HAPPY FAMILY AT THE WATER BOARD Purchases 100 Acres for a Reservoir Site. When a Survey Shows Only 70 are Necessary. "I'll bet you $50 I am right," said Mr. Sherwood to Mr. Pierotti at the meeting of the Happy Family of the water board on Saturday afternoon, a bit of choler asserting itself, as the latter volunteered the opinion that the former had in mind a totally different point in the upper ditch from the place under discussion, where the board contemplates taking up the construction of a cut-off surveyed by Mr. Lum some seven years ago. Pierotti had just moved that engineer Kellogg be instructed to make an examination of the cut-off, with a view to arriving at the cost of the work. Lum in 1894 surveyed the ditch at point under discussion, finding the canal 1735 feet, running around the point of a hill, and the cut-off, through the hill, 898 feet. He estimated the cost at $1783. Kellogg was of opinion Lum's estimate was not far from correct. He thought the work would cost not less than $2000. Pierotti argued the ditch was in imminent danger of going out. The same objection was made in 1894. The ditch supplies Anaheim irrigators and a break at this time would result in serious loss. The matter was referred to Kellogg for further investigation. Steward offered a resolution which was seconded by Pierotti, providing that stockholders wishing to have water delivered on land not outside the district, may change the location of stock thereto between the 1st and 16th of each month. This was for the purpose, Steward said, of giving all shareholders an opportunity of doing what has been notoriously practiced by a few for years—floating their stock about the district, irrigating a piece of land here, another there, and so on. If it was right for one stockholder to do this, it was right for all to do so; and if it was wrong, it should be abated altogether. Attorney Melrose entered upon a discontinuity in the local points involved.

I wish also to mention the fact that Superintendent Smith of the Santa Ana Valley company in our labor in the placing of the above gate was ever seeking every point whereby a perfect, just and equal division may be had; is well worthy of mention. Owing to the fact that we need a place and a ditch leading to such a place as will enable us to run water to waste in time of a storm, or when the irrigator shall have more water than he wants, he may be able to turn same dwn ditch without damage. I refer only to the north branch. Therefore, I recommend that the so-called Nicholas ditch be placed in such condition that it may be used for above-ground drainage. SAN PEDRO PIRATES SLUM THE OIL WELLS Seaside Baseball Talent Demonstrates Its Superiority Over the Foothill Aggregation. “This is a great country; oranges grows on top of the ground, and 'ile underneath. But you can't play ball wid us.” The speaker was a “Pedro” rooter, and the tide was at that point of Sunday's game turning, not so slowly, but just as surely, in favor of the seaside chowder coolers. “What's the matter with the oil wells?” yelled the kids with the megaphone earlier in the game. "They're all right," they answered. But the megaphone lads soon thought it was time to be disappearing, and thereafter there was no rooting to be heard except such as came from those who accompanied the Pedro aggregation of baseball talent. “If youse come down to Pedro to play us a game of ball, maybe we'll have a clam chowder for ye on the side; but all the same we'll feel sorry for yez,” observed the gentleman first above quoted. “These are not the same men you played against us last Sunday,” said an oil driller, plainly. “And all the same youse fellys did not put up the fifty ye promised,” replied the other fellow. But there may never be another game of ball between the two nines. Maybe the oil well boys will never look at a bat again. The score stood at the close of the eighth inning, when Pedro had to catch the train: Pedro, 13; oil wells, 0. The drillers were never in the game from the start. Nine errors contributed on their part, according to the scorer's story, does not tell the whole of it. Scorer Nicholson, who hails for San Pedro, was not too severe upon them. Pitcher Ford, probably the most effective twirler seen on the local diamond this season, is a southpaw, who has a delivery considerably like Hale's of the Los Angeles club. Were it not for his lame leg he would probably be in the big league. He was ably supported by Sylva, who threw to bases This was for the purpose, Steward said, of giving all shareholders an opportunity of doing what has been notoriously practiced by a few for years—floating their stock about the district, irrigating a piece of land here, another there, and so on. If it was right for one stockholder to do this, it was right for all to do so; and if it was wrong, it should be abated altogether. Attorney Melrose entered upon a discussion of the legal points involved, and the matter was after further debate referred to a committee comprised of Pierotti and Steward, to act in conjunction with the attorney. Secretary Krick—I want to say here, what I think I have a right to say— Mr. Crowther (in the chair), rapping for order—Mr. Secretary, you are not a member of this board. You are the secretary, and have no right to discuss matters with the board without its permission. Pierotti (to Krick, in a fatherly way)—If you have anything to say, tell the committee, and they will take care of it. Sherwood moved, seconded by Steward, that a measuring wiser be placed at the intake of the Tuffree reservoir, and another in the ditch below the reservoir, for the purpose of keeping an accurate measurement of (1.) the amount of water entering the reservoir, and (2.) the amount furnished to zanjeros. The motion was lost on a tie vote—Sherwood, Steward and Smith voting aye, Adams, Pierotti and the chair voting no. Sherwood moved, seconded by Steward, that the engineer be instructed to examine those portions of the Cajon ditch which were washed out during last winter's floods, causing a loss of $5000, as well as placing cabbage growers at a great inconvenience and entailing loss upon them. Pierotti objected to the expenditure of money for such purpose at this time. The only way to obviate such damage in future was the construction of a new ditch and pipe line. The engineer could not tell the board any more than it now knows concerning the matter. Sherwood's motion carried, Pierotti alone voting no. The board here discussed the cut-off, which called out Sherwood's wagering banter. Krick—Mr. President, relative to floating stock, I desire to say that every share that I have found floating since I came into this office I have nailed down, and placed on land. That's what I wanted to say a little while ago. Kellogg submitted a map of the Yorba reservoir, stating it contained 70 acres, whereas the board, at a recent meeting, purchased 100 acres at a valuation of $62.50 per acre for such purpose. Sherwood—(to Pierotti) You see the folly of buying these 100 acres for a reservoir site before having a survey of it made, don't you? Mr. Stewart submitted the following quarterly report of operations on the Ana Valley company in our location in the placing of the above gate was ever seeking every point whereby a perfect, just and equal division may be had; is well worthy of mention. Owing to the fact that we need a place and a ditch leading to such a place as will enable us to run water to waste in time of a storm, or when the irrigator shall have more water than he wants, he may be able to turn same dwn ditch without damage. I refer only to the north branch. Therefore, I recommend that the so-called Nicholas ditch be placed in such condition that it may be used for above-named purpose. Respectfully submitted, J. M.

"How is that?" asked the argusyed Chairman. Sherwood—The Secretary has $100.79 in his pocket. Pierotti—He's good for it. A E. Nutt wrote the board from San Diego relative to right of way for a ditch at Nutwood. Mr. Adams opposed acceptance of the ditch by the company unless it be cemented. Sherwood moved to lay on the table. Seconded by Smith. Pierotti offered a substitute, that the company accept the ditch and maintain it if Nutt will pay half the expense of its construction. The substitute prevailed by unanimous consent, and the Secretary was instructed to so notify petitioner. Prizes. Following is the list of prizes awarded by Fourth of July committees: Best decorated tally-ho—Ladies of the T. U. C., prize $10. Best decorated float—Stern & Goodman, Fullerton, prize $15. Second best decorated float—L. E. Miller, prize $10. Judges—W. M. McFadden, L. W. Kirby and E. B. Foster. Best decorated buggy—Miss Selma Hansen, prize $5.

Krick The drillers were never in the game from the start. Nine errors contributed on their part, according to the scorer's story, does not tell the whole of it. Scorer Nicholson, who hails for San Pedro, was not too severe upon them. Pitcher Ford, probably the most effective twirler seen on the local diamond this season, is a southpaw, who has a delivery considerably like Hale's of the Los Angeles club. Were it not for his lame leg he would probably be in the big league. He was ably supported by Sylva, who threw to bases accurately, and permitted no purloring. Sylva accepted nine of eleven chances. His two errors were not costly. Ford accepted eleven chances within an error. The entire team of pirates played a swift, snappy game. They are ball-players, and the rumor that spread about the diamond, to the effect that some of them had been imported for the occasion, was vehemently denied by them. For the oil wells the least said the better. They were weak at bat, ran bases like novices and piled up a magnificent row of errors. The boys were trotting out of their class when in company of Pedro fishermen. Wagner played a good game, but displayed poor judgment in trying to cover too much territory in the infield. Once, with two men on bases, he fielded a ball that Burke should have handled, throwing it to first feet over big Jim Bush's head. Bush cannot run, but when he recovered the ball and threw it high over McFadden's head at third the way the Pedroites galloped around the bases was a sight to behold. In the sixth the drillers had three men on bases, but Sylva had no difficulty in picking off Tuffree from first while napping. Tuffree played a fair game, accepting three out of four chances and figuring in a double that made the Pedro's think the oil wells could play a little ball after all. Other features of the game were Burke's elegant side-stepping at short, Kammere's lecture of Tuffree for being caught in a nap, and Big Bush's failure to make good when it meant money to the oil wells. There was not much betting. The usual wad of oil well bills was conspicuous by its absence. Ole Jensen is said to have lost a dollar and a quarter. The score: SAN PEDRO. AB. R. BH. PO. A.E.

Laying of the corner stone of the new High School building was one of the most interesting features of the celebration of the Fourth in the city on Thursday last. The ceremonies were witnessed by thousands. A review of the events leading up to the ceremonies will be of interest. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Anaheim High School district held June 21st, 1901, a resolution was adopted requesting Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., to take charge and arrange for the laying of the corner stone of the new High School building on the 4th day of July, 1901. In accordance with this request, Anaheim lodge asked the M. W., James A. Foshay, Grand Master of Masons in California, to kindly convene the Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., at Anaheim on July 4th, 1901, for the purpose of performing the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the High School building. The Grand Lodge, F. & A. M., of California was convened in Anaheim at 1:30 p.m. on the date set, and was opened by M. W., Grand Master. The respective stations and places were filled by the following brethern of the order: M. W. James A. Foshay, Grand Master. R. W. Wm. M. McFadden, Deputy Grand Master. R. W. O. M. Robbins, Senior Grand Warden. R. W. D. F. Rogers, Junior Grand Warden. V. W. Wm. T. Bush, Grand Treasurer. V. W. Henry J. Lloyd, Grand Secretary. V. W. James H. Enearl, Grand Lecturer. V. W. Geo. C.

BIRD GOES TO MAGNOLIA SCHOOL Anaheim Trustees Decline to Re-Employ Him as Principal of West School. Prof. R. N. Bird, late principal of the West school, has accepted a position as principal of the school at Magnolia. He filed a petition with the School Trustees of this district, asking to be reappointed to his position, and the same was taken up for consideration, and denied, on Saturday evening. At that time the Trustees of Magnolia district had selected him to be principal of their school. Mr. Darling made the statement after the meeting that Bird desired the appointment as a vindication of himself, and that he would then decline to accept it. Appended to Bird's petition were the names of 51 people, many of whom, so it is stated, are not patrons of the school. One of the signers asked Mr. Clabaugh not to consider him as favoring Bird, his name having been attached to the petition merely for friendship's sake. Trustee Darling, who has opposed Bird for a year, presented a protest to his retention in the school, signed by nine patrons of Bird's room, and representing eleven of his fifteen pupils. The board considered this of greater weight than Bird's petition, and accordingly, denied the latter's request for retention. Trustees Clabaugh and Sheldon had made a personal investigation of the charges made by Darling against Bird, and found them to be well authenticated. March 16th last, it having come to the ears of the trustees that girls' were being caught and held while boys were permitted to kiss them, the trustees adopted the following resolution censuring Bird therefor: WHEREAS: It has come to the knowledge of this board of school trustees, that on Thursday, March 7th, 1901, at the three o'clock p.m. recess at West Anaheim school there was improper conduct on the play ground, of a nature to cause a repetition of subsequent occurrences of that date, and it is therefore hereby resolved: That Principal Richard Bird be censured by this board for his apparent lack of care during hours of recess, and he required to use more effort. SIX BIDDERS FOR CITY BOILER Prices Range from $2000 to $2577—All Bids Under Consideration Till Friday. The City Trustees on Tuesday evening opened six bids for installing a new boiler at the power house, from the following firms: Pacific Coast Manufacturing Co. of Los Angeles,$2328.85. Levi Booth & Sons of Los Angeles-$2300; second offer,$2000; the latter to be a boiler of their own make,the former being according to plans and specifications furnished by the city. Fairbanks, Morse & Co. of Los Angeles-$2479.50. Baker Iron Works of Los Angeles-$2577. Parke & Lacy Co. of San Francisco-$2049. Howe-Curry Co. of Los Angeles-$2338. Upon investigation it appeared the bids of Levi Booth & Sons and Parke & Lacy were the lowest. Mr. Dickel moved that these bids be taken under advisement by the board the others to be rejected. Mr. Schneider moved to amend by taking all bids under consideration. The suggestion was approved by Mr. Dickel, and the amendment prevailed unanimously. The bids will be taken up tomorrow evening, when a selection will probably be made. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for June: For water,$212; licenses,$177; electric lights,$261.95; total,$650.95; less 5 per cent commission for collection,$32.55; deposited with treasurer,$618.40。Delinquents collected: Water,$24.60; light,$4.60; total,$29.20。Delinquents reported: Water,$29.60; license,$1.25; lights,$21.35; total$52.20。 Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in bank in favor of city amounting to $1860.47。 Recorder Shanley reported the collection of $30 in fines as the Fourth of July grist.Fees,$15; turned into the treasury,$15。 Application of the Santa Ana gas and electric light company to erect poles and string wires along Esplanade avenue and Chartres street was In the drillers had three but Sylva had no difficulty off Tuffree from first.

The kingsnake 17 hours after swallowing its first rattler took a pain in its stomach and "heaved up" the reptile, which was discovered to be quite dead. Six hours later it swallowed its meal again, and up to the time of going to press seemed to be quite well satisfied with its gustatory feat. The kingsnake was kept in its box 12 days, when another rattler was offered up for sacrifice. The kingsnake promptly coiled itself about it, and swallowed a third of the reptile. At this point in the rattler's body it had bitten itself. Revolted at this, the kingsnake promptly heaved it up entirely. The rattler struck at the kingsnake. Two days thereafter the kingsnake again swallowed the rattler, and its name has been Jonah ever since. Postoffice Burned The postoffice at Newport was burned some days ago, together with a small stock of goods owned by the postmaster, B.M.Watts. It is believed the building was set on fire, as no one had been sleeping in it for a week. Considerable feeling has recently existed concerning the proposed establishment of rural free delivery in the locality, and it is believed the contest had something to do with the burning of the postoffice. The fire was first noticed about l'o'clock in the morning, posited with treasurer, $618.40. Delinquents collected: Water, $24.60; light, $4.60; total, $29.20. Delinquents reported: Water, $29.60; license, $1.25; lights, $21.35; total $52.20. Treasurer Cahen reported a balance in bank in favor of city amounting to $1860.47.

Mrs. Mary Paulson of Redlands had a thrilling ordeal near Rincón some days ago, and was so seriously injured her condition is critical. She was driving with her sister, Mrs.E.G.Nelson of Chino, accompanied by several children. Their horse became frightened, and she alighted to quiet the animal. By the roadside is a barbwire fence and against this she was crowded by the unmanageable horse and carriage. Mrs.Paulson was entangled in the wires and nearly all her clothing was torn from her body while the barbs stuck and scratched their victim in many places. Her right arm was wrenched from its socket, and the flesh was completely torn from it, exposing arteries and muscles. There is danger of blood poisoning and lockjaw. The other occupants of the carriage were bruised and scratched by the wires, but none of their injuries are serious. Money to Loan. In sums to suit. Apply to F.A.. OIL WELLS. AB. R. BH. PO. A.
