The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... FEBRUARY 8, 1900 That the two valley water companies (the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies) did wisely in rejecting the proposal of Judge Silent, acting for the Newberry syndicate people, a perusal of the report of the conference committee, printed in another column, setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposal, will attest abundantly. The purposes of the first section of this remarkable proposition were as follows: "To organize a syndicate or corporation and turn over to it the Durkee lands and water and the Newberry lands and water, the former 'at cost,' and the latter 'at a reasonable valuation'; issue bonds to meet the expense, and divide the profits, including 6000 acres of land on the San Joaquin ranch; 400 inches, more or less, of extra water, and 1000 horse-power in excess of what would be needed for pumping." Certainly we want none of this sort of thing. Six thousand acres of land on the San Joaquin ranch! Certainly we want none of that. That fact might just as well be regarded as settled, once and for all. The second proposition offered by the syndicate was the following: "The two companies to be given the Newberry lands, water and power appropriations free from encumbrance, in return for 1600 inches of water delivered perpetually without cost, at such point and elevation in the canyon as will enable Newberry to convey it to the Irvine ranch and property." This is a "perfectly lovely" proposition, to be sure! To pump water from the river to an altitude of four or five hundred feet, in order that Newberry may convey it to the San Joaquin ranch! Do we understand the proposal clearly? If so, it would seem a more foolhardy offer was never made on earth. Imagine the two companies obligating themselves to pump water for Jim Irvine's ranch! O, no, Judge Silent, that would never, never do. The cost for the necessary head works, conduits and pumping plants is the trifling sum of $450,000—but tion, etc.), $5,582,888.45; purchase of guns, ammunition and supplies abroad, $1,327,017.26; buildings, etc., at navy yards, stations, $690,857.18; hire and running expenses, chartered vessels, $475,422.87. We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the message of Gov. Henry T. Gage calling the Legislature in extra session together, the strong points of which are already familiar to the people of the State. There is one point, however, which will remain ever fresh in the memory of the Governor's friends here in the South, where he is known best, and that is the handsome manner in which he paid his respects to certain daily newspapers of the State, whose editors have been reviling him because of a personal spite engendered by the setting aside of their personal ambitions. The paper which is at present the most vindictive toward the Governor is the Call, which only desisted in its attacks upon him at the very eve of the state convention which nominated him by acclamation to the high office which he has since so ably filled. That one single occurrence proved to a nicety wide influence (or lack of influence) of Mr. Spreckles' newspaper. After fighting the illustrious citizen of the South for weeks, it wheeled about and came to his support when his nomination was already assured. The Call gave the Republican nominee such support during the ensuing campaign as could be expected from a paper which had fought his nomination so villainously, and immediately upon the Governor's election made such preposterous demands upon him for the patronage of the office as could only be set aside by a Chief Executive of any self respect. Thereupon the attitude of this newspaper began to be one of extreme hostility toward the Governor and has so continued to this day. Its attacks upon the Chief Executive are a reproach to journalism, yet he passes them by with dignified ignoring. The Governor's message is an able State paper and is worthy the perusal of every voter in the com- HARTFORD, FARRAGUT'S SHOP. Mathias Hugo Sees the Launching of Remodeled War Vessel at Mare Island Navy Yard. EDITOR ANAHEIM GAZETTE:—I try to write down a few impressions received during my first three weeks in the navy-yard. First impressions believe, are the most vivid and greatest value to the average person—the attractive, the remarkable takes the attention and holds the greatest terest. Later impressions lose charm of novelty, and lend themselves to the less interesting but more important investigation of detail. After my ride on the steamer Moncello, which covers the distance of miles between Vallejo and San Francisco in two hours and a half, I found myself in the town of Vallejo. It is lovely place to look at from the bay from the island, for now the surrounding green hills form a nice background for it and the town's empty lots. The little-traveled streets on the bay show their patches of bright greens. But everything is not gold that gets. Just plant your foot on a crushing of Vallejo's streets, and you wish that you had put on your hull rubber boots, for the crossing covered with the finest mud paste ever saw! There is no danger exerted in being mired in going across street between crossings. These first impressions of Vallejo are course, misleading, for nobody is willing to believe that the local city government goes about the whole year smeared with adobe mud. All the employees of the United navy-yard either have their homes in Vallejo or have their lodgings there, and go to these homes in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, etc., on Saturday evenings. Body lives on Mare Island except commandant of the navy-yard; naval constructor and several naval officers and the marine corps. The marine hospital is located there. Every morning at 7 o'clock a few boats take the employees across to Isle Island, and a few launches take clerks, draughtsmen, etc., over a a.m. At noon the ferry-boat takes those over to Vallejo who care too hot lunches, and returns at 1 o'clock. At present the hours are from 7:30 p.m. for all employees extend clerks and draughtsmen, who work less than eight hours a day. Soon hours will be changed to 8 a.m. and p.m. as the days become longer. from the river to an altitude of four or five hundred feet, in order that Newberry may convey it to the San Joaquin ranch! Do we understand the proposal clearly? If so, it would seem a more foolhardy offer was never made on earth. Imagine the two companies obligating themselves to pump water for Jim Irvine's ranch! O, no, Judge Silent, that would never, never do. The cost for the necessary head works, conduits and pumping plants is the trifling sum of $450,000—but the returns on the investment will be $1,080,000, so the Judge says. The Judge is an able constitutional lawyer, but he cannot catch us with such chaff as that. No, no, Judge, that will not do. Here is one of the questions proounded by the representatives of the water companies: What amount of water do your engineers estimate can be developed out of the Newberry lands, if the entire stream is taken out above and carried for pumping purposes? Can they demonstrate that the water in those lands does not seep from the river, which forms a letter 8 above the ranch? The reply is that "the amount is as yet a matter of judgment and not a demonstrated fact." Precisely so. Question—You say you do not intend to disturb our prior rights in the stream. What number of inches do you exclude from your claims as belonging to the two companies which were formed? Answer—We have not yet formed a definite idea as to the measure of your water rights, etc. Beautiful! Was there ever such a preposterously beautiful proposition offered the people? "Judge Silent compared the Durkee lands and water rights with the Newberry lands and water to the disparagement of the former and the enhancement of the latter." At the same time he is most anxious to join his lands with those of "inferior" quality, for the sake of "peace and harmony"! "It is plain," says the committee. "that no good can result to our companies from further negotiations"; therefore it recommends that the proposition be rejected altogether. That is an eminently correct conclusion, and will be coincided in by 99 per cent of the community. So far as the stockholders of the Anaheim company are concerned, we may be sure they care to have no interest in "6000 acres of land on the San Joaquin," which has no water for irrigation; nor do they take kindly to the scheme of pumping 1600 inches of water a height of 500 feet to permit Irvine to conduct it by gravity from the towering hills that wall the river to his fields on the San Joaquin. O, no, no, Judge Silent, this will never, never do. Shoo, fly, don't bother me! From the breaking out of the war with Spain to the present time the total expenditures of the govern- WEATHER REPORT. U. S. Department of Agriculture, California Section, Climate and Crop Service. Weather Bureau, Feb. 5. General Summary.—The temperature has averaged slightly above the normal throughout the State, but foggy, cloudy weather has continued in the valleys, in some portions of the Coast and Bay sections and in Southern California. Light showers of rain have fallen in the central and northern portions, and in some localities this has retarded farm work to a considerable extent. Plowing and seeding continue on the light soils, but the adobe and clay lands are still too heavy for working, especially in the central and northern sections. Pruning in orchards and vineyards has progressed quite favorably, and is nearly completed in many localities. Early sown grain continues in excellent condition generally, though needing rain in portions of Southern California; in some parts of the San Joaquin valley grain is reported to be turning yellow in spots, owing to the scarcity of sunshine. Present indications are that with the usual spring rains the yield of grain will be considerably in excess of the normal. Pasture continues plentiful in most sections, but would be benefited by rain in the south, where it is reported that feed will become scarce unless good rains come soon. Almonds are in bloom in all sections, and in some localities apricots, early peaches and other deciduous fruits have started to such an extent that considerable damage will probably result should heavy frosts occur. In some sections it is already predicted that the almond crop will be light, owing to the unusually forward condition of the trees. Southern California orchardists are said to be experimenting in various ways to retard the too early development of fruit buds; one method is thorough irrigation whenever possible in warm weather during the winter months. Citrus fruit trees are looking healthy, and are making good growth. The only frost reported during the week was at Rosewood, Tehama county. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. Heavy fogs during the week, with considerable cloudy weather, benefited grain crops, which are still holding out very well in most sections. Rain at this time would be very beneficial throughout the district, and in some localities it is reported that grain and pasturage will suffer unless rain comes soon. The continued warm weather has caused almonds to bloom, and started deciduous fruit buds to such an extent that it is quite probable the almond crop will be very light, owing to the attention upon the Governor's election made such preposterous demands upon him for the patronage of the office as could only be set aside by a Chief Executive of any self respect. Thereupon the attitude of this newspaper began to be one of extreme hostility toward the Governor and has so continued to this day. Its attacks upon the Chief Executive are a reproach to journalism, yet he passes them by with dignified ignoring. The Governor's message is an able State paper and is worthy the perusal of every voter in the commonwealth. Every morning at 7 o'clock a few boat takes the employees across to island, and a few launches take clerks, draughtsmen, etc., over a m. At noon the ferry-boat takes those over to Vallejo who care to hot lunches, and returns at 1 o'clock At present the hours are from 7:30 to 4:30 p.m. for all employees extinguish the clerks and draughtsmen, who less than eight hours a day. Soon hours will be changed to 8 a.m. and p.m. as the days become longer. The channel between Mare Island and mainland is swept by the four times daily. In addition to tide water Napa river pours into channel. It is always a muddy flow makes generally turbulent when look like that of the Missouri river which it is often compared. The things of interest in the new yard are manifold, indeed. Here is place where the young marine sold and the sailors enter upon their mantle and uncertain career, and this naval station they return after voyages, surfeited with the sight of greatest cities and of peoples of globe. Perhaps they have suffered morally and physically and are likely better off in fortune; yet they better than many of us, for they bronzed breasts hide noble hearts gluing with patriotism and charity. The historian may find plenty of spiration from the originals of history making renown. There lies the United States cruise Boston, 21, of Manila fame, in the stream, shifting its course according to the tide; $500,000 are propriated for her reconstructed There will be, it is said, over two years work on its vessel. The Boston be taken on land, cut in two, lenched and launched again, making practically a new cruiser. The most interesting ship that been here out of the whole fleet of pedo-boats, cruisers and battle-ship the United States ship Hartford, Farragut's famous flagship. I quote a paragraph from an article The Scientific American of January on the reconstruction of the Hartford which also gives a full account of action of this ship and of its fleet in that noted fight of the war, together with some excellent illustrations of the Hartford in drydry. "This famous vessel is endearable to the hearts of American people her association with some of them stirring scenes and with one of greatest heroes of the civil war." acted as flagship of the fleet which August 5, 1864, forced its way through seemingly impregnable entrances to Mobile bay, and in so doing achieved one of the most daring and brilliant successful feats in the history of operations." For about five years the Hartford had been laid up at Mare Isle Finally, through efforts of people terested in the history of the ship of the navy-yard on the Pacific coast Congress appropriated $576,000 for complete reconstruction. Still Hartford remains the old historic wooden Hartford, with copper-cove bottom. Your humble servant saw last original decayed ribs taken out her and replaced with new ones, and prize a nine-inch ruler made from old piece of wood taken out of the Hartford's side. I was fortunate enough to witness Hartford's going out of dry dock. It was a gala day for some of the Vailites who brought their lunches were prepared to watch their filling San Joaquin, which has no water for irrigation; nor do they take kindly to the scheme of pumping 1600 inches of water a height of 500 feet to permit Irvine to conduct it by gravity from the towering hills that wall the river to his fields on the San Joaquin. O, no, no, Judge Silent, this will never, never do. Shoo, fly, don't bother me! From the breaking out of the war with Spain to the present time the total expenditures of the government on account of the war and the hostilities in the Philippines amount in round figures to $355,000,000. It is impossible to calculate accurately the cost of the war for the reason that it is not possible to tell in all cases just how much expenditures made under a given heading are in excess of those that would have been made had it not been for the war. As nearly as can be estimated the war expenditures have been about as follows: On account of the War Department, $255,000,000; on account of the Navy Department, $69,000,000; paid to Spain for the Philippines, $20,-000,000; interest on war loan to date, $9,000,000; increased expenses in departmental service at Washington, $2,000,000. Total war expenditures, $355,000,000. The national defense fund of $50,-000,000, voted by Congress on the eve of the breaking out of the war, was placed at the disposal of the President without any limitations whatever, and allotments from it were made to various departments as needed to meet expenditures for which Congress had not specifically appropriated funds. The largest allotment, $29,973,-274.22, was made to the Navy Department, and was principally used for the purchase of vessels, guns, ammunition and supplies. Some of the principal items of expenditure under this allotment were: Purchase of vessels, $17,780,585.54; bureau of ordnance (guns, ammuni- The only frost reported during the week was at Rosewood, Tehama county.

Orchardists are experimenting in various ways to retard the too early development of the fruit buds. Eureka Summary—Plowing and sowing wheat and oats became more general on uplands during the past week. The ground remains too cold and wet for bulb planting. Los Angeles Summary—Continued dry weather is beginning to affect grain, which is turning yellow in some places. Rain is needed badly and unless it comes soon the prospect for crops is dubious. Warmer weather is bringing fruit buds out fast, and cold is needed to keep them back. A. G. McADIE, Section director. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S.

He returned at once to very edge of the wharf and continue his eulogy. In order to get still closer to his "beloved old Hartford," he went out on a barge that had been lying alongside the wharf. Some meddling tried to prevent him from going; but a result he lost his hat in the scuffle with imminent danger of both taking a plunge in the muddy bay. The FORD, FARRAGUT'S SHIP.

Once more he delivered a flood of patriotic eloquence: "There she goes away forever, the old Hartford! May she always have fair winds to fill her sails, and full bunkers for her boilers. Let her sink to the bottom the enemies of the Stars and Stripes. May she always steer clear of the hidden rocks and escape the storms and typhoons. Now, there, her stern has disappeared behind the point. Three cheers for the old Hartford—hip, hip, hurrah; hip, hip, hurrah; hip, hip, hurrah! Goodbye, old Hartford, goodbye! I have seen her once more and cheered for her. Now I can die happy. God bless her!" He did not throw himself into the bay to "die for the old Hartford," as some expected he would do; but, satisfied, he went home accompanied by his band of tormentors, some of whom learned a lesson of loyalty, love and patriotism from the old sailor.

Still the remains the old historic Hartford, with copper-repainting. Your humble servant saw the original decayed ribs taken out of and replaced with new ones, and I nine-inch ruler made from an piece of wood taken out of the Hartside. Fortunate enough to witness the word's going out of dry dock. This wala day for some of the Vallejowho brought their lunches and prepared to watch the filling of buck and the testing of the ship's ty, and finally to see the caisson and drawn aside at the opening dock. Then the majestic Hartcovered slowly into the strait, tags flying, bands playing, officers bridge and men in the rigging. She was free once more resting bosom of the bay her guns spoke usual salute and challenge to world. The first Sunday in January, at 1 o'clock, she left Mare island sentence her long voyage to Hampads. The jackies on the Ranger, India and the Adams gave their cheers as the Hartford passed. Singing of bells and the din of was added to the glee, and only savere missing to make it comput they are not fired on Sunday. The Hartford was going out under a tipsy old man, probably a sailor on the departing ship, down to the crowds on the water. He was carrying his hat in his hand and his actions and excited cases about the old Hartford had led around him a large band of boys. As he came into full of the ship he stopped for breath, en bowing his bared head in revhe said: "Are goes the glorious old Hartrence more! May she fight many battles and win them as she did Hurrah!" There are a lobster!" shouted one of was an insult to the flag. So gag, "You are Spaniards!" he protended to avenge the slur upon his ism by attacking the whole band tormentors; but they fled like boys. He returned at once to the age of the wharf and continued ogy. In order to get still closer beloved old Hartford," he went a barge that had been lying de the wharf. Some meodler prevent him from goling, but as he lost his hat in the scuffle, minent danger of both taking be in the muddy bay. The old Peruvian Army Discipline. This military story is printed in a Limna paper: A man belonging to the Peruvian artillery was ordered to be flogged, and there was no regulation cat handy with which to inflict the castration. The officer in charge, who was a severe disciplinarian, decided to defer the carrying out of the order until the official scourge, which he at once requisitioned, should arrive. It was about a year before the cat was supplied by the authorities. By that time the soldier had been dead several months! The Salmon. When a young salmon is first hatched, it is known as a parr.

Report of a Prosperous Year's Business by the Secretary of the Farmers' Insurance Company. R. D. Reed of Fullerton, Secretary of Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance company, has had the kindness to furnish us with the follow-up report of the business done by the company during the past year: REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1899. FULLERTON, Cal., Jan. 8, 1900. To the members of the Orange County Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company:—In making this second annual report of the conditions of our company I will say at the beginning that its success so far has exceeded the expectations of the most sanguine of its organizers. While we are not yet as large and strong a company as we would like to be, we have made a good healthy growth. I think each agent has felt that he was a part of the company, and has been his aim to take good risks and build well. The directors have agreed on all questions as they would on business of their own, so that owing to good management or good fortune, success has attended us thus far. We have had no losses during the war—at least none that the directors considered legitimate. The Roeder he has probably been fully explained in the circular letter which I mailed to each member of the company aboutapt. I. The sentiment in favor of farmers' insurance companies is growing rapidly, not only in Orange county but in many other parts of the State. I have received letters of inquiry from several places, and some of them have succeeded in organizing companies. It has been suggested that a State association of these companies be formed, and that by so doing we would receive mutual benefit, by way of management, ensuring favorable legislation, etc. As this was one of the first companies to organize in the State, would it not be useful for us to take an active part in forming this association? Last year there were some changes made in the by-laws by the directors, they thought it expedient so to do, and they hoped to have a sufficient number here today to vote on those amendments. No changes have been made in the by-laws during the year not closed. The directors have aimed to make the expenses as low as practicable, and during 1898 gave their services free. But in 1899 they thought it no more than just that they receive $1.50 per day for time actually spent in attending board meetings. In the case of the Roeder fire they thought it best to obtain some legal advice before taking immediate action, and did so at an ex- COMMERCIAL HOTEL UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT E. L.

W. E. B. Du Bois, in his book, "The Philadelphia Negro," devotes much space to authentic instances, proving that, in the words of the author, "the road to success is to have a white face." Professor Du Bois cites many individual cases in support of his somewhat bitter deduction, one of the most striking being the experience of a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. This young colored man took a course in mechanical engineering, was an apt student, was well recommended and by reason of his excellent record obtained a situation through an advertisement. He reported for work, remained only a few hours and was then discharged for the simple reason that his skin was not white. The experience was repeated several times until he became utterly discouraged. He is now a waiter in the University club, where he is forced to serve white fellow graduates. He Read Caine. While Hall Caine was in this country several years ago the Aldine club of New York city dined him. Among those invited to meet Mr. Caine was one of the most popular of our American authors. Soon after the dinner began dinner cards began to circulate with requests for autographs. The author in question whispered to his neighbors: "I'm going to send my card up to Mr. Caine as soon as I can, for I am down for a speech later on, and I want to be able to say that I've read something that Caine has written."—New York Mail and Express.
