Mr. Chapman's report to the shareholders of the water company, which we publish in another portion of this issue, should be read with careful attention by everyone in the community. So much has been said of late in criticism of the company (criticism which, as Mr. Chapman points out, is altogether without foundation) that the report will be read with added interest therefor. The many acts of the directors during the past year (and the twelfemonth has been crowded with work of momentous importance) are treated fully and impartially: among them being the Durkee purchase and the settlement of Mrs. Bixby's suit on terms advantageous to the company, about both of which we have heard a lot of late. The financial credit of the company was never better, and its business has grown to large proportions. While minor reforms may be necessary, the company's interests have, we believe, been looked after carefully and conscientiously during the year. Another rain has fallen, giving us .96 of an inch on Sunday and Sunday night. The total for the season is 7.55 inches, and prospects are excellent for more to follow. This is more rain than we have had during any of the preceding three "dry years," and on all sides a feeling of confidence in the future is apparent. Judging by all indications, we are upon the eve of the most prosperous year in the history of the county. Miles upon miles of grain has been seeded and the area to be set to MR. ARMOR GIVES ADVICE. Let the Stockholders Cling Together. Elect Good Men to Office, and Stand by the Directors. EDITOR GAZETTE:—It was not very discreet in me to call attention to the evidences of weariness manifested by Sherwood, as it only stimulated him to try to hold out a little longer. Having nothing new to offer, he went back to the beginning to commence over again. He says he is still of his "original opinion that some more representative method of electing directors should be devised." If the method of electing directors were open for debate, it would not be difficult to prove, to any one with a modicum of sense, that there can be no more representative method than the present one, whereby each stockholder is allowed the same relative voice in the election that he has interest in the company: but since the method of electing directors has been established by the State Constitution, it is not a debatable question and Sherwood's "original opinion" is worse than useless—it is foolish. To make his usual fling in yielding a point he adds: "As a compromise, however, I will concede that the proxy-chasing method is the only one by which Armor can be elected." Yes, or anybody else—or even to get a quorum; but Armor is not chasing proxies and Sherwood is. Two weeks ago I heard he was loaded down with proxy blanks. After pointing out that Armor agreed with him fully, or nearly so, in two of his contentions, Sherwood stultified himself by saying: "Anyhow I don't want to follow his example, and decide everything in my favor." Now, if Armor agreed with him in some of his contentions, he certainly did not set the example of deciding everything in his own favor. be exercised by the people themselves; and since corporations are creatures of law, there are no served powers or powers of any kind that are not expressly stipulated by the general law, the charter and laws. Section 305 of the Civil Code reads in part as follows: "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 members more than eleven directors, to elected from among the holders of stock." A note on the case of Mayweather vs. Fireman's Fund Ins. Co., 34 Ct. 48, reads as follows: "The directors of a corporation are its chosen representatives, and constitute the corporation for purposes of dealing with others. They are the mind and soul of the corporate entity, and what they do as the representatives of the corporation, the corporation itself deemed to do." The foregoing language draws from a supreme court decision, in line with what I have stated over again, but in much stronger clearer terms. To illustrate this truth thus set forth, that "the directors constitute the corporation for purposes of dealing with others," pointed out in a previous article only on a resolution of the board directors could corporate property be transferred. The only respect that Sherwood designs to make convincing arguments like that some attempted witticism. We can't he make a manly acknowledgment in recognition of the truth. Leaving the legal status of all powers of the board of directors settled, let us look at the expediency side of the question. Sherwood in effect that the stockholders out to decide such momentous questions and put up a committee to keep secret! Admitting that the stockholders Another rain has fallen, giving us .96 of an inch on Sunday and Sunday night. The total for the season is 7.55 inches, and prospects are excellent for more to follow. This is more rain than we have had during any of the preceding three "dry years," and on all sides a feeling of confidence in the future is apparent. Judging by all indications, we are upon the eve of the most prosperous year in the history of the county. Miles upon miles of grain has been seeded, and the area to be set to sugar beets will be nearly if not quite 15,000 acres. The Queen of England died at Osborne house, Isle of Wright, on Tuesday morning. The greatest event in the memory of this generation, the most stupendous change in existing conditions that could possibly be imagined, has taken place quietly, almost gently upon the anniversary of the death of the queen's father, the duke of Kent. The end of this career, never equaled by any woman in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osborne house. This most respected of woman, now dead, lies in a great four-posted bed, a shrunken atom, whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who, in 1837, began to rule over England. Around her were gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within veiw of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the prince consort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words the white-haired bishop of Winchester prayed beside her, as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and the man who is King of England, the woman who has succeeded to the title of queen, the princes and the princesses and those of less than royal designation listened to the bishop's ceaseless prayer. The wheels of the world were jarred when the announcement came. The greatest figure in the history of the present age has passed away. The loss to England is irreparable, to the world at large the death of the Queen will exert a most potent influence. There is considerable excitement throughout Southern Texas over the wonderful oil strike that has just been made three miles south of Rowmont. The well is owned by After pointing out that Armor agreed with him fully, or nearly so, in two of his contentions, Sherwood stultified himself by saying: "Anyhow I don't want to follow his example, and decide everything in my favor." Now, if Armor agreed with him in some of his contentions, he certainly did not set the example of deciding everything in his own favor. Again, in order to prejudice the popular tribunal against me, he submitted one of his contentions with the condition that, "If Armor can be restrained from acting as the jury," he would leave the matter to the readers of the Gazette. In a spirit of fairness and as a precaution against such insinuations, I suggested in my second article that appeal be taken on the legal questions to some competent authority. I have taken counsel in the matter and know that the law quoted by me was applicable and fairly construed. If, then, having the law and the facts on my side, I cannot claim the verdict, I will be compelled to ask for a change of venue on the ground of bias of the court. Before entering upon the discussion of the powers of the board of directors for the fifth time, it might be well to call attention to the utterly inconsistent views advanced by Mr. Sherwood on the subject. In one breath he seeks to have the directors superseded by a manager and in the next he wants them set aside by the stockholders; that is, in one paragraph he advocates an absolute monarchy, and in another unbridled democracy. The reason for one and the same person promulgating these extreme and opposite views is not far to seek. He favors government of the company by a manager, when he hopes to become the manager himself; but when he fears that Crowther and his associates might be continued in office, then he wants the directors stripped of all power. He acts very much like a demagogue, who is trying to make the people feel as though their rights had been curtailed in order to win their votes. In one article he characterized himself as the mouthpiece of the unrest so generally prevalent (or words to that effect); but it would bother him to show any credentials authorizing him to use his mouth in behalf of others—the surface indications are that he is the principal fomentor of that unrest, for reasons best known to himself. At all events, the remedies which he recommended for the Leaving the legal status of its powers of the board of directors settled, let us look at the expedient side of the question. Sherwood is in effect that the stockholders owe to decide such momentous quests and put up a committee to keep secret! Admitting that the stockholders are entitled to know what going on when such information be given with safety, the difficulty arises from the quasi-public character of the corporation. Our company has between 1300 and 2000 stockholders and whatever is given to them is necessarily given to the whole world. When Orange County Fruit Exchange formed, correspondents flocked to meetings of the board of directors from all sides and made public all the proceedings. It was found that rival interests were gaining advantage of the information; the detriment of the exchange; the doors were closed. No private corporation can allow to let all its plans and methods known to its competitors; and if the government finds it necessary to withhold information from its own citizens. As to put up a committee to keep secrets to the stockholders had all been into confidence, "that is too still anything;" besides, I am unwilling to consider any board of directors selected by the suffrages of the stockholders, as antagonistic to the restests of those stockholders or so worthy of confidence that they should outside that board to keep their secrets for them. I will turn aside for a moment consider a personal matter. Two weeks, perhaps months ago Santa Ana Herald gave out an email news to the effect that I had out my shoe stock in order to do myself to the water question. The item was published in that I never knew; but while it was terribly absurd there was no reflection in it upon me. Two weeks ago Fullerton Tribune, which is no ways discreet, grouped that uhorized statement with the lovearies paid the directors, plainly mating that there must be boo-matched with the water management, and put the whole under caption: "Who pays the freight? My first impulse was to apply this district attorney: but, when I The greatest figure in the history of the present age has passed away. The loss to England is irreparable, to the world at large the death of the Queen will exert a most potent influence. There is considerable excitement throughout Southern Texas over the wonderful oil strike that has just been made three miles south of Beaumont. The well is owned by C. W. Lucas, who has succeeded in making a test of the flow, showing that the output for one hour was more than 700 barrels. At this rate the well has a flow of 18,000 barrels per day of twenty-four hours. It is the greatest oil strike in the history of that industry. The oil spouts out of a six-inch pipe to a height of seventy-five feet in a solid stream. The pressure is so great that no cap can be placed on the well and nearly 50,000 barrels of oil have flowed into the ravines near the well. These ravines are being drained as rapidly as possible, but many thousands of barrels of oil have already gone to waste. Prices of land in the vicinity of the well have gone soaring skyward. One tract of ten acres sold for $50,000. Fabulous offers are being made for leases on prospective oil lands of that section. Civil Service. The U. S. Civil Service examinations will be held at several places in each state during March and April to secure young men and women for various government positions. Last year upwards of 8000 such appointments were made without political influence. No fees are charged.

L. Rogers next Monday afternoon. A full attendance of members is requested. In one article he characterized himself as the mouthpiece of the unrest so generally prevalent (or words to that effect); but it would bother him to show any credentials authorizing him to use his mouth in behalf of others—the surface indications are that he is the principal fomentor of that unrest, for reasons best known to himself. At all events, the remedies which he recommended for the alleged incompetency and usurpation of the board of directors are, in plain terms, a dictatorship and anarchy; but whether they are to be applied at one and the same time, or alternately as he has presented them, deponent sayeth not. Mr. Sherwood complained in his first article because the holders of large blocks of stock had so much influence in the affairs of the company; now he wants the influence of the directors restricted because they have such small holdings of stock relatively to the whole amount. As before shown, the relative influence of the stockholders is regulated by their relative interest in the company, represented by shares of stock; but the influence of the directors results from the office they fill, and not from the size of their holdings of stock. As a matter of fact, each director represents the entire stock, or at least so much of it as voted for his election, in every act that he performs for the company. The vital difference between Mr. Sherwood and myself about the powers of the board of directors is that he doesn't recognize the representative character of officers, and I do.

Co., 34 Cal. bills as follows: 2. directors of a corporation chosen representatives, and statute the corporation for all cases of dealing with others. Are the mind and soul of the state entity, and what they do representatives of the corporation itself is led to do." Foregoing language drawn upon a supreme court decision, is in with what I have stated over again, but in much stronger terms. To illustrate the thus set forth, that "the direct-constitute the corporation for all cases of dealing with others," I ded out in a previous article that on a resolution of the board of directors could corporate property transferred. The only response Sherwood deigns to make toencing arguments like that is he attempted witticism. Why he make a manly acknowledge-in recognition of the truth? Having the legal status of the sons of the board of directors as said, let us look at the expediency of the question. Sherwood says defect that the stockholders ought decide such momentous questions out up a committee to keep it! Admitting that the stock-good investment for the two companies. The directors are not as black as they have been painted; even Sherwood admits that he never believed there was anything wrong on the part of the directors of either company. The development of the canal system, so far as it can consistently be done, is right and proper; but it should also extend to joint work of the two companies where there is a common interest. There has no joint work been agreed upon yet up the river, and when any is undertaken all the necessary precautionary measures will be provided for. There is nothing criminal in holding secret sessions of the board of directors; but the better way is to have all sessions public and handle the private business in committee. The receipts and disbursements of the company should be reported once a month, and maturing obligations should be met by assessments. The present method of electing directors, having been established by the State constitution, is unassailable; besides, it is fair and just that each stockholder be allowed the same relative voice in the election that he has interest in the company. There is no warrant in law for the appointment of a manager to take the place of the board of directors, although there may be one or more managers under the control of the board. The directors of a company are its chosen representatives, and constitute the corporation for all purposes of dealing with others. The stockholders cannot legally exercise the powers delegated to the board of directors by the general laws, the charter and by-laws, and there are no reserved powers; while there is no law against stockholders advising the board, ordinary prudence would suggest that such advice be intelligent and well-disposed and not be presented as a demand. Aside from the light thrown upon corporations generally, this discussion has shown that brilliant wit and cutting repartee will not take the place of positive knowledge and substantial facts in an argument, and that personal abuse, sneers and insinuations react and injure the person indulging in them more than the person at whom SHERWOOD GETS FACETIOUS. Tells the Story of a Newspaper Correspondent Who Hid in a Gopher Hole. EDITOR GAZETTE:—So the Sphinx has spoken at last; and though we are not likely to get very fat on the crumbs of information that have fallen from the table of the mighty, I suppose we must be content. “No time to give details, the nineteenth century has closed,” “the purchase is absolute,” Armor is busy, “the certificate of title is locked up in the S. A. V. I. Co’s safe,” the stockholders may go to the devil, (and Fuller has the water). I suppose we may as well shut up, and pay up when “Crowther and his associates” shall say the word. “Crowther and his associates?” We had suspected as much. However, as I wish Mr. Armor no harm, I hope this warning will arrive in time. Mr. Associate Director Pierotti was last seen, clad in his war paint and “orientals,” disappearing across the sandwash. If too late, I will see that he is buried under the deodars up the river; that his headstone is marked requiescat in Durkee; and that his grave is kept green with the 1000 inches of water. Armor is right about that feeling of lassitude. Many others have confessed to a similar feeling, but what can I do? Like the boy in the story leading the calf, I can't let go, so I suppose I must wait till it grows up and quiets down. You will remember that in chapter 1 of the Elucidations, which fell upon me as unexpectedly as a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, he started the rumpus by referring to my poor literary effort as a “bid for employment.” Now that was a nice thing to say to a poor engineer working overtime at starvation wages to keep Crowther's cement ditches down to a size that would not make were not sufficiently in the gaze know what was trumps. The general proposition, how has nothing to do with the world was put into operation. After treaty of peace had been signed, the two companies, the front pants dog started out one fine tailing, followed by the necessarily dient tail. On his way up there he snapped up a few choice mats carelessly left unguarded. However, only served to whet his petite, and he proceeded on quest. As he entered the confessor Durkee ranch, Durkee sailed COMING, and AT ONCE CRAWLED UP THE TOP OF HIS TALLEST SYCAOMORE dog came up to the foot of this land and the following conversation sued according to a corresponde who was hidden in an adjoining gopher hole. “How much land have you?” “1400 acres.” “How many lots in Rincon?” “18.” “How many chickens?” “272.” “How much water goes wiranch?” “1000 inches.” “Got certificate of title?” “Sure.” “Got any affidavits?” “See that factory over there.” “Give you $35,000.” “Nit; never asked less than 000. You can have it for that to the tender feeling I have felt but you had better make up mind pretty pronto; as a pair shrewd business men come nearly all the capitalists United States intend to buy water and take it goodness where.” “All right, we'll take it,” a tail wagged obediently and aptely, for there was nothing do.

Another instance, of how an unwanted attack on organizations general public interest reacts in the assailant, came to my no-last week. An inquiry was made into a good engineer for a four months' job and without waiting for answer the opinion was added Sherwood wouldn't fill the bill, so no company would employ a man who had made such a spectacle himself as he had done in this mission. This incident was read to me by a reliable party as actual fact, and I have used it point a moral and adorn a tale." Now, having gone over the entire discussion presented by Mr. Wood, I believe that an impartial would decide that the following were successfully maintained by him: The Fay episode merited little attention on the start, and to keep harping after his death was bad taste, to the least There is nothing in the story that the tree ranch was offered for $35,000 or a portion of the price was paid to berry. Large majority of those best suited with all the conditions believe purchase of the ranch, together its water and water rights, was a Local Dots. A new diversion at Fullerton is said to be the placing of specs on blind pigs. The practice is said to be quite exhilarating.

Backa, Jr., Secretary Building and Loan Association, Anaheim, Cal., 10-tf tury vocabulary as a "baby" Sabe? You will remember the charming little tale, that Mr. Aesop told Armor's friend Archimedes, some time ago, about the ass in the lion's skin. It is said that history often repeats itself, but let us hope that the threatened exhibition will be deferred. Now as to Mr. Fay. I will take chances on being believed. Mr. Fay universally created the impression among his acquaintances of being a man of great force of character, of great public spirit, and of unimpeachable integrity. He was an engineer of skill and experience in the management of large affairs; and his connection with the A. U. W. Co. was of great benefit to that corporation. Had he been allowed to carry out his ideas, chaos would already have been reduced to order. This impression is not likely to be changed by any sneers thrown out by Armor. Mr. Fay gave to me as his controlling reason for recommending the purchase of the Durkee ranch, the following statement: He said that the S. A. V. I. Co. was out of debt; had its ditches well cemented, and its other affairs in good order; and felt that the time had arrived when they could afford to spend money in the long-talked-of development of water up the river. Either we had to join them, and become joint owners of any property acquired, and assist in any work undertaken for the development of water, or BE FOREVER shut our. We were somewhat in the position of the tail of a dog; had to go where the dog wanted to. Mr. Fay said that though we had a possible reservoir system to fall back on, the needs of the future rendered it imperative that we be not shut out of such rights, even though the burden should be somewhat heavy at present; a statement which I believe will receive the approval of every stockholder in the district. It renders the whole matter intelligible. Why our directors persist in keeping this view of the matter secret is beyond my comprehension, unless they NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company will be held at the Office of said Company, in the "Backs Building," City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, on Saturday, January 26th, 1901.

Between 6 and 7 o'clock that day he approached the crossing from the north, intending to pass along the street to the south side of the track, and as he drew near the crossing noticed a long train of freight cars coming from the west, moving along the sidetrack near the main line, in the direction of the station. He was driving a horse hitched to a light buggy, and on nearing the crossing not out of his buggy and waited until the cars were clear of the crossing. As the cars passed to the east side of the street he saw there was no locomotive attached to them at the west end, and not into his buggy and started to cross the track. At the same time his attention was directed to two box cars approaching from the west, following after the freight train. He waited until the box cars had cleared the crossing and passed to the east side in the direction of the station, so locomotive being attached. Thinking the cars which had just passed constituted what is known as a "flying switch," and looking to the east in the direction of the main track, his view being obstructed by the two box cars, hearing no sound but the rumbling of the freight cars which were still moving on the side track, he looked next along the main track for the locomotive which he supposed had pushed one car along the siding. Plaintiff says that, not seeing or hearing any locomotive, bell or whistle or warning of any kind, he proceeded to cross the side track, and that when on the main track, about ten feet south of the siding, his buggy was struck by a car which was passing the crossing from the east and he was thrown out with great force, falling on his head on one hard street and recovering injuries which caused him to be confined to his home two weeks at one time and one week at another; that during this time he was compelled to have a physician and nurse in attendance, suffering intense pain and mental anguish; that he still suffers as a result of the injury sustained, and has been compelled to take his position with the Anaheim Union Water company, which brought him in an income of $65 per month; that he has been during all the time since the 16th of November unable to do any kind of work, and will not be able to for a year, and possibly more.
