IRVINE'S RIPARIAN RIGHTS MAY BE PURCHASED Plan to Acquire Them by the Two Valley Water Companies—Tom McFadden Bucks the Board to a Draw. At the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon, a report of the litigation committees of the two water companies was read, to the effect that James Irvine had agreed with the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company to dispose of his riparian rights in the river in consideration of the transfer to him of 100 shares of that company's stock, together with the privilege of purchasing 60 more. Irvine owns land bordering some four miles on the south side of the river, including the land where on the division gate is located, and running thence past the intake of the Santa Ana company. On the north side of the river the land belongs, for the most part, to the Anaheim Union Water company. This company's intake is at Bedrock canyon, a short distance west of the division gate, where the waters in the river are divided equally between the two companies. The water allotted the Santa Ana company is permitted to flow past the division gate a distance of three miles in the river bed before being taken up in their main canal. This practice of permitting the water to flow by the lands owned by Irvine has given him rights to such quantities as he might need for the irrigation of his lands bordering the stream. Irvine has little, if any, land susceptible of irrigation along the river, the country being hilly; but if he were disposed to make trouble, is in position to seriously interfere with the water apportioned the Santa Ana company. His name has been associated with the Newberry water-grabbing enterprise; but it is not thought that he took any stock in that undertaking. Reports have been current for a year that Newberry intended disposing of such water as he might grab to Irvine for use on the San Joaquin ranch; but those conversant with the situation know that the project of running water from Bedrock canyon to Irvine's ranch is fraught with such insuperable obstacles, on account of the intervening mountains, as to be practically impossible. Recently the litigation committees of both companies held a conference with Irvine relative to purchasing his description of the washer, saying it would be used only a few hours each day during the walnut-picking season. It would not back up the water to any appreciable extent, and if any damage resulted to the ditch his father would pay for it. He had understood that objection had been made to the washer on the ground that it polluted the water. He would not insult the intelligence of the board by saying there was not a particle of pollution by its operation. When it is considered that from fifteen to twenty boys bathe in the reservoir every day, and that several thousand sheep are watered therein daily, he did not understand why any one should object to the washer on such a filmsy pretext. Moreover, there was only one man using water on the avenue for domestic purposes who paid for it; that was Mr. Gilman. No other user of domestic water paid the company a cent. If Mr. Gilman offered objection, he agreed to suspend the operation of the washer whenever that gentleman desired to fill his cistern. But those who take water for domestic use and do not pay for it, had, he thought, no right to object. Mr. Pierotti said the relations between McFadden, Sr., and the company had been somewhat strained. Some time ago he had placed an obstruction in the ditch, and, on being asked to withdraw it, said he would not do so, and defied the company to remove it. The water backed up by this obstruction overran the bank and ran down to the Tombes place. It was such actions on his part that deterred the company from extending any favors to him. However, if McFadden would give a written guarantee to refrain from putting obstructions in the ditch, and would likewise guarantee the company payment for all losses entailed by the walnut-washer, he had no objection to granting the request. Mr. Adams said that on recent visit to McFadden's of himself and Messra. Smith and Sherwood, he had found McFadden experimenting with the washer. If McFadden continued to operate it as he did when the party were there, he (Adams) would have no objection to its maintenance. He was opposed to permitting obstructions to be placed in the ditches, but the washer was, in his opinion, no obstruction. Nevertheless, he would ask that a written guarantee be given by McFadden, saving the company from all losses that might arise. Supt. Woodward said that complaint had been lodged with him against the SOLUTION OF WALNUT DISEASE. Is It Caused by a Superabundance of Water on Top of Hard-pan Stratum? LAGUNA, CAL., Aug. 19th, 1904 EDITOR GAZETTE:—In conversation with Judge Cheney of Los Angeles, he is stopping here. I learned that he given a great deal of study and attention to biology and microscopic investigation. At my request he has met an exhaustive investigation of fungus disease of walnuts which brought here for his examination. With his powerful microscope, magnifies 10,000 diameters, he has satisfied himself that the disease purely a fungus growth, and is sure that it is carried to the swigs and nuts by the sap from roots of the tree. In his opinion caused by a superabundance of moisture on top of a hard-pan stratum too much moisture in the soil with shallow cultivations. In his opinion (as he does not claim to be a horticulturist) no spray will do any good, perhaps with less irrigation and plowing and cultivation it will take least two years to eradicate the disease. The so-called winter irrigation on the ground with water that must cause a species of fermentation. This generates the fungus, and is then taken by the roots through the body of tree, out to the tenderest twigs or nuts, where it gets in its work. From the investigations made by Judge Cheney and hints suggested for remedy, much good may come to great industry of walnut culture. Experiments have been made along lines suggested. It might be well sacrifice a few trees or tunnel under them to examine the condition of deep roots and have them subjected microscopic examination. W. M. McFADDEN INTERURBAN ELECTRIC LIGHT People at Work Getting Right of Way Through La Habra Valley. F. E. Trask, vice-president and general manager of the Interurban railway company, has been over portfolios of contemplated route, in comparison with W. J. Hole, who is working at right of way through La Habra valley between East Whittier and Fullerton. "We are going to build this ranch from Los Angeles through Anahale and Fullerton to Santa Ana," he said "and will probably have it in operation as far as Whittier by January." There are some rights of way arranged which will probably Recently the litigation committees of both companies held a conference with Irvine relative to purchasing his riparian rights, and submitted to him the only plan whereby water might be conveyed from the river to the San Joaquin ranch. The plan, as outlined above, is to acquire these rights by giving Irvine stock in the Santa Ana company, which will deliver him water through its ditches in what is known as the Tustin strip, whence he will convey it in his own ditches to the San Joaquin, where he has 160 acres in a high state of cultivation. Irvine also reserves the right to purchase 60 additional shares of stock in the Santa Ana company at, say, $40 per share. Irvine's ranch is outside the boundaries of the Santa Ana company's district, and, in order to deliver water to him, it will be necessary to change its articles of incorporation to permit this. The matter will be brought up at the next annual meeting of the stockholders. Attorney Melrose explained the nature of the litigation committee's report. The interest which the Anaheim Union Water company had in the matter was that Irvine owned the land whereon the division gate is located, as well as land through which an important right of way was desired. Money was no object to him. What he wants is water, and he offers in return therefor valuable water rights which it would seem to be the part of wisdom for valley irrigators to acquire. The matter would be referred to the annual stockholders' meeting for such action as might seem proper. Mr. Sherwood said it would be a good thing for the Santa Ana company to acquire Irvine's riparian rights, but he could not see how that company could expect the Anaheim company to saddle upon itself part of the indebtedness of the transaction. Engineer Kellogg, who was present, said Irvine's rights in the river were incontestable, and the acquiring of the same by the two water companies was, in his opinion, of the first importance. The report went to the file for future action by the stockholders in annual meeting. Tom McFadden appeared before the board in reference to his father's walnut-washing machine, which he contemplates operating in the cement ditch in front of his ranch at Placentia. He took to the Secretary's desk the following communication, which Secretary Krick proceeded to read: LAGUNA, Cal., Aug. 15. To the Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company: GENTLEMEN:—I notice in the papers that Superintendent Woodward reported at your last meeting that I had put an obstruction in the ditch—a wheel for washing walnuts. I wish to say that there is no obstruc- Mr. Adams said that on the recent visit to McFadden's of himself and Messrs. Smith and Sherwood, he had found McFadden experimenting with the washer. If McFadden continued to operate it as he did when the party were there, he (Adams) would have no objection to its maintenance. He was opposed to permitting obstructions to be placed in the ditches, but the washer was, in his opinion, no obstruction. Nevertheless, he would ask that a written guarantee be given by McFadden, saving the company from all losses that might arise. Supt. Woodward said that complaint had been lodged with him against the washer by users of domestic water, who objected to its pollution. After a further discussion of the subject, the matter went on the table until the next meeting. Sherwood introduced the following resolution: Resolved, That the Engineer and Superintendent of the company be and are hereby instructed to make an inspection of the main canals of the company, and make a report to the Board of Directors on the 21st of September, in a tabulated form available for reference— 1. The condition of all flumes, overshoots, waste gates and other structures on said canals. 2. What repairs are needed, and the probable cost thereof, including the cleaning of the Tuffree reservoir. 3. The estimate of cost of all new work ordered by the company, with necessary plans, profiles, etc. Also, that all the structures on said canals be numbered, and referred to by number in said report. The same was seconded by Smith and carried. Sherwood also introduced the following: Resolved, That the Secretary of the company be and is hereby instructed to keep in a book suitable for the purpose a record of all construction work done by the company; the same to include all data practicable to be kept in such book, with reference to maps and profiles in the files of the company, in a manner readily available for future reference. Seconded by Pierotti and carried. Mr. Bradford reported in the matter of complaint of Mr. Kossert regarding the ditch on Santa Ana street, that the rear end of Kossert's place was higher than the portion next the ditch. Water cannot reach it, there being a sag between; but by scraping it, he thought the matter would be sufficiently remedied without putting the company to the expense of raising the ditch. Mr. Stewart, who occupied the chair in the absence of Mr. Crowther, reported in the matter of complaint made by A. B. Johnson of Orange-thorpe against his neighbor, A. J. Webber, charging him with theft of water, taking the position that Webber was not to blame, and recommending that the charge against him be dismissed. Johnson was present and charged Webber vigorously with theft of water. "If you don't put him through for it," e said, "I will have a Justice of the Peace after him. I will keep hammering away at you fellows until you do something about it. You know there have been many cases of water theft, and here you catch a man red-handed." Through La Habra Valley. F. E.

There are some rights of way to arranged which will probably take about two weeks and work will then begin at the Los Angeles end. "We intend to have the Long Beach road in operation by May 1, so we catch our full share of the summer business. We regret that the County of that town did not see fit to grant an extension of the franchise which purchased of the Santa Ana and range Motor Co., but inasmuch as a permit has been allowed to lapse best we can hope for is that the trees take no action whatever unless applications for franchises in their mediate future." Asked his opinion of the proposed cut in suburban rates by the streets, Trask said: "I have been looking for something of that nature some time, and the announcement should convince the most skeptic that we are going to build this road The reductions would never have been proposed had the steam road management not become convince that Interurban railway project is bound go through." "What about La Habra?" "The people there are taking hie in good shape, and will undoubtely make a go of it. The same can be seen or Orange, where the proposition similar to conditions in Whittier committee of citizens is at work there and will secure the necessary amount of bonus for the building of the amount of track to carry the main line through city. In fact, Whittier only place where people have not met us half way." Mr. Trask reiterates the statement that main line across the mesa be double tracked, for fast running. Old-Time Religion. Two camp-meetings in town, one Pentecost band, whose tabernacle located on Center street near Paid and other The Methodists in a tent in Planters' park, afford an age citizen abundant opportunity getting religion, even if he does show any symptoms of it before his life. The Pentecosters march up to every evening, singing psalms holding devotional exercises prevailing their tent meeting. They are "shouting" Methodists, and draw lacrowds. Rev. Clark is the evangelist charge of the meetings. Rev. Pratt conducts the exercise The Methodist camp-meeting tent large crowds gather to hear him at other exhorters every evening. Orphans. The Dominican Sisters have at Tom McFadden appeared before the board in reference to his father's walnut-washing machine, which he contemplates operating in the cement ditch in front of his ranch at Placentia. He took to the Secretary's desk the following communication, which Secretary Krick proceeded to read: LAGUNA, Cal., Aug. 15. To the Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company: GENTLEMEN:—I notice in the papers that Superintendent Woodward reported at your last meeting that I had put an obstruction in the ditch—a wheel for washing walnuts. I wish to say that there is no obstruction in the ditch. I have a wheel, made at an expense of nearly $50, for the purpose of washing nuts, which I hoped to use a few minutes each morning during the picking season, to scour the nuts and wash off the fiber. This wheel is an experiment, and may not work. As I had no intention of using or consuming even a bucketful of water, nor placing anything in the ditch to obstruct the flow, using only the current of the stream, it did not occur to me that there could be any possible objection to its use. I have been informed that the objection comes from fear of polluting the water; but when I know that about 3,000 sheep daily enter the reservoir to drink, and often pass hours on its margin, with all their natural filth, and that dozens of boys go bathing daily below the reservoir, I could not believe, if these were overlooked, that any objections could be made to a little vegetable matter from the otherwise clean nuts. That there may be no clash between the officers of the company and myself, I hereby apply to your board for permission to operate this washing machine, providing that it works. I agree that no obstruction to the flow of the water shall be placed in the ditch, and that no water will be consumed. In the Rivera country every one along the ditch washes nuts in some kind of wheel without the slightest objection, and the polluting of the water is not of the slightest significance. Considering the great amount of animal pollution just a mile above, I trust that your consent will be freely given. I am, yours truly, W. M. McFADDEN. Son Thomas entered into a short de- Johnson was present and charged Webber vigorously with theft of water. "If you don't put him through for it," he said, "I will have a Justice of the Peace after him. I will keep hammering away at you fellows until you do something about it. You know there have been many cases of water theft, and here you catch a man red-handed in the act and yet you do nothing to punish him for it." On motion of Sherwood, the board decided to ask a written statement from the zanjero relating to the affair. Steward's recommendation meantime went on the table. A. A. Pendergrast appeared before the board relative to a company ditch which he charges is on his land without his permission, and which he asked to have removed. The trouble seems to have arisen on account of a divergence of twelve feet in the section line on account of faulty surveying. The company holds a right of way for the ditch, and has been running water through it for ten years. The matter was referred to Attorney Melrose to have a talk with Pendergrast and show him the error of his ways. A letter was read from John Everharty relative to land up the ditch, leased by him for oil development purposes, asking that the same be surveyed, and that an answer be forwarded him about his request for an option to purchase the tract at $100 per acre. Engineer Kellogg was instructed to set the corner stakes of the property. Concerning the option, that matter went over for a week. Looks like they're going to throw you down, John. Kellogg reported he had had a conference with Roadmaster McNeil of the Santa Fe concerning proposed changes in the line of the Cajon canal, where the railway track runs alongside the ditch. A meeting will be arranged for at the section house near Horse-shoe Bend for the purpose of holding a conference relative to the contemplated changes. The board resolved to be present. The Pentecosters march up to every evening, singing psalms and holding devotional exercises prevailing to their tent meeting. They are "shouting" Methodists, and draw laziness. Rev. Clark is the evangelist charge of the meetings. Rev. Pratt conducts the exercise the Methodist camp-meeting tent, large crowds gather to hear him and other exhorters every evening. Orphans. The Dominican Sisters have at present 180 orphans at St. Catherine academy, and a happier or more contented lot of youngsters it would hard to discover. The kids are enjoying vacation now, and a number of orphans are away at their homes. For the close of the school term they were 198 boys at the orphanage. The youngsters arise at 6:45, having breakfast at 7, dinner at noon, lunch during the afternoon, and supper 5:30. They go to bed at 7:30, saying they prayers, and are watched over throughout the night by the Sisters, of whom there are fifteen at the academy. During the day the boys play ball and other games in the spacious ground. An adjoining orchard in academy grounds furnishes an abundance of fruit. The grounds are kept scrupulous clean, and the little orphans are lucky indeed to have such guardian angels keeping watch and ward over them—the good Dominican Sisters. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyter Church will meet at the home of Mr. Grimshaw this (Thursday) afternoon.

INFECTION OF WALNUT DISEASE Caused by a Superabundance of walnuts on Top of Hard-pan Stratum? AGUNA, CAL., Aug. 19th, 1901. FOR GAZETTE:—In conversation Judge Cheney of Los Angeles, whooping here, I learned that he had a great deal of study and attention to biology and microscopic investigation. At my request he has made exhaustive investigation of the disease of walnuts which I find here for his examination. With his powerful microscope, thatifies 10,000 diameters, he has fully and himself that the disease is a fungus growth, and is quite what it is carried to the small nuts by the sap from the leaf of the tree. In his opinion it is by a superabundance of moisture in top of a hard-pan stratum, or moisture in the soil with too few cultivations. In his opinion does not claim to be a horticultural spray will do any good, and does with less irrigation and deep dig and cultivation it will take at two years to eradicate the disease. So-called winter irrigation fills ground with water that must cause fires of fermentation. This generate fungus, and is then taken up roots through the body of the root to the tenderest twigs and where it gets in its work. On the investigations made by Cheney and hints suggested for a year, much good may come to the industry of walnut culture. No comments have been made along the suggestions. It might be well to see a few trees or tunnel under to examine the condition of the roots and have them subjected to ecopic examination. W. M. McFADDEN. URBAN ELECTRIC LINE At Work Getting Right of Way Through La Habra Valley. Trask, vice-president and gen-manager of the Interurban rail company, has been over portions contemplated route, in company W. J. Hole, who is working on right of way through La Habra between East Whittier and Anton. We are going to build this road Los Angeles through Anaheim Millerton to Santa Ana,” he said, will probably have it in operations far as Whittier by January 1. We are some rights of way to be acquired which will probably take place. NEWBERRY HAS BAD CASE OF COLD FEET Valley Irrigators in Acquiring Irvine’s Rights Seem to Have Scored Heavily Against the Water Grabber. A deep-chested and sonorous rumor stalked about town yesterday to the effect that one J. R. Newberry of Los Angeles, premier water-grabber and purity-push politician, had been taken down with a serious attack of stomach cramps and cold feet. He had been at Rincon, wading through his 15,000 inches of salvage water which aren’t there, and on his return to his happy home in the beautiful angelic burg was taken down with a severe chill which culminated in the alarming symptoms indicated. He was also affected with a hollow racking cough and indications of palpitation of the liver. A hot Irish toddy, with some nutmeg on top, was immediately administered, and at a late hour last night the patient was said to be sorry he ever did it. People not on the inside did not understand what it was all about, but the wise ones shook their heads knowingly and said there was a hen on. It will be remembered that at the hearing of the demurrer of the two water companies to Newberry’s water-grabbing complaint, in the United States court in Los Angeles some weeks ago, the position of the former was upheld by the court. “You must amend your complaint,” said the court, “if you expect ever to win this case.” That was tantamount to saying that with the complaint with which Newberry went into court, with such bombastic flourish of trumpets, that arch water-grabber was beaten at the start. Whether this initial victory has contributed to his present debilitated condition is not known; but it is tolerably certain that since then things have been doing big with import to valley irrigators, and which have conspired practically to put Mr. Newberry on the hip. The agreement between the Santa Ana water company and James Irvine, whereby valley irrigators will come into possession of his riparian rights in the river at the scene of Newberry’s attempted water grab, is regarded hereabout as rather carrying the war quite into the enemy’s camp. Reference to this deal is made elsewhere in this issue. Irvine never took much stock in Newberry’s piracy, but he was willing to back up with his moral support any project whereby it was remotely possible to get water on the San Joaquin Claim for Services Rendered Rev. Pratt Asks $600 From Estate of Kate Simpson, Who Died in February. Rev. Pratt of the Methodist church has submitted a claim to the estate of Mrs. Kate Simpson, deceased, for $600 for services rendered deceased during ten months, immediate preceding her death. During the past two months of her life, Rev. Fratt was the only attendant. Nurse after nurse had been employed, only to be run off by the dying woman. Some months before her death she fired a revolver at her grand-daughter, who had been induced to come from Los Angeles to act as nurse, when it was impossible to secure a professional nurse. Rev. Pratt remained at the bedside of the dying woman night after night until 11 o’clock and later. After holding services in his church he repaired to her household and saw that her wants were ministered to. The estate is valued at several thousand dollars. A son of the deceased has been appointed administrator. He lives in Los Anfies. Rev. Pratt was advised to put in a claim for $1000, but he was disinclined at first to ask for any compensation. Yielding to the advice of friends, he put in a claim for $600, which the administrator refuses to pay. PERSONAL NOTES FROM THE LANDING Coming and Going of People at This Delightful Summer Resort.

Hole, who is working on night of way through La Habra between East Whittier and Atlanta. The agreement between the Santa Ana water company and James Irvine, whereby valley irrigators will come into possession of his riparian rights in the river at the scene of Newberry's attempted water grab, is regarded hereabout as rather carrying the war quite into the enemy's camp. Reference to this deal is made elsewhere in this issue. Irvine never took much stock in Newberry's piracy, but he was willing to back up with his moral support any project whereby it was remotely possible to get water on the San Joaquin ranch. Newberry had a sympathetic interest coming to him from Irvine, and meantime the latter refused to treat with the Anaheim Water company for disposal to it of a right of way through his lands that held the key to the situation. This right of way is after more than a year of negotiation, about to become the property of the Anaheim company, and with the acquiring of Irvine's other rights in the river at the point indicated, will vanish the last vestige of Irvine's interest in Newberry's petty-larceny scheme. Being moreover about to become a stockholder of the Santa Ana company, which controls the only means on earth of bringing water from the Santa Ana river to the San Joaquin, Irvine will pass from the chrysalis of a Newberry sympathizer into the full-blown and beautiful butterfly of a valley irrigator. The Directors of the Anaheim company will go up the ditch in a day or two to lay out some extensive improvements to their upper canal. Among the new work mapped out is the acquiring of this right of way from Irvine, and the extension of the upper canal from Bedrock Canyon some miles further up the river to the Narrows. All these things possess a human interest to Newberry. He sees the handwriting on the wall, as it were, and his chimerical scheme is about to go glimmering. Important developments in the matter may be looked for within the week. Farmers' Institute. Preliminary arrangements have been made for holding a Farmers' institute at Santa Ana during the month of September. Professor A. J.
