MR. SHERWOOD IN THE CHAIR. New Water Board Organizes, but Defers the Election of Secretary and Other Officers Until Saturday Next. The members of the new water board took their seats on Saturday; all except Mr. Crowther, who was detained at home by an attack of la gripe. The members-elect who took their seats were A. Pierotti, A. S. Bradford, G. W. Sherwood, H. L. Smith, W. W. Adams and L. B. Stewart. A sprinkling of candidates for the office of secretary, as well as for zanjero, were also present. President Chapman of the old board called the meeting to order at 2 o'clock. The members of the old board present were C. C. Chapman, A. Pierotti, A. S. Bradford, A. H. Cargill and M. Nebelung. Secretary Blennerhassett read his final report to the directors, the figures tallying to a cent with those of the finance committee, which follow. Mr. Blennerhassett was to have stepped down and out of the office at the close of the meeting, but on account of the failure to elect his successor consented to remain for another week. The finance committee submitted the following report, showing receipts and expenditures during January: RECIPTS. Balance in hands of treasurer $11,050 02 Water sales, Anaheim 187 45 Water sales, North Anaheim 366 32 Construction 7 20 Repairs 26 60 Cash in hands of secretary $82 94 Returned to consumers 16 53 - 98 57 Balance in hands of treasurer $11,589 02 By 135 warrants paid and returned 10,577 73 Balance cash 961 29 EXPENDITURES.

S. 2 00 Less cash available 961 29 Deficit $412 98 The committee recommended payment of above bills. Superintendent Woodward reported side walked into the Directors' room, took off their hats and took seats. The new members took seats at the table. Mr. Bradford arose and nominated Mr. Sherwood for temporary chairman. There was no opposition, and the question was put and carried before Sherwood could enter his protest. When the new chairman had taken his seat, Mr. Bradford again arose and said that in view of the serious illness of an old an honored member of the board, which prevented his being present, he moved that the meeting, out of courtesy to him, stand adjourned for a week before electing officers to serve for the ensuing year. Mr. Adams arose and said he would second the motion. Mr. Stewart said that unless there was some special reason for adjourning he should incline to object to it. There were some things, he said, which it seemed to him the board should at this time consider. The present Secretary, he understood, would on this day go out of office, and it was necessary to elect his successor, so that the business of the company might go on uninterruptedly. Secretary Blennerhassett here spoke up saying that he would continue to fill his office until his successor was elected and qualified. Mr. Stewart—I had been under the impression that you would decline to serve after today. Mr. Blennerhassett — No, sir. I will remain until my successor is elected and qualified. Mr. Stewart—The election of a Secretary is one thing to claim the attention of the board. There may be others. I do not know. But unless there should appear to be some good reason for adjourning this meeting, I should prefer to go on and transact such business as may come before us. Mr. Pierotti arose and said that inasmuch as the present Secretary had agreed to remain in the office until his successor is elected and qualified, he approved of the motion to adjourn for one week, in deference to the inability of Mr. Crowther to be present. That gentleman was a valued member of the board, and in his opinion it would be lacking in respect to him to proceed with the election of officers. There was no further discussion. The president put the question, which was LOOKS LIKE A TIPTOP SEASON. Rains Have Fallen Copiously, and One Hears No More of the Droneth. Copious showers have fallen during the week, bringing up the total amount of precipitation to 10.81 inches. Last year to date, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, we had 4.98 inches; the year before, up to the 7th of February, 3.35; and the year before that (the season of 1897-8), 3.22 inches. These were three of the dryest seasons in the history of the State. So it will be seen that the rains that have fallen so far this season nearly equal the precipitation of the three past dry years combined to date. When we consider further that the October rains played no small part in the rainfall for the three past seasons (and rains in October are proverbially of little value), it will be apparent that the seasonal rains to date outmeasure the precipitation of the past three dry years combined. The appearance of the country would indicate as much. Never were there such extensive plantings of barley, beets and other crops. Stretching from Anaheim to the ocean at Bolsa the country seems to be one vast field of grain, and it is looking remarkably well. In the country toward Los Alamitos thousands of acres have been set to beets, and the La Habra valley is one vast grain field. The pasturage in the hills was never better. Abundant feed for stock was long since assured. On January 31st the rainfall, according to the Southern Pacific gauge, amounted to 8.65 inches. The weather since then has been showery, and considerable rain has fallen. On the 1st of February .27 of an inch was measured for the precipitation during the preceding night; on the 2d, .14; 3d,.08; 4th, .18; 5th,.30; total for the five days,.97; for the season to Tuesday morning,9.62. A singular feature about the rain is that the weather bureau has been altogether at sea regarding its predictions. Four successive mornings during the past week it has predicted frost, and copious showers made their welcome appearance. One morning a "heavy frost" was predicted, and showers fell heavier than usual. A great deal of sarcasm is indulged in at the expense of the weather bureau, and much of it is uncalled for; but the fact remains Ditch expense: $125.00 Repairs: $125.00 Spreckles Bros. cement: $77.00 Brown & Dauser lumber: $77.00 Griffith Co. lumber: $81.79 Rice George & Co. printing: $10.25 Kuchel H. printing: $10.25 Hardy J. warrior's report: $51.00 Sunset Telephone, Anaheim: $41.00 Sunset Telephone, Fullerton: $8.20 Backs J., rent and light: $5.00 Cahen H., treasurer: $10.00 Cargill A. H., salary: $4.00 Nebelung M., salary: $4.00 Bradford, A.S.: $2.00 Less cash available: $961.29 Deficit: $412.98 The committee recommended payment of above bills. Superintendent Woodward reported as follows concerning operations in his department during the month: "ANAHEIM, Cal., Feb. 1st, 1901. "To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company—Gentlemen: The expenses incurred during the month of January are as follows: Regular employees: $417.40 Repairing ditch on north line of P.

"I have put in good repair all the gates in the Anaheim canal except the one at Mr.Smith's corner. "With but few exceptions, all the wooden gates and drops have been properly repaired the past season, aside from the main canal. "Since the 1st of last May we have constructed 11,433 feet of cement ditch." "Highest cost, per foot, 32 cents." "Lowest cost, per foot, 144 cents." "Average cost, per foot, 164 cents." "I commend your honorable body for permitting so much of this class of improvements, and would urgently recommend that such work be continued as rapidly as possible. We need more water every year; we do not only need it, but must have it. To accomplish such, we must continue to improve at every available opportunity. During the past season we have delivered water on a good deal more stock than any season previous. We also delivered to the Bixbys 100 inches of water, never done before until the past season.Notwithstanding all this we have made our runs nearly, if not quite, as quick as the season previous. Why? Because our ditches are in better condition. "I recommend the strengthening of Cajon canal immediately below the section house at Horseshoe Bend. This is a very weak point.

There was no further discussion.The president put the question,which was carried without objection,and the crowd filed downstairs. It was a very pretty scrap while it lasted. The fight for secretary of the new board seems to have narrowed down to Schoolmaster Krick of Placentia and Schoolmaster Garwood of Orange-thorpe,with M.Nebelung and Capt.Ahlborn following in the order named. Krick is understood to have three votes,Garwood two and Nebelung and Ahlborn each one. Garwood last week announced to his pupils that he would not be with them this week,saying he would occupy his new position of secretary of the water board.In ever he had a chance of election,它 was on Saturday,when Mr.Crowther,who is opposed to him,was away.Nevertheless he has the support of two members of the board,and is putting up a spirited fight for the place.Garwood was secretary nine years ago,and was displaced by the present secretary,Mr.Blennerhassett.The adjournment favors Krick.Yesterday it was said that Nebelung was practically out of the fight.

Minor Differences Between the City Trustees and the Electric Railway Company. The City Trustees held no meeting on Tuesday evening, but it was not on account of the rain, which descended spiritedly. Mr. Tolle of the electric railway company, which was to have asked for a franchise to operate their line through town on Los Angeles street, was in town in conference with Trustees Helmsen and Dickel. He was shown a copy of the franchise as prepared by City Attorney Chynoweth, but objected to various clauses in it. Mr. Chynoweth made several changes in the instrument as presented to the Trustees by Messrs. Swinehart and Tolle at the previous meeting of the board. He telephoned from Los Angeles that the rains had interfered with the running of the street cars and he could not make his train. Therefore it was impossible for him to be at the meeting, and the same was called off. The differences between the two instruments are of minor importance.

Although Soldier Life is not What it's Cracked Up to Be. MANILA, P. I., Dec. 25, 1900.—EDITOR ANAHEIM GAZETTE.—Dear Sir: Please allow me a short space in your paper for the benefit of my friends and schoolmates in and around Anaheim, who may like to hear that I am still alive and well and enjoying the best of health. I am a soldier now, serving in the Philippines. I was enrolled in the army on the 21st day of June, 1899. I have had considerable experience in army life since that time, both in China and the Philippine Islands. I have been in several engagements and had some very hard fighting to do, but I have always been lucky enough to come out victorious in the end. You will hear a great many men kicking about everything in general, but my experience since I have been in the service is that the man that is always kicking and growling is of a dissipating character. My experience has been that if a man carries out his orders and behaves himself it matters not where he is; he will always have the best respect of his surrounding element, and will always get along all right. Since I have been in the service I must truly say that I have no kick coming, for I am more than pleased with my undertaking, and I am taking as good care of my health as is possible, considering the circumstances. In the first place, the greatest part of this island is under water in the rainy season, which starts in July and lasts till December. Of course there is more or less malaria fever, of which I have had my share. Army life is not what it is cracked up to be. There is one old saying that I wish to repeat, and that is that a gentleman can be a gentleman no matter where he goes. If he serves his flag and country or not he can always carry himself as a gentleman. Another thing that I have experienced since I have been in the United States service is that there are always two ways of doing things, the hard way and the easy way, and if a man wishes to carry himself right and behave like a gentleman and be at liberty to enjoy all the easy part of army life and have the good will PERSONAL MENTION.

These rain reports are Mr. Darling for the Southern company, and are furnished to States government through Mr. Chynoweth made several changes in the instrument as presented to the Trustees by Messrs. Swinehart and Tolle at the previous meeting of the board. He telephoned from Los Angeles that the rains had interfered with the running of the street cars and he could not make his train. Therefore it was impossible for him to be at the meeting, and the same was called off. The differences between two instruments are of minor importance. The section giving the railway the right to use steam during some of the hours of the night and early morning is objected to, and if steam is permitted to be used at all it will be in a guarded way. Mr. Tolle says his company desires the privilege of using steam for the purpose of sending out the "trouble car," which is the car that makes such repairs as are necessary along the line of the road. These repairs are generally made late at night, when traffic is suspended, and at such times a dummy steam engine will be required. He also objects to the clause providing that square poles be erected, and claims that round poles are stronger and more to his purpose. The Trustees went over these matters with him, but refused to alter them without consent of the City Attorney. Mr. Tolle intimated his company might be compelled to reject the franchise, and in such event their road would leave Anaheim off its route. He said a route had been surveyed from the bridge over the river northerly to Placentia, and thence west through Fullerton. In that event we should not be on the electric line at all, and if our citizens desired to travel on the line they would be compelled to go east of town and flag passing cars. However, it is not thought the road will give us the go-by. The minor differences between the Trustees and the company will probably be adjusted at the next meeting of the board, and everything will be hunky-dory. Sugar Beets. Senator Jones has begun the distribution of beet seed to farmers. A day or two ago he distributed 7000 pounds in one day, at Loara station. Seed is also being distributed at Buena Park, Compton, Florence, Norwalk and Long Beach. The Senator has accepted 3500 acres for beets in these several localities, and has applications on file for 1500 acres more. The rains have been of sufficient volume to warrant extensive seeding operations, and during the week thousands of acres have been planted. The Senator thinks that at least 2500 acres will be set to beets in the vicinity of Anaheim. The contract price this year is $4.25 for beets of 15 per cent sugar, with freight paid to the factory by the sugar company. This is a substantial advance over the old rate of $3.50 for beets of 12 per cent with an addition of 25 cents for each per cent above that figure. Farmers will this year receive $4.25 for their beets of any saccharine content up to 15 per cent, and an advance Army life is not what it is cracked up to be. There is one old saying that I wish to repeat, and that is that a gentleman can be a gentleman no matter where he goes. If he serves his flag and country or not he can always carry himself as a gentleman. Another thing that I have experienced since I have been in the United States service is that there are always two ways of doing things, the hard way and the easy way, and if a man wishes to carry himself right and behave like a gentleman and be at liberty to enjoy all the easy part of army life and have the good will of his officers and fellow comrades, he can easily do so and always get along all right; but on the other hand if a man wishes to misbehave himself and not follow the orders laid down to him by his officers, it will surely make it hard for him. He will serve the greater part of his enlistment behind the bars of a guard house, better known to you as a jail. Then he starts to kicking and growling at his officers and comrades for giving him the cold shoulder and the tough end of everything. He will always be in trouble. You will find as a general rule that those are the men who are always kicking and are never satisfied. I will now close, but in the course of a couple of months I will drop you a few lines from China. I expect to join my regiment there in the spring. I send my best regards to all my friends around good old Anaheim and a merry Christmas and happy new year to one and all. I remain, yours truly. MARTIN COYNE. I would like to hear from some of my old schoolmates. Address all letters to Martin Coyne, Co.C, Ninth U.S.Infantry, Pekin, China. Fullerton Stabbing. Albert Ebanks, one of the proprietors of the Fullerton Hotel, was stabbed in the abdomen and, it is thought, fatally wounded by a drunken Mexican named Escobar on Sunday night about 9 o'clock. The Mexican, in company of another named Rodriguez, entered the place at that hour, and in an alteration which followed Ebanks was stabbed. The Mexicans attempted to escape, but were placed under arrest and taken to jail, where they were placed under a heavy guard to prevent lynching. Had the wounded man died during the night, there is little doubt that both Mexicans would have been lynched. The Mexicans were taken to Santa Ana on Monday evening's train by Deputy Sheriff Bush. Their preliminary examination will be held at Fullerton on Saturday. Entertainment. The Turners will on Saturday evening have their entertainment and ball at Turner hall. There will be a musical and vocal program by members of the singing section and other talent. Admission, 25 cents for non-members. Members of the Turn Verein, free Music by Meine's orchestra. Public Library. The Anaheim library association has organized by electing the following officers: Fred G. Athearn, preside Fred Ahlborn, vice president; Richie N. Bird, secretary; Rev. James Stoeasuret. The following committee on membership and organization has been selected F.E.Little, Dr.H.A.Johnston,F.Ahlborn, Alva J.Remmel,H.Dickel. The committee has issued the following circular: ANAHEIM, Cal., February 1, 1900. DEAR SIR: We are making an effort to establish a public library in Anaheim. This requires quite a larger penditure of money at the beginning It is our hope to raise this fund by membership fee, and popular subsition. We would like to raise in neighborhood of $1,000. At least much is necessary to get a good work start. If the people of Anaheim will recognize the need of such an institution as a necessity to the intellectual and moral growth of our young women, and will rally to its support there is no reason why we should have a public library on a working site inside of six months. There has been formed a library of sufficient volume to warrant extensive seeding operations, and during the week thousands of acres have been planted. The Senator thinks that at least 2500 acres will be set to beets in the vicinity of Anaheim. The contract price this year is $4.25 for beets of 15 per cent sugar, with freight paid to the factory by the sugar company. This is a substantial advance over the old rate of $3.50 for beets of 12 per cent, with an addition of 25 cents for each per cent above that figure. Farmers will this year receive $4.25 for their beets of any saccharine content up to 15 per cent, and an advance of 25 cents for each additional per cent over 15. It is estimated that from 10,000 to 12,000 acres of beets will be planted for the Los Alamitos factory. Seeding operations have already begun. T. U. C. The young ladies of the T. U. C. —Misses May and Irene Cargill, Melanie Cahen, Theresa Fay, Lexa Roberts, Poldie Heimann, Hettie Welsel, Mabel Middleham and Adella Strodthoff—have issued dainty invitations for a social hop at the Del Campo the evening of the 14th inst. The invitations are written upon a pair of Cinderella-like slippers cut out of cardboard, and laced with white ribbon. Strung upon the ribbon are two miniature hearts cut out of red cardboard. The hop promises to be one of the social events of the season, and the fellow lucky enough to get an invitation will miss it if he don’t go. Local Dots. The Ladies’ Guild meets with Mrs. Cahen this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o’clock. German Evangelical Lutheran services next Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in the Episcopal church. Sunday school at 2 o’clock. Meeting after services. The social to be given by the Malvern Hill Relief Corps, Friday evening, February 8, Masonic hall, Fullerton, has been postponed until condition of the roads is improved. The Southern Pacific company has established a station to be known as Neff, a half mile west of the ranch of J. B. Neff, on the Alamitos railroad. The station appears upon the new time card just issued. Mr. Neff will next summer endeavor to secure a siding, and will make shipments from that point. The Mexicans were taken to Santa Ana on Monday evening’s train by Deputy Sheriff Bush. Their preliminary examination will be held at Fullerton on Saturday. Entertainment. The Turners will on Saturday evening have their entertainment and ball at Turner hall. There will be a musical and vocal program by members of the singing section and other talent. Admission, 25 cents for non-members. Members of the Turn Verein, free. Music by Meine’s orchestra. Death of Mrs. Simpson. Mrs. Kate Simpson died at her residence on West street on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o’clock, from the effects of a factured hip, sustained by being kicked by a cow in April last. Deceased had no relatives here. She was aged about 61. The body will be shipped to Los Angeles today for interment. LA HABRA MAN MARRIED. Among the overland passengers arriving at the Natick House a few days ago was a lady who registered as “N. V. Dawson, Indianapolis, Ind.” She was unattended, of goodly appearance and exemplary in conduct, but attracted some attention on account of having shown much anxiety concerning somebody who was to have met her at the railway station, but failed to do so. She sent telegrams and worked the telephone, and once let drop, in a moment of over-confidence, a word to an attendant about the hotel, to the effect that she couldn’t understand why “he” failed to meet her. Yesterday A. F. Bardine of La Habra came in and registered at the Natick, and immediately the cloud passed from the countenance of the lady in question. Nobody so stated, but it was accepted as a fact that Mr. Bardine was the man who had promised to meet his old love from Hoosier-dom, and by some accident had failed to keep the appointment. Last night, while it rained heavily, a closed carriage drove to the door of Rev. Dr. Day at Teeth and Hill streets, and put down a couple who wished to be married. Dr. Day performed the ceremony, and filled in the certificate with the names of “Nellie V. Dawson” and “Alfred F. Bardine,” and now two hearts beat as one.-L. A. Times.
