Continued from First page. stockholders authorized was exhausted in May since which time the company has been debarred by the by-laws from selling any of the additional four thousand shares still in the treasury. The last shares sold for $28.50, but when they had all passed into the hands of individual holders the price rapidly advanced to $40 and $45. The paid officials of the company with their respective salaries are: Secretary—W. H. Blennerhassett, $65 per month. Attorney—Richard Melrose, compensation in proportion to work done. Treasurer—H.

J.C.Sheppard for eight years the efficient Superintendent of the company, resigned in May and J.W.Woodward was appointed to fill the position. Inasmuch as Mr.Fay in his last report made a statement of the purchase of the Durkee ranch, it is not necessary to refer in detail to it at this time. It is however due stockholders who were not in attendance upon the annual meeting and who may have questioned the wisdom of the purchase, to briefly recount the history of the transaction. The Directors of the two companies had been greatly worried for many months over the fact that several engineers all eminent in their profession had done considerable work for the J.R.Newberry syndicate in the basin of the Santa Ana river at Rincon. It was evident to them that some plan detrimental to our interests was being formulated.A little later Mr.Newberry filed upon practically all the water in the river,surface and subterranean.at two different points in this locality.The water taken at one place was to be used for developing power with which to elevate water according to their plan of getting the water out of the river and for power of sale.Other work was also done. We were thus threatened with an attempt to appropriate water which would have resulted in a law suit of great scheme made known to us.Two companies did not care to accept the position but we had ample pretext and elsewhere that these geese were in earnest in their attempts from us the water of the river. We had practical demonstrationing the summer months of the year,the company in one respect of the kee ranch.Had there been no water used on this ranch during months as Mr.Durkee took river the previous summer,into that which the Fullers there would have been little water left for the two companies ing in possession of this property abundance of water was used in the spring and its use discharged later and the thousand inches into the river for use below been truthfully said by Attorney "the Durkee water saved them us past summer."

It was evident to them that some plan detrimental to our interests was being formulated. A little later Mr.Newberry filed upon practically all the water in the river surface and subterranean at two different points in this locality.The water taken at one place was to be used for developing power with which to elevate water according to their plan of getting the water out of the river and for power of sale.Other work was also done. We were thus threatened with an attempt to appropriate water which would have resulted in a law suit of great magnitude and of uncertain termination.for the Boards of Directors of the respective companies interested would have vigorously resisted any encroachment upon our rights to the waters in the river. Our engineers,Messrs.Koebig and Kellogg,after investigation which they were instructed to make reported that the key to the situation was the Durkee property That is,the control of this property by us would effectively prevent the proposed appropriation of water.Messrs.Fay and Armor,presidents of the two companies were delegated to interview Mr.Durkee That gentleman had already given an option to a syndicate of capitalists of San Francisco for the privilege only of developing water on his property for which he was to receive $50,000,and consequently could do nothing until it expired Immediately upon its expiration we secured an option on the entire property,the representative of the syndicate being in San Francisco at the time.Upon his return,however,a few days later,hes sent a check for $2000 to Mr.Durkee and stated that the president of his company would be in Los Angeles the following week when all papers would be passed and the remaining $48,000 paid. Having the option for thirty days,the Directors of both companies,the engineers and the attorneys began to look carefully into the matter.To be still more certain of the wisdom of the step which might be taken,for it was an important one with our attorneys and engineers we waited upon Judge J.S.Capman and Judge A.W.Hutton at Los Angeles and laid the whole situation before them. After carefully looking into the case,the gentlemen advised us from a legal standpoint to make the purchase They also stated that we would have the legal right to bring the thousand inches acquired by Durkee,and which went with the sale,down the river for use on our own ranches. Thus fortified with this eminent legal advice.as well as that of our own attorneys,Messrs.Melrose and Keech,and the unhesiting opinion of our engineers,and also the advice of Mr.W.F.Botsford,the largest shareholder of this company,and a gentleman of excellent business judgment,and Mr.R.H.Gillman,a large shareholder,and a gentleman highly respected for his superior judgment,the Directors of the two companies without dissent or quibble on the part of a single member of either board decided to make the purification in such position as so long been considered and recommended by engineers work，whenever accomplishes companies have signified a wish to act together.The initial security of securing the right of way-taken.A strip of land sixty for a distance about one been secured through the State property by the payment of $150.

With a seeming innocence that would have done justice to Ab Sin, the Heathen Chinee, Li Hung Chang appeared to display the greatest interest in the sewing machines at an exhibition in Edinburgh he visited when in Great Britain several years ago. His excellency's first question was how long it would take for the sewing machine at which he had sat down to do a certain distance—seemingly confusing the mechanical stitcher with a lady's safety at the next stand. Without waiting for any reply to his query or further ceremony Li started sewing a little seam. Nor did he do it badly, a fact which made him seem delighted as a child. For some time the viceroy continued his hemming and, though got away at length by his attendants, immediately sat down at the next machine and insisted on working it. "What is the price?" asked Li at length. "Your excellency shall have it as a gift." was the reply of the exhibitors. "Then I don't want it in that case," observed the simple and bland Li, "because I require two, one for myself and the other for the empress." And he had them. At Bed Time I take a pleasant drink, the next morning I feel bright and my complexion is better. My doctor says it acts gently on the stomach, liver and kidneys, and is a pleasant laxative. It is made from herbs, and is prepared as easily as tea. It is called Lane's Medicine. All druggists sell it at 25 and 50 cents. Lane's Family Medicine moves the bowels each day. If you cannot get it send for a free sample. Address, Orator F. Woodward L.e Roy, N.Y. Thus fortified with this eminent legal advice, as well as that of our own attorneys, Messrs. Melrose and Keech, and the unhesitating opinion of our engineers, and also the advice of Mr. W. F. Botsford, the largest shareholder of this company, and a gentleman of excellent business judgment, and Mr. R. H. Gilman, a large shareholder, and a gentleman highly respected for his superior judgment, the Directors of the two companies, without dissent or quibble on the part of a single member of either board, decided to make the purchase. We were influenced by the prospective law suit which confronted us, which the purchase would and did prevent, and also the title to one thousand inches of water, which of itself was worth the purchase price. I do not know what more could have been done by the Directors to have guarded the interests of the companies, and as for the wisdom of their action, I believe we have not only already had demonstrated, but that the future will yet more fully justify. The price paid for this property, something over 1400 acres and fixtures, was $100,000. Of this $30,000 was cash; the balance in seven equal payments at five percent interest. Live stock included in the purchase was sold for nearly $5000. The income from hay, grain and pasturage will pay the interest on the investment, so that in fact the result of the purchase was the prevention of a suit at law that would have cost many thousands of dollars when once entered upon, and we secured a large volume of water for use when we most need it, and also the control of large interests in the Rincon basin, the chief source of all our water supply. That carefully matured plans had been made by the Newberry syndicate is a matter of personal knowledge to myself. After the purchase was consumed and Mr. Newberry saw the far-reaching result, he sent his attorney, Hon. Charles Silent, to confer with the companies. He came and asked us to join them in their enterprise. Mr. Armor and myself were appointed to investigate the matter. We met Judge Silent in his office, and the drawings were shown and the plans of their company began against the law for damages theretofore done by defendants to quite title to the river. The large number dants and interests involved with an appeal to the Supreme Court taken by the defendants from transferring the case for Angles county (and which determined in favor of them) combined to prevent the placing defendants to a trifectime condition of materially changed with them and several decisions on war made by the Supreme Court institution of the suit seemed a dismissal of the action, a forcement and protection of rights by separate suits when necessity therefor arose. It was dismissed, and $1250 was this company for its share of fees; that is,$1000 to J.S. and $250 to R. Melrose. In 1894 the Bixby brothers against this company asking cree adjudging that they were as riparian owners to 300 water; and that they be also purchase water at stockholders' irrigate their lands lying above Bixby ditch and under the Cajon cannake decision an appeal war to the Supreme Court, but could be heard, Mr. Fay, dent of the company, entered titations with the Bixby whistle in an agreement being exerted all matters in control advantageously to the company. For many years past there has been sluicing the sand from the Cajon canal on to lands, to the damage theretofore by them) of $5000, and act damage was about to be together with a petition for prevention such sluicing absolutely necessary that they should be bad by the company was no other way of getting debris and sand. In the agreed to the Bixby waiver for damages theretofore done lands by the flowing of sand from the Cajon canal, and right of way across their the theme made known to us. The companies did not care to accept their position, but we had ample proof there and elsewhere that these gentlemen were in earnest in their attempt to take from us the water of the river. We had practical demonstration during the summer months of the value to the company in one respect of the Durkee ranch. Had there been as much water used on this ranch during these months as Mr. Durkee took from the river the previous summer, in addition to that which the Fullers diverted, there would have been little if any water left for the two companies. Being in possession of this property, abundance of water was used upon it in the spring and its use discontinued later and the thousand inches turned into the river for use below. It has been truthfully said by Attorney Keech the Durkee water saved the day for the past summer." It has been suggested by some that the Fullers only diverted the Durkee water. It is wholly otherwise. Fuller respects the rights acquired by Durkee, and his attorney has stated that he does not propose to molest these. The union of purpose of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Union Water Company to work together in matters of common interest has been more closely cemented during the year. This is to the mutual advantage of both companies. The interests of both are so equal in guarding the waters of the Santa Ana river, and it must be patent to any stockholder that this can be more effectively done when acting in unison than otherwise. The directors of the two companies have been very jealous of their rights on this regard, and I believe have acted wisely in looking not only to the immediate demands, but placing the companies in such position as to be less liable to future complications with others, and consequent expensive litigation. The two companies recently obtained my purchase a piece of land adjoining the property already owned in the Rincon basin of the Santa Ana river. The property is valuable to the companies chiefly as it gives them complete possession of the river basin from the volufo on one side to the mesa on the other for a distance of three miles in addition to the three miles river frontage secured by the purchase of the Durkee property, and because the intake of the Durkee ditch is on this property, it was thought wise to pro- the canal to the river, for a flume in which to carry the sand and debris from the canal. The company granted to the Bixby's right to receive from the Cajon canal water to an amount not exceeding 100 inches, in lieu of the waters which they were entitled to through the Bixby ditch and the canal by virtue of the decision of the Superior Court. Inasmuch as the Bixby's were entitled, as riparian owners, to at least one hundred inches of water, and as voluminous testimony was introduced at the trial showing that the Bixby's and their predecessors had used, in irrigating their ranch, from 100 to 250 inches of water through the Bixby ditch, when occasion required, from a time antedating the construction of the Cajon canal, it would seem that the settlement of the controversies by the agreement referred to as decidedly advantageous to the company from every point of view. The only suit involving water rights now pending is one brought by this company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company against O. B. Fuller and others to restrain them from diverting water from the river and using it upon lands which we claim is without the water shed of the river. As below stated, a vast amount of costly engineering work has been done to enable us to prove our case when it comes to trial, and we expect and hope to have a favorable decision from the court during the present year. A large portion of the expense attending our litigations has been occasioned by the employment of engineers to furnish necessary data upon which to base our cases so far as physical conditions are concerned. A very thorough hydrographic survey of the basin of the Santa Ana river at Rincon was made, chiefly for the purpose of showing subterranean flow of water. This cost the two companies $2000. The water of the river at various places, as well as in the numerous ditches leading therefrom, was measured with great accuracy and over a long period of time by these engineers. Much other work was also done. The board of directors are not always able to tell the full value of this work, but are compelled to leave this largely to the company's attorneys. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company has shared equally with our company in all these expenses. I have endeavored in this report to give a plain and comprehensive statement of the company's affairs on every material point, and I trust I have succeeded not only in dissipating many erroneous and injurious rumors, but also in convincing the stockholders that their interests have been zealously and carefully guarded, and that the directors have been faithful in conserving the vast interests committed to their management. Today the Anaheim Union Water company is in a prosperous condition, with increasing ability to fill its "Seeing is Believing." When you see people cured by a remedy, you must believe in its power. Look around you. Friends, relatives, neighbors all say that Hood's Sarsaparilla, America's Greatest Medicine, cleansed the blood of their dear ones and they rise en masse to sing its praises. There's nothing like it in the world to purify the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints What the Barber Said. "To shave a man at home," said a barber. "I charge a quarter, but to shave a dead man half a dollar is the price. About a tenth of my private customers are women. "I shave at their houses six or seven women every day. I don't know why it is some women have beards. It is very distressing to them, and they shave close and often. It is their only remedy. The electric needle is no good for them, you see, because their beards are so thick that it would take a lifetime for the operator to go over their faces and pluck each hair out separately, as must be done in the electrical depilitating system. "Beards only grow on old women. They are one of the feminine disfigurements of age. It is the same trouble. I suppose, as that which affects old men. Old men, you know, have thick growths of hair in their nostrils and ears that must be cut out weekly, and their eyebrows if not regularly trimmed would grow to two or three inches."—Philadelphia Record. She Was "Founded." Netta was a little girl who lived in a foundling asylum, a place where homeless children without relatives are cared for. A visitor who often came to the foundling had taken a great fancy to Netta. It was the birthday of Muriel. The lady's little girl, and permission was asked for Netta to take tea with Muriel. As it was Muriel's birthday Netta wished to be very nice to her. At the same time Netta felt she had an advantage over Muriel, for it was not every one who lived in a foundling hospital. "You were born, Muriel?" she asked Muriel nodded and smiled. Up went Netta's head a little higher "It is so common to be born," she said "I was founded!"—Exchange. The two companies recently obtained by purchase a piece of land adjoining the property already owned in the Rinson basin of the Santa Ana river. The property is valuable to the companies chiefly as it gives them complete possession of the river basin from the cliffs on one side to the mesa on the other for a distance of three miles in addition to the three miles river frontage secured by the purchase of the Durkee property, and because the intake of the Durkee ditch is on this property it was thought wise to protect it. The amount paid for the 107 acres was $5000, half of which was paid by this company. The advisability of continuing our main canal further up the river has long been considered and frequently recommended by engineers. In this work, whenever accomplished, the two companies have signified a willingness to act together. The initial step that of securing the right of way—has been taken. A strip of land sixty feet wide for a distance of about one mile has been secured through the Scully property by the payment of $1500. It is recommended that the water be carried in a main canal for the distance of about five miles, or at a point on the north bank of the river opposite the head of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company's canal, where a permanent division gate should be built. This will not only secure a larger volume of water, but prevent material loss and avoid the annual expense of putting in a division gate. These gates at best have been imperfect and unsatisfactory. It is expected that this company will receive due compensation for its property rights in its canal, which now covers about four or five miles, when this enterprise is carried to completion. While reports of engineers, adverse as well as favorable, have been made with reference to a submerged dam at Bed Rock Canyon, no action whatever has been taken in the matter, and there is no prospect of anything being done in the immediate future. While the company is not at peace with all men it has made progress in this direction during the year. Two suits of long standing have been settled, but a new one begin. Water companies, it seems, are destined to have for an item of its annual expense, and often of considerable magnitude, attorney and court fees. While we have begun one suit, yet the prospects are that our expenses for litigation will even be less than they have been for years. In 1893 this company, together with the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, began suit against the Jurupa land and water company and about 175 other defendants to quite title to the waters of the river. The large number of defendants and interests involved, together with an appeal to the Supreme Court taken by the defendants from an order transferring the case for trial to Los Angeles county (and which appeal was determined in favor of the plaintiffs), combined to prevent the plaintiffs from forcing defendants to a trial. In the meantime the condition of affairs had materially changed with the companies, and several decisions on water rights made by the Supreme Court after the institution of the suit seemed to justify a dismissal of the action, and she enforcement and protection of our water work, but are compelled to leave this largely to the company's attorneys. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company has shared equally with our company in all these expenses. I have endeavored in this report to give a plain and comprehensive statement of the company's affairs on every material point, and I trust I have succeeded not only in dissipating many erroneous and injurious rumors, but also in convincing the stockholders that their interests have been zealously and carefully guarded, and that the directors have been faithful in conserving the vast interests committed to their management Today the Anabealm Union Water company is in a prosperous condition, with increasing ability to fill its mission as a water company, with a better rating financially than it ever had, and may be depended upon with confidence by its stockholders. C. C. CHAPMAN, President A. U. W. Co. A Lucid Decision.

It is intended especially for coughs, colds, erup, and whooping cough, and is the best medicine made for these diseases. There is not the least danger in giving it to children for it contains no opium or other injurious drug and it may be given as confidently to a babe as to an adult. For sale by P. A. Derge. An Abrupt Proposal. The reported fashion of the famous Dr. Abernethy’s courtship and marriage is very characteristic. It is told that while attending a lady for several weeks he observed these admirable qualifications in her daughter which he truly esteemed to render the married state happy. Accordingly on a Saturday, taking leave of his patient, he addressed her to the following purport: “You are now so well that I need not see you after Monday next, when I shall come and pay you a farewell visit. But in the meantime I wish you and your daughter to seriously consider the proposal I am about to make. It is abrupt and unceremonious, I am aware, but the excessive occupation of my time by my professional duties affords me no leisure to accomplish what I desire by the more ordinary course of attention and solicitation. My annual receipts amount to £—, and I can settle £— on my wife. My character is generally known to the public, so that you may readily ascertain what it is. I have seen in your daughter a tender and affectionate child, an assiduous and careful nurse and a gentle and ladylike member of a family. Such a person must be all that a husband could covet, and I offer my hand and fortune for her acceptance. On Monday when I call I shall expect your determination, for I really have not time for the routine of courtship.” In this manner the lady was wooed and won, and it may be added the union was felicitous in every respect. A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks. Prof. Roxa Tyler, of Chicago, Vice-President Illinois Woman’s Alliance, in speaking of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says: “I suffered with a severe cold this winter which threatened to run into pneumonia. I tried different remedies but I seemed to grow worse and the medicine upset my stomach. A friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and I found it was pleasant to take and it relieved me at once. I am now entirely recovered, saved a doctor’s bill, time and suffering, and I will never be with out this splendid medicine again.” For sale by P. A. Derge. Pins. Queen Catherine obtained pins from France, and, in 1543, an act was passed: “That no person shall put to sale UNITED MINES MINING COMPANY is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, with an authorized capital stock of $400,000; par value $1 per share; non assessable and no personal liability of shareholders.

Queen Catherine obtained pins from France, and in 1543, an act was passed: "That no person shall put to sale any pins but only such as shall be double headed and have the heads soldered fast to the shank of the pinnes, well smoothed, the shank well shapen, the points well round filed, cauted and sharpened." At this time most pins were made of brass, but many were also made of iron, with a brass surface. France sent a large number of pins to England until about the year 1626. In this year one John Tilsby started plumaking in Gloucestershire. So successful was his venture that he soon had 1,500 persons working. These pins made at Stroud were held in high repute. In 1630 pinmakers combined and founded a corporation. The industry was carried on at Bristol and Birmingham, the latter becoming the chief center. In 1775 prizes were offered for the first native made pins and needles in Carolina, and during the war in 1812 pins fetched enormous prices. Pins vary from 3½ inches in length to the small gilt entomologists' pin; 4,300 weighing about an ounce. Blown to Atoms. The old idea that the body sometimes needs a powerful, drastic, purgative pill has been exploded; for Dr. King's New Life Pills, which are perfectly harmless, gently stimulate liver and bowels to expel poisonous matter, cleanse the system and absolutely cure Constipation and Sick Headache.

The Mystery of Radium. The substance called radium emits radiations resembling the X rays without the application of work or energy from external sources and without appreciable loss of weight. This seems to be inconsistent with the law of the conservation of energy, but the mystery is explained by the calculations of M. Becquerel, which show that a loss of weight so infinitesimal that in a thousand million years it would amount to no more than a milligram would suffice to account for the observed effects. According to this explanation the emanations from radium consist of material particles. But how infinitely minute must those particles be! Southern Pacific Company.
