The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... JANUARY 3, 1905 SHERWOOD QUOTES POETRY. Drops Into Verse in Making Answer to Daniel Durkee and His Affidavits. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Having been so successful in tapping unexpected sources of information with my former articles in your paper, I will continue, in the hope that Fuller and Newberry may be induced to contribute to the fund of information that we are acquiring. I am glad to know that I am "up against the real thing," as Bro. Durkee expresses it. I have been trying to get "next" for some time. If Durkee had been a reader of your journal, instead of getting his information from an irresponsible sheet like the Times, he would know that the matter which has so agitated his bile was not referred to in my original article. In an interchange of amenities between Mr. Armor and myself later I referred to the rumor, which has been, I believe, published several times during the past year, that Newberry could have bought the ranch for $35,000, and asked him to explain. That is all I had to say about the matter. I am very glad that Durkee has jumped into the breach and done the explaining himself. If he had only furnished an affidavit that Armor did not put him up to it, the record of his disinterested kindness in our behalf would be complete. Since Mr. Durkee has been so kind in furnishing us with so much information, in return I will tell him that I am pleased to learn that Daniel has again passed through the fion's den without being "touched"; also that at this late date it is a matter of minor importance what the ranch could have been bought for, who got the money, or even whether we got value received. (Mr. McFadden of Placentia, Mr. Durkee, is the man who says we didn't; jump on him.) What I am making a roar about, Mr. Durkee, is because our board of directors made this purchase without the knowledge or consent of the stockholders. So you think it really no reason for ourARMOR CONTINUES ARGUMENT Discusses the Matter of Bringing Down Water for Both Companies in an Enlarged Cajon Ditch. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Although considerably behind Mr. Sherwood in his reckless running amuck, I still follow on, binding up here and there a wound made by him, warning the people of their danger and parrying his blows whenever I can get within reach. His naive explanation of how he came to assail his employers has a frank ring of sincerity about it that is rather winning, but stripped of all embellishments it only means that his good impulses and his evil impulses struggled within him for months for the mastery until one day in Anaheim he yielded to the temptations of the devil and committed the indiscretion. He freely admitted that he was greatly displeased over his failure to be employed up the river, and, in justification of that feeling and as a tribute to his self-esteem, he disparaged those who were employed and charged me with not wanting him up there because, to state it bluntly, he was too honest and honorable, forsooth, for our purposes! Much as I dislike to wound any man's pride, truth compels me to inform the gentleman that he was not considered at all for that work and was never mentioned or alluded to in any way in my hearing. Where the fault lies, if fault there be, I will not attempt to explain; but to charge the blame upon me, and that too with dishonest motives, is unworthy of a gentleman, although I have called him such in the courtesy of debate. In recurring again in his second article to that Fay episode, which had already been disposed of partly by himself and partly by me, Mr. Sherwood evinces considerable uneasiness about the impending loss of some supposed advantage that had to price and sharing of purchases money with Newberry, would be due here according to the order of items; but Durkee has anticipated me and disposed of those charges so completely that only a willful varicator would ever allude to them again. He made affidavit that his entire holdings at Rincon, which the companies bought, had never been offered for less than $100,000; that the rights to the undeveloped water that might be developed on the ranch had never been offered for less than $50,000; and that not one dollar of the money received from the companies was ever paid to Newberry or any other owner or land or water rights in that vicinity. To appreciate the difference between Durkee's two propositions, must be borne in mind that the $50,000 proposition did not include the 1000 inches of water from the river nor the riparian rights of the ranch—nothing but the right to develop the water which might be used under the surface. There is nothing specially small in the railery about the purchases up the river; Mr. Sherwood can hold a candle to a St. Louis fish wife on that score; besides, he greater his talent for saying things the greater is his responsibility for saying them. Stripped off verbiage and innuendo, the question raised is the wisdom of making these purchases. That question was determined by the unanimous vote both boards of directors, after careful examination into every phase of the proposition. The whole transaction was reported to the stockholders of the S. A. V. I. Co. by the board of directors at the annual meeting in October. After a few and free discussion of the purchase it was endorsed by the stockholder with one dissenting vote. In Mr. Sherwood's first article condemned the patchwork policy of the company in not having a plan for the whole system of ditches, width size and location of each aggregate has been so kind in furnishing us with so much information, in return I will tell him that I am pleased to learn that Daniel has again passed through the tion a den without being "touched"; also that at this late date it is a matter of minor importance what the ranch could have been bought for, who got the money, or even whether we got value received. (Mr. McFadden of Placentia, Mr. Durkee, is the man who says we didn't jump on him.) What I am making a roar about, Mr. Durkee, is because our board of directors made this purchase without the knowledge or consent of the stockholders. So you see there is really no reason for our hiring a hall, after all. While you are in the mood you might answer the question I asked Mr. Armor the other day about the 1000 inches of water that "went with the ranch," as you say. It is so really delightful to get information directly from headquarters. Did you measure the water during a cloudburst or on the 1st of August, when Fuller was irrigating his alfalfa? When you get this figured out tell us whether there is any connection, other than a startling coincidence, between the sale of your ranch and Fuller's diversion of the water that "went with it." Are you real sure that we have anything more than the right to fight for that 1000 inches of water? If you are, please send affidavit at once. How much would you have taken for the privilege of using your land as a (submerged) reservoir site? That's what one director told me they were going to use it for. Didn't know that, did you? or you would never have sold out for a paltry $100,000. Sorry for you, Durkee, but that man from Orange is a sly one. Do you happen to know if that submerged dam they are going to build has any connection with the submerged reservoir on the ranch? In this connection it is said that some verses were recently picked up on the ranch. They were dedicated to a prominent citizen of Santa Ana, and the first stanza runs thusly: "Will you tell us, Mister Armor, Tell us muy pronto, Sam, Will we have to cut our trees down If Clay Kellogg builds the dam?" If you can furnish an affidavit or any information leading to the apprehension of the author an anxious public will be duly grateful. Since I read your letter a friend of mine has told me that Newberry told him that he had had your ranch for sale for $35,000, $5000 commission. Whether this included the chickens and the eighteen lots at Rincon I do not know. The Fullerton Times correspondent I do not know, either; but, in the interests of justice, I will help you catch him, and then, if you like, we will hire a ball, and I will hold him while you bury him ten feet deep in affidavits. G W. SHERWOOD. BANQUET TO BRYAN He Talks of His Future Plans—Grover Cleveland Denounced. LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 27.—The annual banquet of the Jeffersonian Club of Lincoln, held at the Lincoln hotel, brought together nearly 300 representative men of the Democratic and Popularian groups. Where lies, if fault there be, I will not attempt to explain; but to charge the blame upon me, and that too with dishonest motives, is unworthy of a gentleman, although I have called him such in the courtesy of debate. In recurring again in his second article to that Fay episode, which had already been disposed of partly by himself and partly by me, Mr. Sherwood evinces considerable uneasiness about the impending loss of some supposed advantage that had accrued to the kickers from that episode—possibly the loss of that quotation which played so prominent a part in Mr. Sherwood's first article and in all the water literature of Anaheim during the past year. On this side of the river Mr. Fay's report was regarded as an impersonal warning from a kind and faithful officer against the fraudulent or careless measurement of water. Almost identically the same course was taken in our company at one time; but then there were no brainless echoes of "a most remarkable state of affairs—'markable state of affairs—'fairs." Of course I am willing to agree with Sherwood that, after the discovery of a source of loss and the giving of a general warning, steps should at once be taken to remedy the evil by repairing the faulty gates and checking the fraudulent measurements; but this parrot-like quoting of Mr. Fay began a few days after his report was made and has continued with more or less regularity to the present time. For decency's sake he should be left in peace. Mr. Sherwood tried to minimize the depressing effect of the State Constitution upon his districting scheme, etc., by saying that it was only meant to regulate nominations; but any one capable of understanding the English language can see at a glance that no scheme can limit the freedom of the stockholders to vote for any one, having the necessary qualifications for director, whether nominated or not. Besides, good lawyers tell me that no territorial limits can be made for the nominations that cannot be enforced in the election itself. So far as a proxy or voting committee is concerned, each proxy gatherer is such a committee for the stockholders he represents. In short, any kind of a combination agreed upon by two or more stockholders may be voluntarily carried out; but no sort of compulsion can be legally enforced. The grouping of expressions, used by me to show the difficulties encountered by new directors in such matters lies, if fault there be, I will not attempt to explain; but to charge the blame upon me, and that too with dishonest motives, is unworthy of a gentleman, although I have called him such in the courtesy of debate.

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 27.—The annual banquet of the Jeffersonian Club of Lincoln, held at the Lincoln hotel, brought together nearly 300 representative men of the Democratic and Populist parties of Nebraska, together with a number of leaders from other States. The dinner afforded an opportunity to William J. Bryan to make his first appearance at a public gathering since the election, and the greeting accorded him was never surpassed in point of heartiness in his home city. His address received the closest attention, and applause was frequent. Bryan, whose subject was Principles Live, said in part: "At this banquet, surrounded by neighbors, who have been my friends for years, I may be pardoned for saying a word of a personal nature. Five times you have voted for me for public office—twice for Congress, once for the United State Senate and twice for the Presidency—and no candidate ever received more liberal support than you have given. 'Whether I shall ever be a candidate for office again is a question which must be determined by events. No one can speak with certainty of the future, for one's destiny is not known until his life's work is completed. I shall be content if it is my lot to aid in the triumph of the principles, while others enjoy the honors and bear the responsibilities of office.'" Aside from the ovation to Bryan and his speech, the event of the evening was the speech of John W. Kern, the defeated Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, who aroused the banqueters to a high pitch of enthusiasm, not only by his laudations of Bryan, but by the outspoken criticism of those Democrats whom he accused of contributing to Bryan's defeat. His denunciation of those Democrats "who offered gratuitous counsel to Democracy," though he mentioned no names was accepted by the crowd as referring to former President Cleveland. The grouping of expressions, used by me to show the difficulties encountered by new directors, in such a way as to convey a different meaning from that intended, will deceive no one who has read my article. For instance, the timidity of first-termers, about undertaking work which would extend beyond their term of office, was tortured into fear of failure to be re-elected; the delicate hint that not all engineers can be trusted, was twisted into being afraid of engineers. Of course, as directors become better posted they gain more confidence and can say as Crowther did at the last meeting: "Well, I shall certainly not consult Mr. Sherwood about the matter, in one form or another, because I consider my judgment superior to his in such matters." The gentleman's pert questions about how Newberry was checkmated and how we know we got 1000 inches of water have already been answered. Might as well ask how the sun rises and how we know that the wind blew the other day. His call for the reports of the engineers on the work up the river is too previous. This investigation was made for a special purpose; the reports were made to the litigation committee and will probably first see the light in the courtroom. An answer to the baseless charges of fraud in connection with the purchase of the Durkee ranch, both as tortorial limits can be made for the nominations that cannot be enforced in the election itself. So far as a proxy or voting committee is concerned, each proxy gatherer is such a committee for the stockholders he represents. In short, any kind of a combination agreed upon by two or more stockholders may be voluntarily carried out; but no sort of compulsion can be legally enforced.

He made affidavit that his holdings at Rincon, which the lessees bought, had never been for less than $100,000; that it is to the undeveloped water might be developed on the road never been offered for $50,000; and that not one of the money received from companies was ever paid to any or any other owner of water rights in that vicinity. Precariathe difference between Durkee's two propositions, it being borne in mind that the proposition did not include 30 inches of water from the ear the riparian rights of the nothing but the right to deme water which might be un-surface. He is nothing specially smart traillery about the purchases of river; Mr. Sherwood can't candle to a St. Louis fishmen that score; besides, he has his talent for saying mean the greater is his responsibil-lying saying them. Stripped of life and innuendo, the question is the wisdom of making theses. That question was deed by the unanimous vote of boards of directors, after a examination into every phase proposition. The whole tran- was reported to the stock- sons of the S. A. V. I. Co. by the of directors at the annual ing in October. After a full use discussion of the purchase tendorsed by the stockholders the dissenting vote. Mr. Sherwood's first article heanned the patchwork policy of company in not having a plan of whole system of ditches, with and location of each agreed rupted the Anaheim people and fix it up at our expense for their benefi- fit. Why, it is all under mortgage and you will lose all the money put into it!" Unless the stockholders elect a sillier set of men for directors than now serve on each board, whenever that work is undertaken, if at all, it will be arranged equitably for the mutual benefit of both companies and with perfect safety to all. If I were an engineer I might agree with Sherwood on the difficulty of taking our share of the water "around Horseshoe Bend" and then getting it back into our ditch; but, being only a layman, I might venture to suggest a simpler, easier way, and that is to stop the joint work opposite the head of our canal and let the Anaheim people go it alone "through that difficult formation around Horseshoe Bend." Mr. Sherwood seems to afflict himself over what he considers the assumption of power by the board of directors; he wants the directors kicked out and the company placed in charge of a competent engin-manager. The first part of Section 305 of the Civil Code reads: "The corporate powers, business and property of all corporations formed under this title must be exercised, conducted and controlled by a board of not less than five nor more than eleven directors, to be elected from among the holders of stock." It may be a rude awakening for Mr. Sherwood; but we have been told that, for all business transactions, the board of directors is the company; that the stockholders cannot instruct the board except through by-laws; that assessments can only be levied by the board of directors, and that the board is subject only to the general laws and by-laws of the company. The same thing is true of any officer. No citizen or number of citizens can order the county officers to do thus and so. The stockholders delegate their part in the government of the company to the directors for a year; then, if not suited, they can change establish practically the same rates as have already been established on northern lines to encourage emigration to Seattle and Portland by way of St. Paul. The general plan is to invite a high class of immigrants from less favored States, where crop failures and hard winters have created dissatisfaction. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

The hall crowded with merry dancers who joyed themselves until a late hh The hall was never so beautiful or orated. Garlands of red, white blue were hung along the walls from the corners to the ceiling. The entrance to the stairway from sidewalk strings of Japanese lant were placed. Lanterns were also along the stairway and hallway, give the whole a most inviting appearance. By 9 o'clock upwards of sixty coats had gathered to dance out the old ture, among whom were many o'company boys' friends from the rounding towns. Music was furnished by H.F.Me orchestra of Santa Ana. The grand march was led by Car-Ahlborn and Miss Annie Arnold.

Why, my dear sir, two companies haven't decided build a submerged dam yet, and there is nothing new in the quotation from Schuyler; I wish there was such a thing should be decided in the dim future, I presume when directors will take all the necessary precautions to investigate physical conditions, to see that debts are out of the way and to urge for the carrying out of the work on the continued contract. The present administration is ready preparing the way—securing place for Archimedes to rest therum for his lever to move the rod, as it were. You know that inprehensive plans there must be beginning somewhere; and if we introduced those plans or waited until ready to carry them out, we would find ourselves in the same fix Archimedes was—without a place to our fulcrum. Even if it never could be used, it is a good plan to use the fulcrum, lever and all, rather than let your enemy have it carry you out of position. Neither the enlargement of the Cajon has been determined upon nor any additions agreed to.

The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe systems have just asked their eastern connections for co-operation in establishing a specially low colonists' rate in order to accommodate the promised intrush of desirable men and their families, men for the oil wells, for the lumber camps, for the orchard regions, for small farms, and settlers generally, to occupy spacious California. The low rate will have to be put to a vote of all members of the railroad association. The vote is now being taken by telegraph. In a week the result will go into effect. All that is needed is a formal endorsement. Already various companies have given hearty assurance of their desire to co-operate. This colonists' rate will be $30 from Chicago to San Francisco or Los Angeles or other California points; $27.50 from Memphis or New Orleans, and $25 from Missouri River points to San Francisco, or common California points. All these rates deal simply with second-class tickets. When the new rates shall have been established，these colonists' tickets will be sold every Tuesday in February，March和April. The contemplated reduction will justice to add that without doubt there are faults in both companies which need correction; but，as shown in this section，these colonists' tickets will be sold every Tuesday in February，March和April.

Company E, N. G. C. entertained a crowd at a ball in the Opera-New Year's eve. The hall was filled with merry dancers, who entered themselves until a late hour. All was never so beautiful deced. Garlands of red, white and were hung along the walls and the corners to the ceiling. At entrance to the stairway from the walk strings of Japanese lanterns replaced. Lanterns were also used in the stairway and hallway, giving whole a most inviting appearance. 9 o'clock upwards of sixty couples gathered to dance out the old cen-samong whom were many of the many boys' friends from the sur-uling towns. Music was furnished by H. F. Meine's orchestra of Santa Ana. The grand march was led by Captain Corn and Miss Annie Arnold. 12 o'clock New Year greetings exchanged among those present, a volley was fired by a number of soldier boys to announce the birth new year and a new century. Each was served during the danc-hours and the military boys saw all hands enjoyed themselves to fullest extent. After the dance a number of the boys went to the Delico to participate in the dance given by the Farmers' club. The Boy Aboard Ship. Frank T. Bullen, who was once a boy himself, makes in his book, "Men of the Merchants' Service," a mournful statements concerning their life of young Jacky: Within the memory of middle aged boys on board a ship was the vicarious sacrifice to all the simulated ill temper of the ship. To-tales are told of the treatment of boys in 'Geordie' colliers that are tough to make the flesh creep to hear. Those days it was the privilege of any man on board to ill treat the boy, if, as very often happened, the little wretch died under it—well, not of it?—it was only a boy. And the peculiar part of it all was that the brutes who did these evil acts were right and proper. There only one way of training a boy—a rope's end if it were handy; if a fist or a boot would do, but he could be beaten. One man whom I shall always re-ber, as smart a seaman as ever, a ship's deck, beat me until there is not a square inch of my small body unbrushed. Scarcely a watch need that I did not receive some to- Bird Intelligence. During a high wind one summer day a young oriole was thrown from its nest to the ground. It was picked up by kind hands and kept in the house till the storm was over and then placed on the roof of the plaza. A watch was kept behind the closed blinds of a window near by to note proceedings on the part of the parent birds. They in the meantime had seen the little one borne away and had followed it to the house, and, as it was kept near the open window, its cries had apprised them of its whereabouts. They soon came to it on the roof and hovered about it, doing much talking and consulting together. Finally they alighted near the little one, and the female slipped her wing under it and seemed to urge some course of acting upon the male, whoidgeted about coming to the little one, spreading his wings over it, then flying to a tree, when the female followed him and brought him back and again slipped a wing under the little one. Finally he seemed to understand or to get his nerve under control, and, slipping his own wing under, together they made a sort of cradle for the birdling, and, each flapping its free wing, they flew to the tree, bearing it to a place of safety among the branches, where it was lost sight of.—Boston Christian Register. Treatment For Sprains. The prevalence of sprains and strains owing to the indulgence in athletic exercises of all kinds moves an authority on the treatment of these painful accidents to say: A little common sense treatment is often all that is needed when the strain is at ankle or wrist and without complications. It will swell very alarmingly at first and gradually develop a frightful looking bruise, but from the first it should have complete rest and a treatment of hot and cold douches, the hot being used at first, when the swelling is painful, and the cold later on, as a sort of tonic to the relaxed muscles. The hot must be very hot and the cold very cold, as the tepid water does harm rather than good. For the first day of a strain, when all the wrenched cartilages and muscles are aching, great relief is found in a poultice of egg and salt. To make it, beat the white of an egg till light, but not stiff. Stir in gradually a cup and a half of salt, or more if needed, to make a thick, pastelike leeing. Spread this on a cloth and bandage in place. Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath towel to protect the sheets, since the egg leaks out continually. After this has relieved the soreness begin with Pacific Coast Steamship Co. The Company's steamers leave as follows: FOR SAN FRANCISCO, calling only at Port Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.

A young down town drug clerk who had heard the story of the colored woman who had asked for flesh colored court plaster and was given black by the observant dealer stored the incident away in his mental dust box and decided to use it at the first opportunity. He had not long to wait, for a few nights ago a comely colored girl stepped into the store where he was employed. "Ah wants some can't plaster," she said. "What color?" Inquired the clerk, with affected nonchalance. "Flesh cullah, sah." Trembling in his shoes and keeping within easy reach of a heavy pestle, the clerk handed the woman a box of black court plaster, and he was surprised at the time that the situation afforded so little humor. The woman opened the box with a deliberation that was ominous, but she was unruffled when she noted the color of the contents. "Ah guess yo' mus' a misunderstood mah ordah. Ah asked foh flesh cullah, and yo' done give me skin cullah." The drug clerk is still a little dazed from the encounter, and he has firmly resolved to subject every joke to rigid laboratory test hereafter before using—Rittsburg News. His Dim Idea. A teacher was giving her class an exercise in spelling and defining words. "Thomas," she said to a curly haired little boy, "spell 'ibex.'" "I-b-e-x." Correct. Define it. "An ibex," answered Thomas after a prolonged mental struggle. "Is where you look in the back part of the book when you want to find anything that's printed in the front part of the book." Unforgiven. At a recent banquet in Sydney a descendant of the Macdonalds massacred at Glencoe passed a knife "with the blade foremost" to a member of a famous old family bearing the historic name of the Macdonalds betrayers. Most of those who looked at stigmatized the action as one of contemptibly bad breeding. But one or two understood the significance and knew that the betrayal is still unforgiven.

Mary is very stout, quite deaf and the trusted housemaid of a family in the East park section. Incidentally she seems to be something of an art critic. When she cleans the family rooms, she heard to mutter and shake her head on dusting the pictures, and she seems to be especially severe on a few representatives of the "altogether" that rang in the little den. One day Mary was flirting her dustcloth about in this little room when her mistress happened. Mary was standing gazing intently at a beautiful photograph of Bougueau's "Cupid and Psyche." And phwat pictur' is that?" asked Mary in hard, cold tones. Oh, that is 'Cupid and Psyche.' said the lady rather indifferently. Moody and Sankey, is ut? Well, I have heard of them felleys. Sure, they ought to be ashamed of theirselves."—Philadelphia Record. How He Got Religion. "Did you ever get religion?" asked the revivalist. Well, I should say so—138 pounds of it," replied the man. "A hundred and thirty-eight pounds of religion!" cried the revivalist. "How did you get that?" "The only way that a good many men ever get religion," was the reply; "I married it."—Chicago Post. Baffled. "There's no use," said Mr. Cumrox. "I ain't going to try to superintend the education of my daughters any more." Why not? "We're getting along where I can't follow 'em.
