ARBITRARY RULING SENDS MEN OUT OF HALL Water Stockholders Invited to Listen to Argument Concerning Reservoir, but Have no Means of Expressing an Opinion. The joint meeting of directors and stockholders in the water company on Saturday afternoon, called for the purpose of discussing the propriety of constructing the Yorba reservoir, was a farce. Called at the suggestion of Mr. Sherwood, president of the company, for the avowed purpose of discussing jointly the facts for or against the enterprise, he was the first to show the meeting to be a farce by declaring out of order a resolution offered by Mr. Rogers that it be the sense of the meeting that the directors be instructed to proceed with its construction. Subsequently a resolution offered by Mr. Porter, similar in all respects to that presented by Mr. Rogers, was unanimously adopted. If the meeting was called with a view, as has been stated, to delay work on the reservoir, or of finding some means whereby its usefulness might be attacked, it was a failure, for there was not a man in the hall but was outspoken in its favor. The single exception seemed to be, astonishing as it may seem, the president of the company! Engineer Kellogg made a magnificent presentation of the facts in the case. He had placed upon the wall several drawings of the reservoir, showing its various features, including its area, formation of soil on its sides and bottom, depth of borings to show its imperviousness to seepage, character and cost of the dam, as well as other features, and spoke for two hours to a room full of stockholders, who manifested the keenest interest in his discourse. He was asked many questions, all of which he answered to the satisfaction of all. He pronounced the site one of the most advantageous in the country, and said that, had the reservoir been constructed the past season, the amount of water brought down in the Cajon ditch, over and above the supply used by irrigators, would have filled it twice over, and that the volume of water in the river to which the company is entitled, and which has been permitted to flow to waste owing to the company's inability to take it up (because of repairs and improvements to one of the main upper ditches), would have filled it on the other side of the river, would have filled the reservoir five times over. Sherwood—What proportion of the reservoir could be filled by the Anaheim ditch? Kellogg—The Anaheim ditch would enter the reservoir at the 18-foot level. It would probably fill about one-sixth of it. Sherwood—Then the Anaheim ditch would be practically useless as a means of supply? Kellogg—Except in early part of the season. Night water could be run into it. The reservoir would not necessarily do away with night irrigation on the Southside. The borings showing the excellent character of the soil for reservoir purposes were gone into minutely by Kellogg. There was no underground stream of the river's ancient course underlying it, he said. There was nothing but hardpan, blue clay and a proportion of gravel which he considered advantageous. The borings had been made by D. J. Sorenson. The site had been passed upon by J. D. Schuyler, who complimented Sorenson upon the thoroughness of his work. Schuyler said the site was one of the most available he ever saw, and that the work of Sorenson was the most complete of the kind ever coming under his observation. Kellogg estimated cost of dam, together with proper waste way and affluent chamber, at $20,000. The very best of material for construction of the dam was not over 400 feet away. In answer to a question whether damage would result in event of a break, he said there would be little property loss and no lives sacrificed. There were no houses near, and so far as the land was concerned it would be benefited by having the material of the dam washed upon it, for it is of a very inferior quality of soil. If properly constructed there need be no danger of the dam breaking. There are many fills on the Cajon ditch that are within 12 feet of the height of the proposed dam. They have stood for years without any sign of a break, and were not constructed with the stability proposed in the dam. Some of them have had water to run over them in times of freshets. The dam could be built in 90 days, or if a sufficient number of laborers be employed upon it the time could be reduced to 30 days. Kellogg's talk upon the subject lasted until after 5 o'clock. Mr. Rogers arose at its conclusion and offered the following resolution: Resolved That the sense of the stock-justifying the work, yet there were other matters requiring the company's attention. The company was not taking all the water in the river to which it was entitled, and this might operate disadvantageously in the law suit now pending against it. The directors should enlarge the main ditch and bring the water down. They should be careful and see they made no mistake about the reservoir. He favored a $5 or a $10 assessment, if need be, to enlarge the Cajon canal and bring down water in the river which we are entitled to. Kellogg said the reservoir furnished a key to this surplus water in the river. If it had been constructed, that water would have been running into it, and thus be saved to irrigators. The discussion lagged and lost its interest. There were scarcely a dozen stockholders in the hall. Some one moved to adjourn and the fare was over. Down stairs a score or more indignant shareholders were holding a session on Sherwood. "If that man didn't want us stockholders there, what in blazes did he call us together for?" said one. "He says he is neither for nor against the reservoir, but I believe his actions today show clearly that he is opposed to it." "This meeting is all buncombe. It was called in the hope that some one would get up and object to the reservoir, but you did not hear anyone doing it, did you? The fact is Sherwood is one of the very few people who oppose it. The irrigators demand this reservoir shall be built, and it ought to be built at once." SMALLPOX PATIENT IS DOING WELL Robinson of Clair is Getting Well—a General Vaccination Order Dr. Bickford reports the smallpox situation at Clair well in hand. The patient, Robinson, continues to improve, and no doubt is felt as to his recovery. Four of the little children of the family are down with vaccine fever, having been vaccinated. Although exposed to contagion, it is thought no ill effects will be experienced by them. Reports of other cases here and there are, Dr. Bickford says, without foundation. Robinson came home from San Bernardino the evening of Fed. 24th. He complained of being ill, saying he had a headache, and was feverish He was asked many questions, all of which he answered to the satisfaction of all. He pronounced the site one of the most advantageous in the country, and said that, had the reservoir been constructed the past season, the amount of water brought down in the Cajon ditch, over and above the supply used by irrigators, would have filled it twice over, and that the volume of water in the river to which the company is entitled, and which has been permitted to flow to waste owing to the company's inability to take it up (because of repairs and improvements to one of the main upper ditches), would have filled it five times over. The cost of water he figured at $84 a miner's inch. At Corona irrigators have paid $1500 a miner's inch, Redlands $1000, Ontario $1,000, Pomona $1000, Riverside $500. Yet in spite of this splendid array of facts and figures, Mr. Sheppard, who is said to share Sherwood's antipathy to the work, said he favored constructing the reservoir when sufficient data was before the company to justify the directors in going ahead with the work! When Sherwood arbitrarily declared Rogers' resolution out of order, that gentleman tore it up and left the hall. Many other stockholders seeing the utter uselessness of the meeting; seeing that nothing could come of it, and that every stockholder present favored the reservoir, also left the room, some of them saying they could not understand why the meeting had been called. As showing Sherwood's position upon the question, we quote from his article in reference thereto, published in our columns last week: "I am neither 'for' the reservoir, 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. "The stockholders have been invited to be present not that some way might be devised to defeat the project, but that they might become informed in regard to the matter and assist the board by their advice and co-operation." Yet he arbitrarily declared to be out of order a resolution stating the sense of the meeting to be that the directors be instructed to go ahead and build the reservoir! "What the devil did he ask us up here for if he's going to muzzle the discussion and prevent favorable action on this matter?" asked one indignant stockholder, as he left the hall. No little indignation resulted at Sherwood's act, and on all sides could be heard expressions of the sentiment that stockholders insist upon the construction of the reservoir. The stockholders were slow in getting together, and it was 2:30 before the meeting was called to order. At 2 o'clock not a dozen stockholders were in the hall. Some of them inquired whether the meeting would be a "frost." One by one they came in until the meeting room was well filled. Sherwood rapped those present to order and stated the object of the meeting. He said discussion of the reservoir would be taken up under separate heads, as follows: (1) General description and location; (2) borings; (3) reports upon it by engineers; (4) dam. There are many fills on the Cajon ditch that are within 12 feet of the height of the proposed dam. They have stood for years without any sign of a break, and were not constructed with the stability proposed in the dam. Some of them have had water to run over them in times of freshets. The dam could be built in 90 days, or if a sufficient number of laborers be employed upon it the time could be reduced to 30 days. Kellogg's talk upon the subject lasted until after 5 o'clock. Mr. Rogers arose at its conclusion and offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the sense of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company is that the Board of Directors of this company be directed to proceed at the earliest practicable time in the construction of the reservoir now under consideration, and that its completion be as early as finances can be arranged for its construction. In presenting the resolution Rogers said he did so by reason of the fact that the question of water storage had impressed itself strongly upon the stockholders of the company. The shortage of water during the summer season of the year, especially during the years of drought, had resulted in a demand upon the part of irrigators for more water. He believed the plans so presented to be feasible and practicable, and he thought the time was ripe for action. Sherwood—I declare the resolution out of order. This is a special meeting of the directors, not of stockholders. I presume the board will take under consideration the facts presented here today. Rogers (in surprise, tearing up the resolution and throwing the pieces upon the floor)—I thought this was a meeting of the directors and stockholders, called to consider this subject. Sherwood—It is a special meeting of directors. We thought it well to invite stockholders here, so that they might be informed upon the subject, but no resolution from them instructing the board what to do will be considered by the chair. Rogers put on his hat and indignantly strode out of the hall. While Sherwood was talking, a number of stockholders arose and left the meeting. Frank Porter arose and tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters. He said he did not believe there was a man in the room who opposed construction of the reservoir—not one. He thought, however, the resolution was a bit too strong, as instructing the board to go ahead and build the reservoir. If it embodied the words that it was expressive of the sense of the meeting, and that after mature consideration of plans presented the board thought it wise and proper to go ahead and build it, he would support it. By this time Rogers was down the stairs. Stockholders kept leaving the room one by one. Mr. Hale said in a deep, sepulchral voice that it was his opinion the resolution was out of order. E. F. Kellogg arose and excitedly said all the resolution meant was that it was intended to express the sense of the stockholders assembled that they Some strenuous testimony at the Preliminary Hearing of a Charge of Assault to Kill. The preliminary hearing of Prof. Carpenter, principal of the Fullerton high school, charged with raising a shotgun at Ed Kraemer and threatening to shoot him, came up before Judge Shanley on Saturday morning. District Attorney Williams appeared for the people. E. E. Keech was for the defendant. Keech rode over from Santa Ana on his bicycle, which he seemed to have difficulty in propelling. He wore a heavy overcoat, buttoned up to the neck, and looked like he was cold. In court both lawyers wore their overcoats. Williams had his on; Keech contented himself with throwing his over his shoulders and holding it in place with first one hand and then the other. Some strenuous evidence was adduced. The story of the difficulty is pretty well known to our readers, both sides of the case haying been published in these columns. The affair happened on February 22nd. Carpenter was out hunting rabbits. He came up to Krae- The stockholders were slow in getting together, and it was 2:30 before the meeting was called to order. At 2 o'clock not a dozen stockholders were in the hall. Some of them inquired whether the meeting would be a "frost." One by one they came in until the meeting room was well filled. Sherwood rapped those present to order and stated the object of the meeting. He said discussion of the reservoir would be taken up under separate heads, as follows: (1) General description and location; (2) borings; (3) reports upon it by engineers; (4) dam, cross-section, method of operation and cost. Kellogg explained these matters by aid of maps and drawings tacked upon the wall. The site, he said, was half of a mile west and fourth of a mile north of Yorba station. It was 7 miles north and 3 miles east of this city. Its construction was designed to supply irrigators at Anaheim, but its location was high enough to permit of water being carried to a point north of Fullerton. It could also be made to supply the entire Orangethorpe section, and in Placentia would reach as far north as Mr. Chapman's ranch. The reservoir was half of a mile in length. It covered 71 acres. The company owns 81 acres at the site, the land going 4 feet above high water line. Its capacity is 51,392-762 cubic feet. Deducting 20 per cent for evaporation and seepage, it would furnish a stream of 793 miners inches twelve hours a day for 60 days. He had been keeping measurements upon water in the river and in the ditches for a year, and said that water which could have been brought down in the Cajon ditch, at its present capacity, in addition to the amount of water used, and which water was the property of the stockholders present, would during the present season have filled the reservoir twice over. Water which had been permitted to flow to waste in the river because of inability of Cajon ditch to take it up, on account of improvements in Horseshoe Bend, and which water was taken up by the Santa Ana Company, and used for irrigation embodied the words that it was expressive of the sense of the meeting, and that mature consideration of plans presented the board thought it wise and proper to go ahead and build it, he would support it. By this time Rogers was down the stairs. Stockholders kept leaving the room one by one. Mr. Hale said in a deep, sepulchral voice that it was his opinion the resolution was out of order. E. F. Kellogg arose and excitedly said all the resolution meant was that it was intended to express the sense of the stockholders assembled that the reservoir be built. S. K. Holman—That is all we pretend to say. Engineer Kellogg resumed his discussion of the reservoir after order was restored. He said the amount of money accruing to the company by sales of water from the reservoir would pay interest at 5 percent on $91,000. It would cost only $20,000 for the dam and $17,-000 for connecting ditches. He figured the water in the reservoir would cost the company $84 a miner's inch. This was the cheapest water he ever heard of. Corona is glad to pay $1500 an inch for water. Redlands pays $1000, Ontario $1000, Pomona $1000, Riverside $500, and the La Habra people the other day bought 200 inches at $350 per inch, and pay $150 to get it upon their land, or a total of $500 per inch. He had talked with many engineers in Southern California about this price of water, and all have said it is the cheapest in the country. Frank Porter arose and offered a resolution that it be the sense of the stockholders present that they favor construction of the reservoir, leaving it to the Board of Directors to begin work as soon as practicable, and as soon as they deem themselves justified in expanding the money necessary to construct it. Sherwood said that while the resolution was a little out of order, nevertheless he would put it. It was carried unanimously. Sheppard arose and said that while he favored building the reservoir when he directors have sufficient data before them He wore a heavy overcoat, buttoned up to the neck, and looked like he was cold. In court both lawyers wore their overcoats. Williams had his on; Keech contented himself with throwing his over his shoulders and holding it in place with first one hand and then the other. Some strenuous evidence was adduced. The story of the difficulty is pretty well known to our readers, both sides of the case having been published in these columns. The affair happened on February 22nd. Carpenter was out hunting rabbits. He came up to Kraemer on the line dividing the properties about which they had had trouble, and spoke to him pleasantly. Up to this point all stories agree, but here the evidence began to vary. Kraemer swore that after ordering Carpenter off the place, the latter leveled his gun at him and said: "I'll shoot you." Kraemer's little boy and his hired man swore to the same effect. Carpenter took the stand and testified that when he spoke to Kraemer the latter seized his shovel and advancing in a threatening manner said: "I'll kill you." "I guess not," said Carpenter, stepping backward and bringing his gun to what he said was near a "carry." Kraemer seized the gun by the barrel. Carpenter wrenched it from him, turned on his heels and walked away. District Attorney Williams thought there was not sufficient evidence to convict, and asked that the case be dismissed.

At the meeting of City Trustees on Tuesday evening the matter of raising the liquor licenses came up for discussion, under the head of unfinished business. Trustee Schneider suggested that the draft of ordinance now in City Attorney's hands be amended in several particulars. First, he desired that the penalty for selling liquor without a license be raised from $10 to the amount of the proposed license, which some members of the board favor raising to $50 per month. He also offered various suggestions relating to wholesalers, and favored making the limit of such dealers a quart instead of a gallon, as under the present ordinance. Trustee Helmsen said he wished every one holding a government retail license could be compelled to pay city license. These fellows, he said, did not trifle with the government, but they pay no attention to city ordinances. He wanted the practice stopped. Attorney Melrose pointed out the law of the case, and held that because a man held a government retail license, that of itself would not be considered prima facie evidence that he sold liquor. Presumably the man did so, but to hold that he did was establishing a rule of evidence which he thought would not be recognized by the courts. The city must prove such men sold liquor before a conviction could be had. Schneider said some one had suggested that half the fine collected be turned over to the informer. He therefore favored including such provision in the ordinance. The board discussed the matter of saloon licenses in Los Angeles, Santa Ana and other towns where saloons are required to close at midnight or before, and on Sunday, and where high licenses are exacted. If Trustee Dickel returns from Germany in time for the next meeting probably the ordinance will be introduced and passed before the new board takes its seat. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for February: For water, $226; lights, $411.20; licenses, $176.50; total, $813.70; 5 per cent commission paid Marshal for collecting, $40.68; deposited in treasury, $773.02. Delinquents collected: Water, $35.70; people be 12¢ cents per 1000 gallons. Carried by the full vote of the board. Swengali Helmsen, who has the hypnotic eye, reported that contract for city sprinkling, signed by him with Fossek, differed from previous contract in that it provided for half a day's sprinkling on Sunday, whereas the old contract said nothing about Sunday sprinkling. The streets are dusty on the Sabbath day sometimes, the same as week days, and while there was nothing in the terms of the contract whereby Sunday sprinkling was provided for, the hypnotic eye did the business, and we shall have no more dust on the Sabbath day. Schneider reported that Mr. Korn had complained of storm water standing in front of his property on Broadway. Fay said the proper thing to do was to require the Southern Pacific to place a culvert under its track. The matter was referred to Public Improvements Committee with power to act. Cletk Merritt was ordered to procure election supplies. He was also granted permission to erect a hitching-post in front of his residence on Philadelphia street. The board discussed oiling streets, and referred to the Committee on Public Improvements the matter of selecting streets for such purpose. West Broadway and West Center streets will probably be the thoroughfares treated. The streets will be graded and trimmed up before oiling. The county will continue the oiling beyond the city limits. Bills to the amount of $954.31 were audited and ordered paid. Adjourned. ENORMOUS TRADE UNDIMINISHED R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for February in Southern California. Although February, the shortest month of the year, was handicapped by the most severe storms of the winter, nevertheless industrial and trade results were most satisfactory throughout the country and preparation for an enormous spring trade continues undiminished. In our immediate district the month brought generous rainfall, practically assuring a fair crop of grain to this end of the State. General feeling of confidence is restored and plowing and seeding is being done by belated farmers, whose faith was not strong. This seeding is sure to make good growth, if March brings seasonable rainfall, which PERSONAL MENTION Joseph Hatfield has been appointed school census marshal. F. M.

Trustee Weisel of the Finance Committee reported examination of reports of city officials, finding same correct, and auditing various claims against the city. Trustee Weisel of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that the new street arcs had all been placed in position; that water connections had been made at Rev. Pratt's two new houses and at Click's. The latter required 150 feet of two-inch pipe and 160 feet of one-inch. Trustee Helmsen—Why 160 feet of one-inch pipe? The board has a rule that all water connections be two inches, instead of one inch. The matter went over without further discussion. Ordinance No. 139, calling a municipal election April 14th for election of city officials, was read a second time and passed. Polls at City Hall, open at 6 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. Salary of members of election board, $3 each. Trustee Fay favored placing upon the ballots the question whether the people wished high or low license. No action was taken, the board being of the opinion that would be the principal issue of the campaign anyhow.

Trustee Fay was of opinion engineer at power-house should pay the claim. After discussion the claim was referred back to engineer to have same o.k.'ed. Communication from T. A. Darling in reference to water rate made the Southern Pacific company. Inasmuch as he had been assured before pipe was laid to Loara station that rate would be 12 cents per 1000 gallons, and city In our immediate district the month brought generous rainfall, practically assuring a fair crop of grain to this end of the State. General feeling of confidence is restored and plowing and seeding is being done by belated farmers, whose faith was not strong. This seedling is sure to make good growth, if March brings seasonable rainfall, which is quite likely. Soil is in fine condition and growers of beans, beets and corn are making preparations for large crops. Orchards and vineyards look well. Early varieties of deciduous fruit are in bloom and the outlook for heavy crops was never better at this season. Citrus shipments were retarded by weather, but are now going briskly It is estimated about 7,000 carloads still remain in the State. Eastern demand is improving and prices good for choice fruit. Lemons are in poor demand, not active, about 600 carloads have been shipped since November lst. Summer crop reported light. The bulk of the celery crop has been shipped, about 300 carloads remaining in the fields. Prices are satisfactory and are expected to advance to close of season, about the middle of March. Beet planting has begun and will be on more generous scale than expected a month ago. It is estimated that for the Chino factory alone, acreage will reach 10,000. The rain changed materially the hay situation. It is now certain that prices will not go higher, and may be shaded before the new crop comes in. Olive growers are busy picking product or making oil. The organization is struggling with the market question. A good demand is reported for nearly all lines of cured fruits. There are very few lots of any kind now in grower's hands. About 100 carloads have been shipped out of Southern California during January and February. Jobber's stocks are light; Standard grades are about cleaned up and prices are firm and advancing. Little change in raisin situation. Packer's controversy with association has not been settled and it is difficult to tell just what new deal is forthcoming. However, it does not affect the trade. There are few raisins to offer aside from seeded. The carry-over stock is in the hands of large packers and dealers and prospects for crop of 1902 are excellent. Locally business in most lines is excellent. Prospects for bountieous crops, projects-for-interurban railroads, the appropriation for dredging of inner harbor and the greatest year for tourist travel on record combine to give prevailing feeling of confidence and make things hum. The clearance for the past month is more than $4,000,000 in excess of February, 1901. The building returns show that the total valuation of permits for the first week of March almost Ava Daily Teacher Enrolled ance CENTRAL SCHOOL Prof. Little.....33 Prof. Rector.....23 Miss Wallop.....37 Miss Mosseman.....47 Miss Bowland.....48 Miss Burton.....51 WEST ANAHEIM Miss Loveill.....24 Totals.....35 Miss Nemetz.....39 KATELLA.
