The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... MARCH 30, 1899 BETWEEN Engineer Byers and Engineer Schneider, the city's employees at the power-house, an acute feeling of enmity has for some time past existed; especially on the part of the latter toward the former, who is the electrical engineer in charge of the works. The City Fathers appointed a committee to investigate the cases of the insurgent engineers, and after the expenditure of considerable time and thought upon the subject drafted a set of rules (which will be found in our local columns) giving the control of the electrical machinery into the hands of one engineer, and the water works into the hands of the other—making each his own boss in their respective duties. What a private concern would have done under similar circumstances, it does not take very long to discern—it would discharge the employee who was the cause of the trouble; and perhaps the City Trustees might profit by consulting with themselves individually and ascertain what they would do if they were dealing with employees of their own establishments. The city's property is far too valuable to be in keeping of men among whom this acute feeling of dislike exists. Affairs at the power-house, we opine, will not settle down to a satisfactory basis until the whole works are turned over into the control of a competent engineer, who may have the hiring of his own assistants. Rules that are made and unmade for the benefit of this or that employee never work well in the long run. Under the new state of affairs one engineer may absent himself from the power-house after 9 o'clock each evening for a period of two weeks, but he must remain within call in case of necessity; then the other engineer gets one week off, leaving the power-house at 9 in the evening; and so on. During the absence of one, the entire works will be in charge of the other. We question whether this new arrangement will be calculated to get the best work out of the city's employees, or whether the city's extensive electric dants to the suit, and that unless restrained the defendants would divert a portion of the waters to these new stockholders and plaintiffs be deprived of a portion of the water necessary for irrigating their lands. When the case came into court a motion to strike out portions of the complaint was granted and a demurrer to the complaint sustained; the plaintiffs refusing to amend, the defendants obtained judgment. BILLY RENNER, U. S. A. Off to Iloilo in Uncle Sam's Regular Army. Writes an Interesting Letter Home from Honolulu—Attends the Funeral of the Princess, and Witnesses the Most Imposing Spectacle he ever saw in his Life—Throws Nickles at the Natives in Honolulu Bay, and Sees Them Dive for Them—Bananas Five Cents a Dozen—Tropical Luxuriance of the Hawaiian Town—Assigned to Service in the Eighteenth Infantry. William Renner has written a letter home from Honolulu, where he arrived on March 14, with a detachment of United States troops assigned to service in the Philippines. Billy goes to Iloilo. He served in the Seventh regiment, U. S. Volunteers, reinstilled in the regular army Feb. 10, 1899, in Los Angeles, and has been assigned to service in the Eighteenth Infantry, now doing service in Iloilo. We are indebted to Billy's brother Oscar for the following extracts from his letter: HONOLULU, H. L., March 14, '99. Dear Folks at Home—We left San Francisco on Thursday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, March 2d, and as we got out on the ocean the soldiers began to get sick. I was sick only one day; then I was all right again, and had an appetite like a steer. There are 95 men and nine officers on board, assigned to the different regiments, and so far we have been treated like kings, with nothing at all to do but to go to bed and get up when you want to. We have fine state rooms with electric lights, curtains and carpets. There are four men in each room. We have breakfast at 7, dinner at 12 and supper at 5 o'clock. We eat in the dining-room, silver knives and forks and white table clothes. We are fed in good style, having cooks and waiters REAL ESTATE TRANSITION For The Week Ending March 27, Furnished by the Orange County Taxpany, Santa Ana.

P Under the new state of affairs one engineer may absent himself from the power-house after 9 o'clock each evening for a period of two weeks, but he must remain within call in case of necessity; then the other engineer gets one week off, leaving the power-house at 9 in the evening; and so on. During the absence of one, the entire works will be in charge of the other. We question whether this new arrangement will be calculated to get the best work out of the city's employees, or whether the city's extensive electric light and water works, each running interdependently with the other, can give the most efficient service with one engineer at work upon one branch of the machinery, and the other upon the other. Let one competent engineer be placed in charge of the works, and this constant recurring friction among employees would be a thing of the past, the city would get better service, and its property be in safer keeping. Around Mr. Neff's seventy-acre orchard tract south of town there runs a beautiful stream of 125 inches of water that is pumped from his two deep wells situated in the northeast corner of his property. Mr. Neff has just erected a fifty horse-power engine and boiler, over which he has constructed a corrugated iron house 26x32 feet, with a pump annex 10x12, and has in all respects one of the most efficient pumping plants in the valley. He uses a vertical centrifugal pump, and when in operation the water gushes from the mouth of a ten-inch pipe very like an artesian well projecting its stream of water from the bowels of the earth. He has two deep wells, each 100 feet in depth, and his pump is placed in the well pit 28 feet below the surface. Mr. Neff is an adept at handling machinery, and has secured the best makes of engine, boiler and pump. The engine comes from Indianapolis, the boiler from Erie, and the pump from San Francisco. He starts up at 6:30 in the morning, gets the water down in the orchard at 7, closes down at 5:30 in the afternoon, and the water is out of the ditches at 6. He burns oil and coal, and the 50-foot smokestack surmounting the boiler-house, emitting its smoke lazily, is a conspicuous object in the landscape. Mr. Neff has been irrigating his apricot and peach trees the past week. He gives them the water when the trees leaf out, or just before. He will irrigate his apricots again in May and again in July, after the crop has been taken off. The walnuts will be irrigated again the latter part of June and again the middle of August. A FARMERS' INSTITUTE will be held at Villa Park tomorrow and Saturday, March 31 and April 1, which will be attended by Prof. Wickson of Berkeley, Prof. Sprague of Los Angeles, Prof. A. J. Cook of Claremont, and other eminent personages in the realm of horticulture. T. S. Van Dyke of Los Angeles will read a paper on Water Development, and C. C. Chapman of Placentia Francisco on Thursday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, March 2d, and as we got out on the ocean the soldiers began to get sick. I was sick only one day; then I was all right again, and had an appetite like a steer. There are 96 men and nine officers on board, assigned to the different regiments, and so far we have been treated like kings, with nothing at all to do but to go to bed and get up when you want to. We have fine state rooms with electric lights, curtains and carpets. There are four men in each room. We have breakfast at 7, dinner at 12 and supper at 5 o'clock. We eat in the dining-room, silver knives and forks and white table clothes. We are fed in good style, having cooks and waiters aboard. We get good meat three times a day and pudding for every dinner, and on Sunday for dinner we have a piece of pie and an apple for desert. In short, our treatment is everything we can wish for. Things are done more systematically, and I have better clothes here in the regulars than I had when I was a volunteer in the lamented Seventh. We had a very pleasant voyage, taking it altogether. The weather was fine and the sea smooth, except about the eighth day out the water was rough and the waves dashed on deck, but the rest of the voyage was nice. We didn't see anything particular only sharks and flying fish. The steamer we are on is the Portland. She is a wooden boat, rather small and rocks pretty much. We landed here on Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock, the 12th of March. So you see we were on the water about ten days, and I tell you we were glad to see land, as we hadn't seen land or even a vessel since starting. When we landed we were let off the boat after dinner. We get three meal tickets every morning from the captain, on a restaurant up-town; then we get off all day till six o'clock for roll call, then we are off until 11. So you see we have rather a good time. They feed us up-town because they are coaling the boat and everything is dirty. We went to the Princess' funeral on Sunday afternoon, and it was the grandest sight I ever saw. I would not have missed it for a great deal. Many bands and nearly all the natives turned out. The hearse was drawn by over two hundred natives with a white and black rope. A number of societies and thousands of natives were in the procession. Sunday evening some of us went to the Union Central church. It was filled with American and English people. It is a very fine large church built of stone and cost over a million dollars. They have the grandest pipe organ I ever saw. There are quite a number of churches here and they also have a Salvation Army. The town is run mostly by Chinese and Japs, and a poor white man stands but little show here. This is really a beautiful place and some of the residences are of the finest. Just think, take a little walk and you see acres and acres of banana trees, all bearing; also cocoanut just getting ripe. It is a sight worth seeing. Nearly every house has a fine lawn and beautiful shade trees. We saw the palace and took in all the sights. Talk about Golden Gate park being nice! Here you can see prettier places by just walking down the street. They have street cars here drawn by mules and horses to all the business parts of the city, and a railroad that runs along the coast about fifty miles. There are a good many Englishmen and Americans here. The natives are nearly as black as negroes, but the higher class is lighter color and very good looking as a general rule.

An interesting program has been prepared, and doubtless the meetings will be well attended. In the case of A. McDermott et al., appellants, versus the Anaheim Union Water Company et al., respondents, the Supreme Court has reversed the finding of the Superior Court of this county. The plaintiffs were stockholders in the corporation defendant, and they brought action to enjoin the defendants from disposing of any of the water of such defendant to any other than bona fide stockholders in said corporation. The Anaheim Union Water Company et al., was formed for the purpose of supplying water for hydraulic irrigation and domestic uses to its stockholders and within the limits of a certain 12,000 acres of land in this county. It was not organized for the purpose of profit or for the purpose of distributing dividends to its stockholders, but solely for the purpose of owning and controlling water in ditches and reservoirs, the sole beneficial use of such water being vested in the stockholders. In November, 1896, the directors of the corporation adopted resolutions to amend the articles of incorporation so as to increase the land to which it should supply water to 13,055 acres by including 1055 acres contiguous to the original 12,000 acres. The plaintiffs contended that these amended articles had never been approved or adopted by the vote or consent of stockholders representing two-thirds of the capital stock; that a new issue of 370 shares had followed the amendment and had been sold to parties also made defen- It never disappoints.

IRRIGATION DISTRICTS Every District in the State is in Trouble—Co-operative Water Companies Recommended. From the San Diegan-Sun, March 17. George H. Maxwell, the well-known irrigation attorney and generally consoidered the best authority on irrigation matters in the State, is at the Brewster with his wife and two children, for few days. Mr. Maxwell is here as attorney for associations of land owner in the Escondido and Jamacha irrigation districts, which are seeking to have the bonded indebtedness invalidated and the districts knocked out. “What is the status of the irrigation district problem in California?” was the query of the Sun man as he met Mr. Maxwell. “Not in California alone, but in every other State where irrigation districts have been organized, the situation is just as bad as it can well be,” replied Mr. Maxwell. “The difficulty is organic. The trouble is so deep it cannot be patched up. The districts must go, that’s all.” “Does it mean loss of the bonds?” “Not necessarily so,” said Mr. Maxwell, “that is in districts where there is actually a water system and where irrigation is being carried on. There have been about 55 irrigation districts organized in California, and a number in Washington, Nebraska and other States. Of all these one is either abandoned, disorganized or in litigation up to its eyes. The reputation of irrigation districts is so bad that no sensible person will purchase any real estate in one. What is the great trouble with them? Well, in the first place, it puts the control of the water system into the hands of men who frequently have no landed interest in the district and who do not suffer if things go wrong. “What is the solution? Complete reorganization upon co-operative lines, which time many documents were examined and the guns which had been brought to this country were inspected. From the documents submitted it is shown that the number of guns in the custody of the War Department is as follows: At Watervliet arsenal, from Santiago, eighty-two, of which eleven are steel; thirty-one cast iron and forty bronze; at New York arsenal, from Santiago, forty bronze pieces; total in the custody of the army in this country, 121. The report of the Chief of Ordnance of the War Department shows that 26 guns were captured from the land defenses at Santiago on July 14. Those captured in the harbor defenses of Santiago on July 14, were as follows: Morro Castle, 13 pieces (5 mortars and 8 guns); at the battery east of the Moro, 9 pieces; at Moro dock, 5; Estrella battery, 9; lower Socapa battery; 4 upper Socapa battery; 5; Punta Gorda, 4; Punta Blanca, 40. From the cruiser Reina Mercedes, one piece was taken, and from the Santiago arsenal, twenty-two. There was brought from Baracoa one piece, and from Guantanamo, two pieces, making a total of 141 guns, leaving nineteen not yet brought to this country. The captured guns in possession of the Navy Department number fifty-six. Of these seven are at the New York navy yard, of which four were taken from the Reina Mercedes, one from the Quendo, and two from the Cayo del Toro; twenty-four are at the Norfolk navy yard, of which two were taken from the Maria Teresa. At the Boston navy yard are two guns, secured from the gunboat Sandoval, and at the Washington navy yard are twenty-three pieces, of which ten were taken from the Viscaya, ten from the Teresa and three from the Quendo. The board recommends that of the captured guns taken from the Spanish ships and now in the custody of the Navy Department—four from the Quendo, four from the Teresa, and two from the Viscaya—be delivered to the War Department; that the eight cannon captured at Morro Castle, now in the possession of the War Department, be delivered to the navy; that D.

To talk British-American gathering and getaway intact is something of a feat,但ex-Congressman Thomas Fitch,一项the best-known orators of thePacificcoast,did it on Friday night at thedinner of the Friendly Sons of St.Patrickheld at Delmonico's,and did more,对he not only got away intact,但hisremarks were cheered.Mr.Fitchfirstgot his audience good-humored bytellinga number of new stories;then heroused their patriotism by a really eloquent tribute to the men who wonthe war,and finally he sprung the Anglo-Saxon brotherhood on thecompanywith some suddenness and carried itthrough triumphantly.After speakingof some of the war's results he said: "We have made,and Ireland hasmade,and the world has made anothergreat gain from this war in the developmentwhich the English peoplehave exhibited along the lines of fraternityfor freedom and justice。它不是for me to criticise any utterances of hatredof England which a review of her action toward Ireland in years gone may havewrung from the lips of any speaker tonight,但I am an American,and thetoast to which I respond is 'TheUnitedStates,'and you,hons of St.Patrick,你 also are Americans,whosedevotion to your adopted country no manmay question.Shall I then transgressthe proprieties of the occasion if I saythat while in years gone I have helpedto twist the tail of the British lion,它deserved to be twisted for hisaction concerning Ireland,yet I cannot forgetthat in the hour of our peril,当France sneered and Russia stood aloftand Germany sowled和 Austria almostmenaced,and we stood in great dangerof an alliance of the greatpowersof continental Europe against us,them from Ireland,从 Scotland,从Wales,从England the greatheartof the people welled in sympathy toward us.[Applause.] Then theBritishGovernment robed itself in theermineofthe High Chancellor of Nationsandoutstretched the strong right armof itsinjunctive power and said to thewaiting conspirators,"We forbidyou to give aid to the dying despotism in its contest with the United States.Webid you take instant heed of our Tested ReceiptFor German coffee breadevening a sponge of onequarter milk,三 pints of flour andtaupeup of good yeast (onewell soaked may be used).Inadd add three-quartersof a good,sweet lard,一 cuppufted two eggs,一四-fourthof a nut ed,a tablespoon of salt,oneraisins,stoned,and sufficiensmake as stiff as bread doughenough to handle lightly。Inorously for fifteen minutesan until perfectly light。Thenanin thick thick;lay it in longWhipped Cream.-Loverscream—and they are manyjolice in the statement thatous froth is more easily digestedis plain cream.So let thereped cream for the strawberrychocolate and the puddingped cream will cover,somultitude of sins。Strawberries are small and in appearancein inferior,can be served advanciatlarge bowl with an sweetened whipped creamuPotato Chowder.-Peeladdozen medium-sized potaleaspoonful of butter hot water in a stewpan,andwhen boiling hot add the potcook slowly for half an hour pint of milk,let it just comod more seasoning if thicken slightly,and serve itA little pulverized,drizzler或celery seed,或both,the chowder if added a fewmfore serving.

CAPTURED SPANISH GUNS. Cuban Artillery Good for Nothing More Than Trophiles. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 28—The report of the trophy board appointed to determine the distribution to be made of the captured guns which have become the property of the United States as a result of the war with Spain was today approved by the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy. Capt. Dickens representing the navy, and Maj. Hopkins, representing the army, have spent nearly four months in consideration of the subject, during it deserved to be twisted for his action concerning Ireland, yet I cannot forget that in the hour of our peril, when France sneered and Russia stood aloof and Germany scowled and Austria almost menaced, and we stood in great danger of an alliance of the great powers of continental Europe against us, then from Ireland, from Scotland, from Wales, from England the great heart of the people welled in sympathy toward us.[Applause.] Then the British Government robed itself in the errime of the High Chancellor of Nations and outstretched the strong right arm of its injunctive power and said to the waiting conspirators, 'We forbid you to give aid to the dying despotism of Spain in its contest with the United States. We bid you take instant heed of our injunction, for if you ally yourselves against the Americans we will ally ourselves with them and "Wherever we come, we twain. The throne of the tyrant shall reel and rock. And his menace be void and vain. For ye are lords of a strong young land. And we are lords of the main. [Ethusianic and long-continued cheers.] "Believe me, that one of the best results of the late war is the cementing of ties between all branches of the English-speaking race. Believe me, that the avowed sentiment of enthusiasm for justice and liberty which was strong enough to reach across the Atlantic will soon be strong enough to reach across the Irish Channel.[Applause.] The hope of the Irish people for justice, for home rule, for autonomy will not be found in seeking to blow into active life the embers of the fires of hatred that had best be covered with the ashes of time, but it will be found in the aroused sense of justice and of love of liberty of the English people, and from that source shall come right speedily to Ireland a redress of every grievance, a righting of every wrong, a completeness of local rule and a concession of every right and every privilege that Ireland may ask."

Any one who has visited Canada realizes the difference between Yankee hustling and the easy going way they do things up there. "I should love to go visiting in Canada," says a tired wanderer, "if the people there ever went to bed." "They never go to bed, and they never get up," commented a Hibernian who had been there. Something must be wrong with the old axiom of how to be healthy, wealthy and wise, for the first at least these Canadians are, and they rarely go to bed much before midnight, nor breakfast much before 9 o'clock. It is an old country custom handed down and comfortably enjoyed. The 9:30 p.m. bedtime of American domesticity is there unknown, and the 7:30 breakfast belongs solely to the lowest laboring class. Election Notice. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim will be held in the City Hall, in Anaheim, on Monday, April 18th, 1899 at 2 o'clock p.m. for the purpose of electing Directors for the ensuing year, and to consider the following amendments to the By-laws: First—Privilege of withdrawal from the association. Second—Transfer of certificates of stock. Third—Amount of stock each member shall own. Fourth—Agreement to deliver the entire crop to the association. Fifth—Privilege of members to dry and pack their own deciduous fruit. A full attendance is desired. mar30-2t GEO.E. BOYD, Secretary. Strayed Horse.

Owner can have same by proving property and paying costs. the desired knowledge, and their task in mastering the rules is rendered all the more difficult by the curious fact that many of these regulations are unwritten. Some will be found in the standing orders, or permanent rules; but those that deal with etiquette and decorum have not been officially recorded anywhere, save in a few quaint and obsolete regulations to be found in the old issues of the journals of the house or in the minutes of proceedings taken by the clerk and published daily during the session. For instance, a strange rule for the guidance of the speaker is set down under the 15th of February, 1620, "The speaker not to move his hat until the third congee." Propriety of carriage in leaving the chamber is thus enforced, "Those who go out of the house in a confused manner before the speaker to forfeit 10 shillings." This rule is dated the 12th of November, 1640. Again we find that on the 23d of March, 1698, it was ordered, "No member to take tobacco into the gallery or to the table sitting at committees."—Nineteenth Century. Entertaining the Copper. It was a bitter cold night, and a night policeman in Lombard street noticed a light in the bank window, and going to the door, rapped. "Is that you, policeman?" asked a voice from within. "Yes," was the reply. "Come in and have a drink," said the voice. The policeman stepped inside and encountered a dapper little fellow sitting at a desk. "I've been detained tonight straightening up accounts." The policeman warmed himself at the rousing fire that blazed on the hearth and went out again on his beat. An hour after the policeman came that way and, still seeing the light through the window, rapped again. "Is that you, policeman?" "Yes." "Come in and warm yourself." The policeman accepted the invitation. "It's a howling cold night," said the clerk. "You're right, sir," said the policeman. So he got another drink and returned to his beat. He was rather surprised next day to find that his friend of the night before had got off with some $50,-000 of the bank's funds.—London Success. Something must be wrong with the old axiom of how to be healthy, wealthy and wise, for the first at least these Canadians are, and they rarely go to bed much before midnight, nor breakfast much before 9 o'clock. It is an old country custom handed down and comfortably enjoyed. The 9:80 p.m. bed-time of American domesticity is there unknown, and the 7:80 breakfast belongs solely to the lowest laboring classes. "Oh, yes, I feel splendid this morning. I got to bed early and had a good sleep," said a young man, who had been complaining of weariness and lack of rest. "What time did you retire?" asked the inquisitive American. "Oh, real early," was the reply. "Soon after the clock had struck 12."—Troy Times. Famous Warhorses. Horses in war suffer more fatalities than men. Out of the many thousands who perish in their duty toward their masters only few return home to spend their lives in the ease and honor they deserve. One warhorse, however, which made a splendid record for himself and now has his virtues, name and noble deeds engraved on a fitting tombstone was Copenhagen, the horse the great Duke of Wellington rode at the battle of Waterloo. Nine years after the Emperor Napoleon died at St. Helena an old white horse perished of old age and pneumonia in England. The skeleton of the animal is set up in the Royal Service institution, and to all visitors it is pointed out as Marengo, the charger Napoleon rode at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo came originally from Egypt and was left to wander on the dismal battlefield when the emperor was forced to fly for his life. An English officer found and took him, and he was sold to a general in the British army. In English pastures, cared for by kindly grooms, this noble horse passed the latter years of his life far more peacefully and happily than his great and unfortunate master.—London Mail. Good Impulses. A man should allow none but good impulses to stir his heart, and he should keep it free from any evil that may beat it down and harden it.—Rev. J. D. Hammond. Strayed Horse.
