CHIEF ENGINEER BURNS AT A FETE CHAMPETRE What He Said When He Was Full of a Picnic Spread, and What He Said When He Recovered. When the water board got settled down to good working order on Saturday afternoon, its spirits were chilled by the reading of the following communication from the chief engineer of the Santa Fe railway, turning down the offer to pay $250 for the contemplated removal of each of eight bridges by straightening the main canal at Horseshoe Bend: LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 1901. H. CLAY KELLOGG: Dear Sir—Replying to your favor of Sept. 23d, relative to proposition of the Anaheim Union Water company, contained in my letter of Sept. 11, the general manager will not agree to pay the water company $250 for each of the bridges taken out. He will, however, agree to give you a work train for a sufficient length of time to take out the cut referred to, provided you furnish not less than 30 laborers to load the cars, and he will agree to furnish free transportation over the S. C. Ry. for all of the cement required in cementing the ditch. Yours truly, R. B. BURNS, Chief Engineer. Mr. Crowther—That is just what I expected. We alled him up with a picnic lunch, and this is what we get for it. Mr. Sherwood expressed the opinion that, on the occasion of the fete champetre in honor of Mr. Burns, when that gentleman averred his company would "do better" than pay $250 for the removal of each bridge, he "was talking through his hat." Mr. Pierotti observed that Burns had a bully good picnic that day. Mr. Crowther (gravely)—At whose expense? EngineerKellogg submitted a lengthy report of work to be done on the upper ditch and at the Yorba reservoir. The board, after hearing the reading of the same, ordered it to the file, to be taken up for further consideration later. It is quite probable the work upon the ditch at the Bend will be deferred for the present. The company had been assured the railway would recompense it for the removal of a number of bridges, in the amount stated, and Burns' enthusiastic remarks on the occasion of the picnic were taken to mean that the railway Sundries for ranch.....12 20 W.

H. Stern and Dr. Johnston, representing the Chamber of Commerce, addressed the council on behalf of the sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich., a branch of which the Chamber is seeking to locate in this city. They dwelt upon the manifold benefits to accrue to the city by the establishment of the sanitarium, which would have hundreds of patients and be a money maker for the city. A number of towns in Southern California were bidding for it. Long Beach offers thirty acres of land. In addition to the other inducements offered by this city, committee suggested council offer free water. The Chamber's proposition would be forwarded East immediately, and the committee suggested that action be as expeditious as was consistent under the circumstances. Trustee Helmsen said it was impossible for city under the law to make an offer of free water. He regarded the offer already made by this city as the best so far made in the State. It was offering a building, which could not be replaced for less than $30,000, for comparatively nothing. The city water rate was low (12 cents per 1000 gallons), and he doubted if the concession of free water, even if it could be made, should be regarded as of great moment by the sanitarium people. Trustee Dickel spoke of the desirability of locating the sanitarium here, and said he favored making the rate as low as possible. He therefore moved the rate be made five cents per 1000 gallons. Trustee Weisel seconded the motion, and it was carried without division. Trustee Schneider reporting for the Committee on Public Improvements, said the electric light line had been extended to ex-Mayor Rust's place and lights installed. Ties across Center street near Tim Boege's, which had been left by workmen tearing up the old street railway track, obstructed the thoroughfare, and he recommended that the owner remove them or that the Marshal do so and use them for fire- EngineerKellogg submitted a lengthy report of work to be done on the upper ditch and at the Yorba reservoir. The board, after hearing the reading of the same, ordered it to the file, to be taken up for further consideration later. It is quite probable the work upon the ditch at the Bend will be deferred for the present. The company had been assured the railway would recompense it for the removal of a number of bridges, in the amount stated, and Burns' enthusiastic remarks on the occasion of the picnic were taken to mean that the railway people were in earnest, but subsequent correspondence proved the board was chasing a will-o'-the-wisp. The board turned from railway matters and double-crosses to a report of a special committee turning down Col. Tuffree's request for a turbine wheel on his ranch. Tuffree asked (1) for a pipe line across his ranch, the length of a mile; and (2) that he be permitted to construct a turbine wheel at the lower end of the pipe, the same to be used for power purposes. He offered to pay a fourth of the cost of the pipe. The board turned the application down with a thud. Mr. Burns is still a lap ahead of the board. The Ditch committee reported in favor of granting the request of Sparks Bros. and Suyder for cementing a ditch of 300 inches capacity on the Garden Grove road. The estimated cost is $700. Mr. Sherwood opposed the work. He said that if the company had in view the expenditure of $7,000 on the upper ditch and $5,000 on the Anaheim main ditch, the board had better go slow in making further appropriations of money, or the stockholders would have a big assessment to pay. Mr. Steward moved the report be adopted and the work ordered done. Sherwood scowled at Steward, but said never a word. The vote resulted: Ayes—Crowther, Plerotti, Adams, Smith, Steward, Bradford Noes—Sherwood. The Chair—The ayes have it. Not quite unanimous! Mr. Bradford submitted a letter from the Baker iron works, fixing a price of $1.65 for iron ditch gates. At a former meeting Mr. Kellogg said the same should not cost more than 75 cents. A petition for cementing a new ditch at the Richman & Millis place at Fullerton was received. Mr. Witmer addressed the board in favor of it. All the irrigators on the line of the ditch favored its construction; and, as for him, he could not irrigate but a quarter of his land with the present ditch. All the irrigators spoken to by him favored the ditch, except Mr. Holcomb, who appeared a bit cranky; but he (Witmer) doubted not that gentleman would favor the ditch. Mr. Crowther—This ditch business over your way is a little neighborhood quarrel, isn't it? The matter went over to the Ditch Superintendent and zanjeros...

Officer, Mark Austin, officials of the C. & S., and Timothy Carroll and son were engaged in locating switches along the C. & S. road Monday, for the benefit of the beet growers. One switch was located 1½ miles north of Longmont, one at Berthoud, and another at Hankins', just south of Loveland. In connection with these switches the Great Western Construction Company will contract for the erection of three Carroll dumping machines, one at each switch, whereby the farmer can drive onto an elevated platform, which will automatically tilt and unload the beets into the cars on the siding. This will result in a great saving of time to the farmer and at no expense except the purchase of a wagon bed with hinged sides. The dump is the invention of Timothy Carroll, of Anaheim, Cal., who is here in person to superintend the erection of the beet dumps. There will be from this source alone another demand for laborers, as there is a great deal of work connected with their construction. The beet dump is a great time saver, and the company has shown that it cares not for expense in provid- Mr. Crowther—This ditch business over your way is a little neighborhood quarrel, isn't it? The matter went over to the Ditch committee. Application of W. W. Mickle for cementing a ditch at the West End, he agreeing to haul the gravel, cement and do the back-filling. To the same committee. The following report of the committee on the Durkee ranch was submitted: ANAHEIM, Cal., Sept. 20, 1901. To the Board of Directors of the S. A. V. I. Co. and the A. U. W.

The Supervisors have appointed the following officers for the incorporation election to be held at Fullerton the 26th of next month: H. C. Head and C. G. Rowan, clerks; J. R. Gardner and W. A. Connoly, ballot clerks; William Schumacher and Joseph Goodman, judges; James Conliff and J. H. Lotz, inspectors. It is the general impression that incorporation will again be defeated, as it now becomes clear that the effort to incorporate is fathered by the saloon men principally. The saloon fight in Fullerton has been bitter, and so far, the better element has had the whip hand. The proposition to include so small a boundary as that now proposed is considered by the anti-saloon people to be for the purpose of shutting out the heavier taxpayers and getting the benefit of the floating vote for the saloons. With the present proposed boundaries (half a mile by three-quarter square) the tax rate would be necessarily very high in order to defray the expenses of the city government, and it is not believed that the residents of Fullerton will care to saddle this extra expense upon themselves. It seems to be conceded the proposition will be more decisively defeated than at the election last month. They will drive over this morning. Eight bids for furnishing the city ten cars of oil, submitted at the last meeting and laid over to give Mr. Brown of the Murphy oil company a chance to combine a deal for two displaced boilers at city power house with the oil trade, were turned down. Mr. Brown failed to make good, and resembled in many respects two false alarms. The board will ask for new bids. Richard Melrose was, on motion of Dickel, seconded by Fay, elected legal adviser of the city. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for September: For water, $204 10; electric lights, $349 55; licenses, $166; total, $719 65; less 5 per cent commission for collection, $35 98; deposited with Treasurer, $683 67. Delinquents collected: Water, $19 60; lights, $8; total, $27 60. Delinquents reported: Water, $38 60; lights, $7 45; licenses, $1 25. Total, $47 30. The amount turned in is the largest monthly collection in the history of the town. Treasurer Cahen reported funds to the amount of $1803 91 on hand. Bills to the amount of $803 35 were audited and ordered paid. Richard Burmester of Los Angeles has taken a position with Harris & Falkenstein. CUNCIL MAKE SHOW WATER RATE May Have it at 5 Cents Per Gallon—Such a False Alarm Was Mr. Brown Council met on Tuesday all members present, viz.: Dickel, Fay, Schneider and Dr. Johnston, representative of Commerce, address on behalf of the sanitaryite Creek, Mich., a branch of the Chamber is seeking to locality. They dwelt upon the benefits to accrue to the city establishment of the sanitarium, and have hundreds of patients money maker for the city. A towns in Southern California holding for it. Long Beach acres of land. In addition for inducements offered by committee suggested council water. The Chamber's should be forwarded East immed and the committee suggestion by council be as expedient as was consistent under the rules. Eichler said it was impossibly under the law to make an ice water. He regarded the ice made by this city as the made in the State. It was building, which could not be less than $30,000, for something. The city water (124 cents per 1000 gallons) doubted if the concession war, even if it could be made, regarded as of great momentarium people. Dickel spoke of the desirability of the sanitarium here, favored making the rate as stable. He therefore moved made 5 cents per 1000 gallons. Weisel seconded the motion, carried without division. Schneider, reporting for the Town Public Improvements, electric light line had been ex-Mayor Rust's place and called. Ties across Center Tim Boege's, which had any workmen tearing up the railway track, obstructed the tie, and he recommended her remove them or that she so and use them for fire. BILL EICHLER'S HALLUCINATION Leaves Home on Monday Forenoon, and Is Not Found Until the Next Afternoon at 2. Bill Eichler left his home in the Santa Fe tract on Monday morning in a demented condition, and was not discovered until Ed Bustamente found him seated upon the curb at the Opera House on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Eichler has been out of his head for upward of a year. Since the death of his young son of lockjaw early in the year, his moroseness and melancholy increased to such an extent that his neighbors feared he would lapse into insanity. At 10 o'clock Monday evening Mr. Tapia, driving home from Fullerton, met Eichler at the Pfeninger place, walking toward the latter town. "Where have you been?" asked Bustamente of the demented man. "I have been to see my relatives in Pasadena." "Don't you know me?" Eichler shook his head. "Don't you want to go home?" Eichler nodded his head. He was taken home, where his wants were attended to. He was wet with perspiration. He stoutly protested against sending for a physician. Officers looked for him in this city, Fullerton and Placentia all of Monday night. They expected to find him dead under some brush, thinking he might have crawled under the same and perished. Eichler is a veteran of the Civil War and draws a pension of $8 per month. From New York Gustave Uhrig of New York has been in town for some days past, looking at the famous Brookshurt orchard, which has for upward of a year been tangled up in a family lawsuit. He may decide to purchase the property. Mr. Uhrig conducts one of the largest tailoring establishments in New York, his location being opposite the Waldorf-Astoria. He is looking for a comfortable country home in California, having about decided, on account of his health, to retire from the activities of business life. He has resided in the Eastern metropolis for 35 years. His wife visited at the ranch last year, the Uhrig and Cargill families having been old-time friends. Mr. Uhrig returns East today. This is his first visit to LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST Horse With Glanders. Lemm Gleichner was walking along the street on Friday afternoon when he saw a horse affected with glanders tied to a hitching-post. He reported the case to the authorities, and Veterinary Surgeon Connolly was notified by Supervisor Potter to investigate the case. As soon as Connolly saw the horse, he said it had glanders and ordered it killed. Its owner proved to be Mrs. McCarthy, who lives some miles northwest of town. When informed of the nature of the case, she said the animal would be taken out of town and killed. Connolly said he had some days ago condemned a valuable mule at Placentia, which was similarly affected. It is said there are one or two suspicious cases among horses on the McCarthy ranch. The post to which the glandered horse was hitched was immediately disinfected with a strong solution of carbolic acid and other disinfectants. Crazy Man Mr. Kirby informs us the crazy man reported by the Santa Ana papers as having been frightening women and children in the Santiago canyon paid him a visit at his ranch at Peralta one morning recently. He was out in the orchard looking at his trees, when the chap hove in sight over the hills. Coming up, he asked for his breakfast. He was introduced to the woodpile, and informed that a meal would be forthcoming when the household arose, if he would meantime amuse himself by manipulating the axe. This he went at with a will and was later given a meal. Mr. Kirby noticed as the fellow sat at table that two large horse pistols protruded from his hip pockets. After breakfast the man began his monkey-shines, when he was told to go. He started over the hills in the direction of the canyon, and a day or two later had the officers after him. Brookshurst Suit. Judge Ballard on Monday in the Superior Court decided the suit of Julius J. Schneider of this city vs. Charles H. Blair and others of New York, involving the Brookshurst ranch. Judgment was given in favor of defendant in the sum of $40,000 and attorney's fees. The order of the court decrees that a sale of all the property of the Brookshurst Ranch company be made.

On Sunday they visited Santa Ana, Orange, Olive and surrounding country, and Monday the oil fields of Los Angeles. He is greatly interested in the growing oil industry of this coast. He was pleased with our town, and said that the Chamber of Commerce was working in the right direction in trying to secure the sanitarium, which would be a stepping-stone toward Anaheim's future prosperity. Mr. Schmidt left on the "Owl" Monday for Salt Lake, Utah, and Leadville, Col., where he has large mining interests, taking with him a pleasant memory of his four-mounts' tour of California. Cannery. Peter Weisel informs us the cannery has closed down for the season. The output has been 80 carloads of canned fruits and vegetables—apricots, peaches, tomatoes, etc. It was not so large as last year by 20 cars, on account of the scant tomato crop. The cannery last year made a record run on tomatoes, many carloads being shipped to the Philippines and Europe. Rabbit Drive. A number of the mighty nimrods of this city engaged in a rabbit drive on Sunday—the first of the season. Some sixty odd young jackets and cottontails were killed, and since then friends of the hunters have enjoyed many a choice morsel of ragout and potpie a La Crab-tree.

Judge Ballard on Monday in the Superior Court decided the suit of Julius J. Schneider of this city vs. Charles H. Blair and others of New York, involving the Brookshurst ranch. Judgment was given in favor of defendant in the sum of $40,000 and attorney's fees. The order of the court decrees that a sale of all the property of the Brookshurst Ranch company be made. Suit was begun by Schneider as judgment creditor of the Brookshurst company to set aside and annul a mortgage made by the ranch company to Blair. Blair filed a cross-complaint to foreclose the mortgage, bringing in as parties defendant Schneider and several others. Each of these demurred, setting up as a defense the alleged invailidity of the mortgage and also pleading the statute of limitations. O. B. Carter of Los Angeles was the attorney for Blair, while the other parties to the suit were represented by John D. Pope and others of Los Angeles, Richard Melrose of this city, and Ray Billingsley of Santa Ana. State Game Laws. The Agricultural Department has prepared a digest of the game laws of the several States for 1901, which will be served in the form of a pamphlet. Last spring amendments were enacted by the legislatures of nearly all the States; numerous changes being made.The Department says: "Experience has shown that while much stress is laid on closed seasons, comparatively little importance is attached to violations of other provisions of the game laws, and it does not seem to be generally recognized that killing game by illegal methods, in excess of the number allowed by law, or for unlawful purposes, is as serious an offense as killing game out of season. "In order to emphasize this point, a special chapter on methods has been introduced and some of the sections in the former reports have been rearranged. As the bulletin now stands it is practically a complete digest of existing Federal, State and Provincial laws relating to capture, shipment and sale of game." Obviously, in a country like this, the public needs some education on game laws. For about two hundred years after the settlement of the United States, such laws were unnecessary because game was so abundant that there was enough for every poor man who knew how to use a gun or a rod. Gradually, in the more thickly settled portions of the country, the animals most in demand were practically exterminated, and this process was hastened by the immense depredations of milliners and furriers, who paid what seemed to the country to be large prices for the skins of birds and animals. As transportation facilities were improved and extended, it became possible to supply game for city markets in much larger quantities than had before been sent there, and all this time little or no effort had been made toward preserving or breeding the species thus ruthlessly destroyed. The history of game preserving in this country is much the same as that of forestry.
