DEFICIT, SAYS SHERWOOD; SURPLUS, SAYS KRICK. A Difference of $1200 in the Figures of the Water Secretary and the Head of the Finance Committee. "I am convinced that this is a part of the pre-arranged program to increase the Secretary's salary, which was entered into before the election," said Mr. Sherwood at the meeting of the water board on Saturday, when Mr. Bradford brought up the matter of raising the salary from $65 to $80 per month. "If the Secretary does not wish to serve at his present salary, let him resign; there were a plenty of applicants for the position at those wages when the place was vacated in January, and if the present occupant of the office does not wish to further serve at the present salary, there will be no trouble at all in getting one of the others to serve. "I heard all about this scheme to raise the Secretary's wages before the election; it was talked about on the streets; and this is an attempt to carry out this pre-election contract. I do not think the stockholders will stand for it." Mr. Krick, replying to Sherwood's strictures, said he never yet in his life took a position without expecting an increase of salary. And he never yet failed to receive such increase. The work of the Secretary's office was much greater than he had anticipated when he applied for the place in January, and if the board did not see its way clear to raise his salary, he did not care how soon they discharged him. He had taken in $500 since the board had been called to order. His cash balances always tally to the cent. The work of the office carried with it great responsibility, and he did not see how the board expected a man to serve at $65 and be honest. [Mild sensation.] At those figures a man would have to speculate in stock to get even, and this he did not care to do. He prided himself in the accuracy of his figures, yet the Finance Committee had at the last meeting made him out a defaulter to the tune of. $3000 and over. The report showed there was on hand $6000 available cash, whereas the Treasurer reported only $3000. The committee had included some $3000 of funds as available cash when, as a matter of fact, the same was not available. Their report further showed a deficit of 190 odd dollars, whereas his figures showed a surplus of $1407. granted the request and the taking of the water was continued, the association might in time claim a right to the water. If the Cemetery association desired water to prepare the cemetery for Decoration Day, he said, they should pay for it, same as the others. Pierotti said Barr was interested financially in the Cemetery association, he having some years ago made a deal with the association whereby several acres of his land were included in the cemetery. He is making money out of the transaction, and Pierotti thought he should be required to pay for the water. He moved the matter lay on the table. Seconded by Steward. Smith said he did not think the company had any right to furnish water free to anyone. On a call of the question to lay on the table, Pierotti, Steward and Sherwood voted aye. Adams, Bradford and Smith voted no. The chair voted to lay on the table, and Barr's application was not granted. Supt. Woodward reported that Rod Stone, who was recently discharged as zanjero on account of inefficiency, refused to give up possession of the zanjero's house near the Tuffree reservoir. Pierotti moved the following, which was seconded by Steward and carried: Resolved, That the Secretary be, and he is hereby instructed to serve, on cause to be served, upon Rod Stone notice terminating the leasing by said Stone of the zanjero's house adjoining the Tuffree reservoir, and requiring of him to deliver possession of said premises to this corporation. And the attorney of this corporation is hereby instructed to take such legal proceedings as may be necessary to secure possession of said premises. The Ditch Committee submitted the following report: In connection with the application of J. C. Sheppard and others, we have examined the North Branch ditch and find the Superintendent has placed a new over-shoot and deepened the ditch; and in our opinion the same is in good condition. In regard to the application of Messrs. Holcomb and Barrows, we have decided the company's ditch should extend from the northeast corner of MoDermont's place, southerly to the northeast corner of the Richman and Mills' nursery, thence westerly 660 feet; thence southerly a short distance, thence westerly until it reaches Witmer's place. The petition of Barrows, asking that the ditch running along side the east line of Richman and Mills' nursery be opened up (it having been plowed in last December, in response to a petition granted the request and the taking of the water was continued, the association might in time claim a right to the water.

made him out a defaulter to the tune of $3000 and over. The report showed there was on hand $6000 available cash, whereas the Treasurer reported only $3000. The committee had included some $3000 of funds as available cash when, as a matter of fact, the same was not available. Their report further showed a deficit of 190 odd dollars, whereas his figures showed a surplus of $1407. This was digressing, he said, but coming back to the subject under discussion, he said the office was worth $80 a month for a competent man to attend to all its duties. Sherwood replied that so far as the Finance Committee's report was concerned, there might at times arise a discrepancy between their figures and the Secretary's account of outstanding warrants paid but not yet returned. Krick — All warrants that are paid are returned here in time for the Finance Committee to report upon them. They are here in the office, and you can have them for the asking. Sherwood — My confidence in my figures remains unshaken. Despite the Secretary's remarks, I will insist on believing them correct until they are proved to the contrary. Mr. Pierotti was of opinion the salary was too low. When the company had a good man, he believed in paying him such wages as would make it an object for him to remain. The company had for years received no application for the place, and he was convinced the small salary was the cause of it. He moved the salary be raised to $75 Krick (to Pierotti) — Make it $80. Mr. Adams opposed a raise. He said the reason why no applications had been received for the Secretary's office in recent years was not so much on account of the small salary, but because the former Secretary (Mr. Blenerhasset) had said he could control enough proxies at the annual election to elect three members of the board—— Mr. Crowther — And buy the fourth. Crowther leaned back in his chair, opened his mouth wide and shook his sides with laughter. He was having lots of fun while this important question of state was being discussed, but he laughed on the other side of the face a moment later, when, the board having split three and three for and against the raise, it was up to him to decide the question. Adams, continuing, said he could produce at least one of the applicants for the position at the January election who would be glad to serve at the present salary. Mr. Steward, who opposed Krick's election at the January meeting, but who since then has broken from the corral of the reformers, arose and said that he had been surprised to learn on inquiry that the Secretary's salary was only $65. He had been of the opinion it was greater. He knew the duties of the office were onerous, and he also personally knew that one or two of the defeated aspirants for the place at the new over-shoot and deepened the ditch, and in our opinion the same is in good condition. In regard to the application of Messrs. Holcomb and Barrows, we have decided the company's ditch should extend from the northeast corner of McDermont's place, southerly to the northeast corner of the Richman and Mills nursery, thence westerly 600 feet; thence southerly a short distance, thence westerly until it reaches Witmer's place. The petition of Barrows, asking that the ditch running along side the east line of Richman and Mills' nursery be opened up (it having been plowed in last December, in response to a petition by Richman and Mills, but right of way retained) was thus denied, but the report went over without action owing to the incomplete mapping out of the ditch reported by the committee. John Everharty appeared before the board and asked for a modification of his lease to oil lands owned by the company at Horseshoe Bend. A payment of $400 fell due May 22d, as well as one of a similar amount each year thereafter for twenty years. These payments he asked to be cut out, as he found it impossible otherwise to go ahead with his company. Owing to the failure of the Liberty people near the field, it had been hard to interest capital in that neighborhood, but he offered to go ahead and sink one well 1000 feet by the end of the present year, in the attempt to strike oil, paying the company an eighth of all the oil produced. The board discussed the matter in its various phases, and decided to waive payment of the annual stipend. Attorney Melrose was instructed to prepare a new lease, to report at the next meeting. Mr. Bradford showed up with a board having an orifice 2¼ by 20 inches, which represented a model of a new gate to be adopted by the company. He explained its details, and was given until next meeting to bring in a report concerning the matter in writing. Petition of H. Hildebrandt and Fred Rimpau asking for the repair of a bridge across the ditch on Sycamore street, at the junction of Hermine. Pierotti objected, saying it was his opinion the ditch was a private ditch, and should be repaired by those using it. To the Ditch Committee for investigation. Steward reported that one Lichtenberger who had bought the separator at the Durkee ranch, paying therefor $250, had had to ship the infernal machine to San Francisco and have it repaired at an added cost of $175, and it was in his opinion entirely worthless. He advised that the board, having thus practically obtained money by false pretenses, refund to the purchaser half the sum paid out by him for its repairs. Lichtenberger had made no complaint, asked no rebate and was sawing wood. Sherwood thought it was time enough to talk about this thing when the man made a roar about it. Crowder said everything he sold at Durkee's had made good, and he thought that if the separator was not of account it was Durkee's fault, and Lichtenberger should look to him for redress. Adams made a very interesting ex- Serra dotted his self-denying pathway along the devious trails between Old Mexico and San Francisco. Nowhere else in all the world are there sea trips like these—not long, nor wearisome, not tempestuous; ever-interested ports of call; ever-fascinating because of the sunshine and the sea. Of all this vast ocean, this stretch of several hundred miles of this gold-shore coast best upholds its pacific name. Seldom are there storms of violence. There are courses like that of Santa Barbara channel, famed for their unruffled calm. In this channel many of the big warships of the American navy have tried their official speed, and naval constructors have frequently pointed out the great advantages of this sea-proving ground for Pacific Coast shipbuilding. The vessels of the Pacific Coast Steamship company are new and fast. Accommodations are the best, and the table superb. Voyaging from San Francisco south, or from the Southern ports north, the traveler avoids railroad mountain climbing, and the vexations of dust and heat. The opportunity for rest and recreation is complete. Leaving San Francisco and passing out of the Golden Gate in the clear, early morning air, there comes a restful day on shipboard. Santa Barbara is reached in the morning and Port Los Angeles, leading to Santa Monica and Los Angeles, at noon. Redondo, another port for Los Angeles, is touched in the evening, and the next morning the steamer is in the broad bay of San Diego—a haven that old Spanish navigator Cabrillo declared finer than any of Old World harbors. In making this quick voyage from San Francisco the smaller ports are passed by. These include Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Ventura, are well worthy of a visit if the tourist voyager has an extra day to devote to his coasting cruise. He has his choice of routes, all equally picturesque, novel and satisfying. The indefinable charm of the sea is over all—the dominant feature of all these excursions along the headlands, and between the islands of this southeast country. From time to time the steamer passes beyond the light-crowned bluff of Point Bonita and Point Loos that guard San Francisco harbor, until it skirts the shell-fringed sandpit of Coronado, there are ever-varying sea glimpses. There'sthe odd-shaped, but sturdy lightship rising and falling in the restless currents that wash the harbor bar; there are views of the misty, phantom-like Farallones; there are glimpses of white and green that mark the lights of Piedras Blancas and Point Conception; there are fishing scenes at the wharves; there are herds of cattle or sheep on Santa Rosa island; there are rollicking bathers in Santa Barbara surf. And at fishing-famed Catalina Island, if the traveler lingers to make easy side trip to Avalon, he may see monster tuna caught with rod and reel—a sea sport that draws hither hundreds of adventurous anglers. Here, too, one may fish or go idle sunning in a glass-bottomed boat, and see at one's feet the marvels of the ocean depths. About all of these shore re- Adams, continuing, said he could produce at least one of the applicants for the position at the January election who would be glad to serve at the present salary. Mr. Steward, who opposed Krick's election at the January meeting, but who since then has broken from the corral of the reformers, arose and said that he had been surprised to learn on inquiry that the Secretary's salary was only $65. He had been of the opinion it was greater. He knew the duties of the office were onerous, and he also personally knew that one or two of the defeated aspirants for the place at the annual election had in view a purpose, in the event of their election, to strike the board for a raise. Sherwood, high priest of the reformers, made goo-goo eyes at Steward as he spoke. Bradford—I made a motion while ago to raise the salary to $80. Pierotti — Seventy-five is enough. Let’s make it $75. Steward seconded the motion. Smith moved to lay it on the table. Seconded by Sherwood. The amendment to lay on the table was defeated. The vote on the original motion resulted as follows: Ayes — Bradford, Pierotti, and Steward; noes, Adams, Sherwood, Smith. A tie. The chair (Crowther) scratched his head. It was the second tie vote of the afternoon to stare him in the face. "Why don’t you fellows settle these questions, one way or another, among yourselves?" he asked. Then he continued: "I believe the present salary is too low, when you consider the accumulating duties of the office." After a pause and more scratching of the head, he said: "The chair votes eye. So the salary, which, as Sherwood said, was marked for a raise before the election, was raised, in accordance therewith. Secretary Krick read the following communication: ANAHEIM, Cal., May 18, 1901. To the Honorable Board of Directors, A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: On account of the approach of Decoration Day, and desiring to put the cemetery in better condition, I respectfully ask the Board of Directors for the privilege of connecting an inch-pipe with the company’s ditch for the purpose of getting water into a reservoir for use in the cemetery. E. BARR. Sherwood objected. If the board it was in his opinion entirely worthless. He advised that the board, having thus practically obtained money by false pretenses, refund to the purchaser half the sum paid out by him for its repairs. Lichtenberger had made no complaint, asked no rebate and was sawing wood. Sherwood thought it was time enough to talk about this thing when the man made a roar about it. Crowther said everything he sold at Durkee’s had made good, and he thought that if the separator was of no account it was Durkee’s fault, and Lichtenberger should look to him for redress. Adams made a very interesting explanation of the modus operandi of cream separators, he being familiar with their working. A good separator, he said, must be absolutely level, or it will not work. It makes 750 revolutions per minute, and it must be in perfect equilibrium or it will not be successful. Perhaps this was the fault of the machine referred to by Steward. The matter was referred back to Steward to take a fall out of it. Communication was received from the Santa Ana company crediting the company with $1050 in joint account, also a rebate of interest on Durkee note amounting to $1608.80. The same was ordered to be filled, and receipt acknowledged. Farmers' Club. The Anaheim Farmers’ club will meet at the residence of Mr. Korn, Monday afternoon next, the 27th, at 2 o'clock. A delegation from the Fullerton Farmers’ club will be present, and a discussion of walnut marketing made the special order of the afternoon. A large attendance of members is expected to be present. The Fullerton Farmers’ club meets at the residence of Mr. Staley on Placentia avenue on Saturday afternoon, the 25th. Mr. Staley desires us to extend an invitation to all members of the Anaheim club to attend. For Sale. A six-foot Osborne cutaway cultivator and a fourteen-inch walking plow, both in good condition.

Streble, Anaheim. feb28-tf There are glimpses of white and green that mark the lights of Piedras Blancas and Point Conception; there are fishing scenes at the wharves; there are herds of cattle or sheep on Santa Rosa island; there are rolling bathers in Santa Barbara surf. And at fishing-famed Catalina Island, if the traveler lingers to make the easy side trip to Avalon, he may see monster tuna caught with rod and reel—a sea sport that draws hither hundreds of adventurous anglers. Here, too, one may fish or go idly sunning in a glass-bottomed boat, and see at one's feet the marvels of the ocean depths. About all of these shore resorts of the south sunland the everpresent sea charm is especially strong and luring. For true it is: We here descend to the great white main—To the King of Seas, with the temples bare, And a tropic breath on the brow and hair But all charms of sun, air and sea, all delights of trips to picturesque spots ashore would lose much of their pleasure for the traveler were not the steamers so attractive as to leave cheery pictures on memory's pages. In this respect, with the inauguration of its new express service, the steamship company may justly feel pardonable pride. As staunch and commodious as any craft that float are the three big steamers on this run to Southern California ports. Here the tourist may not only travel and enjoy himself amid surroundings as comfortable as if he were in a city hotel, but the cost of it all is so much less than similar life by rail routes, that a gratifying feeling of economy mixes with the present joys. With gaining health and the bouyant spirits that come from the ocean breezes all the idling recreations possible on shipboard are enjoyed to their limit. In the card and smoking rooms, in the palatial social halls, on the long promenade decks, there is every opportunity for sport and merry-making. The largest vessel of the fleet is the Queen, of 2800 tons, 331 feet long, and accommodating 300 passengers. Next in size is the popular Santa Rosa, of 2500 tons, 326 feet long, and easily and comfortably carrying 250 passengers. The Queen for years was the Alaskan excursion steamer and as such is known world over. Both are steel vessels, with powerful engines that carry them TO SUNNY CLIMES. In the World are There Such As on the Southern California Coast.

Rarely a voyage closes without some resulting testimonial from pleased passengers. And the table and creature comforts—just enjoy one of those on-shipboard meals for yourself and wonder and remember. All the fruits of fruitful California are here. Nowhere but on a semi-tropic coast can such feasts be spread. Seeing the ship, scanning the ocean for distant sails, or picking out, with glasses, picturesque spots ashore—coves, headlands or lighthouses—here's enough for the first day's pleasuring.

EdBustamente cameoverfromRedlandsadayortwoagovisitwithhis THE STORY OF A PIN. Laura Gade, daughter of H. C. Gade, is attending Normal school in Los Angeles, and some days ago, in an idle moment, penned the following sketch. When Prof. Pierce of the Normal heard it pronounced one of the cleverest compositions that had come under his observation in a long time: THE STORY OF A PIN. I have been sharp, bright, blunt; I have made you hunt. Girls seem to have more use for me than boys. I have had a great many experiences during my short life. Perhaps you would like to hear my story. Well, one day my brothers and myself were standing in a very straight row in one of the showcases of a dry goods store. It was then I found out my real value. A young lady came in and paid five cents for about two hundred of us. When I was wrapped in a paper and handed to my purchaser, I was a little down-hearted and wondered what next would happen. The following day I went to town, in a very pretty silk dress, with my mistress. For once I was glad I had no hands and feet. Oh, where we didn't go, and what we didn't get would be hard to say! On our way to town we stopped to give the dressmaker some directions, to make a call on some dear friend, and to exchange some books at the library. Ah! at last I knew we must be in the city by the bustle of people and ringing of bells. It must have been my mistress's shopping day; as we went to at least five dry goods stores, two or three jewelry shops, an art store and—I don't know what you call the place where you get your hair combed. My poor lady sighed as she stood on the corner waiting for the car, and I did not wonder that she did as I looked at the bundles on her arm. For two weeks after that notable day, I was allowed to rest in a nice, soft cushion. But such bliss was not for a slave to mankind. One night I was snatched from the cushion, as the front door bell sounded down stairs. I noticed that my mistress was looking especially beautiful in a dainty ball dress. Covering me up with a long evening cape, she hurried down stairs to join some one in the parlor, whom I knew to be a gentleman by his voice. I don't mean to make fun of my superiors, but if you had heard what I did, you— Distinguished Officer: Gen. E. M. McCook of the U.S. army was in town on Thursday last as the guest of Erwin Barr, who served under him during the civil war. Gen. McCook had been assigned to duty in the Philippine islands, but was taken down in San Francisco with inflammatory rheumatism and was unable to continue his journey. "What brings you down this way?" the reporter inquired of him. "The cars," he replied, with a merry twinkle in his eye. Then he added: "I am engaged in hunting. I am hunting something that beats elephant and tiger hunting, and all other kinds, all hollow. I am hunting health. I am a sufferer with inflammatory rheumatism, and have searched for health in Florida and other health resorts, and am now trying to see what the California climate can do for me." "I am living at a Los Angeles hotel, and came down today to see Capt. Barr, who served under me during the war." The general said he expected to return to Anaheim for the Memorial Day exercises, and might remain in town for a visit of several days. He returned to Los Angeles on the evening train. School Trustee: An election for school trustee will be held on Friday, June 7th, for the purpose of electing a successor to T.A. Darling, whose term expires. Mr. Darling aspires to re-election, and is a candidate to succeed himself. Charley Norman of Loara is also an aspirant for the place. The question involved is over the re-election of Prof. Bird as principal of the West school. Darling if successful will endeavor to displace Bird, while Norman will, if elected, seek to retain his services. Friends of both candidates are actively at work, and doubtless a large vote will be polled on election day. Peculiar Misfortune: Eubaldo Arballo and Miss Isabel Corona of Yorba were married at the Catholic church in this city on Saturday morning. Arballo had rented a house on the Olinda ranch and had furnished it to the extent of his means, when, as he was leaving the church with his bride, a friend rode up and informed him his house had been burned during the night. All the clothing of the newly married couple was destroyed. The bride's father is said to have opposed the match, and did not attend the wedding. Incendiarism is suspected. Local Dots: The salary of the Anaheim postoffice and the man gradually sank down into the ditch, his head above water on one side, his heels on the other. Then he fell into a peaceful slumber. Brunworth espied the sleeping beauty and had a job on his hands getting him out of the wetness. He fished him out and landed him high and dry on the bank, safely out of harm's way. When Brunworth passed by the place at dark the paisano was still asleep by the side of the waters. A meeting of the committee will be held at the armory on Monday evening to make further arrangements. Everybody turn out and help make the celebration a success. Besides the military parade, there will be a grand free barbecue, beautiful floats, city decorated as never before, bands of music playing, bonfires, fireworks and illumination. All the county is invited. PERSONAL MENTION. Ed Bustamente came over from Redlands a day or two ago to visit with his folks. Isaac Lyon has been in town during the week from Los Angeles, visiting with his family. L. L. Whitman of Pasadena was in town on Tuesday in a motorette on his way to Santa Ana. Geo. M. Frink, a prosperous rancher of the Garden Grove district, was in town on business a day or two ago. Mrs. Henry Kuchel and young son are visiting with her parents, Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Bailey, at Phoenix, A. T. Oliver Hill returned on Monday from the session of the Grand Lodge of Odessa Fellows in San Francisco. Oliver reports a way-up time. John Detemple is in town from Bakerfield, visiting relatives and friends. He contemplates remaining. Miss Ruth Smith is home from Berkeley to spend the summer vacation with her mother on Orangethorp avenue. Horace Green of Long Beach, accompanied by his wife and two little children, spent a day or two in town during the week, the guests of Mrs. Crist. Albert Heffner has returned from Pomona, and will remain with his mother until the beginning of operations by the Los Alamitos sugar mill where he will have a job at the filter presses during the coming campaign. Orazzi Salvini, an experienced young blacksmith from San Francisco, arrived on Monday to take a position at Charley Bauer's shop. Orazzi informs us that he went fishing at Seal Rock many and many a time. Senor de la Guerra of Yorba has field of grain which previous to the rainstorm of May 1st he contemplated cutting for hay. But it headed out well he will turn it into grain, and go into the market for hay. N. Hart and wife visited the street fair at San Bernardino on Thursday and Friday last. They also visited Colton, where they intended to devote their attention to placer mining. The trunk will consume three weeks or a month. They will be absent during the summer. Mrs. Schoreck of Chicago, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Freise, is here visiting her parents. Mrs. Shoreck is a not singer, and Anaheimers may have an opportunity of hearing her before her death. The traveler lingers neatly side trip to Avalon, monster tuna caught with a sea sport that draws webs of adventurous anglers. One may fish or go idly sun-bottomed boat, and see the marvels of the ocean about all of these shore reefs south sunland the ever-charm is especially strong. For true it is: bend to the great white main of Seas, with the temples bare, brethren on the brow and hair arms of sun, air and sea, all strips to picturesque spots and lose much of their pleasure traveler were not the most attractive as to leave traces on memory's pages. In fact, with the inauguration of dress service, the steamship may justly feel pardonable at launch and commodious as that float are the three big ships run to Southern Californias. Here the tourist may travel and enjoy himself amid its comfort as if he was hotel, but the cost of it both less than similar life by that a gratifying feeling of extras with the present joys. Health and the bouyant it come from the ocean the idling recreations possi-board are enjoyed to their card and smoking rooms, social halls, on the long decks, there is every oppoport and merry-making. Most vessel of the fleet is the 800 tons, 331 feet long, and carrying 250 passengers. Next the popular Santa Rosa, of 26 feet long, and easily and by carrying 250 passengers. For years was the Alaskan steamer and as such is known over. Both are steel vessels, ful engines that carry them. Now we went into the conservatory to see the flowers. It was in this beautiful spot that my course of life was destined to be changed. Pulling me from my hiding place, the young lady stuck me into some thick, black goods, which proved to be the lapel of a young man's coat (and it wasn't the same person who had come with us to the party, either). After a few more dances I was hurried to my new home. The rest of that night I lay on the top of a dressing table. There was a pincushion not far from me, but the young man was not very considerate of my comfort and did not mind the appearance of his table. The next day my fate was sealed. Picking me up, the young man pounded me into the plaster with a clothe's brush, and hung the dance program of the preceding evening on me. Here I have been ever since. I am beginning to turn yellow and lose my luster. I think I have done enough for the money paid for me. LAURA GADE. Every boy and girl in town seems to be drawing black cats this week. Harris & Falkenstein have inaugurated a drawing contest and are calling it the exhibit of the Black Cat Sketching Club.
