Some days ago a gentleman representing the California Water and Forest association arrived in Anaheim for the purpose of soliciting membership in the association and for collecting annual dues from those of our citizens who had already become members. His business over, he entered into an extended criticism of Gov. Gage, for vetoing a bill appropriating $107,000 for the purpose of conducting an investigation into the water resources of the State, coupled with the making of topographic surveys therefor, and for other purposes. That a better understanding may be had of the matter, we publish the Governor's message vetoing the bill in question: I herewith return to your honorable body without my approval, with my objections thereto, Senate Bill No 7, entitled "An Act to provide for the joint investigation with the Federal Government of the water resources of the State, and of the best methods of preserving the forests thereof; appointing a Board of Water and Forest Commissioners to conduct such investigation on behalf of the State, and making an appropriation for the expenses of such investigations." The bill establishes a Board of Water and Forest Commissioners, and appropriates $107,000 as a special fund for the carrying out of the purposes of the Act. The commissioners by this act have power to enter into contracts with the representatives of any department of the Federal Government for the purpose of making topographic surveys and a joint investigation of the water resources of the State and best methods of developing, controlling, and utilizing the same, and the best methods of preserving the forests. While this measure might contribute to the success of this effort, it can never be successfully as-sailed. The Supreme Court has already decided that a stream cannot be diverted from its natural water-shed. What does Newberry think of this? Does he hope for a reversal of that decision? If he so hopes, he will undoubtedly be doomed to bitter disappointment. Perhaps Newberry has rights which are bound to be respected. So have the valley irrigators. Perhaps Newberry may be given water to irrigate his 600-acre tract at Rincon, but we doubt if even that land can be given priority over the riparian rights in the valley. But certain it is that he cannot be permitted to gather in the water of the river for other purposes, to the detriment of the irrigators of this county. "Right or wrong," said an irrigator the other day, "Newberry will never be permitted to take that water. He will never get a decision of the court upholding him, and any advantage which he may endeavor to take over the irrigators will result in the assembling of a thousand men with shotguns at Rincon to insist upon our rights." We do not countenance resort to a "shotgun" policy; but the sentiments voiced by this irrigator are entertained by every water user in the valley. Take away this water, and Orange county might just as well be blotted off the map. But there is little danger of it. Newberry cannot and shall not be permitted to rob the irrigators of property rights which they have devoted a lifetime to acquire. Reports are in circulation to the effect that an electric railway line will be constructed from Long Beach to Santa Ana, and another from Los Angeles to the latter city. The latter road is probably the one which has recently secured right of way through this city, and is under- The bill establishes a Board of Water and Forest Commissioners, and appropriates $107,000 as a special fund for the carrying out of the purposes of the Act. The commissioners by this act have power to enter into contracts with the representatives of any department of the Federal Government for the purpose of making topographic surveys and a joint investigation of the water resources of the State and best methods of developing, controlling, and utilizing the same, and the best methods of preserving the forests. While this measure might contribute to important and beneficial results to the State, the large appropriation which it carries, when considered together with the large appropriation demanded in the purchase of the Redwood Park under the terms of Assembly Bill No. 873, make it impossible for me, at this session, to approve both bills without resulting in great burden to the taxpayers, or the necessity of my disapproving other more pressing and needed appropriations which are before me. The question, therefore, to be decided by me was whether this measure or Assembly Bill No. 873, should be vetoed, for it would be an injustice to the taxpayers of the State to approve both bills. Upon mature consideration, and in view of the representations made to me by numerous citizens of the State that the magnificent redwood trees were likely to be destroyed, thereby resulting in irreparable injury to the State, and imbued with the desire that a portion at least of the Big Basin of the Redwoods should be preserved as a public park, where poor and rich alike might enjoy the pleasures of these grand groves of nature. I felt it my duty to slightly overstep the lines of strict State economy inaugurated by the Republican party, and obligatory upon me, and to approve the bill for the establishment of the Redwood Park. In exercising this choice, I am compelled to veto the present measure, which might otherwise meet with my approval, because the preservation of the redwoods appears to me a matter of urgency as well as of greater necessity and importance. On a call of the Senate to find whether the Governor's veto should be sustained, twenty-four Senators voted to uphold the executive, and only six dissented. We quote the Governor's message for the reason that we believe an insidious attempt is being made to misconstrue and misinterpret his position, but the man must be hypercritical indeed to find fault with his action. His watchword is economy. He is carrying out to the letter his pledges to the people. That is what they expect of him. We do not believe the California Water and Forest association will endorse this method adopted by one of its representatives of insidiously attacking the Chief Executive; but that some busy-body, scenting the REPORTS are in circulation to the effect that an electric railway line will be constructed from Long Beach to Santa Ana, and another from Los Angeles to the latter city. The latter road is probably the one which has recently secured right of way through this city, and is understood to be backed by H. E. Huntington. Concerning the former a Long Beach correspondent says, writing under date of May 9th: It was a source of surprise this morning to the citizens of the east end of town when upon awakening they found the surveyors and their stakes for the proposed Santa Ana and Long Beach railway in their very back yards. The route has been gone over somewhat secretly and as little known at the Santa Ana end of the line as at Long Beach. Recently the board of trade appointed a committee to confer with the builders, who are all Santa Ana people, and it is believed a satisfactory agreement was reached. The Los Alamitos land company has given the movement an impetus by granting a right of way through its property. The board of trade will meet in special session next Tuesday night, when the matter will be finally settled and application made to the council for a right of way through the city. It is believed the terminus of the line will be at San Pedro, although Long Beach is now the western extremity. H. E. Huntington has recently disposed of his Southern Pacific holdings, and is now giving his attention to his street railway properties in San Francisco and Los Angeles. That the electric line project by D. H. Thomas and others of Santa Ana will be under his control, is said to admit of little doubt, and it is also understood he is back of the Long Beach and Santa Ana line. The route of the latter has not yet been made public. The construction of these two lines of electric railway will result in giving the people cheaper rates of transportation, and will be advantageous to Orange county in many ways. ELECTRIC FRANCHISE, Whittier People in a Quandery Over the Situation. The organization of the Los Angeles Suburban Railway company and the announcement that one of the routes proposed passing through Whittier has revived interest in the proposed line from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, with a loop through that city. Defendants deny that most of ditches were dug or made prior to year 1892, and that they or any of them have ever since been used for drainage of said land described plaintiffs' complaint; or that ditches or any of them carried worm said lands into Bolsa Chica bay on a natural channel to the Pacific ocean continuously, or uninterruptedly adversely to these defendants for more than five years prior to the building said dam, or for any other time at all. Defendants have no knowledge information sufficient to enable them to answer, and therefore deny that in year 1899, or at any other time plants planted, or caused the land scribed in their complaint to be planted into celery or other crops, or any or that eleven acres of said land planted to celery. Defendants deny that said land was well prepared said planting, or put in a fit stature cultivation for the planting of cecum or any other crop, or that said land was cultivated in the proper or way of cultivating land planted to celery, or that said celery was grown or maturing in Dec. 1899, or at other time, or that the same was woven in the field, or at any other place, all, the sum of $1375, or any sum that it was worth said sum or any at said time, or any other time. Defendants deny that but for the tending of said dam or the backing worm upon said land, said crop worm have been harvested, or would yield a full, or any crop of first- or any, celery, or that the same worm have been worth, or would have so harvest time for the sum of $1300 any other sum, of that said crop would have sold upon the market $125, or any other sum, per acre if field, or at any other place, or at any defendants allege that said celery so alleged to have been planted upon said premises was improper planted, and that the ground was properly prepared for cultivation that said crop was not cultivated during the period of its growth, and that same was neglected and permitted to become partially worthless by person of gross negligence of proftiffs, and not by reason of the constitution of defendants' dam or any acts of defendants, or either of them. Defendants deny that about the day of November, 1899, or at any time, or while said crop of celery growing, or before it was mature ready for harvest, said defendant either of them, did unlawfully erect in or across Bolsa Chica We do not believe the California Water and Forest association will endorse this method adopted by one of its representatives of insidiously attacking the Chief Executive; but that some busy-body, scenting the approach of the campaign from afar, has taken this means of discrediting the most popular Executive the State has ever had. We merely add that the attempt was stale, flat and unprofitable. Gov. Gage was subjected to these puny attacks before the assembling of the last state convention, yet he swept them away as so many cobwebs. Perhaps this sort of campaign is beginning again. But the cause of any man must be hopeless indeed who expects to profit by such miserable "campaigning." Certainly Henry T. Gage was never placed in the Governor's office by such means as that; nor can he suffer in the estimation of the people by such idle and pusillanimous practices. Let the irrigators of Orange county—the shareholders of the Anaheim Union and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies—have no fear that the courts will award Newberry, the would-be water grabber, 15,000 inches of water for his 600-acre tract at Rineon, while only 3000 inches are left to be apportioned to the 25,000 acres of land in this county. Much of this land has enjoyed this right for forty years. No court in the land would render such an absurd and untenable decision. T. S. Van Dyke, the eminent Los Angeles authority upon hydraulics and water rights, has stated that the people of this valley have the best water right in the State, and advantageous to Orange county in many ways. ELECTRIC FRANCHISE, Whittler People in a Quandery Over the Situation. The organization of the Los Angeles Suburban Railway company and the announcement that one of the routes proposed passing through Whittler has revived interest in the proposed line from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, with a loop through that city. In January a franchise was granted D. H. Thomas, secretary of the Santa Ana and Orange Motor company, for an electric road over the two principal streets of Whittler. According to the provisions, work must begin on the road on or before July 20, and thereafter twenty men must be employed twelve days in each month until it is in operation. No application for a franchise has been made to the Whittler council, but J. H. Spires of the Los Angeles Suburban Railway company has been in that city, and has looked over a route through the La Harba Valley southward. In conversing with real-estate owners along this line, he stated that it was the intention of his company to build its road over a private right of way in the open country, and that the tracks would be laid in the highways only through the streets of cities and towns. He also stated that the franchise granted to D. H. Thomas of the Santa Ana and Orange Motor company had been assigned to his corporation. On the other hand, a letter from E. I. Tolle, manager of the Santa Ana and Orange Motor Company, states that the road will positively be built by the original grantee, that the company to do the work has been organized, and incorporation papers filed. It is difficult for the people of Whittler to ascertain just "where they are at" on the electric railroad question. If the Santa Ana people still hold the franchise, it will be necessary for them to make a start in the near future, or let it expire. It is an exceedingly liberal franchise, and it is doubtful if another party could secure such easy terms. Black cat hoslery at Harris and Falkenstein. ALL DRAINAGE DITCHES CAUSE LOSS OF CELERY. Chica Land Company Answers Complain of D. H. Thomas Who Asks Damages for Loss of His Crop. The months ago D. H. Thomas and Farrar of Santa Ana began suit against the Bolsa Chica land company for recovery of $1275, alleged to have been sustained by their celery year and a half ago, by the affair of the existence of the dock across Bolsa Chica channel. The land company has filed in court which makes interesting reads follows: Defendants say that they have no hedge sufficient to enable them to bear, and they therefore deny on intention and belief that the plaintiff Thomas was or now is the owner of certain forty acres of land deed in plaintiffs' complaint, or of land in the vicinity of defendant's causes. Defendants further deny pitches were cut along the sides of land described in plaintiffs' complaint prior to the building of defendant for the purposes of draining land or for the purpose of keeping water off said land so as to enable plaintiffs either of them, to cultivate said land, or to plant the same, or activate, raise, or harvest crops. Defendants deny further that Bolsa Chica bay had a natural channelling it into the Pacific ocean, or at all. Defendants deny that plaintiff Thompson to the first day of Oct., 1899, or other time, had expended large sums of money in draining said crop preparing for or reducing the cultivation, or in cultivating the crop in digging or keeping open said crop for the purpose of draining said crop into Bolsa Chica bay, or for any purposes, or at all. Defendants that prior to the building of said crop at any other time, plaintiff was, or any other person, had used land and kept the water off him under the same by running said crop into the Bolsa Chica bay, or in another manner, or at all, or that said crop flowed into the Pacific ocean by natural channel. Defendants deny that most of said crops were dug or made prior to the 1899 and then on any of them that were drained into the same; defendants deny further that the building or maintenance of said dam has caused the mouth of said channel where it formerly emptied into the Pacific ocean, or at any other point, to be filled up with sand to a considerable or any extent, or that the same has impeded the flow of said water. Defendants deny further that by reason of the building or maintenance of said dam, or for any other reason the land described as belonging to the plaintiff Thomas could not be drained, or that said water could not be taken off said land, or that said dam was maintained or the water kept on said celery until the same was thereby destroyed, and defendants allege the facts to be that the land described as belonging to the said Thomas was not properly drained, by reason of the carelessness and negligence of the said plaintiffs, and that if any damage was done to the celery of the plaintiffs, that said damage was caused by the gross neglect and incompetence of the plaintiffs or by natural causes, or by both. Defendants also deny upon information and belief, that for one or more, or any year or years prior to the building of said dam plaintiff's land had been planted or cultivated to celery, or that good crops had been raised thereon, or that said crops matured properly, or were harvested therefrom, or that they grew or kept in good condition or fit for marketing up to the usual time for marketing celery, or up to any time, or at all, or that said celery or any celery raised upon said land was sold for as high prices as other celery raised in the neighborhood, or that said crops were sold for from $100 to $125 per acre in the field, or for any other sum, or at all. Defendants deny that said land was suitable for the cultivation or growing or maturing of celery, or that the same was known as good celery land, or that the crop grown thereon in 1899 would have been a profitable crop or would have produced a large amount of celery, or that the same would have properly matured, or would have kept or remained in good marketable condition until time for harvesting, or that water was prevented from flowing off said land by any act of these defendants, or either of them, or that the same was backed up thereon, or around said celery during the latter part of 1899, or during the early part of 1900, A ONE-LUNGER, SURE ENOUGH Perry Taylor of Santa Ana Gets Along Quite Well With Half the Ordinary Breathing Apparatus. Perry Taylor of Santa Ana has the unique distinction of being one of seven men who in the history of medical practice has lived after undergoing an operation for the removal of an entire lung. Taylor is 26 years old. Four years ago he came to the conclusion that he had consumption and consulted a local doctor, who treated him in the regular way for a time for tuberculosis of the lungs. Later the physician became convinced that Taylor's lung was affected with hydated cysts, and changed the treatment accordingly. An operation for the removal of the cysts was then performed, and no less than 240 of them, ranging in size from a small pea to that of a hen's egg, were taken out through an aperture in the patient's side. But more of them grew, and although the operation of removing them was from time to time repeated, it was at length decided to attempt a more heroic course of treatment and remove the affected lung in its entirety. The operation was successful so far as removing the lung and the cyst was concerned, but a yawning void was left in the man's anatomy. Taylor is getting used to doing with only one lung, and has devised a novel method of cleaning the pleural cavity while the process of healing is going on. His apparatus is a rubber tube with a six or seven-inch long curved silver nozzle, attached to an ordinary four-quart water bag. Just above Taylor's waist on the right side is a vulcanized rubber tube, which marks the center of a large scar. Through this tube he inserts the silver nozzle and then turns on the water, which contains a disinfectant. After turning the nozzle around several times so as to thoroughly irrigate his internal economy it is withdrawn. Then Taylor gathers himself up like a bucking bronco, coughs, and there issues from his side a column of water like a miniature geyser, which ceases at intervals only when by a twist of his body the stream is shut off from his side and finds vent through his mouth with equal force. His general health is about normal or as it was for a long time. HAVE your eyes accurately OPPOSITE CITY.

An important commercial deal at Santa Ana some days by which the Newport Lumber company were transferred party of capitalists represented U. Nofziger.

Defendants deny that the damage caused to said celery alleged to have been raised on the land in said complaint described in 1899 was caused by the building or maintaining of said dam by said defendants, or by impeding or stopping the flow of water from or through said drainage ditches, or through any natural channel, or by preventing it from flowing from said bay into the Pacific Ocean, or by causing the water to back up on said land, or around said celery, or damaging or destroying the same, or that said crop of celery was damaged or destroyed by the construction of said dam, or by the backing up of said water by these defendants, or either of them, or in any other manner than by reason of the gross negligence and incompetence of the plaintiffs in planting, cultivating and harvesting said crop, and from natural causes. Defendants deny that all or any of said celery was damaged or destroyed by any act of these defendants or either of them, or by the construction of said dam, or by the backing up of water, or that the value of said celery so alleged to have been destroyed was $1257 or any other sum. Defendants deny that the plaintiffs or either of them have prior to the commencement of this action, or at any other time, demanded of the defendants, or either of them, any sum or sums as damages or compensation for the value of said celery so alleged to have been destroyed by defendants' acts. And for a further and separate defense, defendants allege that the defendant Bolsa Land Co. is the owner of all the lands covered by the waters of Bolsa Chica Bay, and of all the lands upon which the ditches referred to in plaintiffs' complaint discharge their said waters. Defendants allege further that the ditches so constructed were completed at their lower end upon the lands of said defendants without any right, and that the construction of said ditches and the discharging of water therefrom upon said lands of the defendant company is without any right or permission from defendants or either of them, or their predecessors in interest in said lands. Defendants allege further that the precipitation of water from the lands of plaintiffs by means of drainage ditches to and upon said lands of defendants is against the will of defendants, and is a trespass upon their said lands, without any right, and Do you read OUR ADVERTISEMENT?

TOPEKA, Kans., May 13.—Governor Stanley to-day received a letter written by Foreign Minister Lansdowne, at the request of King Edward VII, thanking the Kansas legislators for their resolution of sympathy over the death of Queen Victoria. This is the third communication the legislators have received from King Edward since they passed their resolution of sympathy. In the first they were thanked for their "sympathy and loyalty." They objected to this phraseology, which placed them in the attitude of being loyal to the British throne, and the King's letter was expunged from the record. The King heard of this action and expressed his regrets to Embassador Choate, explaining that a subordinate had sent out the wrong letter of thanks to the Kansas Legislature. The letter received to-day is in proper form. Soubi island of the South Natuna group, after forty-two days of horror, and taken abroad a junk two months later, which landed them at Singapore. April 12 the Angola was wrecked on a coral reef when six days out from Manila and went to pieces soon after she struck. The boats were smashed and the crew made two rafts out of the wreckage. They had been twenty-two days at sea when one man died and then one by one the other sailors died and their bodies were thrown to the sharks. A Frenchman went mad and attacked the captain with an ax, and when the mate went to the captain's assistance, he killed him with the ax and drank his blood and ate his brains. The others killed the Frenchman and ate part of his body. Then one of the survivors died, until but two were left, who subsisted on small fish taken with hooked nails and lines made of pieces of canvas. They drifted until after forty-two days of terrible suffering they were washed on the island of Soubi on November 24. By that time their bodies were covered with large boils and they were so weak that they could not walk, but had to crawl on their hands and knees. There were about 200 natives on the island. The men went up to the chief's house and lived there for about two months. They had only coconuts, mangoes and little fish to eat. After living there about two months, a Chinese junk arrived from Singapore with a cargo of rice and the survivors went on board her. They stopped on the junk for two months and then went on in her to Pulo Madi and thence to Singapore. Bicycles and Sporting Goods. A full stock of bicycle supplies.

The deal embraces all the lumber yards and real estate in connection therewith owned by both companies, the former of which has operated retail yards in Santa Ana, Granua, Redlands and Riverside, while the latter has conducted an exclusive wholesale business, and one of a good cal. of magnitude. The sale means that the headquarters of the companies, which have hitherto been maintained Santa Ana, will be moved to Los Angeles and that Santa Ana will no longer figure as a wholesale lumber point. This is indicated by the fact that Nofziger has already sold the land now.

Southern Pacific ticket office, corner Los Angeles and Santa Ana streets, Anaheim, Cal. Emerson's Last Lecture. In his "Eccentricities of Genius" Major Pond tells the pathetic story of Ralph Waldo Emerson's last lecture, delivered in the Old South church in Boston for the fund to save that building from demolition: "As he began reading his lecture the audience was very attentive. After a few moments he lost his place, and his granddaughter, sitting in the front row of seats, gently stepped toward him and reminded him that he was lecturing. He saw at once that he was wandering, and, with the most charming, characteristic, apologetic bow, he resumed his place, an incident that seemed to affect the audience more than anything else that could possibly have occurred. A few moments later he took a piece of manuscript in his hand, turning around with it, laid it on" Notice of Assessment ANAHEIM UNION WATER COMPANY.

There is no doubt about that. Do not profess to be able to enter into the exact reasons for that fear; whether it be that man instinctively recoils from contemplation of the fallen teme alone or what not, it is sufficient that the fear exists. Neither is this instinctive fear of the dead confined to man. I owned a horse once that could never be driven past a dead horse. The animal exhibited all the signs of true fear. Fear coupled with shock can produce insanity. I do not think that the reason of a normal man would be unseatable if he were locked up alone with a corpse for many hours, though a person with weak nerves certainly might be so affected. If a man discovered that his sweetheart had died suddenly while alone with him, the shock might render him insane. Even to those most familiar with death and dead bodies there is something awe inspiring about a corpse, and no man's nerves are proof against a night. I remember once, when I was alone in the dissecting room at night, the hand of the subject upon which I was engaged became loosened. I did not notice what had happened. Suddenly the arm of the subject swung round, and the hand struck the side of my face. Years of training in immunity from superstition vanished in the jump that I gave—Dr. John D. Quackenbos in New York World. She Knew. A clergyman while catechising his Sunday school had occasion to ask the children the meaning of the word epistle." A little girl in the youngest class was so certain that she knew that she did not hesitate a minute, but with the greatest of confidence, answered, "An epistle is the wife of an apostle."—New York Sun.

Boston for the fund to save that building from demolition: "As he began reading his lecture the audience was very attentive.

A few moments later he took a piece of manuscript in his hand, turning around with it, laid it on a side table. Just then one of the audience said to me (I think it was Mrs. Livermore or Mr. Howe), 'Please have the audience pass right out,' and, rushing up to Mr. Emerson, said, 'Thank you so much for that delightful lecture; then, turning around, waved the audience to go out. "He probably had been speaking about 15 minutes. The audience passed out, many of them in tears. It was one of the most pathetic sights I ever witnessed." His Exact Words. Interviewer—Alderman Swelhed, I have come to get your views on the proposed change in the curriculum of the grammar school. Alderman Swelhed—Curriculum! What's that? I'm ag'in it, whatever it is. Alderman Swelhed, reading the report of the interviewer next morning: "Our distinguished townsman, Mr. M. T. Swelhed, was found at his charming home, surrounded by abundant indication of ripe scholarship and sturdy common sense. In reply to our reporter's question he said: "I do not desire to force my opinions upon the public, but this I will say, that I have given to this question long and studious attention, incidentally examining into the curricula of institutions of learning both at home and abroad, and although I find in the existing course of study not a few matters for condemnation, still, upon the whole, I cannot say that I should advise any radical change until I have further time to examine into the subject."
