The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY...DECEMBER 13, 1900. ARMOR ANSWERS SHERWOOD EDITOR GAZETTE.—In your last issue appeared an article by G. W. Sherwood, criticizing the management of the Anaheim Union Water company directly and that of the joint action of the two companies indirectly. The people on this side of the river are not directly interested in the management of the internal affair of the A. U. W. Co.; but inasmuch as some of the policies assailed are entrenched in the State Constitution, we may be pardoned for noting an exception to the criticism and taking issue with some of its conclusions. Before entering upon the regular discussion, we would ask Engineer Sherwood, in all kindness, whether he presented his views is a respectful manner to the board of directors. It is rather uncommon for an employee to assail his employer in public print; is the situation so desperate as to justify such a course? Is he real sure that his own views are absolutely correct and that the board is as far out of the way as his criticism would make it appear? Let us look at some of his assumptions and deductions therefrom. After blaming the directors for not investigating a state of affairs in which the principal witness refused to testify and carried his information with him to the grave, Mr. Sherwood attacked the manner of conducting the election of directors, condemning proxy gathering and cumulative voting, charging large share holders with an undue influence in the election, and advocating the districting of the territory for directors and their election by a secret ballot. A complete and authoritative answer to every one of these contents is found in Section 12 of Article will meet with no response from real friends of the valley. The companies can afford to buy property like the Durkee ranch outright, but to pay perpetual tribute to a Shylock, never! Newberry already asks five prices for his holding, and if he gets the companies into his clutch he will take all the traffic will bear. It is sufficient answer to the sneer about the Durkee purchase disposing of the Jurupa litigation and reducing Newberry to the size of six carfares, to say that it did dispose of the litigation, the suit having since been dismissed, and that Newberry himself recognized he was checked, if not checkmated, by dismissing his corps of engineers and calling for a conference with the companies within five days after the announcement of the purchase. In all the ridicule hurled at the Durkee ranch not one word appeared about the 1000 inches of water from the river belonging to the ranch, which according to the price paid by Ontario would alone be worth ten times the cost of the ranch. But some one, who thinks he has discovered what no one else ever thought of, says: "The companies have really bought their own water; conceding that 1000 inches to the ranch, it cannot be taken out of the watershed and will all come down to us anyway." This is true to a certain extent—provided the courts will always maintain our contentions; but the purchase surely transfers the title of the largest diversion below River-side to us forever without further cost and the uncertainty of litigation, and enables us to use so much more of the stream when and where we will. Every unprejudiced mind must assent that the flow of this water down the river uninterruptedly during the short supply of the past season, increased the volume and maintained the steadiness of the stream to the companies over what it would have been had the water been applied to the ranch instead. The land is only a part of the purchase, but a necessary part to control the water. That McFadden disapproves of this purchase is unfortunate for—McFadden; some years ago when he was on the board he advocated in the litigation committee the abandonment of all our rights up the river and the con- HUGGANS' BOTTLING WORKS. To be Removed from Fullerton to this City—Will Pay No License. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening a communication was submitted from Chauncey Huggans of Fullerton asking for a license to maintain his soda water and ginger pop manufacture and bottling works in this city. Mr. Huggans stated he desired to remove his establishment from Fullerton to Anahaim. He did not sell his wares at retail, but disposed of them direct to dealers who purchased at wholesale at the factory. The board expressed itself as being favorable to granting the application but an inspection of the License ordinance revealed the fact that Huggans although willing to pay a license could not be charged a license tax to conduct his business in this city. The License ordinance makes no provision for the exaction of a license from whole sale liquor dealers. That would tax the wine maker, and for that reason it was omitted. Huggans contemplates the bottling of beer, and will keep beer in barrels in cold storage, for sale to the trade. Trustee Schwenckert moved that a amendment be added to the License ordinance, licensing wholesale liquor dealers. He said that it was right that should be taxed. Now that Prohibition had gone into effect in Orange county, there would probably other establishments of the kind desiring to start here, and he thought that all ought to help support the city government. Trustee Dickel dissented. He did not believe in taxing the winemaker. There was no second to the motive and it fell to the ground. Marshal Steadman reported that lowing collections for November: $201 90; electric lights; $270 licenses; $174 25; total; $646 20; less per cent commission for collection; $32 31; deposited with Treasurer $613 89. Delinquents collected: Water $27 90; lights; $9 35; license; 50 cents; total; $37 75. Delinquents reported: Water, $19 15; lights, $28 75; licen- $1 25; total; $49 15.

A complete and authoritative answer to every one of these contents is found in Section 12 of Article XII of the State Constitution, which reads as follows: "In all elections for directors or managers of corporations every stockholder shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares of stock owned by him for as many persons as there are directors or managers to be elected, or to cumulate said shares and give one candidate as many votes as the number of directors multiplied by the number of his shares of stock shall equal, or to distribute them on the same principle, among as many candidates as he shall think fit; and such directors or managers shall not be elected in any other manner, except that members of co-operative societies formed for agricultural, mercantile and manufacturing purposes may vote on all questions affecting such societies in manner prescribed by law." The exception in the last clause refers to societies without capital stock, each member of which is entitled by law to one vote. In stock companies the right of each share holder to vote for any or all of the directors precludes the districting of the territory. It is also readily seen that a stock vote cannot be taken by a secret ballot without opening wide the door to fraudulent voting. Large stockholders have the same pro rata share in the election that they have in the burdens and benefits of the company; and there is no injustice to anyone else in that. In passing from this branch of the discussion it may be remarked that the law can only give opportunities and protect rights, which the present law does; and that no method can be devised which will relieve the individual stockholder from responsibility and bring good results out of neglected opportunities. Mr. Sherwood's suggestive criticism on "The Development of the Canal System" is timely and proper, with the possible exception of its querulous spirit. There probably never was a director of any water company that did not always believe in a comprehensive plan for the whole system of ditches and that all work done on the system should conform to that plan. There are however a number of things that delay action and cause the postponement of the consumption until a more convenient season; the directors are in only for a year and don't know that any of them will be re-elected; they work practically without pay and consequently cannot afford to spend much time posting themselves; they have had no business relations with engineers, and don't know whom to trust with such an important undertaking; they have heard it said that "engineers were expensive cusses," and would sumptuous and deductions therefrom.

There are however a number of things that delay action and cause the postponement of the consummation until a more convenient season; the directors are in only for a year and don't know that any of them will be re-elected; they work practically without pay and consequently cannot afford to spend much time posting themselves; they have had no business relations with engineers, and don't know whom to trust with such an important undertaking; they have heard it said that "engineers were expensive cusses," and would nurse a job; they fear that if work is planned ahead the stockholders will take fright and oust the enterprising members; in short, they expect, if they do anything beyond a hand-to-mouth policy, that some disgruntled stockholder or pastmaster official will try to pull the house down upon them. Is it any wonder then that boards of directors do not do even as well as they know how? As the next topic, "How can we get more water?" is treated entirely from the standpoint of storage of water in prospective reservoirs on the Anaheim system, we pass it with the single observation that even the doctors seemed to disagree about reservoirs, such authorities as Schuyler, Kellogg, McFadden and Fay being quoted as differing, and the writer of the article being against the whole reservoir enterprise. Under the head of "The Durkee Ranch," Mr. Sherwood ridiculed its purchase, encouraged Newberry to develop water so that the companies might buy it of him, professed ignorance of why the ranch was bought, quoted McFadden as saying it was not valuable, called attention to the increase of the indebtedness of the A.U. W.C., in effect denied the right of the directors to buy and sell property for the company, condemned the secret workings of the board of directors, and demanded a statement of the financial policy of the company. Taking these points up in order, it would seem from the amount of sarcasm concentrated upon the Durkee ranch that Mr. Sherwood has been nursing a grievance for a long time on account of failure to be employed in connection with the purchase or for other reasons; but, although the bid for employment sticks out in every paragraph of his article, it is not the purpose of the present writing to impugn his motives for his recent outbreak. His advice for the companies to allow Newberry to develop water and then buy it of him struggle is not over. To advance may be hazardous; but to retreat is sure defeat and capitulation if not annihilation. There are a number of other points that might be elucidated; but this article has already reached too great a length and must be stopped short off. Respectfully, S. ARMOR. Local Dots. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to attend the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena on New Years' day. The Fraternal Brotherhood will have its annual election of officers at its meeting tomorrow evening, and will initiate six new members. There has been quite a stir at the Griffith lumber yard the past week. A cargo of redwood lumber was received. Mr. Grim had a number of extra hands employed unloading cars and stacking the lumber in the yard. He informs us that a cargo of pine lumber is expected here within a few days. Pumping Plant. George A. Hunter has erected a new pumping plant at his orange orchard southeast of town from which he gets as fine a stream of 75 inches of water from his deep well as one would wish to see. The well is 300 feet in depth, and was bored some 20 years ago by Mr. Sheffield. It was abandoned for the reason that malicious persons persisted in throwing rocks and scrap iron into the hole. Mr. Sheffield wanted to go deep enough for artesian water. The well filled up and for years was forgotten. Recently Mr. Hunter resolved to clean it out, although well borers advised against. He reasoned that the hole had only filled up to the water line, that leaves and brush first settled upon the water, forming a solid mass, and that the sand lodged on top of it, filling up the hole. This hypothesis proved to be correct, for when the sand pump reached a depth of 35 feet it suddenly dropped to 248 feet. The casing was pierced from a depth of 85 feet to 125 feet, and an abundance of water procured.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Postmaster-General Charles Emory Smith has submitted his annual report to the President. In it the financial operations of the department for the last fiscal year are shown by the following statement of revenues and expenditures: Ordinary postal revenue, $100,899,433; receipts from money-order business, $1,455,145; total receipts from all sources, $102,354,579. Total expenditures for the year, $107,740,267. Excess of expenditures over receipts, $5,385,688. The deficit for the year 1899-1900 is shown to be $1,225,088 less than the previous year. The estimated postal revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, is $116,633,042, and the estimated expenditures $121,276,349, leaving a probable deficiency of $4,634,307. Rural free delivery, the report says, has proved to be "the most salient, significant and far-reaching feature of postal development." Besides swelling the postal receipts, the value of farms are enhanced through the necessity for good roads and the opportunity afforded the farmer to keep abreast of the times by being in closer communication with the outside world. The isolation and monotony which has been the bane of country life is sensibly mitigated through the effect of rural free delivery in placing the farm within daily range of the intellectual and commercial activity of the world. The farmer is also given cause to feel that he shares the governmental advantages of the townsman, which stimulated his loyalty and patriotism. "With all these results clearly indicated by the experiment as thus far tried," says the Postmaster-General, "rural free delivery is plainly here to stay." Of the twenty-one millions of people scattered over one million square miles of territory to whose doors it is the task of the government to arrange to carry the mails through rural free delivery, Postmaster-General Smith says that by the end of the current fiscal year one-sixth of them have served and 4300 routes.

"More than 20 years ago," said senator in reminiscent mood, doing clerical stunts at Hamilton and having about as enjoyable existence as I have ever known, or since. The blue skies, the blighted some food and the interesting all around me made my life easy as the pearly portals. My work so confining that I could not get on mountain walks pretty freely and one day I started out with dog for a turn up Mount Tom, yond the town. The main leafling into the town from the passed along the side of this road and on over a gap into the valley. "I had a particular object to and with my dog I wandered the mountain, which was without tation except a fuzzy thicket and the surface was covered rocks of various sizes from a haystack. After awhile thing better to do, I began to stones down the mountain slowly developed into a most sport, for the mountain was as the rocks went down with it and a hurrah that stirred to watch them as they bounded. I never thought of the roads along about 1,000 feet down and, as nobody happened to by, my attention was not taken in that way, and I kept on."

More than 20 years ago," said the Senator in reminiscent mood, "I was going clerical stunts at Hamilton, Nev., and having about as enjoyable an experience as I have ever known before since. The blue skies, the big mountains, the invigorating air, the whole food and the interesting people around me made my life about as good as life ought to be this side of the pearly portals. My work was not confining that I could not get away to mountain walks pretty frequently, and one day I started out with my dog for a turn up Mount Tom, just beyond the town. The main highway leading into the town from the west passed along the side of this mountain and on over a gap into the valley behind. "I had a particular object in view, and with my dog I wandered along up the mountain, which was without vegetation except a furry thicket in places, and the surface was covered with rocks of various sizes from a football to a haystack. After awhile, for something better to do, I began to roll the stones down the mountain side, and it rapidly developed into a most exciting sport, for the mountain was steep and the rocks went down with a whoop and a hurrah that stirred the blood to watch them as they bounded along. I never thought of the road passing along about 1,000 feet down the hill, and, as nobody happened to be going by, my attention was not called to it in that way, and I kept on. "Naturally enough, my success with the smaller stones made me ambitious, and I essayed something larger. It was a dandy, too, a great big, round bowler that would have welged a ton if it weighed a pound. It was a job to get it started, but by pulling the rocks from under it on the lower side and loosening it up all around I got it going at last and stood back to enjoy its progress down the mountain. It went slowly at first, as if in doubt, but it struck a steep place about 50 feet down the hill, and it leaped out like a restive horse from the post, and away it went, bounding a dozen feet into the air and jumping over gullies and rocks as if it were rubber. About 600 feet down, when it was going at tremendous speed, it leaped 50 feet into the air, and I was just going to let off a whoo when I saw a 12 mule team in the narrow road below and directly in the track of the monster. "The team was drawing two wagons, as was the custom with the mountain freighters, and it was driven by old Jerry Simpson, one of the best known teamsters in the mountains. It simply paralyzed me, for I didn't see anything but destruction for everything in the way. There was no turning back or whipping up to get out of the way, for the load was heavy and the road was rough and narrow. I stood speechless, scared white, but the driver had seen course, and just as I gasped at the last bound of the bowler it struck an obstruction of some kind and jumped clean over the team and the road and went crashing on its way down into the ravine below. "Then I recovered my wits, and knowing that what I had been doing was entirely inexcusable, I skinned off up the mountain behind the rocks and disappeared, trusting to Providence that the old Jerry hadn't identified me. I slipped around another way to town and got in all right without having any questions asked where I had been, and that evening I went over to the postoffice, which was a general loading place, and there found Jerry telling of his wonderful escape. "Derned ef I didn’t think it wuz a haystack comin down the hill,' he said, 'with somethin alive in it.' "Have you any idea who rolled it down? I asked innocently. "In course I hain't. Ef I hadn’t been in sich a burry and left my Winchester in the wagon, I'd’a found out mighty quick, fer I seen him run, and he had a dog with him." "I was a little nervous, but I kept on asking questions. "What did you have in your wagons? I said. "Dynamite. Four tons uv it." "Good Lord!" I exclaimed. "There wouldn’t have been much left of that team, would there? "Nor me, neither,’ I reckon,’ he said, shaking his head. "What did you think of as you were running up the road? "Not much uv anything. I guess, but mostly ef they wuz goin to be able to git enough uv Jerry Simpson meat out of that mule meat to have a funeral with.'" "I don’t know where Jerry is now," concluded the senator; "dead. I suppose, but I never told him who rolled that rock down she hill, nor did I ever tell anybody in that town who did it, because it came altogether too near being a tragedy for it ever to be considered a joke."—New York Sun.

The Bundle Kicked. A comical story is told of an English nobleman who is shortsighted. In a railroad train, while he was sitting next to a very stout old woman, friend on the next seat accosted him. "Wait a minute," said his lordship. "I’ll put this bundle of rags in the rack and you can sit here."
