Across the River from Rincon, Along a Road Lined with Great Cotton-woods that Tower their Heads Loftily. The Durkee ranch, green and inviting, represents the gem of one of the prettiest valleys in the State. From Rincon village the course to the palatial ranch house lies two miles and a half in a roundabout way across the river. From the lofty structure spanning the stream one sees a majestic volume of water sweeping on toward the valley twenty miles below. Down under the trees near the water's edge, a picnic party is spending the day on the grassy sward. The Stars and Stripes and Union Jack are entwined, and as the Farmers' club drives over 'in all sorts of conveyances (one long procession of jolly folks off for an outing) the picnickers below send up a cheer, accompanied by a waving of flags, which is returned with a will by those whose destination is a mile or more further on. They are celebrating the Queen's birthday. We are off on the club's annual picnic. Along the roadway giant cottonwoods lift their green tops loftily. The valley is one wide expanse of lovely verdure. The trees have a color of deep rich green. The alfalfa looks well. Crops of hay are large. The lands are damp. The river winds its way in and out of the valley tortuously. This is the spot where Judge Silent and his syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists sought to develop 5000 inches of water. The story was given out first that the water would be piped to Los Alamitos, and then that it would be run on the San Joaquin ranch. Both yarns lingers on the hillsides. Overhead the snowy squadrons dissipate themselves into cloudland. The sun shines brightly. The day is one as near perfection as we have them in Southern California. Through the canyon there blows from the sea a most delightful breeze. Existence here must be one continual pleasure. Over the river we drive to Durkee's. Down under the trees, where the water cress grows in a tangled mass about the edges of the stream, are the picnickers celebrating her Majesty's birthday. All picnickers look alike to them, and to us too, and shouts of recognition and waving of flags and cheering fill the air. "Where is Durkeeville?" asks one of the passengers. The driver points over to a bunch of cottonwoods, peppers and other stately trees two miles away. The spot is green and inviting. Here we pass through the famous alfalfa patch, and further along is the oat hay. Arriving at the point of the party's destination a crowd is found to have already gathered. It is 11:30. Don David Yorba's smoking beeves and mutton heads we detected a short distance away, and a delicious aroma seems to fill the atmosphere. For beeves' heads are, as Little Johnny would say, the finest things in the land. Under the cedars at the ranch house Mr. Crowther has erected long lines of tables, and here, shortly before 1 o'clock, the feast begins. Mr. McPherson, representing the Orange company, is also on hand, and smiles a pleasant welcome to all. Five beeves' heads and fourteen sheeps' heads are placed before the hungry multitude. There is, besides, cold fowl, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, cakes, pies, coffee, and a hundred other edibles, the sight of which LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST Water Suit. The case of the Anaheim Water company and the Santa Ana irrigation company versus O. B. F. was on Wednesday last argued and omitted in Judge Noyes' Superior Court at Riverside. The plaintiff seeks to attain a temporary injunction, restricting the defendant from taking water from the Santa Ana river, near Rimpending settlement of the suit. diversion is made some three miles above Durkee's, about 1000 inches taken from the river. After purchase of the Durkee property, the two plaintiff companies, take along with it 1000 inches of water longing to that gentleman as a rip owner, Fuller proceeded to dig a hole and appropriate water, and it is said example will be followed by other successful in the case. That Fuller's diversion is likely there can be no doubt. He will be strained from taking water, and other chaps who are anxious to follow his example will probably have to elsewhere for irrigating water. Newman. Deputy United States Marshal McCulloch arrived in town on Friday morning for the purpose of taking session of the stock of goods in Fresno Newman's store. Since the assignment issued at the instance of Schorn, of the Olive Milling company on May 1st, the goods have been in session of the constable. The Angeles wholesalers whom Neva defrauded thereupon threw the money into the United States courts on vengeance proceedings. Thus Schorn stead of recovering all, or nearly all, the amount due him, will receive... Along the roadway giant cottonwoods lift their green tops loftily. The valley is one wide expanse of lovely verdure. The trees have a color of deep rich green. The alfalfa looks well. Crops of hay are large. The lands are damp. The river winds its way in and out of the valley tortuously. This is the spot where Judge Silent and his syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists sought to develop 5000 inches of water. The story was given out first that the water would be piped to Los Alamitos, and then that it would be run on the San Joaquin ranch. Both yarns were shortly denied. The scheme was probably one to float bonds, and develop water without reference to any one particular purchaser. Once the water was procured there would be offers for it a-plenty. Possibly Pomona would be in the market for it. Probably there was a large amount of "wind" about the talk, yet it disturbed the dreams of the peaceful valley folk who had been in undisputed possession of their water rights for forty years. The scheme backed by Judge Silent meant nothing more nor less than a confiscation of their water. At best it meant a costly lawsuit, win or lose. The statement was sent out also that the amount of water taken from the river by the two valley companies would be immediately curtailed. There were not lacking newspapers in Orange county to cry this scheme about the streets. The scheme was to purchase Durkee's property, and thus acquire his riparian rights to 1000 inches of water in the river, and secure as well the valuable damp lands where an additional supply might be developed. The rights of the valley irrigators might go whistling down the wind. So their slumers were rudely disturbed, and for a time there was a deal of uncertainty and concern with reference to what the future might bring forth. But one fine morning Silent awoke and found that the valley irrigators, ever alert and jealous in guarding their water rights, had turned a trick upon him very neatly. His option upon the 1400 acres comprising the Durkee ranch lapsed. He had already in his pocket another deal with Durkee whereby the ranch might be controlled by his syndicate with a lesser amount of cash than the first required. The two valley irrigation companies stepped in, and dealt him a solar plexus by taking for themselves an option for the land. Before the syndicate people had recovered from their shock, the papers perfecting the title were drawn and passed upon by the abstract company, the initial payment was made, and the great ranch, with all its valuable water rights, became the property of the Anaheim and Santa Ana water companies. The purchase price was $100,000. Mr Van Dyke, the hydraulic engineer, afterward said it was the cheapest water buy he ever heard of. The purchase was probably the greatest stroke of enterprise ever consummated in a water deal in Southern California. The next mail after the deal was made brought a $2000 check from the syndicate, to Durkee, as an offer to bind the new option. seems to fill the atmosphere. For beeves' heads are, as Little Johnny would say, the finest things in the land. Under the cedars at the ranch house Mr. Crowther has erected long lines of tables, and here, shortly before 1 o'clock, the feast begins. Mr. McPherson, representing the Orange company, is also on hand, and smiles a pleasant welcome to all. Five beeves' heads and fourteen sheeps' heads are placed before the hungry multitude. There is, besides, cold fowl, pickles, hard-boiled eggs, cheese, cakes, pies, coffee, and a hundred other edibles, the sight of which maketh the heart rejoice. After dinner Mr. Fay, President of the club, introduced Senator White, who spoke very happily, and with his usual force and eloquence. The selection of the Senator for this task was a very happy thought indeed. In the water tangle of a dozen years ago (now very happily forever at rest) the Senator was the attorney for the Yorbas, who resisted the formation of the irrigation district. How well the Senator resisted is a matter quite well remembered by many of the old-timers—quite well remembered indeed. Talk about water rights at Yorba, and a man will have an argument on his hands in no time. When, therefore, the Senator was selected to deliver the address, none were closer listeners than the good people of Yorba. Senor de la Guerra took a stand directly in front of the speaker, not to lose a word. He was the first to applaud, and clapped his hands the loudest at the speaker's close. The Senator said he had known the people of the valley for forty years. Some of the first acquaintances he had made in this part of the State were residents of the valley. He spoke of the wonderful development made during those years, and the still greater burdens the future has for all. His reference to older citizens whom he had known in his youth, and who had passed to their reward on high, was touching, and was listened to in silence by the concourse as the Senator paid to them an eloquent tribute. The address was short, but was characteristic, and worthy of the honorable gentleman whose eloquence has made him famous throughout the country. Short addresses were made by Mr. Melrose and Mr. Hunter; and when calls rent the air for Mr. Cargill, who managed the picnic so successfully, that gentleman was observed to be making a hasty and somewhat undignified escape under the trees in the distance. The young folks filled in after noon with dancing and games. M. L. Rogers and George A. Hunter danced a waltz. Rogers says Hunter can't dance a little bit, and he'll never dance with him again. Some young men put in a half hour jumping. Weights were used and a number jumped about 9 feet. A young fellow named Pine, who is said to live between Rincon and Chino, picked up the weights and jumped over 12 feet. The world's record for jumping with weights is 12 feet 9½ inches. Pine jumped several times, beating his performance each time, until a measurement showed he had jumped some Newman. Deputy United States Marshal McCulloch arrived in town on Friday morning for the purpose of taking session of the stock of goods in Florida Newman's store. Since the assignment issued at the instance of Schorn, of the Olive Milling company on May 1st, the goods have been in session of the constable. The Angeles wholesalers whom Nefrauded thereupon threw the money into the United States courts on vency proceedings. Thus Schorn stead of recovering all, or nearly pro rata along with the rest of mourners. Mr. McCulloch insisted Viet Benz as keeper of the money; there is probably $150 worth of it in the establishment, and it is done if $100 can be realized for it at auction. The sale of the goods occur probably this week or next. Mining. C. H. Gosch, who was formerly known and highly respected resides this city, writes from Los Angeles he has again gone into the mines, at which he has achieved new success. He writes: "About three years ago I returned my old love, buying an interest mine out in the desert, at which been very busy ever since, and better success than anything undertaken in this country." Mr. Gosch's many friends here will be glad to learn that he is well, and will indulge her may strike it rich. Earthquakes. Charley Clark came in from Jacinto country on Saturday, one to his wife and babies who are ceded at Grandpa Snodgrass at that End. Charley says it shakes to at San Jacinto to keep his family Last Thursday they had a good strong shakes. He attriques quakes to explosions of nature due to the boring for oil in these wells in this and the Los Angeles district. He believes a connection two sections, and wells in the lower levels drain from the higher a vacuum is set in which gas forms, and later they have quakes at San Jacinto regular thing. Charley returns mountains on Monday. Democrats. The Democratic county concludes following delegates at State convention: At larger McFadden, R. H.

Baker; instructed delegates to vote and work for McFadden as a delegate to this Democratic convention. Mr. Knapp's Plane. In our reference to Mr Knapp last weekthe types made us tract of 20 acres, whereas we have read 38 acres. Mr Knapp well, which is bored to a depth... by the abstract company, the initial payment was made, and the great ranch, with all its valuable water rights, became the property of the Anaheim and Santa Ana water companies. The purchase price was $100,000. Mr. Van Dyke, the hydraulic engineer, afterward said it was the cheapest water buy he ever heard of. The purchase was probably the greatest stroke of enterprise ever consummated in a water deal in Southern California. The next mail after the deal was made brought a $2000 check from the syndicate, to Durkee, as an offer to bind the new option. Here is where the Farmers' club decided to picnic on Thursday last. A special train was chartered over the Sante Fe. Stops were made at Fullerton, this city, Orange and Yorba. Delegations came aboard at each place. The special train consisted of five cars and a baggage car. There were probably 200 people in the party. The train was in charge of Conductor W. H. Mills, who runs the Santa Fe limited East. It was his day off, and he determined to take a run down along the kite-shaped track. Engineer R. W. Kelly was in the cab. Among the notable guests aboard were Stephen M. White and wife of Los Angeles, Traveling Passenger Agent Nat M. Brigham of Chicago, Chief Engineer Perris of San Bernardino and a host of others. Governor Gage was looked for, but, owing to the serious illness of his son, could not be present. The train pulled out of this city shortly before 10, an hour late. We never knew of a special train being on time in our life. At Orange the Santa Ana band was taken aboard. Sweet strains of music were heard during the entire day. Rincon was reached at 11. Here a dozen conveyances were provided for carrying the party to Durkeeville. Lunch baskets were piled aboard the commissary wagon, the band discoursed a lively march, and the procession of rigs, bicyclists and citizens in carriages set out for the picnic grounds. The echoes of the quaint old town were awakened by the music and merriment. The population of the village was out en masse to catch a glimpse of the picnickers. Rincon boasts two very handsome schoolhouses. The town lies in a valley surrounded by hills. In the higher altitudes the fog which has come up during the night still The young folks mixed in the noon with dancing and games. M. L. Rogers and George A. Hunter danced a waltz. Rogers says Hunter can't dance a little bit, and he'll never dance with him again. Some young men put in a half hour jumping. Weights were used and a number jumped about 9 feet. A young fellow named Pine, who is said to live between Rincon and Chino, picked up the weights and jumped over 12 feet. The world's record for jumping with weights is 12 feet 9½ inches. Pine jumped several times, beating his performance each time, until a measurement showed he had jumped some inches over 12 feet. He said he could beat this performance. At 4 o'clock the time for leave-taking arrived. The party climbed into carriages and were driven over the same road it had traveled in the morning. The Stars and Stripes and Union Jack were found to be still at the picnic under the oaks in the river bottom. At Rincon the train was in waiting. The party boarded the cars, Engineer Kelly pulled the throttle, and the train flew through the canyon faster than many a train had done before. From Rincon to Orange is 19 miles. The run was made in 25 minutes. At Orange the train ran upon the Y, and backed into the station. Here the Orange contingent and the Santa Ana band alighted. Cheers for the band and for the club were given. Then the homeward journey began. Continued on Fourth page. MICA makes short roads. GREASE food for everything that runs on wheels. Sold Everywhere.

NUMBER 32 SPECIAL NOTES OF INTEREST. Water Suit. In the case of the Anaheim Valley company and the Santa Ana Irrigation company versus O. B. Fuller on Wednesday last argued and subpoenaed in Judge Noyes' Superior Court riverside. The plaintiffs seek to obtain temporary injunction, restrain the defendant from taking water in the Santa Ana river, near Rincon, during settlement of the suit. The motion is made some three miles north of Durkee's, about 1000 inches below the river. After the case of the Durkee property by two plaintiff companies, taking with it 1000 inches of water being sent to that gentleman as a riparian, Fuller proceeded to dig a ditch appropriate water, and it is said his people will be followed by others if successful in the case. Fuller's diversion is illegal can be no doubt. He will be relied upon taking the water, and the chaps who are anxious to follow example will probably have to go where for irrigating water. Newman. Deputy United States Marshal G. F. Bulloch arrived in town on Friday morning for the purpose of taking possession of the stock of goods in Francisman's store. Since the attachment issued at the instance of L. Burn, of the Olive Milling company, May 1st, the goods have been in position of the constable. The Los Angeles wholesalers whom Newman audited thereupon threw the matter to the United States courts on insolvency proceedings. Thus Schorn, in all of recovering all, or nearly all, of amount due him, will receive his companies asked for a temporary injunction against the diversion by the defendants of the water of the Santa Ana river onto lands which drain into Mill creek. Messrs. Keech and Melrose argued the case for the plaintiffs, and E. W. Freeman for the defendants. Judge Noyes took the case under advisement, and on Thursday went out and looked the situation over for himself. That course would increase the probability of a favorable decision for the plaintiffs, because anybody can see that the seepage from those lands is into Mill creek; but on the other hand the court may think the loss of water to the Durkee ranch by such diversion would not be sufficiently serious, while the regular trial for a permanent injunction is pending, to justify the granting of a temporary injunction. Of course the permanent injunction is the great desideratum, and there is scarcely a possibility of the water companies failing to get that. It sounds ridiculous for some of the newspapers to talk about the suit "promising to be one of the hardest fought water lights ever had in Southern California." It is too much like bluff for the purpose of scaring the prosecution. The only possible show for the defense to win is to pervert the facts and deceive the courts, which is extremely hazardous; and, with such a bare possibility for success (to say nothing about the dishonesty of the undertaking), it is not to be expected that the attorney for the defense will encourage his clients to waste their money in a hopeless struggle. Oil In La Habra. Jack Hunter was over from Fullerton a day or two ago and informed us he had been made an offer for the purchase of his forty-acre tract at La Habra by a Los Angeles oil company. His land is surrounded on three sides by producing wells. He refused to sell and may in future bore for oil himself. William Hill who owns an extensive tract at La Habra, upon which he has companies asked for a temporary injunction against the diversion by the defendants of the water of the Santa Ana river onto lands which drain into Mill creek.

RESERVOIR SITES-IRRIGATION Congress Asked to Give $250,000 for irrigation Surveys — Work of the Geological Survey. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE] The great importance to the West of the work which the irrigation branch of the geological survey is doing is perhaps not as generally understood as it should be. For some years the survey has been working along on small appropriations, making stream measurements and reservoir surveys, but if the West is to obtain its full development through irrigation, this work should be pushed and reservoir sites should be determined, surveyed and set aside, subject to development by private capital or government enterprise. Persons familiar with railroad engineering know that nature plays some queer pranks on individuals and that what appears an idea" place for water storage, may in fact be incapable of holding water, while a site which seems to even the careful observer to be anything but suitable for water storage, may in reality afford a situation for a reservoir of great proportions. The general mistake of the average person, the geological surveyors say, is in thinking that a canyon with steep sides and a narrow neck, suitable for a dam site, will make a practicable reservoir. There are many such sites and the dam construction would not be difficult, but the slopes are too precipitate and the amount of water impounded would not be sufficient to warrant the construction of the dam. The best sites must include a neck, of course, which can be readily dammed, while the slopes should be very gradual and the fall of the river slight—perhaps imperceptible to the naked eye—thus insuring a very large surface for storage. Newman. Deputy United States Marshal G. F. Bulloch arrived in town on Friday evening for the purpose of taking possession of the stock of goods in Francis Bulloch's store. Since the attachment was issued at the instance of L. Burn, of the Olive Milling company, July 1st, the goods have been in position of the constable. The Los Angeles wholesalers whom Newman included thereon threw the matter to the United States courts on insolvency proceedings. Thus Schorn, in full recovering all, or nearly all, of amount due him, will receive his gratuity along with the rest of the earners. Mr. McCulloch installed Bentz took an inventory of the goods. There is probably $150 worth of stock the establishment, and it is doubtful that can be realized for it at publication. The sale of the goods will probably this week or next. Mining. H. Gosch, who was formerly a well-known and highly respected resident of San Diego, writes from Los Angeles that has again gone into the mining business, at which he has achieved no little success. He writes: About three years ago I returned to hold love, buying an interest in a mine out in the desert, at which I have been very busy ever since, and with better success than anything else I ever took in this country." Mr. Gosch's many friends hereabouts be glad to learn that he is doing well, and will indulge the hope that he may strike it rich. Si senor! Earthquakes. Charley Clark came in from the San Antonio county on Saturday, on a visit to his wife and babies who, are domiciled at Grandpa Snodgrass' at the West End. Charley says it shakes too much San Jacinto to keep his family there. Last Thursday they had a couple of good strong shakes. He attributes the shakes to explosions of natural gas, due to the boring for oil in the numerous wells in this and the Los Angeles district. He believes a stratum of oil connects the two sections, and when the hills in the lower levels drain the oil from the higher a vacuum is created, which gas forms, and later explodes. They have quakes at San Jacinto as a regular thing. Charley returned to the mountains on Monday. Democrats. The Democratic county convention last session at Santa Ana some days ago elected the following delegates to the State convention: At large, W. M. McFadden, R. H. Norton, Henry Neill, Sugar Johnson, Horace Head, M. Nisian, Belmont Perry, F. O. Daniel, Robert J. Blee, W. H. Spurgeon. The delegates were instructed for Bryan. A resolution was adopted at the suggestion of D. M. Baker, instructing the delegates to vote and work for W. M. McFadden as a delegate to the national democratic convention. Mr. Knapp's Place. In our reference to Mr. Knapp's place last week the types made us say he had tract of 20 acres, whereas it should have read 38 acres. Mr. Knapp's new cell, which is bored to a depth of 137 feet, contains that language of Section 1094 of the Political Code, as amended by the act above mentioned, provides that person, the geological surveyors say, is in thinking that a canyon with steep sides and a narrow neck, suitable for a dam site, will make a practicable reservoir. There are many such sites and the dam construction would not be difficult, but the slopes are too precipitate and the amount of water impounded would not be sufficient to warrant the construction of the dam. The best sites must include a neck, of course, which can be readily dammed, while the slopes should be very gradual and the fall of the river slight—perhaps imperceptible to the naked eye—thus insuring a very large surface for storage. The descent of some rivers is so rapid, that while to all appearances they afford good storage facilities, a dam of practicable height would not back up sufficient water to warrant construction. The catchment area of reservoirs as well as the annual flow of streams must likewise be considered. All these points can only be determined definitively by the surveyor's instruments, and so, if it is desired to have definite information upon which to work, either as regards private investment or ultimate government construction, it is extremely important that this preliminary work should progress as rapidly as possible. Congress is being asked for a good-sized appropriation this session with which to carry on this work, in amount $250,000, and the whole West, being vitally interested, will watch for a favorable action. Hostility to irrigation legislation has developed in the East from time to time; but broad-minded expressions among men liberal enough to see that what builds up one part of the country must reflexibly help all other parts are also heard. It is pleasing to note that such a far-eastern paper as the Boston Transcript recognizes the fact that irrigation appropriations for the West would be national investments, in the interest of, and for the benefit of all the people of the United States. Quite a part of the annual outlay of the nation, the Transcript says, is an investment rather than an expenditure. Public buildings are direct investments, obvious to everybody, because they save rental to the government. In the case of certain other appropriations, the investment aspect, while just as genuine, is so indirect as to escape attention. An appropriation for the improvement of Boston harbor would be an indirect investment. The cost of transportation is one of the great public charges, the rates of which bear directly upon the fortunes of everybody. A deep channel to Boston makes possible large ships and therefore low freight rates. The government in spending money for such improvements makes easier the future burden of its citizens, and as the interests of the citizen and the State are identical, this becomes an investment pure and simple. It is the same story, continues the Transcript, with all worthy river and harbor improvements; they are national investments. Irrigation expenses, in so far as they provide for permanent works, come under the same head. National expenditures of the investment sort should be encouraged, especially when the country is so prosperous that Mr. Knapp's Place. In our reference to Mr. Knapp's place last week the types made us say he had tract of 20 acres, whereas it should have read 38 acres. Mr. Knapp's new well, which is bored to a depth of 137 feet, yields a very fine volume of water, which has already transformed portions of the place into spots of verdure. The tract will be planted to walnut and apricot trees, and the lower 10 acres devoted to potatoes and cabbage. A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard st., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this royal cure: "It soon removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something can scarely remember doing before I feel like sounding its praises throughout the universe." So will every one who tries Dr. King's New Discovery for any trouble of the throat, chest or lungs. Price 50c and $1. Trial bottles free at P. A. Derge's drug store; every bottle guaranteed. The Fuller Case. From the Orange Post. The case of the A. U. W. Co. and S. A. V. I. Co. vs. O. B. Fuller et al. was heard by Judge Noyes in the Superior Court of Riverside county on Wednesday of last week. The plaintiff water The Petitioner contends that the language of Section 1094 of the Political Code, as amended by the act above mentioned, provides that 'such registration should begin on the first day of January of such year, and shall be in progress at all times except during forty days immediately preceding any election, when it shall cease as to electors residing in the territory within which such election is to be held.' All electors, for any purpose whatsoever, were in the legislative mind at the time of the enactment of the law, and therefore, the law is applicable to school elections. We are of opinion, however, that the Legislature employed the word 'any,' in the sentence we have above quoted from the law, for the purpose of including municipal, or city, as well as general elections within the purview of the act. "We are, therefore, of the opinion that the application for the writ should be denied, and it is so ordered." In this county only about 5 per cent of the voters have registered this year, and it is said that this proportion holds good in almost every county in the State.
