BIRKE aug2 1050 FOURTH ST., SAN Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1901. USE OF WATER IN IRRIGATION, Report of Investigations Made by the Department of Agriculture. We have received a copy of the report on the Use of Water in Irrigation, from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, from which the following introductory extract is taken. The report is by Elwood Meed, expert in charge of investigations. The investigations described in this report deal with problems whichplex the irrigators and canal builders of the arid West, and which, for the last ten years, have been constantly growing more important. Their comprehensive study is a new feature of national aid to irrigation development in this country. Heretofore the leading object of such aid has been to promote the construction of new canals, to show how much of the land above existing ditches could be reclaimed, and the benefits which would come from such reclamation. It is believed that this investigation will also tend to secure these ends, but its primary purpose is to assist the cultivators under ditches already built, to render the farms now irrigated more profitable, to lessen the controversies over the distribution of water, and to secure its more systematic and economical use. It is the opinion of those best informed that a better understanding of the existing situation must be had before we can wisely plan for future development. Controversies exist over the partial use of streams. These should be ended before an attempt is made to greatly augment such use. The claims to water for existing and prospective ditches on many streams amount in the aggregate to many times appropriations as fixed by the decree amounted to 792 cubic feet per second, or enough water to have irrigated 41,-520 acres on a duty of 60 acres per cubic foot per second, or more than 100 times the water actually needed under the methods now prevailing on that stream. Before the period of crude structures and still cruder ideas had ended, it began to be manifest that the reclamation of arid lands involved more than the overcoming of physical obstacles. It has been found easier to dig ditches than to distribute the water they carry. and to plan headgates and flumes than to frame just laws for establishing titles to water or dividing rivers among rival claimants. The reason for this is found in the overshadowing importance of water. Wherever irrigation is required, water rather than land controls development. It is easy to realize this when it is remembered that in arid lands not a flower will bloom, not a tree bear fruit, nor a field bring forth harvest unless water is supplied by the skill and industry of man; hence, as the reclaimed area has extended and the number of homes dependent on irrigation has been multiplied, the collection, sale, and distribution of water has grown to be a stupendous industry, in which many millions of dollars (estimates vary between $100,-000,000 and $200,000,000) are invested. The many thousands of miles of canals and laterals in the irrigated regions of the United States have reclaimed an area approximately as great as the State of New York, every acre and almost every square foot of which has to be artificially moistened from one to ten times each year. During the growing season this requires the services of an army of men to protect and regulate headgates, patrol the banks of canals, adjust the measuring boxes of users. A TISSUE OF ABSURDITION Statesman Hazard of the Peat Prepartment Upon the Bolsa Dock controversy—Mr. Edwards Shy and Bed of Clams. Frank R. Hazard of Westminster who as President of the Farmers' at that point has been using his power to attack the Bolsa Chica Land pany and the gun club of that ranch has prepared a statement for publication relative to the controversy concerning the gun club, which he characterizes as the "report of the commission Bolsa Chica matter." A copy of pronunciamento has been furnished which we publish, as follows: REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BOLSA CHICA MATTER. In reference to the obstruction Bolsa Chica creek, we will say that Chica is one of the natural harbors of Orange county. It was used to extent as a harbor and haven by ing and pleasure boats, and has pronounced available for common purposes by an expert in navigation this coast. It affords the best harbor in the county. It was the spa place for millions of mullet, a valuable as to command 10 pounds wholesale when other fish only 2 to 4 cents a pound. It was resort of halibut, and other food by thousands. Fishermen say it was the best place on the coast training bait. Its oysters and shellfish were particularly popular and fine. Mr. W. H. Edwards the loss of a bed of long neck which he says were better than chickens when fried. One item of great value was that it furnished the poultry industry. PRIETOR. KES & PIES RY, ETC.

A dispatch from Vienna says: Prof. Andree's will, in which he says that it should be opened at the end of 1900 in case he had not returned from his balloon excursion to the North ole, has now been read. It is accompanied by a series of letters from promocient scientists encouraging him in the angerous enterprise and one from M. Refouvelle warning him against it. On his letter Andree had written in penditches already built, to render the farms now irrigated more profitable, to lessen the controversies over the distribution of water, and to secure its more systematic and economical use. It is the opinion of those best informed that a better understanding of the existing situation must be had before we can wisely plan for future development. Controversies exist over the partial use of streams. These should be ended before an attempt is made to greatly augment such use. The claims to water for existing and prospective ditches on many streams amount in the aggregate to many times the supply. These rights are now vested, and their character must influence what is to be done in the future. When irrigation first began, little attention was paid to the economical use of water or to the just division of rivers among irrigators. The area watered was so small that the owners of ditches did not need to consider how much was used or how much was wasted. They had all they wanted, and because it cost nothing and they were free to take it as they pleased they failed to realize its coming scarcity and importance. Every transaction which had to do with the disposal of streams was marked by a lavish prodigality. Ditches diverted more water than was used. Their owners claimed more than they could divert, while decrees gave appropriators titles to more water than what the highest flood could supply. Little was known of the quantity of water needed to irrigate an acre of land, and in the absence of such information the ignorance and greed of the speculative appropriator had its opportunity. In many cases the contracts which control the distribution of water from canals have been framed by people to whom the whole subject of irrigation was strange and new. It often happens therefore, that these contracts do not promote the best interests of canal companies or meet the necessities of users. The laws which govern appropriations of water from streams have, in most cases, no relation to the actual practice of irrigators, and therefore fail to secure either the systematic distribution or best use of the available supply. As illustrating how little was formerly known of the actual necessities of irrigators, the contract of one canal company provides for delivering one cubic foot of water per second to 54 acres of land. In five months this would cover the land 51 feet deep. Another canal contract provides for furnishing 1 inch to each acre. The laws of the State where this occurred make 40 inches equivalent to one cubic foot per second; hence, in an irrigation season of one hundred and fifty days this would involve the delivery of enough water to cover the area irrigated to a depth of 71 feet. Another contract provides for furnishing 43,560 cubic feet for each acre irrigated, or enough to cover the land to a depth of 1 foot. The headgates of these three canals are only a few miles apart. They take water from the same stream and supply farms practically alike in every respect, yet the first contract provides for supplying 54 times as much as the ditches already built, to render the farms now irrigated more profitable, to lessen the controversies over the distribution of water, and to secure its more systematic and economical use.

This commerce in water has been created by men born and reared in regions of ample rainfall and without prior training or experience in dealing with the problems of irrigation. They had to learn by trial how to frame satisfactory contracts forthe disposal of water from canals and howto use that water properly when delivered.FromtheconstructionofthefirstsmallfurrowsinUtahandCaliforniauptothepresentthegrowthinacresirrigatedhasbeenaccompaniedbyanexuallyimportantevolutioninmethods.Thefixingofaunitofemployedindeliveriedepositionedindeliveryanddistributionofwaterhogswetothecustomersitmaskofmorethanlocalinterest.Muchofthemoneyexpendedin theirconstructioncamefromtheEast.ThesavingsofthousandsofthriftyNewEnglandpeoplehavebeeninvestedinstocksandbondsofirrigationcompanies,asingleagencyinColoradohavinginvested$150000inthisclassofsecuritiesforthesecustomers.Thefailureofacanalcompanytowindustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmaskofthecustomersitmask ofthemountainsitmarkofthesouthwestatnearestanyothercommodity.Situatednearthemostthickpartofthevalley,BolsaBaywouldlikeforbathingetc.oftenhellowedforoneevildayappearedtosceneBolsaChicaGunClub,andporationOfLosAngelesmenboastinganaggregationofwgreatthatitwasgenerallythatlocal,countystateandnationalauthoritiesandofficialsparalyzedandhelplessatthereyTheybought盐marshandothernearbayandnoeffectwhateversofarareoadsareconcerned.

WITH INSTUDENTS Andree's Will. A dispatch from Vienna says: Prof. Andree's will, in which he says that it should be opened at the end of 1900 in case he had not returned from his balloon excursion to the North pole, has now been read. It is accompanied by a series of letters from prominent scientists encouraging him in the dangerous enterprise and one from M. Befouelle warning him against it. On this letter Andree had written in penil: "It is possible he may be right, but it is too late. I have made my preparations and cannot now draw back." The will itself is very short and the introduction seems to show that Andree dreaded the fate that awaited him. The text begins: "I write today probably my last testament, and therefore it is legally valid. Write on the eye of a journey, full of dangers such as history has never yet been able to show. My presentiment tells me that this terrible journey will signify my death." The remainder of the will divides Andree's property between his brother and sister.

Nasal Catarrh quickly yields to treatment by Ely's Cream Balm, which is agreeably aromatic. It is received through the nostrils, cleanses and heals the whole surface over which it diffuses itself. Druggists sell the 50c. size; Trial size by mail, 10 cents. Test it and you are sure to continue the treatment. Announcement. To accommodate those who are partial to the use of atomizers in applying liquids into the nasal passages for catarrhal troubles, the proprietors prepare Cream Balm in liquid form, which will be known as Ely's Liquid*Cream Balm. Price including the spraying tube is 75 cents. Druggists or by mail. The liquid form embodies the medicinal properties of the solid preparation. This commerce in water has been created by men born and reared in regions of ample rainfall and without prior training or experience in dealing with the problems of irrigation. They had to learn by trial how to frame satisfactory contracts for the disposal of water from canals and how to use that water properly when delivered. From the construction of the first small furrows in Utah and California up to the present the growth in acres irrigated has been accompanied by an equally important evolution in methods. The fixing of a unit of measure to be employed in delivering water to users will serve to illustrate this. It could not be sold by the pound or by the ton, nor were there any devices at hand for its measurement or delivery by the gallon. Farmers were at a loss to know how much to buy and canal companies as ignorant of how much they could sell or how to measure it when sold. Brought Good Fortune. A small item in his own paper lately brought amazing good fortune to Editor Chris. Reitter, of the Saginaw (Mich.) Post and Zeitung. He and his family had the Grip in its worst form. Their doctor did them no good. Then he read that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds was a guaranteed cure for La Grippe and all Throat and Lung troubles; tried it and says: "Three bottles cured the whole family. No other medicine on earth equals it." Only 50c and $1 at P. A. Derge's drug store. Trial bottles free.

Human Hazard of the Peat Prepares a Measure Upon the Bolsa Dock Controversy—Mr. Edwards Shy a Bed of Clams. Frank R. Hazard of Westminster, has President of the Farmers' club that point has been using his office attack the Bolsa Chica Land company and the gun club of that name, prepared a statement for public relative to the controversy concerning the gun club, which he characterizes as the "report of the committee Bolsa Chica matter." A copy of the announcement has been furnished us, which we publish, as follows: PORT OF COMMITTEE ON BOLSA CHICA MATTER. The reference to the obstructions in Bolsa Chica creek, we will say the Boltsa is one of the natural harbors of orange county. It was used to some extent as a harbor and haven by fish and pleasure boats, and has been announced available for commercial poses by an expert in navigation on the coast. It affords the best hunting in the county. It was the spawning place for millions of mullet, a fish so unable as to command 10 cents a pound wholesale when other fish bring up 2 to 4 cents a pound. It was the port of halibut, and other food fishes thousands. Fishermen say that it is the best place on the coast for obtaining bait. Its oysters and other shellfish were particularly plentiful and fine. Mr. W. H. Edwards mourns the loss of a bed of long neck clams which he says were better than spring suckens when fried. One item of great value was the shells furnished the poultry industry, it being manifest itself in the Peatlands in regard to the navigation of Bolsa Chica creek, and a mass meeting was held at Ocean View school house to consider the matter. A committee was appointed to present the views of the Peatland people to Captain Meyler, and the date of his visit was ordered to be advertised. Captain Meyler suggested Monday, the 10th day of December, as the date, and the committee advertised that date and advised the people to bring their dinners and call it a picnic. The committee went to the railroad on Monday, the 10th, according to the appointment, but Captain Meyler failed to put in appearance. When called up by telephone Captain Meyler said he had changed the date to Tuesday, the 11th. Over two hundred people gathered to meet Captain Meyler, and a memorial addressed to him expressing regret was signed by 110 of those present. A letter from Captain Meyler was received on the afternoon of Monday, the 10th, stating that he would meet your committee in Santa Ana on Tuesday, the 11th. This letter was dated Friday, the 7th, but was mailed Saturday, the 8th, at 4:30 p.m., which is sufficient proof that Captain Meyler's avoidance of the people on the 10th was intentional. Captain Meyler stated that he wished to meet only two or three of our people. But in a matter which affects the rights of the people and in which they only are concerned, who has the authority to keep the people away? Your committee has a letter from Captain Meyler dated Dec. 15th, 1900, in which he expressed indignation at the action of the people in getting together to meet him. But why he shuns publicity in this matter we do not know. In the afternoon of Monday, the 10th, Captain Meyler telephoned that he would meet at the gun club's dam on Electric Road. Talk of the electric road from Los Angeles to Santa Ana is renewed and it is said work on the line will begin in near future. Recently the Los Angeles Supervisors granted D. H. Thomas, of Santa Ana, a franchise to run an electric railway from La Mirada to the southeastern limits of the city. This is part of the territory proposed to be covered by the new electric line. Before work is commenced on the construction of the new road, franchises will have to be obtained from this city, Whittier and other places through which the line will run. It is expected that these will be readily granted, now that part of the franchise has been obtained. The ordinance granted provides for the running of eight through cars daily between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, the time between cars not to exceed two hours. The franchise is granted for a period of thirty years. After July, 1908, the company is to pay to the county three per cent of the gross earnings of the road, in proportion to the mileage it has within this county. Either a single or a double track may be laid. It is provided that school children under the age of eighteen years will be carried for half fare, provided they purchase $2 worth of tickets at one time. No fares will be less than five cents, but not more than two and one half cents will be charged for over two miles. Freight may be carried between the hours of 10 o'clock p.m. and 4 o'clock a.m. only. The construction of the road must be completed within eighteen months after the date of the contract. A bond of $5,000 is required for the faithful performance of the contract. Mr. Thomas secured the franchise for $5, he being the only bidder. The present backers of the new enterprise consist of stockholders of the It was the spawning time for millions of mullets, a fish so manual as to command 10 cents a pound wholesale when other fish bring y2 to 4 cents a pound. It was the port of halibut, and other food fishes with thousands. Fishermen say that it is the best place on the coast for objining bait. Its oysters and other shellfish were particularly plentiful and fine. Mr. W. H. Edwards mourns the loss of a bed of long neck clams which he says were better than spring ckens when fried. One item of great value was the shells furnished the poultry industry, it being the best place in the county for that purpose, in fact the only place where shells could always be obtained, burnishing the covering for $50,000 worth of eggs a year, and it is certain that the difficulty of obtaining shells in the last year has caused a loss every industry in the county; for eggs are cash or more nearly so than any other commodity. Situated near the most thickly settled part of the valley, Bolsa bay was a popular resort for bathing, etc. In fact, it had rich gifts for every inhabitant of the valley for miles around. But upon one evil day appeared upon the scene Bolsa Chica Gun Club, an incroporation of Los Angeles men mostly, coasting an aggregation of wealth so great that it was generally believed that local, county, state and the national authorities and officials would be paralyzed and helpless at their hands. They bought salt marsh and other lands near the bay, and proceeded (with the consent of the County Supervisors, so the club's attorney suggests) to close up the road leading to the beach, which caused great indignation among the people of the valley who have been protesting and petitioning for a road to the beach, and the supervisors have been conferring, dining and otherwise pollywogging with the club ever since, to no effect whatever so far as opening roads are concerned. One function of Bolsa creek is an outlet for the drainage of the Westminster peat lands, and the dam which the gun club placed across the creek obstructed the flow of the water, and caused much damage to crops near the bay. The farmers petitioned the supervisors to furnish relief, and the board visited the scene of complaint in a body. That honorable body found a bad state of affairs, and determined to attack the club in its most vulnerable part, so they adjourned to the club house and attacked the commissary department with great vigor. They succeeded in making the club house look like a Kansas ranch after a grasshopper raid. But from this club finally recovered. Suit was brought in the Superior Court against the dam as a nuisance, but it was dismissed. The District Attorney was appealed to, to proceed against the club for obstructing a navigable inlet, but he said it was not navigable, and moreover there were no navigable inlets in Orange county that he ever heard of. In the meantime the club had succeeded in shutting out the salt water, and the supply of fresh water flowing into the bay is so small that the water became almost putrid, causing (so both of our avoidance of the people on the river) intentional. Captain Meyler stated that he wished to meet only two or three of our people. But in a matter which affects the rights of the people and in which they only are concerned, who has the authority to keep the people away? Your committee has a letter from Captain Meyler dated Dec. 15th, 1900, in which he expressed indignation at the action of the people in getting together to meet him. But why he shuns publicity in this matter we do not know. In the afternoon of Monday, the 10th, Captain Meyler telephoned that he would meet us at the gun club's dam on the following day at 12 o'clock. He appeared at the appointed hour, having come down from Los Angeles in company with Mr. Dunn, the attorney for the gun club. Captain Meyler heard the evidence of some of those present and argued strongly in favor of the gun club, in fact he seemed to have been stuffed with arguments in their favor. He said that the Bolsa creek is navigable water, that the obstructions in the creek were in violation of law. That the obstruction of the creek by the club did not make it their property, but that it belongs to the public. But he said that the violation of the law was only technical, that there were many wharves along the coast of California which have been built in violation of the U.S. navigation laws, but their builders are never prosecuted. When asked if he knew of a precedent for taking a whole bay, damming it up and appropriating it to private uses he failed to cite a single case. Dunn admitted a violation of law by his clients and disclaimed ownership of the navigable waters of the creek; but said that the club would fence their land which surrounds the bay in such a manner as to exclude the public from having any access to the bay or creek. This plan was warmly approved by Captain Meyler, who strenuously defended it against the argument of a stander, who questioned the propriety of using private property in a way to exclude the public from use of the navigable waters of the county, and quoted several statutory laws and the constitution of the State to sustain his views. Capt Meyler admitted the correctness of the quotations of law, but stuck to his opinion. Finally the question of navigation and violation of law being settled, Captain Meyler repaired to the clubhouse for dinner, after advising the people to set up a written evidence on all points in connection, etc., and submit it to him to decide whether the dam was enough of a blessing to offset its damages to navigation, etc. In Captain Meyler's letter of the 15th inst., he wrote us as follows: "I failed to make a confidant of you and explain in detail just what my future action in this matter would be." As he did outline a plan in detail he must have had another one up his sleeve, as it were. His statements as to what he intended to do seem to form a very uncertain basis for guesswork as to what his action will be. There is said to be no Orange county men in the Bolsa Chica gun club at present. The club has one friend in Anaheim editor of the Gazette, and one Getting Thin is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is club house look like a Kansas ranch after a grasshopper raid. But from this the club finally recovered. Suit was brought in the Superior Court against the dam as a nuisance, but it was dismissed. The District Attorney was appealed to, to proceed against the club for obstructing a navigable inlet, but he said it was not navigable, and moreover there were no navigable inlets in Orange county that he ever heard of. In the meantime the club had succeeded in shutting out the salt water, and the supply of fresh water flowing into the bay is so small that the water became almost putrid, causing (so both of our resident physicians say) malarial diseases, and raising a stench which is very offensive at times even to a distance of several miles. The Westminster Farmers' club have taken up the matter and appointed a committee of investigation which reports that the act of Congress admitting the State of California, also the constitution of the State, and the statutory enactment of the legislature, also U. S. navigation and other laws too numerous to mention, have been violated by the gun club. Two petitions were then circulated and a large list of names were secured of voters in the county. One was addressed to the Governor of the State and mailed to him. No word has ever been received from Governor Gage in reference to this petition. The other petition was addressed to the U. S. Customs Collector at San Pedro, alleging a violation of U. S. navigation laws by the Bolsa Chica Gun club. This petition was very properly referred to Captain Meyler of the corps of engineers in charge of navigation in Southern California. He promptly replied, asking for further information, which was sent. After a correspondence of several months Captain Meyler consented to visit the scene of the complaint to examine the conditions existing there. Captain Meyler asked the Farmers' club to furnish conveyance for him from the railroad to the creek and back, which was gladly agreed to. The complaint against the dam being popular and the interest in the outcome of the investigation being general, a committee consisting of the undersigned was appointed to receive Captain Meyler and present the case to him. This committee was also instructed to so advertise the day of Captain Meyler's visit that all who wished might be present. About this time an interest began to decide whether the duck should be blessed to offset its damages to navigation, etc. In Captain Meyler's letter of the 15th inst., he wrote us as follows: "I failed to make a confidant of you and explain in detail just what my future action in this matter would be." As he did outline a plan in detail he must have had another one up his sleeve, as it were. His statements as to what he intended to do seem to form a very uncertain basis for guesswork as to what his action will be. There is said to be no Orange county men in the Bolsa Chica gun club at present. The club has one friend in Anaheim, editor of the Gazette, and one John Cole, a rancher. They may have one or two more friends in the county, but if so they have nothing to say openly. Practically the whole population is a unit in their denunciation of the selfish, hoggish, law-breaking aggregation known as the Bolsa Chica gun club. As the navigation laws appear to be considered a dead letter, and the Governor seems to have never heard of the principle of free government, that "the right of petition shall not be denied," and as the efforts of our local officials and court seem to be ineffectual to secure us from the encroachments of the violators of law, we recommend that some strenuous lawful action be taken to secure our people the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The right to approach the navigable waters of the county, the right to gather shells on our beaches, the right to boat, fish, shoot, bathe and dig claims, and the right to breath pure air instead of the malaria laden stench forced upon us by the Bolsa Chica gun club.
