect will be remedied in time.
