TUFFREE HAS SURPRISE PACKAGE FOR WATER BOARD Reservoir Having Been Cleaned to Twice Its Capacity. He Asks Increased Rent from $60 to $120 per Annum. The water board met in regular session on Saturday afternoon; present, Sherwood, Bradford, Crowther, Hale, Sheppard, Smith, Zeyn. Col. Tuffree submitted a communication setting forth the fact that inasmuch as the reservoir partly on his ranch had been dredged, cleaned and repaired, so that it is now double its former size, he desired the rental raised from $60 per annum to $120, payable in advance. Bradford observed that was what the company got for spending $6000 in cleaning out and improving the reservoir. Hale said the enlarged reservoir took up no more of Tuffree's land than did the old reservoir, inasmuch as the water backs up on hilly land adjoining his place. Reference to the lease showed the company had a perpetual lease upon the reservoir site at $60 per year. Rent was due the first of March. The same was ordered paid. The matter of the raise in rental was referred to Attorney Melrose. Hale said if the company was to have a continual scrap with Tuffree about the reservoir, he favored purchasing it outright and having an end to it. The Ditch Committee submitted the following report: Damron will be ready to begin cementing by Monday, the 3rd inst. The excavation of 800 feet above Slate rock will be completed on or before the 5th, and we shall be prepared to push the cementing rapidly. The dam at the head of Anaheim ditch was washed away in the last rain. We report progress in cleaning Tuffree reservoir. The dyke and sluice gates are in. Will continue sluicing as soon as water is in canal. The frame for the gate at the north end-of pipe above the dam is well under way, and the canal east of Tuffree's reservoir about half cemented. We call your attention to the iron pipe under the dam at Tuffree reservoir, which has settled about four inches. The cut in Tuffree's place below reservoir is completed, and work on dam is progressing. The cement ditch below the reservoir has been broken in several places by the last rain. In regard to the Roerden and Wag- ceived a telephone message from Mr. Armor, president of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, saying his company had rejected proposal of Anaheim Union Water Company relative to joint canal, and asking for a further conference. Hale said there was no necessity for any hurry in the matter. Irvine's riparian rights, which the Santa Ana company desired to purchase, were based, he thought, upon a floating survey, and seemed to be unimportant anyway. The board after discussion agreed to meet the Santa Ana directors today (Thursday) at 2 o'clock, when the question will be argued further. A CASE OF SMALLPOX AT CLAIR William Robinson Comes Home from San Bernardino Suffering with the Disease William Robinson, son of T. J. Robinson of Clair, is down with a well-developed case of smallpox. He returned a week ago Sunday evening from San Bernardino, where he had been at work, and complained of being ill. He had a headache and was feverish. Two days thereafter it was discovered he was suffering from a mild case of smallpox. Physicians were immediately summoned and took charge of the case. The entire family, consisting of the parents and six children, all of whom had been exposed to infection, were at once vaccinated, as were the members of a neighboring family, who had also been exposed. The Robinson residence is situated opposite the Clair church. It has been quarantined and the children removed to the residence of a neighbor. Yesterday it was announced the patient was getting along well. The attack being a mild one, no unfavorable results are apprehended. HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN TWELVE YEARS Not Since February, 1890, Has so Much Rain Fallen as During the Storm Terminating Sunday Morning. An inspection of the rain record in Mr. Dickel's office shows that not since the week beginning the 16th day of February, 1890, has so much rains fallen as during the recent storm beginning February 22nd and continuing up to last Sunday morning, March 2nd. During this period of but little more than a week, 4.62 inches of rain fell— A SYMPOSIUM ON THE RESERVOIR Mr. Bradford Gives Good Reasons Why It Should be Built—Mr. Sherwood Neither For nor Against MR. EDITOR:—Permit me a small space in your valuable paper to say a word about the Yorba reservoir. I regard it as one of the most important improvements ever contemplated by the water company, and one calling for a comparatively small expenditure when we contemplate the advantages gained by it. It will shut off Anaheim night water, thereby not only making a pleasure of irrigation for the stockholder, but giving a much larger revenue to the company. The amount of water now used by Anaheim, if sold at day rates, would net $2000 more to the company per annum. It would do the irrigators that much additional good. This item is a small one, but it would pay the interest on the investment, or nearly so. It would give Anaheim irrigators one-third more water than they now have, with all that increased revenue, and would furnish the additional water so badly needed in the summer months. All the water taken from the river could thus be used in Placentia, Fullerton and Orangethorpe. It would increase their water supply by one-third, which all told would mean many thousand dollars of additional revenue to the company. This improvement would in a very little while pay for itself, besides the untold value to irrigators of furnishing them this additional water. Just think of it for a moment! One-third more water than we now have! Figure what the result would be. There are many other reasons why this reservoir should be built. One is that the old Anaheim flume has for several years past been condemned. It has rotted and worn out. It cost $5000 to build it, and it would cost that much to repair it. It has been permitted to continue in its broken-down and unserviceable condition, solely with the idea of building this reservoir and constructing a ditch from the Anaheim canal above the flume to the reservoir. From this point the ditch will connect with the same canal west of the flume, thereby cutting off a very expensive and wasteful piece of ditch and expending this $5000 in permanent work in line of these improvements. We report progress in cleaning Tuffree reservoir. The dyke and sluice gates are in. Will continue sluicing as soon as water is in canal. The frame for the gate at the north end of pipe above the dam is well under way, and the canal east of Tuffree's reservoir about half cemented. We call your attention to the iron pipe under the dam at Tuffree reservoir, which has settled about four inches. The cut in Tuffree's place below reservoir is completed, and work on dam is progressing. The cement ditch below the reservoir has been broken in several places by the last rain. In regard to the Roerden and Wagner ditch, we recommend that a survey be made and deeds secured before change is made. In the matter of the Kroeger and Allae ditch, we instruct superintendent to open up the old ditch, but as yet no action has been taken. We recommend that request of C. C. Chapman for a gate in his place at Borromeo be granted. That portion of the North Branch ditch referred to in our last report (at McFadden's) has not been repaired. We report favorably on communication of Mr. Holman, and recommend that the ditch be cemented, also an additional 40 rods of same ditch. H. L. SMITH, H. H. HALE, J. C. SHEPPARD. The various recommendations made by the committee were adopted, with exception of Holman ditch and ditch petitioned for by Key, Wilshire and others, which were referred back for further investigation and report at next meeting. The matter of procuring gravel at Corona was referred to Sheppard, with instructions to go up and procure same by Monday morning. Engineer Kellogg said he had inspected 12 carloads of gravel at Corona, and had found only 1¼ cars available for use by the company. However, the fact that even this small proportion was found to be available suggested the fact that probably enough for the use of the company could be secured. W. M. McFadden appeared before the board in reference to the break in North Branch at his place, which the board at its previous meeting, on testimony submitted by Superintendent Woodward to the effect that break was caused by McFadden's interfering with ditch and carelessness, instructed that gentleman to repair. McFadden said the break was caused by the flood five years ago. It had been at that time repaired in an unworkmanlike manner, and had recently broken again. He denied break was result of carelessness or interference with ditch. On motion of Hale, seconded by Bradford, the superintendent was instructed to repair same. McFadden was thereby relieved of all blame for breakage. On motion of Sheppard, seconded by Hale, Kellogg was instructed to construct a sluiceway in Cajon canal to be used as a relief to the newly constructed syphon, the escape to be under the Southern California railway track. Sheppard said there had been an old sluiceway at this point, which the railway company at some time in the distant past had filled in. Kellogg was instructed to write the roadmaster notified him of the com- HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN TWELVE YEARS Not Since February, 1890, Has So Much Rain Fallen as During the Storm Terminating Sunday Morning. An inspection of the rain record in Mr. Dickel's office shows that not since the week beginning the 16th day of February, 1890, has so much rains fallen as during the recent storm beginning February 22nd and continuing up to last Sunday morning, March 2nd. During this period of but little more than a week, 4.62 inches of rain fell—nearly an inch more than had fallen previously during the entire season. Twelve years ago the record for a week was from February 16th to a week thereafter approximately the same. On Thursday morning .30 of an inch fell, bringing up the previously reported total of 6.12 to 6.42. Saturday night, or more properly, Sunday morning, the storm clouds got down to business, and during the early morning hours rain fell in sheets. A precipitation of 1.22 inches was recorded, bringing the total to 7.64. Last year to date, 10.49 inches. The weather cleared off on Monday, revealing a heavy snowfall upon the mountains. The storm has resulted in great benefit to all sorts of farming. Beets have been greatly benefited, as well as grain and hay. With the usual March and April rains, we ought to have one of the best seasons in the history of the county. Off for Arizona A. H. Cargill departed yesterday for Senator Dorsey's mines at Picatcho, Arizona, where he goes to assume the position of general manager of the property. The mines are situated 48 miles above Yuma. They are eight miles north of Mr. Cargill's former mine, the Castle Dome. Speaking of his advent into Arizona, he said: "I landed at Yuma in 1878, from San Francisco, with a solitary fifty-cent piece in my pocket, besides my supplies. I located the Castle Dome, and in 19 months sold out for $300,000." Mr. Cargill received a telegram from Senator Dorsey on Tuesday, summoning him to the mines. He takes with him the best wishes of a host of friends for his future welfare. His family will continue to reside in this city. Voters Should Register The cancellation of the Great Register under the law which requires registration to commence on the first of January in each and every numbered year, makes it unquestionably necessary that every voter should register anew for the State and county elections to be held in November next. As to the approaching city election, which will occur on Monday, April 14, 1902, it is generally held, by those giving the matter attention, that the safest plan will be for all voters to register now. No mistake can be made by so doing; otherwise your vote may be lost. In order to vote at the coming city election, voters not now on the results are apprehended. It has rotted and worn out. It cost $5000 to build it, and it would cost that much to repair it. It has been permitted to continue in its broken-down and unserviceable condition, solely with the idea of building this reservoir and constructing a ditch from the Anaheim canal above the flume to the reservoir. From this point the ditch will connect with the same canal west of the flume, thereby cutting off a very expensive and wasteful piece of ditch and expanding this $5000 in permanent work in line of these improvements. Another point: a legal one; a most important one. Upon this point I consider myself fairly well posted, having been a member of the Litigation committee for upward of two years. This point cannot be discussed here, but it is of vital importance. It furnishes one of the reasons why we have tried so hard to carry this thing through. Every stockholder should rally to support of this proposition. They should uphold the work of the directors. It will do plenty of good, therefore let us all pull together for the good of all. The directors do not enter into anything haphazard, but only after a thorough examination into all of its details. If they make a mistake, they are the losers, and they deserve the blame. This proposition is so familiar to us and I am fully prepared to say Go ahead with this improvement! I have not said nearly all that could be said upon this subject, for lack of time. I remain, Yours, A. S. BRADFORD. FULLERTON, California. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In your last issue I notice an editorial on the matter of the Yorba reservoir which misrepresents my attitude in the matter. shall therefore ask you to print the following in order that my position on this important matter may be clearly understood. I am neither "for" nor "against" it. My attitude is a judicial one. If the scheme is found practicable from an engineering and business standpoint, I shall be for it; otherwise not. When the site was purchased through Mr. Travis, a relative of Mr. Yorba, who has since been boasting on his acute business ability in getting $175 out of the company, there was no evidence whatever in the records of the company relating to the matter except a personal letter from Mr. Kellogg, who was then in Hawaii. There was no record of the location or depth of the borings formerly taken by the Irrigation District, no estimate of the capacity of the reservoir, no statement whether proper material was available for building the dam, nor anything else of value; or if there was it not produced. When I asked that such information be laid before the board, I was considerably informed that if I wanted it I could go hunt for it. Under such circumstances I voted against the purchase of the site. Since that time Mr. Kellogg has returned and in pursuance of a resolution offered by myself, has filed in the records of the company all that is known about On motion of Hale, seconded by Bradford, the superintendent was instructed to repair same. McFadden was thereby relieved of all blame for breakage. On motion of Sheppard, seconded by Hale, Kellogg was instructed to construct a sluiceway in Cajon canal to be used as a relief to the newly constructed syphon, the escape to be under the Southern California railway track. Sheppard said there had been an old sluiceway at this point, which the railway company at some time in the distant past had filled in. Kellogg was instructed to write the roadmaster notifying him of the company's intention of opening it up, and informing him of its desire that it (the railway) keep same open under its track in future. Kellogg was instructed to set grade stakes in upper ditch, which will be cleaned now that water has been turned out. Communication of L. J. Stovall, asking for a bridge in front of his place on Orangethorpe avenue, and offering to furnish all the material. Referred to superintendent. Communication of J. H. Brunworth, asking company to remove ditch running through his place on corner of Sycamore and East streets. Referred to Ditch Committee. Petition of F. W. Fleishman, asking construction of cement ditch 700 feet on east and south lines of his tract northwest of town. To Ditch Committee. Communication of H. W. Bordell of Riverside offering to sell 500 inches of water at Rincon. Referred to Litigation Committee. W. B. Parrett was chosen assistant zanjero on Northside at a salary of $65 a month. A telephone was ordered in his residence, and that in residence of ex-Superintendent Woodward was ordered withdrawn. Secretary instructed to notify Woodward to furnish Porter complete inventory of tools and implements on hand. President and Secretary authorized to borrow $5000 on demand note to meet deficit. Crowther reported Citizens' bank would lend company the amount. Secretary Krick reported he had re-ter under the law which requires registration to commence on the first of January in each and every numbered year, makes it unquestionably necessary that every voter should register anew for the State and county elections to be held in November next.

No mistake can be made by so doing: otherwise your vote may be lost. In order to vote at the coming city election, voters not now on the Register should register 30 days previous to April 14th, or not later than March 15th. Collar Bone Broken Mr. Bertram of West Anaheim was up in the haymow, on Sunday morning before breakfast, throwing down some hay wherewith to feed the cow. He lost his balance and fell to the floor, a distance of ten feet, sustaining a double fracture of the collar bone. Dr. Bickford was called and reduced the fracture.

POSIUM ON THE RESERVOIR WORD GIVES GOOD REASONS WHY WOULD BE BUILT—Mr. Sherwood Neither For nor Against MOTOR:—Permit me a small copy of your valuable paper to say about the Yorba reservoir. I was one of the most important events ever contemplated by company, and one calling for actively small expenditure to contemplate the advantages it. It will shut off Anaheim water, thereby not only making of irrigation for the stock-that giving a much larger revenue company. The amount of water used by Anaheim, if sold at would net $2000 more to the river annum. It would do the much additional good, is a small one, but it would interest on the investment, or it would give Anaheim irrone-t third more water than have, with all that increased and would furnish the addition so badly needed in the months. Water taken from the river is be used in Placentia, Ful- Orangethorpe. It would their water supply by one-half told would mean many dollars of additional revenue company. This improvement is very little while pay for it the untold value to irri-furnishing them this addi-er. Kick of it for a moment! One-eater water than we now have! That result would be. There many other reasons why reservoir should be built. One old Anaheim flume has for years past been condemned. It and worn out. It cost $5000 and it would cost that much. It has been permitted to join its broken-down and un-able condition, solely with the holding this reservoir and conna-ditch from the Anaheim lake the flume to the reservoir. To point the ditch will connect some canal west of the flume, cutting off a very expensive full piece of ditch and exhibits $5000 in permanent work these improvements. PRESENT LOCATION, and there are large deposits of gravel at this elevation all along the river. We know that the hills at the Kraemer reservoir site are gravel not more than a mile away, and also at Flume 8 on the other side. Where is this gravel deposit at the Yorba site, and how thick is it? or did the ancient river dodge it? There is one other thing about which some people are getting a wrong impression, and that is that the reservoir will entirely do away with Anaheim night water. The Anaheim ditch will enter the reservoir at about the 18 foot level. When the reservoir is filled to this level, which would not be later than December 1, the Anaheim people would have to take their water from the river as they do now, if the ditches are run to their full capacity, in order that the reservoir might be filled from the excess in the Cajon canal, and this would continue until the reservoir was full or nearly so, which might extend even to the time when the storage water would be drawn on. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance of the stockholders at the meeting on March 8th, and that all these matters may be considered in an unprejudiced manner. Truly yours, G. W. SHERWOOD. CONTEMPTIBLE ACT ON LIPPINCOTT'S PART Seeking to Commit Government to the Impoverishment of Thousands of People Elsewhere in this number of the Post is printed an article from the Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey, announcing the early publication of the "Wells of Southern California" (numbers 59 and 60), by J. B. Lippincott and giving a synopsis of the contents. From this synopsis it may be seen that Mr. Lippincott has embodied in his report to the Government some of the vagaries which he was hired by Newberry to establish relative to the Santa Ana river for water-grabbing purposes. For instance, Mr. Lippincott's discussion of the San Bernardino Valley, the great interior basin between San Bernardino and Rincon, would lead his readers to believe that said valley is underlaid with at least 300 feet of water-bearing gravel, one-third of which space is filled with water—equivalent to a lake 100 feet deep under the entire valley; whereas borings in different homogeneous and, therefore, 1000 acres in the Rincon basin will not produce the quantity of water figured out for it. Iwe are correctly informed, Mr. Newberry found no water in a well bored past season 200 feet deep near the river in that basin, after passing through the flood-sand which is satu-rated from the stream. Some gravel steaks or pockets in other places seem toyield an abundant supply for small pumping plants while other wells prove tobe dry holes, like Newberry's. Besides, much of this subsurface water belongs to the river. If pumped out, th surface water will drop down into its place to be pumped out in turn. If, however, the river be diverted, and carried around to produce power, as suggested by Mr. Lippincott, then a part of the present supply of water to be pumped out of that basin would be cutoff. The relation of the river to the underground supply of water is well understood by some of the farmers. One man said the other day: "My well was originally 16 feet to water and now it is 60 feet. The taking out of the water of the river for irrigation and the pumping out of the underground water are drying up the country." Anlthe funny thing about the "return seage from irrigation," which we hear so much about, is that it does not seem to return to any of these wells below the irrigated districts! Another feature of this report of Mr. Lippincott to the government, which makes it misleading and which accounts for the distorted facts and biased conclusions noted above, is the introduction of his private employer's hair-brained ideas and preposterous plans for water development. J. R. Newberry employed Mr. Lippincott with others to help him establish and maintain certain wild theories, whereby he (Newberry) hoped to get possession and control of the water of the Santa Ana river, regardless of the fact that every drop of that water has been utilized during the irrigating season for the past thirty years to support thousands of people in the valley below. As is generally the case, Lippincott, in trying to prove these theories for Newberry, has convinced himself of their correctness and, therefore, unfitted himself for unbiased investigation on behalf of the government. Besides, it seems in a certain sense to commit the government to one side of a controversy to have its employee take that side. This is particularly objectionable when PERSONAL MENTION W. S. Watson of El Modena wa-town yesterday on a brief business mation. Judge Richard Egan of San Jose spent Saturday evening in town with friends. Mrs. Charles S.

GAZETTE: In your last issue in editorial on the matter of reservoir which misreprent attitude in the matter. Before ask you to print the foliorder that my position on constant matter may be clearly set. I am neither "for" the nor "against" it. My attidicial one. If the scheme is practicable from an engineering less standpoint, I shall be for wise not. The site was purchased Mr. Travis, a relative of Mr. who has since been boasting of business ability in getting the company, there was no whatever in the records of any relating to the matter ex-ternal letter from Mr. Keiwas then in Hawaii. There record of the location or depth springs formerly taken by the District, no estimate of quantity of the reservoir, no state-theater proper material was for building the dam, nor else of value; or if there was not produced. When I asked information be laid before I was considerately informed granted it could go hunt for it, such circumstances I voted the purchase of the site. Since Mr. Kellogg has returned, assurance of a resolution offered has filed in the records of many all that is known about them. In the first place, neither Mr. Lippincott nor any other man knows that there is a regular loss of 800 inches. Measurements for different years by equally competent engineers and with better appliances show that there is a loss some years and a gain others, according to the amount of saturation in synopsis of the contents. From this synopsis it may be seen that Mr. Lippincott has embodied in his report to the Government some of the vagaries which he was hired by Newberry to establish relative to the Santa Ana river for water-grabbing purposes. For instance, Mr. Lippincott's discussion of the San Bernardino Valley, the great interior basin between San Bernardino and Rincon, would lead his readers to believe that said valley is underlaid with at least 300 feet of water-bearing gravel, one-third of which space is filled with water—equivalent to a lake 100 feet deep under the entire valley; whereas borings in different parts of the valley disclose very diverse conditions. In some places, in fact, no water at all has been found in the deep well drilled for oil after passing through the flood sands deposited to a depth of twelve to fifteen feet in the river bed. Again, he claims that this vast underground storage reservoir has been charged with flood waters through a long cycle of years; hence nearly three times more water flows out of the basin than flows into it from the mountains. There is nothing remarkable in the fact that a stream increases in volume from source to mouth—that is the usual order, so long as the water cannot sink away into the soil forming the basin of the stream; such increase, however, dose not come from the effervescing of water stored for a long cycle of years, but from the annual rainfall. The average annual rainfall in this territory, where the increase in the stream is noted, amounts to nearly 15 inches, or 450,400 acre feet of water within the valley below the mountains. Admitting, for the sake of the argument, that there is such a vast underground storage reservoir filled through a long cycle of years (which we have already discredited to a certain extent by reference to borings), the most economical service that such reservoir could render the present and future irrigators from that stream would be the maintaining of the water plane, so that the portion of the annual rainfall, which settles into the soil of the basin, would not sink below the seepage plane into the river. The moment that water plane is lowered beneath the natural drainage into the river, go down to fill the vacuum, but the water in the river supplied by the mountain streams will also be drawn aside into the same vacuum. Then again Mr. Lippincott claims there is a loss of 800 miners' inches between Rincon and our division gate, and that from 1500 to 2000 inches could be developed by lowering the water plane of 1000 acres in the Rincon basin 21 feet. He, therefore, recommends diverting the river into a conduit at Auburndale bridge to create a water power to pump out said 21 feet. In the first place, neither Mr. Lippincott nor any other man knows that there is a regular loss of 800 inches.

Again, he claims that this vast underground storage reservoir has been charged with flood waters through a long cycle of years; hence nearly three times more water flows out ofthe basin than flows into it fromthe mountains. There is nothing remarkable inthe fact thata stream increases involumefromsourcetomouth—thatisusualorder,solongasthewatercannotsinkawayintothesoilformingthebasinofthestream;suchincrease,however,dosenotcomefromtheeffervescingofwaterstoredforalongcycleofyears,bbutfromtheannualrainfall.Theaverageannualrainfallinhisterritory,theincreaseinthestreamisnotedamountsto nearly15inches.or450400acrefeetofwaterwithinthevalleybelowthemountains.

A pure, true leavener. In the first place, neither Mr. Lippincott nor any other man knows that there is a regular loss of 800 inches. Measurements for different years by equally competent engineers and with better appliances show that there is a loss some years and a gain others, according to the amount of saturation in that portion of the basin from the winter rains. If the sand and gravel along the channel and the soil adjacent have received little moisture from the clouds, as in 1898, when Lippincott measured the surface flow, they will absorb by capillary attraction, as well as by saturation, the water from the river like a dry sponge; but if, on the other hand, these soils have been well filled from the preceding winter rains, they will add to the stream, instead of taking from it, by surrendering through gravitation the excess of water, which thus naturally oozes into the channel between the points of measurement.
