If the report current last week concerning Newberry's purpose to abandon his scheme of water-grabbing at Rincon shall prove to be true, it will be cause for gratulation on the part of the people of the entire community. But if Newberry has not given up, and still persists in his nefarious work, the culmination of the inevitable result of his scheming will be delayed but a short while; for there can be but one result of the contest. Newberry's scheme has already sustained one defeat in the United States court in Los Angeles. His voluminous complaint, with which he went into court with such flourish of trumpets, had to be pared down in consonance with the objections made by the valley irrigators. Persons familiar with the case aver this was a body blow very like the solar plexus; but let Newberry possess his soul in patience. The valley men have other blows in store for him, until they land squarely upon the point of his jaw, figuratively speaking, when he will be done for a verity. The purchase of Irvine's riparian rights up the river is calculated to lay Newberry out colder than a wedge, if the contrary decision of the court had not that beneficent effect. It cannot to be doubted that, with these two disasters following rapidly one upon the other's heels, these recent occurrences have had much to do with the changed demeanor of this arch water-grabber. A month ago he was set on corralling all the water in the river, leaving the 25,000 acres of orchard land in this county to dry up for lack of irrigation. He desired to rob the people of which they have lar vote, is unconstitutional. The question came before the court from Ventura county, where a saloon-keeper was arrested for violating an ordinance intended to regulate the selling of liquor within the county. The ordinance in dispute was voted upon by the people at an election held last November, and was adopted in strict conformity with the County Government act. Judge Henshaw, who wrote the decision of the court, declares in unqualified language that the ordinance is invalid. He finds that, under the law of this State, legislation cannot be passed directly by the people, but must originate with their regular representatives—in the State with the senate and assembly, and in the counties with the boards of supervisors. Judges McFarland, Harrison and Temple concurred in Judge Henshaw's decision. Judge Van Dyke wrote a separate concurring opinion, in which he was joined by Judge Garoutte. Chief Justice Beatty dissented from the decision of his fellow jurists. As we understand it, the decision does not affect Orange county; for, while the liquor law operative here contains the same provisions as the Ventura law, yet the Ventura Supervisors erred in this: Instead of adopting an ordinance in line with the views of the people expressed at the ballot-box (as was done in Orange county), they issued a proclamation setting forth the fact that the people having voted affirmatively upon Prohibition outside incorporate towns, the same was therefore in full force and effect. That, according to the light before us, vouchsafed by the meagre telegraph reports, is where Ventura is reversed. The Orange county Supervisors, we understand, fought shy of this complication, and after the people had voted against saloons, adopted an ordinance as of its own creation, and therefore, so the lawyers say, Prohibition still prevails. The Supreme Court says: "Legislation . . . must originate . . . in the counties with the Supervisors.' That is what was done in Orange county, and so the law must stand. CAN KELLOGG BE TRUSTED IN HANDLING "PIE" Mr. Sherwood Offers a Few Further Observations Upon the Water Controversy. EDITOR GAZETTE:—So Armor was not the little boy from Oberlin, Ohio I must really beg his pardon, but then likeness was so striking that I feel that perhaps I was excusable in getting my dates mixed. The thrilling tale with which he opens his last harangue, shows that his energies are being misapplied. He should have amplified them in his well-known manner, when the craze for war stories was on, and sent it to the penny magazine. Their present application exists only in Armor's disordered imagination. Of course, he draws a pension for being present at the battle. While it is hardly worth while to argue with Armor, as he persistent misrepresents and befogs every issue and my attitude toward the same still, I have a purpose in so doing by yond that of permitting him to show his remarkable disposition for perverting facts—part of which is prevent, in future, the expenditure of large sums of money by the rectors, without the knowledge or consent of the stockholders. With regard to the Durkee purchase, I have held as follows, and see no present reason for changing my opinion: First—That the Directors of A. U. W. Co. were not justified making the purchase without consent or knowledge of the stockholders. Second—That they further erred in not making a definite office statement of the reasons for making the purchase, and the support benefits to accrue therefrom, to stockholders at the next annual meeting. Third—That there has been more misrepresentation of facts allow to become current by Armor The San Joaquin Gun club, acting in conjunction with James Irvine have in contemplation the construction of a dam across the "Narrows," at Newport bay, for the purpose of forming a game preserve and of reclaiming several thousand acres of fertile land from overflow by the tidal channels. Contractor Groat has been on the ground, and has made a report acknowledging the feasibility of the plan and recommending its construction. This dam will be similar to that constructed at Bolsa Chica by the gun club of that name, the purpose of which is not only for the reclamation of thousands of acres of rich peat land, but as well for the creation of a fresh-water lake to form a breeding place for reed birds. A great outcry against the maintenance of this dam has gone up from a portion of the residents of the neighborhood, and recently one of them read an ill-timed and inflammatory paper before a farmers' institute dealing with this subject, which was as much out of place as anything could be. However, those farmers living nearest the dam are loud in its praises, and have gained several thousand dollars by the reclamation of much of their submerged land by the lowering of the plane of saturation by the dam. Those conversant with the situation know this full well. The Bolsa Land company have in view the expenditure of a quarter of a wedge, if the contrary decision of the court had not that beneficent effect. It cannot to be doubted that, with these two disasters following rapidly one upon the other's heels, these recent occurrences have had much to do with the changed demeanor of this arch water-grabber. A month ago he was set on corralling all the water in the river, leaving the 25,000 acres of orchard land in this county to dry up for lack of irrigation. He desired to rob the people of rights of which they have been in peaceful enjoyment for forty years. Now he asks them to give him what they can spare. He is understood to have asked for an armistice pending the examination of his bodily hurts. But the valley irrigators have but one thing to do with Mr. Newberry, and that is to fight him to a finish. As one irrigator recently said: "Before permitting this man to rob us of our water rights, we will assemble a thousand men at Rincon with shotguns to protect our interests!" We do not believe in these extreme measures; but let there be no compromise with Newberry, The Orange county Supervisors, we understand, fought shy of this complication, and after the people had voted against saloons, adopted an ordinance as of its own creation, and therefore, so the lawyers say, Prohibition still prevails. The Supreme Court says: "Legislation . . . must originate . . . in the counties with the Supervisors.' That is what was done in Orange county, and so the law must stand. The San Bernardino Sun announces that O. Z. Hubbel has determined not to be a candidate for Congress from the Eighth district. In this Mr. Hubbel shows commendable judgment, for he is too young in the district to expect such exalted honors. Moreover, his own county (San Bernardino) seems to favor Major Prescott, and this necessarily eliminates Hubbel from the contest. Yet Prescott's candidacy has not set the district on fire outside his own county. The contest for the prize seems to have practically settled down between Senator Nutt of San Diego and Senator Smith of Kern, with the advantage in favor of the former. Senator Nutt's extensive property investments in Orange county should make him particularly strong here. But the convention is a long way off yet, and there may be many changes upon the political checkerboard before the flowers bloom again in the spring. What a Tale it Tells.

CHICAGO,, August 26.-A special to the Chicago Tribune from Louisville A U.W.Co. were not justified making the purchase without consent or knowledge of the stockholders. Second—That they further erred in not making a definite offer statement of the reasons for making the purchase, and the support benefits to accrue therefrom, to stockholders at the next annual meeting. Third—That there has been misrepresentation of facts allow to become current by Armor others with regard to the "1 inches of water"; "the checkmate of Newberry," and the utility of land for water development poses. Fourth—That it has not yet been demonstrated that the land rights obtained were worth $100 "to us," however the case may be been with Armor's company. Armor finally admits that we not get 1,000 inches continuous fur but, as I stated, what Durkee to irrigate his ranch with. Has mor any figures to show just wDurkee did use in the summer months, or how many acres of all he irrigated when water was plentiful? It is known that he ways ran plenty of water on ranch in winter, and filled theervoir." How we gain any advantage by assuming this expense selves, perhaps Armor can expIndeed, it was stated at our meeting that the "reservoir" was filled last winter, by some one's lect; and that measurements show a loss of 200 inches or a continuous flow during the dry son, which we have lost this sun by some one's carelessness. The opinions have been arrived at careful deliberation; and Mr.A is informed that I shall hold to until they are changed by evidence epithets fair argument. The bloated self-esteem of person is pitiful and ridiculous "our people never kick." I do not care at present to die Mr. Kellogg's pedigree. The thing I know about him is that mor vouches for him. It is intending to learn that he got his first sons in surveying from Crowd and, I suppose, of course, that has absorbed much valuable information from Armor which should him the greatest ever. I hope ever, that he is to be trusted in liking "pie." The problem of who he can serve two masters or not wait until Armor admits that covets our right of way, which appears to be not far distant. I regret that my time this The Bolsa Land company have in view the expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars at their club grounds, and, but for the senseless haranguing of a party of blather-skites in that region, would have had their work of improvement much further under way. The San Joaquin club has similar improvements in sight. All of this adds materially to the roll of the county's taxable wealth. Previous to the improvements at Bolsa beach, nothing but sand dunes met the eye. The work of reclamation inaugurated by these two companies is one of the most important in Southern California. The San Joaquin club will reclaim a great stretch of fertile land, develop thousands of inches of sweet water, and invest thousands of dollars for labor in their enterprise. This overflowed land has become too valuable to longer permit it to remain in its present worthless condition. The county is progressing, and what the Bolsa Chica club has already done the San Joaquin club will pattern after, to the end that thousands of acres of fertile land will be made to bear its just burdens of government.

Chicago, August 26.—A special to the Chicago Tribune from Louisville says: Champagne, whisky and sparkling water, twelve glasses used for serving each of the three beverages, a table in the Galt House, around which sat six Californians and a like number of Kentuckians, figured a "drinking duel" tonight. The conditions were to alternate the wine and Bourbon to test the capacity of the representatives from the Golden Gate City and the selected past masters in the game of drink. Five of the sons of the Blue Grass State went under the table, and the sixth, begging to be excused, nerved himself to an almost impossible task, set his eyes toward the door and was gone. All California will be talking about this achievement, and at least six Kentuckians expect to be able to lift their hats tomorrow to their conquerors. A party of San Francisco were enjoying "high balls" when a Kentucky friend, who happened in to assist in making things pleasant, said: "Gentlemen, the only way to drink liquor is straight. I take mine just as it comes from the still. I never become intoxicated, and I have yet to meet the man able to drink more or keep at it longer." This was the challenge, and it was accepted. The Californians won. A parlor entertainment will be given at the residence of Mr. Rea this (Thursday) evening, by the members of the Christian Endeavorers. A cordial invitation is extended all to attend. Money to Loan From $5,000 to $10,000 in sums to suit on real estate or approved security Apply to Richard Melrose. dec-23t REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

"In a long experience in the treasury department I have come across a very large number of names, many of which are rather peculiar," explained an old official, "but I think the list of names in connection with the subscription to the 3 per cent bonds surpasses anything in the way of peculiarity that I have ever observed. Of these the one that struck me most was a man who signed himself Ten Million and who resides out in Oregon. We thought the name was an imaginative one and wrote the man that it was desired that the bonds should be registered in real names only and that no further attention would be paid to his subscription until he was heard from. He replied that his name was Ten Million. His letter was written on the printed letterhead of the firm of Million & Million, two brothers." "Then followed an explanation that his father and mother were unable to select names for their children that were mutually satisfactory and that as a result, though they had had ten children, none of them was ever christened formally. The first child was a girl, and she was known only as One Million. The second child, also a girl, was known as Two Million. Thus they ran along until Ten Million was reached, and he was the writer of the letter, the other member of the firm being a brother whose only name, as far as the family was concerned, was Seven Million, the seventh child. He added that One Million had afterward called herself Una Million, that the third girl was known after she had grown up as Trío Million. The others had taken on additions to their names, and he had adopted the name of Tenis Million, but his real name was Ten Million and nothing else. The bonds were issued to him and on the books of the department were registered in the name of Ten Million." — Washington Star. When Matches Were Introduced.

There was a moment of suspense. The wind was very light now. The powder smoke drifted away, and the flapping sails sounded loud overhead. Would the admiral answer back or would he treat this bold challenge like a handkerchief waved at him from a pleasure boat? Some of the officers on the Ranger looked incredulous, but Paul Jones still held his letter in his hand.

A Londoner Calmly Returned Money Given to Him by Mistake. A gentleman of my acquaintance had a curious experience of manners and customs of modern England a few nights ago at the theater. He had taken four stalls, but at the last moment found two of his party unable to come. On his arrival at the theater he left the two spare tickets at the box office, the clerk promising to sell them if he could and send the cash to him when they were sold. He took his place and soon afterward was gratified to see his two surplus seats occupied. The individuals who took them were attired in evening dress and bore the outward semblance of gentlemen. My friend began to look out for the money which was to come from the box office. Presently a concessionnaire entered, passed down the row of seats and addressed one of the two newcomers. My friend noticed that the commissionaire passed something to one of the gentlemen, who put it into his pocket without a word. A sense of uneasiness stole over my friend with regard to the 15 shillings that was due to him, and as the evening was getting on he thought he would go and make an inquiry at the box office. His suspicions were verified. The clerk had sent in the money by a commissionaire. The commissionaire was called from the door and on seeing my friend at once realized that he had given the money to the wrong man. He promptly went back to the theater, my friend following to see the fun. The commissionaire went straight to the party to whom he had handed the money and said, "Ere, you've got 15 shillings that don't belong to you." The other replied in an unconcerned way, "Oh, yes!" took the money out of his pocket and returned it to the commissionaire. "He showed no trace of embarrassment," says my friend. "He handed back the money, as he had pocketed it, without turning a hair." I always like to think the best of people, and possibly this individual, being a stranger to music halls, was under the impression that it is the practice of the proprietors of such establishments to send a commissionaire around from time to time to distribute cash bonuses among the audience—London Truth. Wesley a Book Lover. Wesley was to the end of his life a lover of a good book. Though the Bible was his chief study, he would have agreed with Matthew Arnold that a man who did not know other books could not know that book as it should be known. He constantly urged his preachers to read: "You can never be a deep preacher without reading," he used to say, "any more than a thorough Christian." To a young man who said that his work as an evangelist left him no time for reading he wrote: "Hence your talent in preaching does not increase. It is just the same as it was seven years ago. It is lively, but not deep. There is little variety. There is no compass of thought."

The rarest and costliest of gems, though not always esteemed the most beautiful, are pigeon's blood rubles, fine opals and diamonds that are pure but shed a distinct glow of blue or pink. A very perfect pearl of generous size and lustrous skin, tinted a rarely beautiful golden green, was valued unset at over £300. A faultless green pearl is very rare. A curious stone is the Alexandrite. It is a dark green stone that is polished, cut and set, very like a fine topaz or amethyst, in large showy rings surrounded by diamonds. By the light of day the Alexandrite has no special beauty save its fine luster, but directly a shaft of artificial light strikes the dull stone deep gleams of red flash out of the green, and under the gas or in the firelight one ignorant of this vagary would instantly pronounce it a ruby. A Mechanical Answer. The well to do patron of the place had been attentive to the cashier for some time, and now, business being slack for a few moments, he deemed the time propitious to speak. "If you will be mine," he urged as he leaned over the desk, "every comfort that you may desire will be yours. True, I am no longer young, but I have money, and I can provide for you as few young men could, and surely the material side of the marriage question is worthy of some consideration." She said nothing, but gently touched the cash register, and the words "No Sale" sprang into view. With a sigh he left—Chicago Post. SUMMONS.
