BARROWS OF FULLERTON MAKES CHARGES Says a Ditch Was Changed in Order that a Certain Man Might Corral all the Waste Water. Mr. Barrows of Fullerton appeared before the water board on Saturday in support of the following communication, which had been signed by himself, Rev. Holcomb and numerous others: To the Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: We the undersigned stockholders respectfully petition your honorable body to re-establish and maintain the ditch between the property of Richman & Mills and that of A. McDermont in Fullerton, indicated by dotted line on accompanying diagram, which request we make for the following reasons: Because of the failure to maintain this ditch, rain water and waste water from the company’s ditches is turned into short private ditches instead of being conducted away in the company’s ditches; the result being that it flows over and across the lands to the south and west of the present terminus of the company’s ditch, causing much damage and great inconvenience to the property owners of that vicinity. Mr. Pierotti of the Ditch Committee had just recommended another route for the ditch, and the board as a compromise offered to permit the petitioners to open up the ditch as outlined by them at their own expense, when it would at some future time assume control of it and keep it in repair. To this Barrows objected, saying he had paid into the company during the past year and a half $180 for water and assessments, and he claimed the company had never expended so much as 25 cents for his convenience as a stockholder. He went to the map and pointed out that the ditch as recommended by the Ditch Committee would not obviate the difficulty complained of by him—that whenever there was waste water it ran upon his property, damaging him to no inconsiderable extent. Under the old ditch, which was plowed in last year on petition of Richman & Mills, waste water was turned upon unoccupied land until such time as it could be shut off, and this did no damage. Barrows—Richman wanted the old ditch, which gave us better service than the present ditch, plowed in because it ran alongside his nursery. (Pointing on the map.) He takes his water out of the ditch here, and when he gets through with it he turns it loose and it runs upon my property, here demanding it northeast corner of the des Granges place there was no means of measuring the water in either of the ditches. Supt. Woodward said he had called the attention of zanjeros to these matters and had asked them to report all places where loose measurement of water was practiced. Supt. Woodward submitted the following report: ANAHEIM, Cal., June 1st, 1901. To the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company — Gentlemen: My expenses for the month of May are as follows: DITCH CLEANING.

The Superintendent reported that Samuel Kraemer had entered a protest to the taking of gravel from the present pit, claiming that the property was purchased as a reservoir site, not a gravel pit, and that further excavation would encroach upon his property. The Superintendent was instructed to purchase gravel elsewhere. Mr. Nutt wrote from Glencoe, Ill., enclosing deed to right of way for a ditch at his Nutwood ranch. The ditch being in poor condition on account of the excavations made by the railroad, the matter was referred to Mr. Adams for investigation. Petitions of Mr. Keallher and Godrey Stock for a cement ditch and arch. Referred to Ditch Committee. The board here went into executive session to consider John Everharty’s oil proposition. A.S.Bradford was granted a two-months’ leave of absence, to attend the Buffalo exposition. ANAHEIM WILL PAINT 'ER RED Will Eclipse all Former Celebrations of the Glorious National Holiday. That Anaheim will have easily the greatest celebration of the Fourth ever held in the history of Orange county, is now practically assured. The Celebration Committee, composed of fifty of the leading citizens of the northern portion of the county, have buckled down to work in earnest; the chairmen of committees have been selected with special reference to their abilities in the line of work assigned to them, and from all quarters come reports to the effect that the entire northern portion of the county will turn out en masse at the celebration on that day. The people of this city will see to it that their visitors will be amply repaid for their visit ready the amount of money collected approaches $800, and $1000 will be accumulated by the glorious national holiday. This money will be expended with the single purpose in view of entertaining our visitors as handsomely as this rare and radiant old town can find it possible to do. Anaheim will be in its best bib and tucker, and will hold out the glad hand to all those finding themselves within her gates. For those in from country a barbecue of forty-five fat and juicy mutton, beeve's heads by the score, and pork and beef will be provided, sufficient to meet the needs of thousands. No one will be permitted to go away hungry from the feast. Seats and tables will be provided for all. A thousand loaves of bread have been ordered, and all the trimmin' of a grand barbecue feast will be free to all. The morning hours will be devoted to the civic and military parade. There will be floats innumerable, including the usual patriotic displays, and floats from the different outlying towns—Fullerton, Placentia, Olive, Buena Park, Los Alamitos, Clair, Garden Grove and Westminster. It will be the greatest parade in the history of the county. Several brass bands are being negotiated with, among them the best musical organizations in Southern California. Handsome prizes will be offered for the best floats and tournouts. The electrical demonstration will be easily the finest ever seen in Southern California, outside the larger cities.

The residence of Edwards Navarro at Yorba was destroyed by fire some evenings ago as a result of an explosion of a coal-oil lamp into which kerosene was being poured while it was lighted. A dranddaughter of Mrs. Navarro, a young married lady, desiring to fill the lamp, procured the coal-oil can, unscrewed the top of the lamp, and began filling it, while the burner and lighted wick hung suspended at the side of the bowl. An explosion immediately occurred, setting the room ablaze. The inmates saved little if any of the contents. There was no insurance. Young Artists. The competitive drawing of the predatory, predaceous feline quadruped inaugurated some weeks ago by Harris & Falkenstein was brought to a close on Friday evening, when the judges, Miss Roberts and Miss Rector, made the award. First prize fell to Alice Hunn, second to Agnes Rimpau, and the third was a tie between Emma Backs and Blanche Mickle. Appropriate prizes were offered. Many drawings of funy cats were submitted, and the competition excited great interest among the closing deed to right of way for a ditch at his Nutwood ranch. The ditch being in poor condition on account of the excavations made by the railroad, the matter was referred to Mr. Adams for investigation. Petitions of Mr. Keallher and Godfrey Stock for a cement ditch and arch. Referred to Ditch Committee. The board here went into executive session to consider John Everharty's oil proposition. A. S. Bradford was granted a two-months' leave of absence, to attend the Buffalo exposition. Handsome prizes will be offered for the best floats and tournouts. The electrical demonstration will be easily the finest ever seen in Southern California, outside the larger cities. Five great pyramids of red, white and blue electric lights will be placed at various points; one at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets, one at Lemon and Center, one at Los Angeles and Chartres, one at the City Hall, and one on Los Angeles street near Broadway. It is aimed to have these towers hung with a thousand colored electric globes. What with the illumination of private business houses, the City Hall and at other points; with red fire lighting up the heavens from the apex of the towers, and the most splendid display of fireworks ever made in the county, the spectacle ought to be one calculated to give visitors visions of joy that will not soon be forgotten. The afternoon will be devoted to athletic sports, racing, baseball, football, and other exercises. An effort is being made to have a competitive drill between the Orange county companies of the National Guard. For this a valuable trophy will be awarded the winner. It has been suggested that Major Finley, commanding officer of the battalion, act as judge of the contest. Gen. Last, Brigadier-General commanding the regiment: Col. Berry and Major Diss have been invited to be present during the celebration. The following committees have the celebration in hand: CELEBRATION COMMITTEE. Anaheim—A. H. Cargill, Frank Shanley, H. A. Dickel, Herman Stern, Charles J. Fay, F. J. Ahlborn, Geo. E. Boyd, John Hartung, F. G. Athearn, L. Kroeger, I. Ascher, Richard Melrose, J. W. Duckworth, Charles A. Norman, T. A. Darling, Alex Henry.

A. H.Cargill, Frank Shanley,H.A. Plerotti said that at the time of making the ditch Miles' agent had assured him that if it was placed where it is, Miles would gladly give a deed to right of way. Miles was absent in the East, and on the word of the agent the work was undertaken. When Miles returned he refused to sign a right-of-way deed. He objects to the ditch because he claims it interferes with the natural flow of rain water, which settles in a certain part of his orchard, doing irreparable damage. The matter was referred to Sherwood to make a further survey and report at the next meeting. Richard Schellens wrote from Chula Vista, San Diego county, saying that when he called at the company's office April 30th Secretary Blennerhassett informed him he had a credit balance of $4.83. When he transferred his stock to Knutson the latter discovered the credit balance amounted only to $3.25. The difference in the amounts ($1.58) Knutson refuses to pay him, and he asked the company kindly to reimburse him in that amount of the circulating medium, and charge the same to Knutson. Mr. Crowther said he could not see it in that light. Mr. Sherwood—Let him scrap it out with Blennerhassett. And it was so ordered. Mr. Pendergrast of Fullerton wrote saying the company's ditch was twelve feet upon his line, and he wished it removed. The matter was referred to the Ditch Committee. Mr. Bradford called up the matter of a measuring gate, a model of which he exhibited. This gate has an aperture of 24x20 inches, which admits a flow of 50 inches, and may be raised or lowered to increase or decrease the quantity of water delivered. It does away with the loose system of measurement concerning which much complaint has existed lately. The matter was continued for further discussion at a future meeting. Mr. Sherwood said the Superintendent should require zanjeros to report all places where a better measurement of water was desirable. Thus at the Young Artists. The competitive drawing of the predatory, predaceous feline quadruped inaugurated some weeks ago by Harris & Falkenstein was brought to a close on Friday evening, when the judges, Miss Roberts and Miss Rector, made the award. First prize fell to Alice Hunn, second to Agnes Rimpau, and the third was a tie between Emma Backs and Blanche Mickle. Appropriate prizes were offered. Many drawings of funny cats were submitted, and the competition excited great interest among the young folks. Death of Rev. McHenry. Rev. D. S. McHenry of Tustin died at his home in that village on Thursday morning from the effects of a severe attack of grip, which left him with a violent and distressing cough. He was seized with an unusually severe paroxym of coughing the morning of his death, which so utterly exhausted him that he could not rally from its effects. He was aged 76 years. Mr. McHenry had resided at Tustin for many years, and was a former pastor of the United Presbyterian church of Santa Ana. Of late years he had lived a retired life, but had always been a leading figure of the county. He was an earnest Republican and participated in most of the county, State and congressional conventions. The remains were interred in the Santa Ana cemetery on Tuesday. For Sale.

Several brass bands associated with, among them musical organizations in California, prices will be offered for tournouts. Demonstration will be ever seen in Southern side the larger cities. be made one of the features of the afternoon. The plan is said to meet with the approval of Major Finley, although he does not know that the committee have agreed upon his selection as judge of the drill. The Major is equally attached to each company, and is very popular among both officers and men. Word has come in from Los Alamitos that they are with us. Rah! for the sugar-factory town. A large sign and flag has been placed at the corner window of the Anaheim club which is being used as headquarters for the celebration. The sign reads, "Headquarters for the Fourth of July Committees." Herman Stern, Chairman of the Decoration Committee, says Anaheim will be more handsomely decorated than at any time in its history. Herman is one of the most artistic decorators in the State. He knows his business and the people expect something very nice from him. He says he will discount all his past efforts. Judge Shanley, Chairman of the Barbecue Committee, has made arrangements with Judge Marquez of Peralta to have charge of the meats. The Judge will associate with him David Yorba of Yorba. What these two gentlemen do not know about barbecue isn't worth knowing. They promise the most gorgeous affair in the history of the county. Joe Hatfield of the Fireworks Committee has placed an order for the largest consignment of skyrockets, set pieces, roman candles and other fireworks ever imported into the county. A large set piece with the words "Welcome to Orange county" will be the first to be set off, and the piece "Good Night" will announce the end of the display. Interspersed will be a flaming mass of rockets, fire balloons, candles, pinwheels and other spectacular pieces. Arthur Lewis is planning a great display of red, white and blue electric lights. He has been given carte blanche to go ahead and arrange the display. About $250 will be expended, and the illumination will be turned on an evening or two before the Fourth. John Hartung, chairman of the Music Committee, is providing something out of the common. The program calls for three brass bands, and the best in Southern California will be procured. John has something up his sleeve to surprise folks with. During the afternoon there will be a concert UNTRUTHFUL AND MISLEADING, SAYS NEFF President of the Deciduous Fruit Association Takes Exceptions to Statements Concerning Walnuts. J. B. Neff, president of the local Deciduous Fruit association, has prepared the following statement in reply to criticisms of his association made by members of the walnut exchange at the Farmers' club meeting at Mr. Korn's: Anaheim, Cal., June 1, 1901. HOW SHALL WALNUT BE MARKETED? To the members of the Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim: An article was printed under the above title in the ANAHEIM GAZETTE of May 30th, together with an editorial, which contained statements entirely foreign to the truth and altogether misleading. In view of this we thought it well to give you a statement of the matter just as it stands. In the first place there is no Walnut Growers' Exchange, as was so frequently reiterated. Each association makes its own contract—either sells outright or has a broker sell for them. There is a so-called Executive Committee which has no authority to do business legally, and which cannot bind its members to any concerted action, nor make contracts of any kind. This committee has been in existence for three years, and when it was formed the representatives from this association offered to join if an incorporated exchange was formed. In the second place, no walnuts of this association were ever consigned nor ever will be, as long as the present management exists. Thirdly. No walnuts of this association were ever offered in the east at a lower price than the ruling price of the other associations. On the contrary, two years ago we sold nearly all our No. 1 soft shells at much higher figures. In regard to the offer of a personal guarantee to bring us a broker to buy our walnuts we will say, that the same brokers who bought a few cars of us last year and then rejected 260 sacks of hard-shell walnuts, which we afterward sold at full association rates, now want to sell walnuts for us at association prices, notwithstanding that they have signed a contract not to take "outside walnuts," as they call them, except at one cent per pound less than association price. This one rejection of theirs would have cost us $400 if we PERSONAL MENTION. Eddie Boege has taken a position at the Griffith lumber yard. Mrs. Passmore was the guest of Mrs. Schneider several days during the past week. Archer Fay and Ralph McFadden are home from Stanford to spend the summer vacation. Clay Kellogg returned some days ago from the Hawaiian islands after an absence of several months. A. S. Bradford and Walter Crowther left on Tuesday for a six-weeks' visit to Buffalo and other points east. Otto Rust and family departed Tuesday for the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. They will be absent five or six weeks. Hear Kuhnrich of the Eastside brewing establishment was in town the other day from Los Angeles on a short business mission. Mrs. Dr. Paschall leaves shortly for her old home in Kentucky, where she will spend a protracted visit with relatives and friends. Prof. Thomass, leader of the singing section of the Turn Verein, was in town yesterday. He informs us he is after the medal for the best singing at the San Diego turn fest. Mr. Rea reports that if nothing happens to his nut crop, he will have the biggest and best crop yet grown in his superb orchard at Katella. The trees are literally loaded, and are in prime condition. Ed Kennedy came down from Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to attend the meeting of the Woodmen given in honor of P. A. Derge, one of the charter members, who leaves shortly for Salt Lake. Kennedy and Derge are old friends, and the former came down to bid his lodge associate bon voyage. Mr. Athearn, principal of the high school, will deliver a lecture upon the Psychology of Hypnosis at the Methodist church Friday evening, June 7th. An effort will be made to explain the phenomena of hypnotism, mind-reading and allied subjects, giving results of the latest scientific investigation. Senor De la Guerra was in town from Yorba on Tuesday. He is preparing a float to represent his flourishing section of the county for participation in the coming Fourth of July celebration. It takes a lot of labor, he says, but he is resolved to have it. The float will represent the dairy interest. Good for the Senor. Joseph Dauser reports that walnuts floats innumerable, innumerate patriotic displays, the different outlying piles, Placentia, Olive, Los Alamitos, Clair, and Westminster. It est parade in the his-ty. Several brass bands related with, among them mical organizations in orlando. Arthur Lewis is planning a great display of red, white and blue electric lights. He has been given carte blache to go ahead and arrange the display. About $250 will be expended, and the illumination will be turned on an evening or two before the Fourth. John Hartung, chairman of the Music Committee, is providing somthing out of the common. The program calls for three brass bands, and the best in Southern California will be procured. John has something up his sleeve to surprise folks with. During the afternoon there will be a concert of patriotic music by one of the largest bands in Southern California. Mr. Athearn of the Committee on Sports is arranging a fine program of athletic exercises. A baseball game between George McDonald's heavy swatters of the oil wells and Westminster's undefeated nine is being arranged. There will be, also, bicycle and horse races, and other exercises of an athletic nature. Capt. Ahlborn is in charge of the military parade, and is exerting himself to the utmost to have a competitive drill by the three companies of the Orange county battalion. Charles Fay of the Parade Committee is busily engaged in arranging details, and Mr. Ascher of the Committee on Grounds is the busiest man in town. Chairman Cargill and Secretary Boyd have dropped business for the present, and are making a commendable response to the work put upon them. Mr. Cargill called to see Bishop Montgomery, who has been invited to deliver the Fourth of July address. The Bishop was out of town, unfortunately, but in conversation with the Vicar, Mr. Cargill was assured the Bishop would consider the invitation on his return. It is confidently expened Bishop Montgomery will accept the invitation. Should he do so, those present at the celebration will enjoy a rare oratorical treat, as the Bishop, beside being one of the broadest-minded and most liberal-spirited of men, is as well one of the most impressive and eloquent of orators. Committeemen returning from Los Angeles yesterday say the people of that city are taking great interest in our celebration, and that, if a late train can be provided to return to the city after the fireworks, a great crowd will attend. Chairman Cargill has been delegated authority to confer with Mr. Muir of the Southern Pacific and Mr. Byrne of the Santa Fe, to ascertain whether a special train, or one upon each of the two roads cannot be run. The Music Committee engaged the Great Western Military band of thirty pieces of Los Angeles to furnish music for the celebration, during the day and evening. This is said to be the best band in Southern California, and should prove a great drawing card. The Los Angeles military companies may accept of invitations to be tendered them to be present and participate in the competitive drill. Arnold Lewis is planning a great display of red, white and blue electric lights. He has been given carte blache to go ahead and arrange the display. About $250 will be expended, and the illumination will be turned on an evening or two before the Fourth. John Hartung, chairman of the Music Committee, is providing something out of the common.

Prohibition In regard to the offer of a personal guarantee to bring us a broker to buy our walnuts we will say, that the same brokers who bought a few cars of us last year and then rejected 260 sacks, of hard-shell walnuts, which we afterward sold at full association rates, now want to sell walnuts for us at association prices, notwithstanding that they have signed a contract not to take "outside walnuts," as they call them, except at one cent per pound less than association price. This one rejection of their would have cost us $400 if we had been under contract to them and had no other way of marketing. We paid last year’s cent per bag more than some of the other associations for walnut bags, but we bought our “positive delivery,” while theirs were bought “to arrive.” We did not think the difference of $5.00 which we would have saved on our first purchase enough to warrant us in taking the chances of being without sacks when we needed them and have to pay any price that might be asked. Our saving on the single car of walnuts last year would pay any excess in price of bags we are likely to pay for the next 20 years. This talk of the Anaheim association consigning and offering walnuts at cut prices is the same story we are told by the brokers who did not make a profit off our walnuts, and it is clearly seen where it comes from. If the walnuts of the other associations are all sold and not enough to go around, as they tell us, we are sure to get full prices and need have no uneasiness. If they have not sold all, we will sell ours, and get the money before they go out of our possession. We think it wisest to have our own paid agents who have an interest in getting the best possible price for us, instead of contracting with a broker whose sole aim is to get the most money for himself and at the least possible expense to himself.

Woodmen of the World gave Paul Dergea a great sendoff at their council room on Tuesday evening, when they banqueted him and presented him a handsome gold badge appropriate to the order. Mr. Dergea is one of the charter members of the camp, and upon the eve of his departure for the wilds of Salt Lake, the members set about to give him such a kindly farewell at parting as was calculated to make him regret he ever determined to leave. He was taken completely by surprise, but recovered sufficiently to respond with one of those eloquent speeches for which he is noted. The evening was spent very pleasantly, and at its close there was a sorrowful parting with the departing Woodman. The camp elected the following officers: L.E.Miller, counsel commander; J.H.Clabaugh, adviser lieutenant; Mr.Vogel, escort; F.G.Athearn, watchman; P.Weisel, sentinel; Mr.Hiatt, manager. He reports the thermometer up to 115 on the desert, and when he struck the first sea breezes this side of the San Bernardino mountains he nearly froze to death. He survived, however, and now says he will remain until the Fourth. Mrs.F.P.Nickey, wife of Supervisor Nickey of Santa Ana, died at her home in that city on Sunday night at 9 o’clock, in the forty-sixth year of her age. She succumbed to internal cancer, with which she had suffered for some months past. Recently she was taken to Los Angeles to undergo a surgical operation, but was found to be too feeble to withstand it. She was brought home, where she lingered until released by death from her pains. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her untimely end. Deceased was a native of Illinois. The remains were interred in the Santa Ana cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.

Santa Ana Trustees have again directed attention to them by adopting the prohibition ordinance recently submitted to them by the anti-saloon people, with numerous amendments added. The ordinance provides that Santa Ana vote upon it at a special election to be called on or before June 17, provided the dry people turn into the city treasury $300 to pay expenses of the election. Trustees Whitney, Ey, Diers and Parsons voted in support of the ordinance. Trustee Finley voted against it as being radically changed from the draft presented by the anti-saloon people. One of the additions to the original draft of the ordinance is that physicians must sign an affidavit along with prescriptions for stimulants, setting forth that such patients are really in need of a bracer, and no fudging.

Section Foreman Twoomey of the Southern Pacific was ordered in to Los Angeles some days ago to take the newly prescribed test for the eyesight and hearing. The tests were carried on by the railroad company's physician, and included the selection of various shades of different colored thread from a box containing a mass of thread of all shades and colors, and the reading of letters placed some distance away and tapering from large to small fonts. A stopwatch was placed near the car, and one was required to say when it was running and when it stopped. All section foremen were ordered to take the test, and those taking it the day Twoomey went up passed successfully. Twoomey was pronounced by the physician to be in possession of excellent eyesight and his hearing was among the best. Oil Company.
