MORE LAND UP THE RIVER. Another Chance for Mr. Sherwood to Get in and Make a Kick—What the Water Board Did on Saturday. At the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon the following resolutions, prepared by Attorney Melrose, were offered by Director Crowther, seconded by Director Cargill, and unanimously carried: WHEREAS. At a joint meeting of the boards of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, held at the office of the former company on Saturday, November 17, 1900, a proposition which had theretofore been made by the South Riverside Land and Water company to sell to the aforesaid corporations 107 acres of land in Riverside county for the sum of $5000 was fully discussed; and WHEREAS. It appeared to said boards of directors that it was for the best interests of their respective companies that said land be purchased by them for the uses of said corporations in the conduct of the business of each of them, and thereupon said boards by a unanimous vote decided to purchase said land; and WHEREAS. Thereafter the said land was conveyed by said South Riverside Land and Water company to the Anaheim Union Water company and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company by good and sufficient deed, and the consideration therefor, to-wit: $5000, was paid to said South Riverside Land and Water company by the said two corporations, each paying $2500; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the purchase of said land as aforesaid, and the action of the president and secretary in issuing warrants for $2500 in favor of said South Riverside Land and Water company, in payment of this company's share of the purchase price of said land, be and the same is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved, and that the deed for said land executed by said South Riverside Land and Water company as aforesaid, be and the same is hereby accepted. The proceedings leading up to the purchase of the land described in the resolution were had in executive session, and, if Mr. Sherwood should inquire why the purchase was made, the answer is that the land was purchased, as set forth in the resolutions, for "the best interests of both companies." How are you feeling, Mr. Sherwood? Supt. Woodward was too busily engaged on the repairs of the upper ditch to make a report, and none was submitted by him. The finance committee offered the better and cheaper plan. After a further discussion, in which Mr. Pierotti insisted it was a mistake to construct a new fill, the board voted to instruct the Ditch Committee to proceed and construct a temporary fill, so that water might be carried over the barranca when it reaches that point from up the canyon. In view of the fact that the board feels reasonably certain that the temporary fill will go out at the first freshet, as little money as necessary will be expended in order to afford a temporary waterway for the stream when it reaches this point, some time next week. At the suggestion of Mr. Chapman, Mr. Shaffer was instructed to proceed to the repair of the breaks in the company's cement ditches. Supt. Woodward will be kept on the main ditch, while the Ditch Committee will cooperate with him in making repairs at the fill and in the distributing ditches. Mr. Crowther borrowed Mr. Cargill's glasses and said that, referring to the criticisms that had been made of the superintendent and the directors for not getting water down in the ditch immediately after the subsidence of the storm, he was reminded of the time, many years ago, when he was superintendent of the company, the main canal washed out nine times in one month. (Nine times in one month.) He was forced to labor in the rain and mud and slush ten days to repair the first break, and after getting the repairs almost done the board of directors, who had been growling about the water being out of the ditch, showed up with capacious lunch baskets, as Sherwood would say, and inquired why the water was not down in the ditches. The next day the water got through. The board passed a vote of confidence in themselves for getting the water down in one day after they went up the ditch, and voted condemnation to Crowther for not getting the water down before. The statement was here made that a portion of the cement ditch on Orange-thorpe avenue had been washed out. Mr. Crowther—What ditch is that? He was informed, the washout being on East Orangthorpe avenue. Mr. Crowther—That ditch was erected to the memory of William M. McFadden. [Laughter.] Mr. Pierotti told how the stockhold- FARMERS' CLUB WILL DANCE. Will Usher in the New Century by Tripping the Light Fantastic at the Del Campo. The Farmers' club met at Mr. Korn's residence on Monday afternoon. A number of members were present, and various matters were brought up for discussion. The route of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railway through Orange county, as well as that of the spur from Bixby station to Santa Ana, was brought up for discussion, and the club resolved to act in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce in appointing a committee to wait upon Senator Clark, or his brother, J. Ross Clark, as well as the other directors, and lay before them the claims of this city as a point to be traversed by the new road. As already pointed out, the route which seems to have been determined upon for the main line lies from Los Angeles to Whittier, thence across the La Habra valley and the Brea canyon to Placentia, and thence up the Santa Ana canyon to Riverside. The spur running from Bixby to Santa Ana will likely pass through this city. The committee will endeavor to ascertain the exact route, and will assist in right-of-way matters hereabout. The committee appointed to confer with the directors of the new road is composed of A. H. Cargill, H. A. Dickel, Peter Weisel, Jr., Herman Stern and M. L. Rogers. A communication was read from Prof. Cook relative to the meeting of the Farmers' Clubs institute at Riverside Dec. 19-22. The subject allotted the Anaheim club is, "How can we make our clubs more effective?" J. B. Neff was selected to prepare an essay upon the subject. A committee of club members, consisting of F. A. Korn, G. C. Hagar, J. B. Neff, A. H. Cargill and George A. Hunter, were appointed to attend the institute. Under the head of good of the club, Geo. A. Hunter and Miss Marie Horstmann, treasurer of the club, were appointed a committee to wait upon delinquent members and collect dues. The committee will call upon members in near future. A hearty response of the circulating medium is expected. land executed by said South Riverside Land and Water company as aforesaid, be and the same is hereby accepted. The proceedings leading up to the purchase of the land described in the resolution were had in executive session, and, if Mr. Sherwood should inquire why the purchase was made, the answer is that the land was purchased, as set forth in the resolutions, for "the best interests of both companies." How are you feeling, M. Sherwood? Supt. Woodward was too busily engaged on the repairs of the upper ditch to make a report, and none was submitted by him. The finance committee was given authority to approve and pay such warrants as he might bring in for work done on the ditch before the next meeting. Mr. Woodward, it was given out, was doing good work on the ditch, and was making repairs as rapidly as possible. Mr. Pierotti brought up the matter of storm gates on the upper ditch, and said there was room for great improvement over those at present in use. The present storm gates must be raised with a crowbar, which acted as a lever to move the windlass which lifted the gate, and that was a cumbersome project. Storms come up unexpectedly, often times at night, and the superintendent and zanjeros walking along the ditch with a crowbar over one shoulder, a shovel over the other, and carrying a lantern, were not in position to render stockholders the most efficient service at such times. He suggested that the superintendent be instructed to replace the old windlasses by a strong iron roller, with fixed cross-bars of iron pipe, so that the gates might be raised without the trouble and waste of time of the present affairs. Mr. Cargill observed the old gates were rotten, and he was disinclined to favor any repairs to them in their present condition. He suggested that new iron gates be put in, and that then the new roller process for raising gates might be tried. Secretary Blennnerhassett spoke up and said that several gates such as Mr. Pierotti suggested had been ordered made some months ago, in accordance with plans submitted by the late Mr. Fay. These gates were now lying idle in the warehouse, where they had been since their construction. The board presumably made a mental reservation to hunt them up, but nothing was said concerning them. It developed that from 20 to 25 storm gates were necessary. Mr. Pierotti's motion was carried; no work, however, to be added to rotten gates. In such cases new iron gates are to be placed, in accordance with Mr. Cargill's suggestions. Mr. Crowther made a verbal report of an inspection of the upper ditch by the board on Thursday last. The damages caused by the recent flood were found to be not as bad as expected. The ditch was filled in for quite a distance, but repairs are being made as quickly as men and teams can do so. There were some nasty places in the ditch, where mud had filled in to a depth of eight feet. But sluicing operations were being resorted to, and the many storm gates with which the main canal land executed by said South Riverside Land and Water company as aforesaid, be and the same is hereby accepted.

He was informed, the washout being on East Orangethorpe avenue. Mr Crowther—That ditch was erected to the memory of William M. McFadden.[Laughter.] Mr Pierotti told how the stockholders kicked once when he was superintendent, at a washout which kept water out of the ditches for a week. He spoke in terms of praise of Supt. Woodward, saying he should have the support of the board and the stockholders, for he was doing well and would have the water down as speedily as possible. Mr Pierotti brought up into the matter of crossing leading into Mr. McFadden's place over the cement ditch on Placentia avenue. This he maintained should be paid for by McFadden, and this that gentleman refuses to do. The matter was referred to the attorney. The board approved the action of the president in renting the reservoir tract to Tousseau Bros., for $500.

The damages caused by the recent flood were found to be not as bad as expected. The ditch was filled in for quite a distance, but repairs are being made as quickly as men and teams can do so. There were some nasty places in the ditch, where mud had filled in to a depth of eight feet. But sluicing operations were being resorted to, and the many storm gates with which the main canal had been provided stood the company in good stead. The fill at former Flume 12 had, he said, been partly destroyed by the flood, and he recommended that a temporary fill be constructed in time to carry water over the barranca when it arrives, after the repair of the ditch further up the canyon. Years ago there used to be a flume at this point. When it had outlived its usefulness, Mr. Crowther, some five years ago, was of opinion that a fill was just what was necessary. The old flume was replaced by a fill some four years ago. Its spillway was a "squirrel hole," as Mr. Pierotti called it, three by four feet in dimensions. At subsequent meetings of the board it was pointed out that the spillway should have been twelve feet long by ten feet high in the middle, arching to six feet at the sides. Those who knew anything about the construction of such work felt the fill would be destroyed with the first rise of waters. It came near going out last year. Two weeks ago, when the flood waters came down the canyon, the fill didn't do a thing but topple over—a good part of it. When, therefore, Crowther argued for another fill to replace the broken parts, Mr. Pierotti arose and said a flume was what was wanted at that point—a flume, not a fill. He argued at some length in support of his contention. Mr. Bradford was averse to putting any more money in at that point than was absolutely necessary. He thought a temporary fill the cheaper of the two plans. Mr. Chapman was of opinion that the cheapest way out of the difficulty was the best way out of it. Inasmuch as a large amount of filling had necessarily to be done even if a flume were built, he thought that of the two a temporary Broke His Leg. Warren Bradford, the seven-year-old son of A. S. Bradford, had the misfortune one afternoon last week to break his right leg above the knee while returning home from school at Placentia. He usually rides a bicycle to and from school, but on that day it was out of repair, and he was on his way on foot. A gentleman in a buggy passed with a number of school children, giving them a ride, and the lad asked permission to ride also. He volunteered to sit upon the box at the rear of the seat, and rode for some distance, when he wagged off, his legs going through the spokes of the wheel. The bone was broken squarely off. The vehicle was stopped, and the lad taken from his hazardous position. He was taken home, where he has since been getting along as well as could be expected. Mr. Bradford has had a spell of ill luck of late. Recently he burned his eyes severely by an explosion of time. It was thought at the time that he would lose his sight. However, he recovered, and suffers no permanent injury to his eyesight. The flood of two weeks ago washed his orchard badly, and now his little boy has a broken leg. This is the most serious of all, Mr. Bradford says, but he hopes the lad will soon be well on his way to recovery. Virgil Speneer. Virgil Spencer, son of Mrs. Dr. Thos. Spencer of Orangethorpe avenue, died at his home of consumption on Monday morning. The deceased was aged 22 years, and was popular among a wide circle of associates. He was bright and clever, and his death is regretted by all who knew him. The interment took place on Tuesday afternoon, the remains being followed to their last resting place by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. For Sale.

Nenno visited the county seat today. William Key and wife are home from Newport, and are stopping with their son, George B. Key. Great damage was done our orchards by the flood of two weeks ago. Nearly every grower suffered. Those suffering the most are Messrs. Hale, Berkenstock, Basten, Bradford, Moran, Pierotti, Pendleton, Staley, McFadden, Klokke, Parkins, Gilman, East and Chapman. In many orchards roots were laid bare and loose soil washed away. In other places soil is lodged to depths of from 3 to 12 inches. At various points the roads were filled deep with sediment; at others washed badly, making the roads almost impassable. All bridges east of Placentia will require thousands of dollars for repair of the damage. Nearly every flume was washed out. Fill No. 12 was partly wrecked. The flood came from Soquel canyon, crossing the main canal as if it had been a wheel rut, and bore down on sleeping Placentia. Every cellar was filled with water. Neglect in keeping the canyon wash free from motes, willows, etc., was the CHRISTMAS GIFTS AT CHAS. FEDEY An extraordinarily liberal offer of 15 per cent.
