The Supervisors straddled the Bolsa Chica dam at their meeting on Monday. Half a hundred Peatland farmers filled their meeting room, headed by Frank R. Hazard, who told the board that if the dam was not taken out, in two years' time half of the people in the whole country from Santa Ana south to Bolsa Chica bay would be dead of malaria. Mr. Hazard desired the dam taken out, moreover, lock, stock and barrel, as it obstructed a navigable stream, and was, therefore, contrary to the constitution of the State. The lands of the adjacent farmers were being gradually inundated by the rising waters; alkali was rising and the whole country adjacent to the Bolsa Chica bay was gradually being made uninhabitable. Mr. Hazard had rather an imperfect idea of how to get a neck-hold of the subject, and asked that testimony be introduced with a view to finally appealing the case to the Governor. A letter was received from the Governor's executive secretary acknowledging receipt of a communication from the farmers relative to damages sustained by them from the dam. The letter recited that if the dam was found to be a public nuisance, and detrimental to the interests of the farmers, it would be removed. The letter also counseled moderation on the part of the Peatlanders, and advised them against the commission of any overt act in the destruction of the dam. Evidently it had come to the hearing of the Chief Executive (what one could easily hear at Monday's meeting) that an intention prevailed to blow out the dam. "Is there any talk down that way of blowing out the dam?" one of the farmers was asked. The Supervisors wrestled with the subject for two hours, and then adjourned for lunch. At 1:30 the board reconvened, and after an hour's discussion or more, Supervisor Larter offered a motion to the effect that the dam appearing to be a published by dredging, would give a flow of water sufficient to drain the overflowed lands and put an end to the controversy. If, however, all these things did not result in lowering the water sufficiently to do away with the trouble, the club would itself blow out the dam. The club had in view the making of the finest summer and winter health resort in the west, and so far as any damages sustained by the farmers was concerned, the members were abundantly able financially to satisfy all claims against them. J. B. Raine spoke in an intelligent manner relative to the damage caused by reason of the dam interfering with the action of the tides; and Surveyor Finley presented a map showing the location of the dam, the overflowed lands adjacent to it, and the high water mark where the tide would come in seasons of heavy rainfall. This would include much of the land lying near the game preserve. Mr. Johnson, speaking for the club, said the club desired low water instead of high water in the inner bay, and were doing all in their power to reduce the level of the water. He was plied with many questions, and together with Mr. Dunn presented the case of the gun club in the best possible light. A single false step might lead to trouble, as many of the farmers were in angry mood, and the subject had to be handled with great delicacy of touch and circumcision. No doubt the farmers have, some of them, sustained damages, but for this the club announces itself entirely willing to pay, and doubtless it will pay for it; but that the dam should be summarily removed, before giving the club an opportunity of demonstrating that the lowering of the wierway to extreme low water mark would do away with all the difficulty, is rather to be doubted.

Evidently it had come to the hearing of the Chief Executive (what one could easily hear at Monday's meeting) that an intention prevailed to blow out the dam. "Is there any talk down that way of blowing out the dam?" one of the farmers was asked. "Well," he replied, "I don't think the jury could be found to convict a man if he did it." John Cole was the star performer of the day, next to Mr. Hazard. John has an eagle eye, a bushy head of hair, a smooth face and a fist that has a bad habit of striking the table to emphasize his remarks. But he minimizes his objectionable conduct by excusing himself before he begins, thus giving people fair warning that he is liable to get excited and say things which may hap had better be left unsaid. John's land was under water, he said, as a result of the placing of the dam across the channel. There is no doubt he has sustained some damage by overflow, whether it be by the existence of the dam or otherwise may probably remain for the courts to decide. Some days ago two members of the club, John said, were driving by his place. One of them, pointing over to his overflowed land, observed: "There's that damn land that is causing us all the trouble." John's eye flashed fire, his teeth were set in grim determination and his fist sounded with a thwack upon the table, as he said that the next time he heard any of the club members say that again he would get his gun and go forth to have a settlement concerning it in the highway. Durthe course of the debate John's eye flashed fire and his clenched fist hit the table a dozen times, as he shouted, "I'll not stand it; I'll not stand it." Some of the irreverent were indiscreet enough to titter, at which John's eyes rolled and flashed some more fire as he added, in defiance like, "Yes; and my name is John Cole, and I live in the Peat." John would be a bad customer to meet out late at night. He was the star witness next to Mr. Hazard, whose principal point seemed to be that the dam should be removed because it obstructed a navigable stream. Billy Dunn, suave and subtle, represented the gun club, and was later reinforced by Mr. Johnson, a member of the club. Mr. Dunn never had a more skittish lot of colts to handle at a precinct caucus than these Peatland farmers, who pestered him with the dam should be summarily removed, before giving the club an opportunity of demonstrating that the lowering of the wierway to extreme low water mark would do away with all the difficulty, is rather to be floubled. The Supervisors wrestled with the subject for two hours, and then adjourned for lunch. At 1:30 the board reconvened, and after an hour's discussion or more, Supervisor Larter offered a motion to the effect that the dam appearing to be a public nuisance, the same be ordered removed. The board were of the opinion that this was too sweeping a statement, and Supervisor Pixley suggested that the words "or take such action as may be wise and proper" follow the phrase "the dam be removed." Mr. Larter thought this would in effect kill his resolution, and Mr. Pixley did not press the matter. After a tedious and long-drawn-out discussion, the board voted for the resolution substantially as Mr. Larter prepared it, the word "dam" being stricken out and the word "obstruction" placed in its stead. The District Attorney was instructed to bring suit to have the obstruction removed, and the tax-payers of the county will in all probability have a bill for legal services to pay for a matter concerning the gun club and the Peatland farmers exclusively. Suppose the District Attorney shall fail to prove in court that the dam is the nuisance complained of, how will the farmers recover damages for their overflowed lands, and what will be their next step to secure redress? It seems to us that instead of going into court and asking the people of the county to pay for their legal advice, these farmers and duck shooters should come together amicably (leaving Mr. Cole and his eagle eye and thwacking fist at home) and by friendly arbitration arrive at a solution of the questions now at variance between them. With reference to the matter of registering for the city election in April City Attorney Chynoweth said on Tuesday that the city charter provides that in all elections the last Great Register shall be used. Mr. Chynoweth is of opinion that no new registration is necessary for the municipal election, providing, of course, voters' names are already upon the Great Register. He states that a law passed by the last Legislature provides that County Clerks shall register voters for municipal elections for 30 days up to 25 days before holding the election.

He was the star witness next to Mr. Hazard, whose principal point seemed to be that the dam should be removed because it obstructed a navigable stream. Billy Dunn, suave and subtle, represented the gun club, and was later reinforced by Mr. Johnson, a member of the club. Mr. Dunn never had a more skittish lot of colts to handle at a precinct caucus than these Peatland farmers, who pestered him with questions which he freely admitted his inability to answer. He began his address by saying that the gun club would itself take out the dam if it was satisfied it was a source of damage to the settlers. But the members of the club had expended $10,000 upon it, and they did not think it was incumbent upon them to take it out because any man or set of men objected to it. He did not come to the meeting to stand upon his legal rights (they could be ventilated in court, if need be), but he came to discuss the question with the farmers in a friendly way, and endeavor to arrive at some satisfactory solution of the matters in dispute between them. The first plan of the dam, he said, had been found to be faulty, and when the club sought to lower the weirway in order to lower the water in the inner bay, as Mr. Botsford had promised the ranchers at a conference with them some weeks ago would be done, the club found that the plans were again at fault, and consequently the work had been delayed. However, new plans were being drawn up and the weirway would be lowered to the point desired (the extreme low water mark) and all ground for complaint removed. The club had engaged a steam dredger at San Francisco, and would shortly get to work dredging the channel so as to afford a better outflow of the waters. A cut had been made through the land between Bolsa Chica and Anaheim Landing bay, and this, when deep- Blanche Walsh's Luck. Hot Springs, (Ark.) Jan. 20.—It came to light tonight that Blanche Walsh, successor to the late Fannie Davenport in the tragic roles of Sardou, during her recent engagement here made a "killing" in one of the clubs at roulette. She won after a lively battle with fortune. At one time she went broke, and then the famous $10,000 diamond bracelet, which was among the Davenport jewels that Miss Walsh purchased, came into play. The bracelet proved a talisman, for almost immediately favor smiled on the fair player. Luck was with her; she played a strong game, and at 6 o'clock, when she stopped, she was winner $2900. She would have continued the battle longer, but was compelled to leave to get dinner before going to the theater, where the famous bracelet which had been in jeopardy in the afternoon played a brilliant part on the wrist of La Tosca.

Considerable discussion has existed whether it would be necessary for voters to re-register in order to vote at the ensing municipal election in April. The Great Register having been canceled by the Legislature, it was at first supposed that it would be necessary to re-register, but this contention is set at naught by the provision of an act passed by the last Legislature relating to municipal elections. We quote sections 5, 6 and 8 of that act, which are as follows: Sec. 5. Every person who was a qualified elector at the general State election immediately preceding the holding of any of the elections mentioned in Section 1 of this act, and who was upon the Great Register of the county, or city and county, where any such municipality is situated, as a qualified elector of any one of the precincts which compose a municipal election precinct, and who continues to reside within the exterior boundaries of such municipal election precinct until the time of the holding of the election herein provided for shall be entitled for vote at said election without other or additional registration. Sec. 6. All other persons claiming to vote at any of the elections provided for in this act must be registered upon the Great Register of the county, or city and county, within which such municipality is situated, as an elector of and within one of the precincts which compose the municipal election precinct where he claims to be entitled to vote. Such registration must take place at least twenty-five days prior to the election; and it shall be due of the County Clerk of the county, or city and county, within which such municipality is situated, and in those counties or cities and counties wherein the County Clerk is not the officer charged with the duty of registering voters, then of the officer so charged, to keep his office open for at least thirty days prior to the twenty-fifth day preceding any such election, for the registration of voters who may desire to vote at such election. Sec. 8. The register used in each municipal election precinct shall consist of a copy of the register of the county, or city and county, used at the General State election immediately preceding the holding of the election provided for in this act in the precincts which compose the municipal election precinct together with the additional names of the persons who, by registration had since such general State election, are entitled to vote at any of the elections herein provided for within THAT IMMORAL SHOW. Rev. Stone Adds a Word to His Former Statement Concerning It. EDITOR GAZETTE:—I find I was too harsh in my criticism of Mr. Hatfield in my letter of last week. He admits that gambling was at one time practiced in his place of business, but says that there has been absolutely nothing of the kind allowed for over a year. If this be true, and I have no reason to doubt it, I hereby present my apology and abhor myself in dust and ashes for insinuating that he was conducting a questionable resort. I do not play billiards, but I have no fight with those who play simply for the love of the game. Now, let me add a word in regard to “show” in the Opera-house last week. I find Mr. Hatfield was not guilty of any malice prepense. He says that if he had known the character of the company he would have had nothing to do with them. He admits that after they came here his suspicions were aroused, but if he had broken the contract and refused to open the house he would have been liable for damages. It appears, therefore, that Mr. Hatfield was just as innocent as the men who went to the “show” thinking they were to see some high-class art. In fact, everyone connected with the whole affair seems to have been innocent except the writer of the criticism last week. He undoubtedly was guilty of unjust criticism of a fellow citizen. The fact is we have had a “show” that would have done credit to the Bowery or Hell’s Half Acre; the tone of our Opera-house has been lowered; our city disgraced; the minds of our youth defrauded; and perhaps children yet unborn to suffer for it—but no one seems to be guilty. Mr. Hatfield did not know what he was getting; the men who attended did not know what they were attending; the Marshal was sick in bed and did not know what was going on—all were innocent. So far as I have been able to learn, no man was “innocent” enough to take his wife to the vile performance. This much at least seems to me certain—if no one has been guilty of criminal intent, some one has been guilty of criminal negligence. Let me suggest that more attention be given in the future to the credentials of companies seeking admission to our city. Give us nothing to which a man cannot take his wife and innocent children, and you shall hear no more from me. Very truly, JAMES STONE. Eastern Visitors. Ernest Derge and sister, Mrs. Emelia SCIENCE OF FORESTRY Dr. Stolberg Writes Concerning His experiences as a Forester in Germany and in America. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In various ways bers of your paper during the year I have read articles on the science forestry which interested me greatly as I had made a study of it in Germany In 1889 I commenced practical work in the private forest of the royal house Hohenzollern, at Hirschfelde, in province of Brandenburg, Precaution After two years’ study there I ensured the special university of forest science Germany, at Tharandt, Saxony mainting there a year and a half graduating as forest assessor or assistant chief district forester. In reading the forestry journal Germany articles came to my notice the subject of American forestry Thereby I became desirous of visiting the United States and studying American forest conditions Also because did not like the idea of working twelve years without pay to be eligible for a position of value in forestry service of Germany. In 1896 I came to this country being a year in Wyoming and observing the forest conditions The extreme cold weather of Wyoming complying my mother and myself to seek genial climate, and we decided to our home in Southern California came to Anahiem in 1897 My observations in Southern formia led me to believe that this tion of State, in view of its destitution of forests of great would be a proper region in which plant forest trees This I should be done not only because would bring into use mountainous that could not otherwise be used yield valuable returns (except prices in minerals), but also that the coats of the mountain regions with trees would be of inestimable value conserving the great volume owe that now goes waste. The science of forestry has been agreeable study to me, and if this title shall stimulate greater interest I shall be pleased The New Century. EDITOR GAZETTE: Some time ago on New Year's morning, Papa said to Mamma: "Well, our boy is one year old." "Yes," said Mamma, "last night at 12 o'clock." Some time after that he called me and asked, "How old are you?" "Ten," I promptly replied, and he said, "How many days have you lived?" I added a cipher to 365 and said, "3650; allow for leap years, etc." So far as I have able to learn, no man was "innocent" enough to take his wife to the vile performance. This much at least seems to me certain—if no one has been guilty of criminal intent, some one has been guilty of criminal negligence. Let me suggest that more attention be given in the future to the credentials of companies seeking admission to our city. Give us nothing to which a man cannot take his wife and innocent children, and you shall hear no more from me. Very truly, JAMES STONE. Eastern Visitors.

There has been considerable friction during the past year between the Peatland farmers and the Bolsa Gun club over a dam put in by the club to check the outflowing water. The farmers finally carried their complaint to the Board of Supervisors and asked that the dam be ordered out. Of course, all right-minded persons will sympathize with the farmers who use their land to sustain life, rather than with the sportsmen, who use their land to gratify an abnormal taste; but the Board of Supervisors has no jurisdiction over the matter, unless it be to protect the roads or other county property. The gun club has a right to put anything it pleases on its own land, provided no injury results therefrom to the persons or property of its neighbors. Undoubtedly obstructing the channels for drainage damages the adjacent farms, and their owners should have redress; but it is the privilege of these farmers to take their complaint into court and not the duty of the county to do so. There is a way, however, whereby the county can be drawn into the matter, and that is by laying out county roads or establishing drainage ditches through the tract to the sea. These resident farmers, each with a vote, could organize a drainage district, including that dam site, and drain the whole territory in spite of a non-resident, non-voting gun club. If any litigation should be necessary, the county officers should look after the matter, and the whole district would bear the expense rather than a few individuals. Such a suit could be maintained, because it would be on right lines; but for the county to undertake to destroy improvements on the private property of the gun club, without being able to show that it (the county as a municipal corporation) had any interest in the matter or was damaged thereby, would result in failure. The effort of the gun club to stem the tide of public sentiment and secure the endorsement of benevolent people by donating a few dozen ducks to charitable purposes each week is an acknowledgment of weakness and an insult to these benevolent people. Either the duck preserve is harmless and should be upheld because it is right, or it is an injury to surrounding property and should be abandoned because it is wrong; but to try to buy public favor with a few dead ducks is despicable.

EXCIENCE OF FORESTRY. Holberg Writes Concerning His Experiences as a Forester in Germany and in America. VIRTOR GAZETTE:—In various numbers of your paper during the year past I read articles on the science of forestry which interested me greatly, and made a study of it in Germany. 1899 I commenced practical work in private forest of the royal house of Anzollern, at Hirschfelde, in the place of Brandenburg, Prussia. Two years' study there I entered special university of forest science Schaffenburg, Bavaria. I spent a half in the university, and did as forest assistant. During bare time I also studied the veteriscience at Wurzburg, near Aschburg, and later graduated at DresSaxony. In the spring of 1892 I annued my studies in forestry in the most university of forest science in Many, at Tharandt, Saxony, rening there a year and a half, and using as forest assessor or assisthief district forester. An assist must serve a term of from ten to five years, without compensation, since he can become chief district forester. Reading the forestry journals of many articles came to my notice on subject of American forestry. Thereby I became desirous of visiting United States and studying Ameriforest conditions. Also, because I not like the idea of working ten or five years without pay, to become able for a position of value in the forestry service of Germany. 1896 I came to this country, spenda year in Wyoming and observing forest conditions. The extremely weather of Wyoming compelled mother and myself to seek a more social climate, and we decided to make home in Southern California. We to Anaheim in 1897. My observations in Southern Calicia led me to believe that this porof the State, in view of its natural institution of forests of great extent, would be a proper region in which to at forest trees. This, I think, should be done not only because it could bring into use mountainous land but could not otherwise be used to add valuable returns (except perhaps minerals), but also that the covering the mountain regions with forests would be of inestimable value in serving the great volume of water that now goes to waste. The science of forestry has been an increasing study to me, and if this arge shall stimulate greater interest in COMMERCIAL HOTEL UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT E. L.

CHIGAGO, Jan. 20. — Vladimir de Schmann, the great pianist, who has turned from California, where he aims to have suffered from heat, is at Auditorium. Being a Russian, and once accustomed to "polar-bear temperature," he finds musical inspiration asserting him in the steam-heated American hotels. He explains that he lives sleeping in a cold room. Last night at the Auditorium he let down every window of his room, and then succeeded in reducing the temperature to 47 degrees. Tonight his room will be packed in ice to induce the necessary repose to visit his artistic talent. In California he says the landlords diligently shut off steam heat all over the hotels to accommodate their disguised guest, but De Pachmann says that this cannot be done in sleepy cars and that accordingly he abomines American railways. He prefers the compartment system of European railways, by which each passenger is enabled to regulate the temperature to suit himself. Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

This is a recognized fact among animal trainers. The ringtail monkeys taken about by Italians are very gentle and are never whipped. A Famous Eagle. The eagle which originally decorated the stern of the famous schooner yacht America, which first won what is now known as the America's cup, is now the sign of the Royal Eagle hotel at Ryde, Isle of Wight, overlooking the scene of the vessel's triumph over her English competitors in 1851.

Why if you stay here we shall have money to bank. The reason is my expense is only one-fourth of what it costs the others to run their stores. I can buy as cheap, so I am able to sell 10 per cent cheaper than the cheapest store in the county. My price list is issued monthly. Call for one. The goods are sold with a guarantee, as I want only honest trading. No catch lines or short weight. FRANCIS NEWMAN.
