MRS. BIXBY'S RIGHT TO WATER She Gets a Perpetual Stream of 100 Inches, but Complaint Is Made Relative to the Manner in Which She Takes It from the Ditch. At the meeting of the Directors of the water board on Saturday afternoon Supt. Woodward made formal complaint about the manner in which the Bixby's take water from the company's ditch running through their lands above Horseshoe Bend. Recently the board, in executive session, compromised a lawsuit brought by Mrs. Bixby against the company, in which she maintained her right to a portion of the water taken by the company from the river. The lawsuit had been hanging fire for a number of years, and on its initial trial before Judge Towner of the Orange county Superior Court some four years ago it was held that Mrs. Bixby was possessed of rights in the premises. Recently the board compromised by granting Mrs. Bixby a perpetual right to 100 inches of water. Supt. Woodward complained of the manner of taking water by the Bixbys. He said a rail was thrown across the ditch, the side cut, and enough brush thrown into the ditch to raise the water high enough to get it out. This was a bad practice, in his opinion, and should, he said, be discontinued. There was little to show how much water is taken, nor was the company served with notice when water is to be taken. Water had been taken from the ditch and turned down all night into the corn, and great waste resulted. Mr. Cargill (in seeming ignorance of the matter), turning to Mr. Crowther—Mr. Crowther, do you know anything about these rights? Mr. Woodward here read his instructions issued by the Directors to deliver the Bixbys 100 inches of water, for "irrigation, stock and domestic purposes," their right to be perpetual, in consideration of the compromise of Mrs. Bixby's lawsuit. Mr. Crowther, replying to Mr. Cargill, said, slowly and solemnly: "I never would have signed such a contract in my life. We deliver the Yorbas 200 inches and Mrs. Bixby 100 inches, even though we have nothing left for ourselves." Mr. Pierotti (addressing Mr. Crowther) voiced tract ($150) be remitted. The season had been a hard one, and the drought had been against him. He wrote that he had rented the land in good faith, had worked faithfully, had broken the land and done the best he could, yet had secured no return. He paid the company $450, and asked that the balance remaining due on the total amount of $600 be remitted. Mr. Crowther (in some surprise)—Was this land rented to him conditionally? Herr Nebelung—He took his chances the same as anyone else. Now that he has come out loser I don't see what the company has got to do with it. Mr. Pierotti was disposed to deal leniently with Sherman. He had paid the company $450, he said—that was enough. Sherman was out his time and labor. He did not know the man at all, but he was in favor of letting him off. Mr. Pierotti (turning to Nebelung)—Write out a resolution remitting the amount. Nebelung—No, sir. I'm against it. He took his chances when he rented the land, the same as others. If he lost, he lost. Mr. Crowther (who has a kindly heart) said he did not think Sherman had got $450 out of the property. The dry year had been a peculiar hardship to him. (After meditating a while)—Let's let him off. If he surrenders the lease (which expires Jan. I next) I believe we can let him off. Nebelung (emulating the weather-cock)—O, I believe if he surrenders the lease (impressively) we can let him off. Yes. [Now wouldn't that jar you?] Crowther (to Nebelung)—Write out the motion to remit this amount. Nebelung (positively)—No. Meantime Secretary Blennerhassett had been writing. Pretty soon he read a resolution remitting the amount. It was moved by Bradford, seconded by Pierotti, and carried—all present voting for it. A letter was read from Attorney Carter of Los Angeles, representing H. Eumelien, a Catholic pastor, stating that four shares of stock, formerly located on Mrs. Lecroq's land west of town, now stood in his name, and that the Secretary of the company refused to deliver a certificate until the stock was located. Mrs. Lecroq had disposed of her place to one Olsen. The stock and the evidence, for there could be no serious contention of the right of the Bixbys to the use of at least the 100 inches of water which they had been using for more than thirty years, as found by the court. The settlement was one of inestimable advantage to the company from every point of view, and was not the least of the many services rendered to the company by its then President, William J. Fay. The proposed settlement was thoroughly discussed by the board in and out of session, and was most heartily approved by them, and as soon as the agreement was executed it was spread upon the public records of the county. It will be found recorded in book 46 of deeds, page 374, in the office of the County Recorder. That portion of the agreement relating to the use of water is as follows: The parties of the first part, in consideration thereof, shall have the right to receive from the Cajon canal, free of charge forever, water for irrigation, for stock and for domestic purposes, on the said Bixby ranch, to an amount not exceeding one hundred (100) inches measured under a four-inch pressure, and whenever the quantity of water flowing in said canal is greater than the needs of the stockholders of the said Anaheim Union Water company, then the parties of the first part may have an additional quantity, in excess of said one hundred inches as required. And to enable the said parties of the first part to obtain the said water from the said canal as herein provided, the said party of the second part will make, upon the said Bixby ranch, at such points as may be designated by the parties of the first part, three connections with the said Anaheim Union Water company's ditch, and prepare gates therein, and keep the said gates and connections in repair and in proper condition for use for taking the water as herein provided. The said gates shall be constructed in accordance with plans and specifications to be prepared by the said party of the second part, and under its sole direction, but in such manner as to render them fit and proper for the use aforesaid. It is further agreed that the said parties of the first part will conform to any reasonable regulation that may be made by the said Anaheim Union Water company with respect to notice to be given of the times when the said parties of the first part may require the said water, to the extent aforesaid, or so much thereof as they may require, so as to interfere as little as possible with the proper distribution among the Mr. Woodward here read his instructions issued by the Directors to deliver the Bixby 100 inches of water, for "irrigation, stock and domestic purposes," their right to be perpetual in consideration of the compromise of Mrs. Bixby's lawsuit. Mr. Crowther, replying to Mr. Cargill, said, slowly and solemnly: "I never would have signed such a contract in my life. We deliver the Yorbas 200 inches and Mrs. Bixby 100 inches, even though we have nothing left for ourselves." Mr. Pierotti (addressing Mr. Crowther), sternly—You had to settle that lawsuit, didn't you? Judge Towner held that she had an unquestioned water right, and the suit was settled on the basis of giving her 100 inches. I suggest that the Superintendent see that no more than 100 inches be delivered, and that he see that all the water taken is used. The question of Mrs. Bixby's right to 100 inches of water having thus been brought forth from the dark recesses of the executive session, was permitted to again relapse into obscurity, so far as the average stockholder is concerned, there to remain until it is dragged forth again. Supt. Woodward's monthly report was submitted as follows: August 1st, 1900 To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company—Gentlemen: My expenses for the month of July are as follows: Regular employees.....$450 00 To labor constructing 2980 feet of cement ditch on the Bradford and Wilshire line.....$301 39 To 119 bbls Gillingham cement at $3.00.....$428 40 REPAIRS.

Recently he had to replace a section of 20 feet of it with vitrified pipe. Now the sand box is leaking so badly that a great waste of water results. He recommended that the sand box be withdrawn and repairs to the pipe made, or that it be replaced with vitrified pipe. Mr. Cargill said there was a constant waste of at least 15 inches of water into the Hatfield place. The Meantime Secretary Blennerhassett had been writing. Pretty soon he read a resolution remitting the amount. It was moved by Bradford, seconded by Pierotti, and carried—all present voting for it. A letter was read from Attorney Carter of Los Angeles, representing H. Eumelien, a Catholic pastor, stating that four shares of stock, formerly located on Mrs. Lecroq's land west of town, now stood in his name, and that the Secretary of the company refused to deliver a certificate until the stock was located. Mrs. Lecroq had disposed of her place to one Olsen. The stock now stood in the name of Eumelien, who desired to locate it upon the same place. Secretary Blennerhassett's explanation revealed a peculiar state of affairs. He said the stock had been originally located upon the Lecroq place, and water delivered upon it, although the land was outside the district. This discovery had not been made, however, until after water had been for a long time delivered upon it, and the company, rather than put a hardship upon the lady, had continued to deliver water upon the stock. Mrs. Lecroq sold the place. The stock had passed to a third party, who now sought to locate it upon the land, but he had refused to issue the certificate, holding that, insmuch as the land was outside the district, no water could be legally delivered upon it. Herr Nebelung explained the case, being, he said, familiar with it. He upheld the Secretary in refusing to issue the certificate, and held that no water could be delivered upon the land. The matter was, after discussion, referred to Attorney Melrose. The board here went into executive session, which continued for two hours. An application was presented by Mr. Cargill from Walter Eyman, Mr. Schellens and H. E. Carter for the lease of the company's reservoir tract at La Habra for oil development purposes. This is the property which Sherman, at the last meeting of the board, attempted to get an option upon. The matter was referred to Cargill and Bradford for investigation and report. In answer to a request for information regarding Mrs. Bixby's water right, the attorney of the company says: The complaint in the case of Bixby vs. the Anaheim Union Water company asked for judgment that plaintiffs were entitled to 300 inches of water from the Santa Ana river as riparian owners, also that they be entitled to be supplied with water from the company's ditches on the same terms and conditions as stockholders. The decree of the court, rendered December 21st, 1896, gave the plaintiffs, as riparian owners, the right to the reasonable use of the waters of the river to irrigate the 300 acres of land which the court found to be irrigable, said right to be exercised by means of the old ditch known as the "Bixby ditch." The company was also required to furnish plaintiffs with water from the Cajon canal to irrigate 50 acres of land which could not be irrigated from the Bixby.

complained of the trouble caused by the brea pipe at Hatfield's corner. Recently he had to replace a section of 20 feet of it with vitrified pipe. Now the sand box is leaking so badly that a great waste of water results. He recommended that the sand box be withdrawn and repairs to the pipe made, or that it be replaced with vitrified pipe. Mr. Cargill said there was a constant waste of at least 15 inches of water into the Hatfield place. The zanjero usually turns 75 inches into the pipe to get 50 inches out. Mr. Bradford looked up in surprise, and said impressively: "That ought to be stopped." Mr. Crowther (looking up from reading the Superintendent's report)—Mr. Superintendent, I see you have an item here of 17¼ feet of 30-inch pipe. Where was that put in? At McFadden's? The Superintendent replied in the affirmative, and an argument ensued between Crowther and Pierotti relative to the question whether the company should stand the cost of the pipe, or whether McFadden himself should pay for it. The pipe was used to afford McFadden access to his property on Placentia avenue, the old crossing having gone out. Pierotti held McFadden should be charged with the pipe. Crowther held to the opposite view. After a running-fire argument for some time, the matter was dropped, the company standing the expense of the pipe. A letter was read from Mrs. Josephine des Granges "notifying and requiring the company to at once cease entirely the use of its ditch running along the north line of her property." Mr. Crowther (testily)—We receive more ridiculous letters from the des Granges than all other stockholders in the company combined. If she wants us to abandon the ditch, let her begin suit. She has threatened it. Let her begin suit. Mrs. des Granges maintains the ditch is on her property. The company maintains it is not. The letter was ordered to the file. A communication was received from R. K. Sherman of Garden Grove, asking that the balance due the company by him for rent of the La Habra reser- supplied with water from the company's ditches on the same terms and conditions as stockholders. The decree of the court, rendered December 21st, 1896, gave the plaintiffs, as riparian owners, the right to the reasonable use of the waters of the river to irrigate the 300 acres of land which the court found to be irrigable, said right to be exercised by means of the old ditch known as the "Bixby ditch." The company was also required to furnish plaintiffs with water from the Cajon canal to irrigate 50 acres of land which could not be irrigated from the Bixby ditch, upon terms as favorable as the stockholders of the company. The court found that for more than thirty years before the commencement of the action water was diverted from the river and conveyed upon the Bixby lands by the old Bixby ditch. The quantity of water carried by that ditch varied from 75 to 250 inches. Engineer Keilogg and Mr. Crowther, witnesses for the company, testified that it had a capacity of about 75 inches; Engineer Rogers, another witness for the company, said it had a capacity of about 100 inches. An appeal to the Supreme Court was taken by the company, but before the appeal could be heard a settlement of the matter was had, chiefly through the instrumentality of Mr. Fay, the president of the company. It may be stated here that the Bixbys were preparing to begin another suit for damages sustained by them by reason of the dumping of the sand from the waste gate of the Cajon canal on their lands for a number of years. It transpired that the company had no rights whatever in the land they had been using for a dumping ground, and it was imperative that the canal be sluiced out at that point. The Bixbys, in the settlement referred to, conveyed to the company a right-of-way for a flume to carry off the debris sluiced from the canal. They also waived all claims for damages theretofore sustained by the flowing of sand upon their lands, and abandoned the old wasteful Bixby ditch. The company conceded to the Bixbys the right to the use of 100 inches of water from the Cajon canal. This was really no concession, under the law Snow of Tustin, Marco Foster of Capistrano, A. McDermont of Fullerton, as well as others. The convention meets on the 21st, when the successful aspirant for the honor will be named. Our Fruits Abroad. NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Prof. John B Smith, State entomologist of New Jersey, has just returned from abroad where he went to investigate restrictions against American fruits. Prof. Smith also investigated methods of handling insects in European countries. With regard to the fruits he ascended that it would be practically impossible for American fruits to be shipped into France except by treaty and arrangement. French officials have an idea that all American fruits are tabooed. If the fruit is forced through there is so much red tape about it that the fruit spoils before it reaches hands of the customer. Efforts to exclude American fruits have been abandoned in Holland, the professor found, but in Belgium very few American fruits are received. Officials in Germany, he said, seemed to be fair minded and disposed to treat shipments more considerately. But found that at Hamburg, while there was a consignment of 30,000 barrels of apples was received. Prof. Smith believes that if American fruit shippers will treat their customers fairly there will be no trouble about the sale of American fruits foreign countries. Everything is so at auction and never by surface show. One barrel in every ten is emptied on upon the floor and the sale is made on condition of the fruit thus displayed. The man who puts a lot poor fruit at the bottom of the barrel stands a poor show. Foreign officials are particular about the San Jose scale. If a single scale found on one apple in a barrel, the entire shipment would be excluded. Prof. Smith was agreeably surprised to find that the American fruit exhibit passed those of other countries. I found that the French commission mechants were greatly interested in these fruits, and it is his opinion that no year there will be a noticeable increase in the demand for Jersey fruits.

One Hundred and Sixty-Five Subscribers, and Enough in Sight to Make up the Complement of Two Hundred. Up to yesterday morning 165 signatures had been secured for petitions asking for the formation of two free rural mail routes. The signers are residents of this city, West Anaheim, Clair, Magnolia, Garden Grove, Katella, Buena Park, Centralia and Cypress. Canvassers are out each day. On Monday twelve new names were added to the list. Supervisor Potter said yesterday that at least twenty more subscribers would be secured in his district (Centralia.). Frank Eastman who is in charge of circulating the main petition has a list of a dozen or more who have promised conditionally to subscribe, and others of the soliciting committee have more names in sight. The list of subscribers who have signed for mail boxes on the routes, are as follows: ANAHEIM. Mrs. J. Strodthoff, J. J. Schneider, Mrs. C. Langenberger, John L. Schumacher, C. Spencer, J. Everhardy, W. AND UNCLE DAN'L CAME BACK. He Issues a Call for a Democratic County Convention Which the Untrified Turn Down Promptly. The Democrats of the county seem to be at sixes and seven regarding the time and place for holding their county convention, and the repeal of the Stratton law is not the only thing that has to do with it. When the County Central committee met last month, Fullerton was selected as the place for holding the convention, and preparations were made for the gathering at that point. Last week the Santa Ana Bulletin issued a call for a county convention to be held at Santa Ana, in words and figures as follows: "The Supreme Court having decided the infamous Stratton Primary law unconstitutional, as every sensible man expected, we the Democrats of Orange county through their officers hereby proclaim that the party hold a primary election on Tuesday, August 14th, for the purpose of electing delegates to a county convention to meet in the town of Santa Ana, on Saturday, August 18th, 1900, in Spurgeon hall, at the hour of 10 o'clock a.m., to select delegates to attend the State Democratic convention to be held in San Jose on August 30th, 1900. The primary elections for delegates to the county convention will be held from the hours of 2 o'clock p.m. till 5 o'clock p.m. The test for voters is, "Will you support Bryan in the coming election?" Returns should be sent to the secretary as soon as possible. All judges of the election are authorized to fill any vacancies that may occur on the board of election and to make any change in the polling places they may deem necessary. Every precinct is requested to send a delegate. The call is signed "W. H. Spurgen, President Democratic County Central Committee," and "D. M. Baker, Secretary." The Standard of the next day repudiates Uncle Dan'l's call and flays him alive in the manner following: In its last issue the Bulletin prematurely published a call for Democratic primaries and county convention, and it becomes the unpleasant duty of the Morning Standard to mention this fact and to say that the call for the meeting of the central committee next Wednesday at Spurgeon's hall, as published in this paper, is the only legal call that could be made for the reason that at the last meeting of the Democratic county central committee of Orange county, it was unanimously decided to hold the next county convention at Fullerton and no official of the committee has the right to go beyond that decision. It is only common justice to Supervisor Potter said yesterday that at least twenty more subscribers would be secured in his district (Centralia.)

Major Jeffrey has been in Santa Barbara county since his return from Oakland, establishing two new routes. He is expected to arrive in Anaheim in a few days, when the final work of forming the routes will be taken up.

He writes that he will be ready to attend to the formation of two routes here immediately upon his arrival, and he may remain in town several days.
