A PICNIC AT THE SEASIDE. Bolsa Chica Club Entertains Its Friends at the Club Grounds. A Special Train Run from Pasadena and Los Angeles Conveys a Jolly Party to Smeltzer, where Carriages Take Them to the Club House—They Pass the Land Owned by Cole of the Thwacking Fist—The Dam is Really a Benefit to the Webfooters—Land which was Once Tide Land is Now Reclaimed and Being Prepared for Corn-A Sumptuous Lunch. Shooting. Boating and Fishing Fill the Day. The Bolsa Chica gun club entertained its friends at a picnic at the club grounds on Saturday. A special train of five cars was run from Pasadena and Los Angeles, stopping at Buena Park, this city and Orange, to take on members of the club and invited guests. One hundred and sixty ladies and gentlemen composed the party, which was under the personal charge of Mr. Botsford, President of the Bolsa Chica land company, and Count Von Schmidt, President of the gun club. Count Von Schmidt is an old-time resident of this city, and greeted his friends with warm cordiality, as did also Mr. Botsford and the other members. An orchestra of ten pieces accompanied the excursion and discoursed music during the trip. In the afternoon it rendered music for a dance program in the main assembly hall of the spacious clubhouse, where many couples tripped the light fantastic to the latest musical airs. At Santa Ana the train ran upon the Newport Beach tracks, and continued over the beach line to Smeltzer station, where tally-hos and other equipages were in waiting to convey the party to the club grounds, a distance, according to the route traveled, of some five miles. Turning into view of the breakers at Newport Beach, with a long arm of the waters extending inland on the other side, an occasional flock of ducks was seen, skimming along the waters or winging their flight overhead. The day was one of rare beauty. Not a cloud flecked the sky, and the cooling breezes of the ocean, filling the cars with a freshening delight, set the party in a happy mood, while the orchestral strains from the band resounded through the cars and added to the conduct in office while deputy assessor. The grand jury administered this stinging rebuke to this most consummate faker who ever disgraced the Board of Supervisors of this county: "In the district of R. E. Larter we find numerous cases in which personal property has absolutely escaped assessment. In many of these cases the owner was both able and ready to pay his tax. This action—or rather neglect of action of the deputy assessor—shows clearly a gross neglect of duty or incompetency, or a desire to favor personal or political friends, and gives an added force to our recommendation for a thorough reform of the system now in vogue.* * * "In the case of R. E. Larter, the deputy assessor mentioned on page 9 of this report, after a careful investigation, we have requested the district attorney to enter twelve cases of misdemeanor against him for willful neglect of duty. These cases of neglect—or worse—are but some of many instances of his negligent methods, and from our knowledge of the gentleman's lack of sense of official duty, we suggest to the taxpayers of the second supervisorial district the wisdom of a signed request for the immediate resignation of Mr. R. E. Larter from the office of supervisor, to which he has just been elected." This man Larter, through impulses of fear of the Thwacking Fist and its associates, or of malice toward the gun club for excluding him and his gun and rod from its private shooting and fishing grounds, or perhaps of both, has forced the temporary abandonment of one of the greatest enterprises for the advancement of the interests of Orange county that has ever been brought to the attention of the people. And as piling Pelion upon Ossa, the taxpayers of the county, through his machinations, have been saddled with the expense of maintaining the suit. A mile northwest of the dam, a channel 30 feet wide and 200 yards long, cut from the Bolsa Chica bay to the slough opening into Anaheim Landing bay, affords an abundant outflow for the receding tide. At the recent Uprising of the Webset, Surveyor Finley, who is thought to have taken on curvature of the spine, said that the waters would not run from Bolsa Chica bay to Anaheim Landing bay, because it was uphill. If Mr. Finley will go to this place and use his eyes he will see, as Judge Richard Egan pointed out on Saturday, a current of 12,000 miners' inches of water flowing at the ebb of the tide into the slough feeding the Anaheim Landing bay. Finley also submitted to the Supervisors at the time of the ghost dance a procterous man showing or pretending to be office while deputy assessor.

TrusteeSchwenckertunderstood party to the club grounds, a distance, according to the route traveled, of some five miles. Turning into view of the breakers at Newport Beach, with a long arm of the waters extending inland on the other side, an occasional flock of ducks was seen, skimming along the waters or winging their flight overhead. The day was one of rare beauty. Not a cloud flecked the sky, and the cooling breezes of the ocean, filling the cars with a freshening delight, set the party in a happy mood, while the orchestral strains from the band resounded through the cars and added to the pleasures of the occasion. At 10:30 o'clock the party alighted at Smeltzer station and took carriages for the clubhouse. The route lay along the road to the north toward Westminster and then west on the section line in front of the Cook house. "There's Tom Cook's house," said one of the old-timers in the party. "There's where Cook was shot by his wife." "I read about that in the papers," said one of the ladies, as she turned and looked at the two-story white-painted residence which has become a landmark in the Peat. "What did she kill him for?" asked another lady. Some one whispered in her ear, and she whispered back: "Well, I don't blame her a bit." Further along the long line of carriages, which formed quite a picturesque sight as it wended its way over the hills, passed Brother Cole's place — Brother Cole of the Thwacking Fist. From an eminence the clubhouse could be seen a mile or more away. Cole has forty acres of land, half of it on the mesa and half of it in what was once submerged tide land. Now, by reason of the erection of the dam shuttling out the waters, the low land is susceptible of being plowed. His land joins that of the club. The club has erected a wire fence on two sides of his property, fencing in its own land. On ground next to Cole's and extending a quarter of a mile toward the dam, the club will begin this week to plow for the planting of a crop of corn. Cole has been instrumental in bringing suit against the club to declare the dam a nuisance. He paid $4500 for his land a year ago. On the side, he has offered to sell his place for $8000, and call it square. Instead of declaring the dam a nuisance, he ought to pay the club handsomely for assisting in reclaiming his land from the side waters. Arriving at the clubhouse the party alighted from their vehicles and entered the main building, where every preparation had been made for their entertainment. An inspection of the premises followed. The duck pond, where numerous ducks and geese are kept in captivity, while a fountain of water plays into a cement basin, affording them a swimming pool, was one of the novel features of the grounds. The dog kennels, containing the finest hunting dogs in Southern California, was also visited, as well as the rabbitry. The party later walked down upon the dam, where the method of its operation was explained. The water was at lont but a stream ran with some anchors an abundant outflow for a receding tide. At the recent Uprising of the Webfeet, Surveyor Finley, who is thought to have taken on curvature of the spine, said that the waters would not run from Bolsa Chica bay to Anaheim Landing bay, because it was uphill. If Mr. Finley will go to this place and use his eyes he will see, as Judge Richard Egan pointed out on Saturday, a current of 12,000 miners' inches of water flowing at the ebb of the tide into the slough feeding the Anaheim Landing bay. Finley also submitted to the Supervisors at the time of the ghost dance a preposterous map, showing, or pretending to show, by a high-water line, the adjacent territory to the gun club's property which would be overflowed in time, as he claimed. If the dam was permitted to remain in the channel. This high-water line took in a wide area of territory which never was under water and probably never will be. Inasmuch as the water inside the dam is lower than ever, and the water outside the dam from 3 to 4 feet higher than on the inside, how can the dam enter into Finley's conspiracy to flood these higher lands? Again, what about the phenomenally high spring and fall tides, which used to sweep into the bay and overflow the lands above, even unto close proximity to this preposterous "high-water line," thus doing incalculable harm to lands situated adjacent to the overflowed or marshy area? The dam has effectually barred their progress. The water in the inner bay is lower today than ever, and it will in all probability so remain. But Larter will not be permitted to shoot there, nor will Mr. Hazard be permitted to dilate further upon the navigability of the stream (for ducks), nor the Thwacking Fist molest the serenity of the placid scene. These three men are the prime movers in the suit against the club. At the club house the clink-of glasses, of silver upon china, and the merry jest and laughter of one of the jolliest crowds ever collected together in Orange county, filled the dining room. Ten superb roast turkeys were in course of being discussed. There were other delicacies too numerous to mention—meats, imported cheese of various descriptions, relishes, salads, olives, cakes, pies, coffee, lemonade, beer and champagne. An hour was consumed in discussing the rare repast. After luncheon they ladies shot at a target. None hit it. The shooting was in charge of E. T. Earl, who busied himself looking after the comforts of the guests of the club. "Who's that young fellow over there, with the bristly mustache, sawed off like a brush?" asked the reporter. "That's Johnny Muir; don't you know Johnny Muir? No! He's down here in his private car. That man over there is Mr. Luce, the Southern Pacific passenger agent—Muir is the S. P. boss in Los Angeles—knew that, didn't you? That man over there is Mr. Botsford, the new editor of the Express; that's Count Schmidt; that's Earl; that's Dr. Johnson of Pasadena," and so on, he continued, pointing out a score of dignitaries. Count von Schmidt here announced an abundance outflow for a receding tide. At the recent Uprising of the Webfeet, Surveyor Finley, who is thought to have taken on curvature of the spine, said that the waters would not run from Bolsa Chica bay to Anaheim Landing bay, because it was uphill. If Mr. Finley will go to this place and use his eyes he will see, as Judge Richard Egan pointed out on Saturday, a current of 12,000 miners' inches of water flowing at the ebb of the tide into the slough feedingthe Anaheim Landing bay.

"That's Johnny Muir; don't you know Johnny Muir? No! He's down here in his private car. That man over there is Mr. Luce, the Southern Pacific passenger agent—Muir is the S. P. boss in Los Angeles—knew that, didn't you? That man over there is Mr. Botsford, the new editor of the Express; that's Dr. Johnson of Pasadena," and so on, he continued, pointing out a score of dignitaries. Count von Schmidt here announced the party would go fishing. The crowd trooped down upon the beach, across the dock to the far side of the channel, where a number of the club employees were hauling in a seine. A good haul of fish was made—smelt and flounders. Baskets had been provided by the club, and each one of the guests was presented with a basket of fish. A bluebill arises from the waters beyond the bluff and skims along within easy gunshot, churning the waters into spray with its flapping wings. Another and another low-flying bird tells by its "flap-flap" upon the waters under the bluff that it has taken alarm at the approach of the footsteps. Further down the bay a tiny island, formed by the ebbing tide, was covered with plover. Of a sudden they arose, uttering their shrill cries, and turning hither and yon like a compact mass in their flight, a solid phalanx of beauty. Again we go to the club house, with our basket of smelt. The party is taking a final bite of luncheon. With turkey and other delicacies and Havanas we are surfeited; but we get in the swim again, so to speak, and more turkey and more delicacies are put away. The carriages have been prepared for the homeward trip. It is 3:30. We ride around by the home of the Thwacking Fist. We don't see it. But we notice that his land is not overflowed. The Thwacking Fist must be a false alarm. We drive to Smeltzer's station. The train pulls out, and at 5:30 we alight at the S. P. depot here, having spent, as the society reporter would say, a most delightful day. W. J. Fay, who had been invited to be present and suggest the best means to be adopted, stated that from experience at his place he found that water had dropped at the rate of 4 inches a month during the last five years. Having examined the condition of things at the city water works, he suggested that the city immediately add 10 feet to the suction pipe with foot valve in each well. This, he assured the Trustees would tide the city over for the next six months, by which time other necessary arrangements could be made that would be more permanent. As a second suggestion for a permanent supply he recommended two deep well pump driven by a compound engine; the engine to be on top of ground. The single action pumps he considered best, and also compound engines of the old style stating that one compound engine on top of the ground and one 8-inch pump 24-inch stroke, at 60 strokes per minute, would raise 286 8-10 gallons of water per minute. Being asked if this style of pump would also give the necessary pressure in case of a fire, Mr. Fay stated that all of that could be arranged for. There was yet another way, and thus was to lower the present pumping pit. To cut out one pump and lower one-half of the pit, then cut out the other pump and lower that half of the pit; but then he would not recommend as the water was going continually lower. He would not recommend air compressors under existing circumstances. In some instances they were all right, but after viewing the situation at the power house he was sure they would be too expensive and of no use in 24 months. Asked as to the probable cost of the system which he recommended, stated that he could not say without looking up the matter further, but he board wished him to look up the proposition more fully he would do drawing up an entire set of plans and specifications. The Trustees were favorably impressed with the suggestion of Mr. Fay, and after some discussion A. L. Lewis, city engineer, instructed to immediately add the feet of suction pipes and foot valves. The board then adjourned to agree take up this matter at the regular meeting on Tuesday evening. The Trustees, together with M. Lewis, will visit Santa Ana to inspect the water system of that city in hopes of getting additional data. ELECTION BOARD. Full Enough to Secure the Job—There is $3 in It. Trustees at their meeting evening appointed the following board to serve for the next April 9th. The polls are at the City Hall at 6 o'clock will continue until noon. The compensation for Charles Hill, J. B. Rea, P. Zeyn, Theo. Rimpau, Alhborn, F. Backs, Jr., Mrs—Chas. Boege, Geo. A. Readman reported the solutions for February: For D; licenses, $176; lights, $637.70; less 5 per cent $31.89); balance in treasury. Delinquents reported: D; licenses, $4; lights, $52.45. Delinquents collected total, $47.50. Collected streets, $56.55; 5 per cent price, $53.72. Cahen reported the follow-on hand: General fund, improvement fund No. 1, 2, $186.21; No. 3, $534.27; 33. Pelung's financial report the Treasurer's figures. Shanley reported the collisions for infraction of his fees amounted to $9, and into the treasury. Under the head of unness, reported that he had Mons. Cassou relative to the city by him of $5, wages sustained by the muni-light wires while moving cassou was presented with Clerk said, and he replied it over to the contractor for collection—the consisting in the beginning to pay damages that might be the house moving. How assured the Clerk that if nor failed to pay, he himself the bill. Water of repairs to the city made necessary by damages made in use by the Olive Company, Herr Schorn notified the latter reported, to go have all repairs made, and bill. Discussed the matter of the supply—whether to deepen install deep-well pumps, had gone to Santa Ana, interviewed the city engineer C. Kellogg, who advised on the compressed-air propulsion stated that Kellogg had Santa Ana would put in sand pump with centrifugal jet into the mains. Schwencker understood MORE WATER DIVERSION. O. B. Fuller Takes out 800 Inches Three Miles Above the Durkee Ranch. Information reached this city on Tuesday that O. B. Fuller had constructed a ditch tapping the Santa Ana river some three miles above the Durkee ranch, and was diverting a stream estimated at 800 inches of water. Fuller has had a gang of men and teams at work digging the ditch, which is six feet wide on the bottom, four feet deep and eight feet on top, capable of carrying 1500 or 2000 inches. The diversion was promptly reported and it is expected the local water companies will bring an injunction preventing the further illegal taking of water. BUENA PARK. A runaway caused considerable excitement last Friday. Mrs. Kennedy was out for a drive with two of her sons. The harness broke and her horse became frightened. He ran and kicked back, caught his foot in the singletree and ran on three legs for a short distance; turned the corner on Grand avenue, broke loose from the buggy, overturning it and considerably smashing things. Though thrown out to the ground, neither Mrs. Kennedy nor the boys were hurt. It seemed as if every man in town ran, rode or biked to the scene of the accident, and nearly every one said they might easily have caught the horse "were circumstances favorable." The animal was slightly cut and is a trifle lame. The entertainment given by the Ladies' circle of the Methodist church last Thursday evening at the Centralia schoolhouse called forth a good attendance. The farce was well rendered and very laughable. Mrs. Macomber sang charmingly. The program would bear repeating, and would call a full house a second time.

Charley Doussourt and Carl Yaeger came up on Saturday from their mines situated in the mountains 15 miles east of San Juan, bringing with them a large eagle which had been caught in a coyote trap two days before. The trap had been placed near the carcass of a dead horse, about which the coyotes held high reel at night. None of the wary varmints could be trapped. On Thursday morning, while the boys were at work in the field a short distance away, a fluttering of great wings attracted their attention to the trap, and on coming up they discovered the eagle held tightly in the steel clasp by one of its talons. The bird was released and placed in a gunny sack. The boys started for this city that afternoon, coming by way of the Trabuca canyon. The eagle was captured near the spot where the bear was trapped some weeks ago. Bruin made off with the trap, which had been constructed out of a beer barrel, with sharpened steel spikes converging to the center, and molasses placed inside to attract him. The bear loosened the trap from its chain, and made off with it. Doussourt followed him for several days, it being easy to track him. Numerous places were seen where the bear had beaten down the brush with the trap, which encircled his head, the converging spikes preventing extrication. He could not be found and the boys are of opinion that he entered a cave and died. He was followed as far as Elsinore. The other suit is repliev in nature. On August 28, 1899, Erreca owned 205 tons of baled straw and 15 tons of loose straw, of the value $1100.

J Ross Clark of Los Angeles has received a letter from William J. Bryan, giving his schedule of dates for his contemplated tour of California. Bryan will arrive in Sacramento March 26, and will speak there for Oregon. Two weeks will be spent in Oregon and Washington, and he will then return to California, arriving in San Francisco April 7. He will leave that city on the same day for Fresno, and will speak there the same night. He will also speak at San Diego, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Phoenix, Ariz. A Russian walking in front of the Commercial hotel on Tuesday sought an argument with a party of bystanders by announcing that he had voted for Bryan three times, and I do not believe you are a naturalized citizen." To this the Russian replied with an opprobrious epithet, wherein the other "handed him a package" under the ear, when Mr. Russophile measured his length upon the sidewalk. End of the Bryan hard-times story. Two suits have been filed in Los Angeles entitled Miguel Erreca vs. Marius Meyer, which involve a quantity of hay at Santa Fe springs. The first action is for damages. Erreca alleges that during the crop season of 1899, and during the months of April and May, he was in possession of a certain piece of land, under written lease from Meyer, consisting of about 1100 acres. During those months the land was growing in wheat and barley, and at that time Meyer is alleged to have had a well bored on the land that upon completion flowed water in immense quantities. No care was used, it is alleged, to dispose of the water properly, and it flowed over about 50 acres of Erreca's growing grain, to his damage in $600. For this amount he now prays judgment against Meyer. The other suit is repliev in nature. On August 28, 1899, Erreca owned 205 tons of baled straw and 15 tons of loose straw, of the value $1100.

The bird was presented to Roman Wisser, who has it on exhibition. A large wire cage has been built for it, and it seems to have recovered from the effects of its trip. Doussourt brought up two rattlesnake skins, which he captured while the two snakes were in combat in the hills. He reports the mines, which produce copper, tin and gold, holding out good prospects. Doussourt and Yaeger returned to their mines on Tuesday. Trees Burned. Horticultural Commissioner Huntington burned 2000 peach trees at Richman & Mills' nursery at Fullerton on Saturday. The trees were a portion of an importation of 35,000, and were found on examination to be infested with the peach-tree borer.

The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce has adopted the following interesting resolution: "Whereas, The Board of Trustees of the city of Santa Ana has passed an ordinance to protect the sewers, requiring property owners to remove various kinds of trees from the public streets in which the sewers are laid, thus denuding the city of its chief beauty; and, Whereas, The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce have been appealed to, to take some action to have the ordinance rescinded; therefore, be it "Resolved, That it is the opinion of this board that if the sewer was properly constructed no necessity exists for the enforcement of any such ordinance; that if it is defective it should be uncovered and relaid where any unusual interference occurs from the roots of trees, and the trees saved; that the passage of such an ordinance is not supported by the experiences and customs of other cities, many of which have had sewers for half a century; that we, in fact, do not believe that there are any valid reasons for such an ordinance in this city, and that we respectfully request the Board of City Trustees to repeal the ordinance, and instead clean the sewers occasionally, as is necessary, to make them a health preserver instead of a disease breeder." Chief Engineer Perris of the Santa Fe railway company was in town on Monday. Mr. Perris may lay claim to the distinction of being one of the "oldest inhabitants," having traveled over what is now this city before the town was laid out. That important event occurred in 1857—43 years ago. He says he was a "young fellow" at that time, and well remembers, while walking after his surveyors' wagon, shooting rabbits with a revolver, that the wild cattle, with which the country abounded, made after him. Mr. Perris made the first surveys of the reservoir sites in this section for the State a number of years ago, and is an authority upon their capacity and availability for purposes of irrigation. He has been chief engineer for the Santa Fe since its entree into Southern California a dozen years ago, and like many of the old-time men of note throughout the State, is full of activity and younger than many men half his years. "How's Bob Evans?" asked Frank venturing to change the subject: "He's all right. He can lick man in the world," the tars replied. Frank reports having a way-up aboard the Iowa, and will never leave his trip to Uncle Sam's biggest ship. Gen. E. Bouton writes to the Los Angeles Times as follows regarding underground flow of water: "I notice that the Herald of year day seems to fully discredit that any of our underground flow water came from east of the Sierra range of mountains. As early as 1869, William R. [then a resident of Anaheim] was quite a noted scientist and cutter to scientific journals, after numerous tests and observations garding the underground flow of in Southern California, and observing several extensive water streams rising from the bed of the ocean, notably one near Ree Beach, and another in the southern direction from Long Beach pressed the opinion that much water must have come from the Lake Basin or Grand Plateau between the Rocky Mountains and the Sahara." "He stated to me that it was known that but a small part of water from this great water supply some 290,000 square miles in area carried to the sea by the Colorado on the south and the Columbia north, and that he was satisfied several years' study of the subject much of the water that had been counted for was finding its way Pacific ocean by underground pass through the Sierras or Coast Ranges." "Since that time, virtually this theory has been advanced by whose judgment would seem entirely consideration. Commodore states that he has explored most of the Grand Plateau and fully concludes additional data."
