WATER BOARD TAKES A FALL OUT OF COL. TUFFREE He Submits an Agreement Relative to His "Management and Control" of the Reservoir—What the Board Did With It. The water board at its meeting on Saturday afternoon discussed at length a copy of an agreement presented by Col. Tuffree, relative to the change in the ditch emptying into the reservoir situated partly on his ranch. At the previous meeting the Colonel sent in a protest to the change in the line of the ditch, which is being cemented, and which leads into the reservoir from a point upon lands of the Stearns Rancho. The protest was filed, and work on the ditch continued. At Saturday's meeting the Colonel submitted an agreement setting forth that by changing the line of the ditch the company did not do away with his "management and control of the reservoir." The board was of opinion the Colonel exercised no "management or control" of the reservoir, and after a lengthy discussion of the subject, referred the matter back to him with the addition of a clause existing in a previous agreement entered into with him, whereby his "management and control" is not recognized. An amicable adjustment of the matter will probably be arrived at, to the benefit of all parties concerned. The agreement was left in possession of Mr. Bradford, who was delegated authority to hold another conference with Tuffree and arrive at a friendly understanding. While Tuffree's rights in the premises will be preserved, the board, on the other hand, will insist that he has no management or control of the reservoir, nor of the ditch leading thereto, or its exit. Mr. Plerotti reported progress on cementing exit from reservoir through Tuffree's ranch, which he said would be completed by the first of January. The ditch leading into the reservoir was nearly finished. He did not understand why water was not turned into the ditch, according to terms of contract with Damron, who is engaged in strengthening the main canal at Horseshoe Bend. Mr. Crowther (to Pierotti)—Don't you think this failure to have water in the ditch comes under your jurisdiction? Don't you think you ought to go up and see about it? FIRE-HOUSE OIL LAMP EXPLODES; THREATENING DAMAGE City Hall is for a Time the Scene of a Blaze Which Might Have Resulted Disastrously. As Frank Eastman and a number of others were passing in front of the City Hall on Friday evening, some time after 9 o'clock, their attention was attracted to the sputtering of the coal-oil lamp maintained in the fire-house under the council chamber. This lamp burns all night, and is kept for illuminating purposes after turning off the electric lights at midnight. Seeing it was upon the point of exploding, Eastman, who had his bicycle with him, went to Marshal Steadman's residence, two blocks distant, to inform him. While conversing with him in front of his house a moment later, the lamp exploded, sending up a flame which lit up the entire surroundings. Both ran to the Hall, where the blaze was found to be making active headway. Steadman seized the chemical fire-extinguisher and issued its contents upon the fire. It soon subsided, doing no further damage than the destruction of the lamp, which was of the regulation street-lamp pattern. Steadman is of opinion the blaze was caused by poor oil. He noticed the lamp acting queerly when he lit it at 6 o'clock that evening, and watched it half an hour to see what it would do. It seemed to settle down to business and he went home. In this connection a citizen suggests that Anaheim ought to have an active fire-department, as well as a night-watchman. The explosion of the lamp might have caused a bad fire. Had it occurred after midnight, when few people are on the streets, the City Hall might have been consumed, together with its valuable contents. Citizens should create a fund whereby men working at fires could receive compensation. At times they are kept out all night, and on the occasion of fires they ruin their clothing in their efforts to save property. It took the boys 15 or 20 minutes to get a stream on the fire at the orphanage last Wednesday evening. Nine hundred feet of hose had to be unreeled, and after the fire was out it took several hours to get the hose and apparatus back to the fire-house. The fire men ought not to be expected to do all this for nothing. Let us have a paid fire-department, and let subscriptions be collected to that end. And let us AMERIGE SAYS IT WAS ALL A JOKE—ONLY A JOKE No Intention of Petitioning Supervision for Election to Incorporate "Greater Fullerton"—What Others Say. "We never had any intention of corporating 'Greater Fullerton.'" says Ed Amerige, who is supposed to be one of the prime movers of that scheme. "It was only a joke. Dr. Clark came to me one day and says, 'Get into buggy.' 'Where are you going?' says I'm going down to see Frank Porter and I want you to come along. "We went down to see Porter abide it and he opposed the proposition from the start. "People saw me down on Orange thorpe avenue after that and they say 'There goes Amerige; he's working sentiment for 'Greater Fullerton.' But I was not doing anything of kind. I don't want to create strangers among the three communities, we have all along said that if Orangetho and Placentia people were opposed it, I would not favor it. But if they favored it, don't you see, why of course I solo vote or it. I own property Fulerton and also own more acres property outside of the town limits there of these fellows who are doing much kicking." Clark and Amerige offered Porter place on the board of City Flustro but that gentleman langhed at the idle After the two gentlemen had depart he hitched up his horse and buggy drove around to see his neighbors about it. He was prepared, he said take the contest into the courts.ery man he saw said to him, "Call me for as much money as you please fight this matter to a finish." Porter's stand against incorporationthe nearly thirty square miles of chard into "Greater Fullerton" knock that proposition's eye out. Closely associated with him was Go Wetzel, the Placentia statesmen who canvassed his neighborhood w/a protest against incorporation. Not every man he met signed the proclamation. Col. Tuffree of the townsite of Romeo was in town the day Ameregis was here. He was hot after him. "How will the absorption of townsite of Borromeo into 'Greater Fullerton' go?" he was asked. "It will go to——," but his language was too emphatic to be politic "There's nobody up our way in fof the scheme but one or two men,the only reason they favor it it have a few stale bouquets throw them. That's about all they'll Mr. Pierotti reported progress on cementing exit from reservoir through Tuffree's ranch, which he said would be completed by the first of January. The ditch leading into the reservoir was nearly finished. He did not understand why water was not turned into the ditch, according to terms of contract with Damron, who is engaged in strengthening the main canal at Horseshoe Bend. Mr. Crowther (to Pierotti)—Don't you think this failure to have water in the ditch comes under your jurisdiction? Don't you think you ought to go up and see about it? Pierotti—Up to Horseshoe Bend? Crowther—Yes sir. Mr. Sherwood—If Damron cannot complete the work on contract time, let him throw up the contract. This company is losing $50 per day by his failure to get the water down. Bradford said Damron had been unable to get any plasterers for the work. He had sent up two plasterers on Friday, and he hoped to get more soon. Mr. Steward said he had passed by the Bend on the cars the day before, and could not see any men at work. Mr. Smith said he understood Damron's men had struck on him. Attorney Melrose, being called upon to explain the contract with Damron, pointed out the work should be completed December 10th. A penalty of $20 attached to each day thereafter that the work remained unfinished. It appeared Damron had not had any men at work on his contract for eight days. The board instructed the Ditch Committee to go up to the Bend and see that the work was completed as speedily as possible, and to see that it is done according to plans and specifications. Mr. Sherwood charged Engineer Kellogg with neglect of duty in not keeping the board informed of progress of the work. Engineer Kellogg arrived later from the scene of the work, and reported Damron had succeeded in getting together a new force of men, and water would be down today (Thursday.) The board drew a warrant in Damron's favor in the amount of $525 for excavation work done according to terms of contract. The penalty clause will probably be enforced against Damron on final settlement. Smith recommended abandonment of the Ellwood ditch on the East Side, and the substitution of another, which Mr. McClintock desires to make at his own expense. The matter was referred back to him, to procure a deed to right of way from McClintock, when his recommendation will be adopted. Sherwood reported in the matter of pumping plant on East Side, that his committee was gathering information for those having pumping plants, and would be ready to report later. Committee continued. Bradford reported, relative to measuring gates, that it was impracticable to force a 100-inch stream through a 50-inch opening. This process raised water too high in the ditch. Committee continued. A communication was received from W.F. Botsford enclosing a resolution by men working at fires could receive compensation. At times they are kept out all night, and on the occasion of fires they ruin their clothing in their efforts to save property. It took the boys 15 or 20 minutes to get a stream on the fire at the orphanage last Wednesday evening. Nine hundred feet of hose had to be unreceded, and after the fire was out it took several hours to get the hose and apparatus back to the fire-house. The fire men ought not to be expected to do all this for nothing. Let us have a paid fire-department, and let subscriptions be collected to that end. And let us have a night-watchman. Railroad Smashup Olinda is keeping up with the procession as regards railway wrecks, and while some of the worst smashups in the history of the country are being almost daily reported, the oil-well line was some days ago itself the scene of a wreck that smashed a number of cars into snithereens and almost sent Bridge Builder Schmidt and his gang of ten men into kingdom come. The train was being drawn by a green engineer, who was making his first trip over the road. Going up the hill progress was slow, but coming down—that was another story. The engineer forgot his bearings, and while trying to beat the record down the hill, ran into the portion of his train which had been left at the foot of the grade. Only empty oil cars were taken up the hill. Here Schmidt's bridge-building gang had been at work and were ready to proceed to Whittier. The bridge outfit was hooked onto the engine and the new man opened the throttle and started down. Schmidt knew the train was going too fast, and was about to jump, when the collision came. He was thrown against the side of his car, and he and his gang had a rude shaking up. Several cars were splintered, and when the engineer arrived in Los Angeles some hours afterward he was fired. SEEDS. Senators Perkins and Bard and Congressman Needham have forwarded several pouches of seeds, which our farmer friends may have by calling for packages at this office. These seeds are supposed to be the best of their kind, and with care in growing they will undoubtedly give good results. Farmers desiring packages are welcome to them. The seeds embrace vegetables and melons. BICYCLE TIRE PUNCTURE. Mr. Fuhrberg made a trip to Santa Ana on Tuesday, and on his way over sustained a puncture to his bicycle tire which threw him to the ground, bruising his shoulder and otherwise shaking him up. He continued his journey on foot for over a mile, and after transacting his business found that all the north-bound trains had departed from the city. He took the celery freight and arrived home in the evening, after a day of exciting experiences. ALMOST BLIND. L.B. Benchley, the well-known orwho canvassed his neighborhood for a protest against incorporation. No one every man he met signed the proCol. Tufree of the townsite of Romeo was in town the day America was here. He was hot after him. "How will the absorption of the townsite of Borromeo into 'Great Fullerton' go?" he was asked. "It will go to——," but his guage was too emphatic to be politic. "There's nobody up our way in for of the scheme but one or two men, the only reason they favor it is have a few stale bouquets throw them. That's about all they'll get." "There is only one man in Place who favors it," said Ed Kraemer, "one. Now it takes a man with considerable education and a good head him to tell where these boundries They take in Bastanchury's and east to the Tuffree ranch. They over and take in the Kraemer ranch and Carpenter's, and take in the w country. "There are three rigs out circular protests against incorporation." "The these incorporation fellows put down on the election board. I was be from the first ward and Peter son from the second, but we are agin' it." "Why should I favor this incotration scheme?" said Ben Kraemer, nothing but legalized robbery; cite the case of Riverside, with square miles of territory, as an imment for us farmers to go into scheme. I have a cousin living in erside whose taxes last year were and he does not get a cent's worth benefit out of it. The center of Sides gets all the benefit, but they siders pay for it. Put me down against incorporation." Mr. Pierotti of the water board on his head slyly and said he wanted incorporation scheme to raise his b Supervisor Potter said he doubted the Supervisors would include their centia and Orangethorpe district face of the almost unanimous oition to it. "I think Amerige has interfered seriously with his prospects of building Assemblyman, if indeed, he ever really a candidate," said O orchardists who opposed inclusion. "He would be scratched to band if he went before them today, and some of us have long ories. This attempt on the Amerige, Head, Burghole John Dr. Clark and others to incorporate into the limits of 'Greater Fullerton' most unspeakable outrage even tempted on our people. I am glad say it was all a joke. But it was joke to us. It was stern reality." "These fellows are simply hard soft place to fail, when they talk the scheme being a joke. They in earnest all right enough, but found out they could not win, and have yielded as gracefully as tha tion warranted." It was given out yesterday tha proposition to incorporate "G Fullerton" had gone by the boar Sherwood reported in the matter of pumping plant on East Side, that his committee was gathering information for those having pumping plants, and would be ready to report later. Committee continued. Bradford reported, relative to measuring gates, that it was impracticable to force a 100-inch stream through a 50-inch opening. This process raised water too high in the ditch. Committee continued. A communication was received from W. F. Botsford enclosing a resolution adopted by the Olinda Oil company, asking that the company's ditch running through Olinda be cemented at a point near ranch house. On motion of Pierotti, seconded by Bradford, the ditch was ordered cemented for a distance of half a mile at the point indicated, it being in badly washed condition; provided the Olinda company haul gravel and cement and do backfilling according to usual rule. Right-of-way from Major Klokke for ditch. Accepted and filed. Application of Mr. Fletcher for a gate in cement ditch on East Side. Granted. A warrant in amount of $4375 was drawn in favor of Union Trust company of San Francisco for payment of interest. Pierotti—That's the way the money goes! Following transfers of stock were granted: To Ross and Duffill, 50 shares as follows: From A. B. Warner, 3; A. C. Schaubert, 3; L. F. Loomis, 12; J. C. Mauerhan, 2; J. Stern, 1; Wm. Schumacher, 1; G.

He took the celery freight and arrived home in the evening, after a day of exciting experiences. ALMOST BLIND. L. B. Benchley, the well-known orange and walnut grower of Fullerton, who bought the Northam ranch a few years ago for $50,000, has nearly lost his sight, and is undergoing treatment in Los Angeles. Up to within a few days ago he drove in from his ranch every day and had never complained of his sight failing. He was for over twenty years a prominent citizen and capitalist of San Francisco. His affliction will be sad news to his many friends. Later reports are to the effect that a slight improvement has been noted in his condition. FOR SALE.

Miss Marie Horstman of this city was a passenger on the south-bound Southern Pacific limited train which collided with the north-bound limited at a point in Monterey, Thursday morning last. Miss Horstman had gone to San Francisco to attend the funeral of her brother, who breathed his last one day last week. The collision occurred some time after 1 o'clock. Several lives were lost. Both engines were wrecked, and many cars were smashed. The wreckage took fire, and many passengers narrowly escaped with their lives. Miss Horstman escaped uninjured, except for a bad shaking up. Her baggage escaped destruction, while many trunks were broken and burned. It was 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon before the relief train arrived. At 6 o'clock Miss Horstman telegraphed Mr. Korn, her stepfather, here, intelligence of the wreck. Mr. Korn received the message at 7 o'clock that evening. Passengers subsisted upon what scant fare the buffet car afforded until the relief train arrived. Miss Horstman arrived home on Friday, glad to have escaped with her life from the most serious railway smash-up ever recorded in the history of the State. INCORPORATION IS DEAD, QUOTH THE BUNGHOLE "Now Let Us Get Down to Business and Forget" That a New Paper is to be Started Next Week. The Fullerton Bunghole, which a week ago shouted itself hoarse in favoring incorporation of Greater Fullerton, taking in Orangethorpe, Placentia and all the country down to the northern city limits of Anaheim, has flopped. The scheme was too hot for it. In its issue of yesterday its dulcet tones are raised to the following effect: "The incorporation of Greater Fullerton is as dead a proposition as is the Anaheim sanitarium matter. The Tribune is on record as favoring a mile-square city, and nothing larger or smaller. Even the mile-square would work a hardship on a few fruit growers, but the town should never incorporate with less territory than was voted upon, and should not go beyond this limit." WHAT WEATHER BUREAU SAYS OF CLIMATE AND CROPS Ploughing and Seeding Progressing Except in some Northern Districts. Where Soil is Dry. Low temperatures have continued throughout the great valleys and along the coast, but warmer weather has prevailed in Southern California. The weather has been generally clear, with occasional fogs. Severe frosts have occurred in the central and northern portions of the State. No rain has fallen during the week. Plowing and seeding are progressing except in some of the northern districts, where the soil is too dry for profitable cultivation. In portions of the central and northern districts the grain acreage will be large, and in some instances much greater than the average: but in other sections the acreage will be below average if rain does not fall soon. Grain continues in excellent condition in most places, but its growth is being retarded by cool weather. New grass has been damaged by frosts in only a few places, and green feed is abundant. Garden truck has been seriously injured by frost. There is a lack of definite information regarding the damage to citrus fruits by the frosts of the preceding week. It is probable that oranges not protected by smudging were considerably damaged, and it is certain that young orange orchards and nursery stock were badly damaged. Vineyards and orchards are in good condition. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. The weather has been considerably warmer than during the preceding week, and generally clear and pleasant, but with cool, frosty nights in some sections. Grain and grass are being somewhat injured by continued cool weather and absence of rain. No definite reports of the damage to citrus fruits by the severe frosts of the 13th and 14th have been received. The correspondents at Anaheim and North Ontario report very little injury to oranges. The orange crop is maturing rapidly, and heavy shipments are being made. Rain is needed. SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. The weather has continued cold and generally clear during the week, with occasional fogs. Minimum temperatures of twenty and twenty-one degrees are reported in several places, and severe frosts have been frequent throughout the valley. The damage to citrus fruits has been light, but a few oranges remaining on the trees were ruined. Young orange orchards and nursery PERSONAL MENTION Wm. Koenig made a business trip to Los Angeles on Saturday. Archer Fay is home from Stanford spend the holidays with his folks. Mrs. Neff is in San Francisco on buying Christmas presents for children.

There’s nobody up our way in favor of scheme but one or two men, and only reason they favor it is to a few stale bouquets thrown at that’s about all they’ll ever take in Orangethorpe, Placentia and all the country down to the northern city limits of Anaheim, has flopped. The scheme was too hot for it. In its issue of yesterday its dulce tones are raised to the following effect: "The incorporation of Greater Fullerton is as dead a proposition as is the Anaheim sanitary matter. The Tribune is on record as favoring a mile-square city, and nothing larger or smaller. Even the mile-square would work a hardship on a few fruit growers, but the town should never incorporate with less territory than was voted upon, and should not go beyond this limit. The farmers and fruit growers, as was expected by the Tribune, were ready for war when they read the reasons favoring incorporation published in the Tribune two weeks ago, and which were prepared by a committee in favor of Greater Fullerton. But we believe in giving both sides a show, and stand ready at any time to publish matter for and against any question, as discussion of public matters will hurt no one. “As far as incorporating under the present proposed boundaries is concerned, it is best to drop it right now, as it would be defeated by two or three votes to one. We believe the town made a great mistake in not incorporating at the election recently held, but a majority of the citizens thought otherwise, and we are always willing to abide by the decision of a majority. “The gentlemen at the head of the Greater Fullerton movement will, no doubt, drop it at once as there is no show of carrying it through, and the Board of Supervisors would probably refuse to go to the expense of calling the election. Had the people thoroughly understood the matter of incorporation at the last election, and had the liquor question been kept out of the fight, we believe a majority vote would have been cast for incorporation. But the matter is dead. Now let us get down to business and build up the town as best we can, and forget the subject, for the present at least.” STRUCK SALT WATER. Operations at the Landing, where the Anaheim Landing Oil company has been thinking of sinking an oil well, have been temporarily abandoned. Some weeks ago Capt. Schantz was employed to sink a water well near the bay shore, to supply water for sinking an oil well to a greater depth. He went down 200 feet and struck salt water. Now operations are off until further notice. A lady oil locator had given the company to understand that oil exists at this point, and probably knows as much about it as Banquo’s ghost. Preliminary to sinking the deeper well a water well was sunk, but the lady didn’t know anything about the salt water. Schantz and his force returned to town a day or two ago, and when asked when operations would be resumed, said he was not good at answering conundrums. ARTIFICIAL STAR. “That horse has an artificial star in his forehead,” said Truckman Gade some mornings ago, while standing up. The weather has continued cold and generally clear during the week, with occasional fogs. Minimum temperatures of twenty and twenty-one degrees are reported in several places, and severe frosts have been frequent throughout the valley. The damage to citrus fruits has been light, but a few oranges remaining on the trees were ruined. Young orange orchards and nursery stock have been considerably injured, and tender plants and new grass damaged. Grain has not yet been injured by the cold weather, and is in good condition, but would be benefited by rain. Green feed is plentiful. Plowing and seeding continue, though slowly in some sections, and the grain acreage will be considerably curtailed if rain does not fall soon. Vineyard and orchard work is progressing. Sold Her Place Mrs. P. Pfeninger has sold her twenty-acre place on Spadra road, a mile and a half north of this city, to C.W. Overton, recently arrived from Wisconsin. She still retains thirty acres adjoining the property on the north, and has under consideration the erection of a fine residence. She will spend some time with her daughters in Los Angeles during the holidays. Mr. Overton is a gentleman of means, and contemplates many improvements. Water Suits The hearing on the demurrer to the second amended complaint in the suit of the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company vs. O.B.Fuller et al., has been set for December 27th, in the superior court of Riverside county. The suit of Fuller et al. vs. Anaheim Union Water company et al., has been set for February 5, 1902, in the same court. This latter suit it is understood, was started to “nag” the companies because the Durkee ditch passes over a corner of Fuller’s land.

"That horse has an artificial star in his forehead," said Truckman Gade some mornings ago, while standing up on the sidewalk in front of one of many horses tied to the hitching-rack at one of the principal stores. "See that," and rubbing his finger over the animal's forehead he took off a quantity of fresh white paint. "Well, well, isn't that the funniest thing you ever saw?" he said. "Somebody has got somebody else's horse, sure's you live," said Walnutgrower Staples. From a short distance the star in the horse's forehead looked like the real thing, but it was not, and the question arises, what was the paint there for? BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE Merchants report the biggest Christ mas trade in the history of the town. Monday and Tuesday the town was filled with vehicles—more, probably, than ever before in the existence of the community. More people come to town on Saturdays nowadays than ever.
