KELLOGG SHARPLY CRITIZES BERLIN'S CEMENT DITCH But Sheppard Says It's a Far Superior Job to Damron's in the Bend—Hale Says Fire Damron, Inspector and All. The water board had a nice warm session on Saturday afternoon. Engineer Kellogg and Contractor Damron, who was at last reports thought to be doing a bit of cement ditch work in Horseshoe Bend, came in for a roasting at the hands of Hale, Sheppard and Sherwood, which might have been interesting if Kellogg had been present. That gentleman did not come in until well along toward 4 o'clock, having missed the morning train from Los Angeles, and the afternoon train being late. When the meeting was called to order Hale was observed studying intently a map of something or other lying upon the table before him. The more he looked at the thing, apparently, the madder he got. Alongside of him lay a typewritten letter. Occasionally he laid down the diagram and picked up the letter. Finally he passed both around to the different members of the board, apparently to prove his right to be hot under the collar. The letter was one from Engineer Kellogg, and was to the following effect: SANTA ANA, March 19, 1902. H. H. HALE, Chairman of the Ditch Committee—Dear Sir: I send here with a sketch of the ground at the location for proposed culvert at flume 2, showing profile at the bottom of the canyon, as I believe that it is a mistake to put it in. I was there on Monday and ran the levels, and found that the culvert would come entirely below the bottom of the canyon. I intended to write to the Ditch Committee then, but got Mr. Porter to see you instead, but as I was up there today and they told me you wanted it to go in anyhow, I deem it my duty to show you how the ground lays, as I am positive that it will be buried the first time there is any flow down the canyon. That is the way culverts always acted on that canal where they were below the natural grade plane of the country. The debris carried is so heavy that it will first fill up the 180 feet of level ditch and then the culvert. When the Cajon canal was first built they put in culverts altogether, but they were found impracticable. If you thought the gate unsafe, a chute would be the most practicable. As you asked me to keep some overnight even the work being done by Barknow it all—some people did—but he regarded the cement used by Damron as being "green" and of inferior quality. Kellogg said Damron was doing a first-class job. As for Gardiner, the inspector, he regarded him as being one of the best inspectors in Southern California. He had implicit confidence in his integrity. On the occasion of his visit to the work he found Gardiner inspecting the ditch and doing the tamping according to instructions. He cut into the ditch in several places and found the cement work had been done in workmanlike manner, according to specifications. “This matter is of far greater importance to me than any member of this board. Of course you represent the company, but my reputation is my stock in trade. If I thought Damron was doing a poor job, or that Gardiner was not doing honest work in his inspecting, I would not permit such work to continue for an instant. “Gardiner, moreover, does not care to continue the work at $3.50 per day. He gets $4 from other companies, and has two offers now at those figures.” Kellogg did not say he would continue him at these figures, but that is what he is doing. Continuing, he said Berlin’s work was not so good as that of Damron. Gravel used by Berlin was the poorest he ever saw. It would form no bond with cement, and would not be a lasting piece of ditch. Damron’s would. Damron had been delayed with his work on account of his inability to get good men and by the rain, but was making good progress now, and would finish probably within a few days. Sheppard said the Ditch Committee, under whose supervision Berlin was doing his work, would assume all responsibility for its character. Crowther, Bradford, Smith and Zeyn were interested listeners to the discussion while it lasted. They took no part in it. A committee consisting of Crowther, Zeyn and Sherwood were appointed to go to Los Angeles on Monday and inspect a safe offered for sale at a price of $290. Sheppard telephoned W. J. Hole at La Habra asking final terms from Stearns Ranchos company on twenty acres at the Tuffree reservoir site. Mr. Hole replied the company's terms were $50 per acre and privilege of watNUMEROUS CANDIDATES OUT FOR CITY OFFICE Five for City Trustee and Three for Municipal—City Clerk Merritt Will Have No Opposition. The City Trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening received and filed the following certificates of nomination for city offices to be voted upon at the municipal election April 14th. For City Trustee (three to elect)—O. Rust, Wm. Berdrow, Louis Fletcher, A. W. Swain, Chas. A. Boege. For City Clerk—E. B. Merritt. For Treasurer—H. Cahen. For Marshal—John Brunworth, N. L. Steadman, H. Kuebler. The names of the respective candidates dates were ordered placed upon the official ballot. Clerk Merritt produced a copy of the same, showing the arrangement of names and officers to be voted for. Trustee Weisel of the Finance Committee reported the auditing of various demands against the city, including one submitted by D. Redit in the amount of $10, which had been hung up for some months past. The work was done upon the installing of the new city boiler, and consisted in changing the water gauge from left to right and also for providing guy rods and other materials necessary to the proper placing of the boiler. The contractor refused to pay the demand, claiming there was nothing in the contract providing therefor. The city for a time took a similar view of the case, claiming the contractor should pay. After discussing the matter during several meetings, the board voted to allow the demand, the work having been done, it appeared, on authority of city engineer at power-house. Trustee Schneider of the Committee on Public Improvements reported water connections made for several residences. Fire hydrants had arrived and would be placed in position immediately. The Ordinance Committee reported that the draft of the liquor license or dinance still hung fire. No action was taken. Application for change in location of ditch in Santa Fe tract was denied. Complaint of F. A. Korn relative to storm water accumulating at the side of his property on Broadway. No action taken. write to the Ditch Committee then, but got Mr. Porter to see you instead, but as I was up there today and they told me you wanted it to go in anyhow, I deem it my duty to show you how the ground lays, as I am positive that it will be buried the first time there is any flow down the canyon. That is the way culvert always acted on that canal where they were below the natural grade plane of the country. The debris carried is so heavy that it will first fill up the 180 feet of level ditch and then the culvert. When the Cajon canal was first built they put in culverts altogether, but they were found impracticable. If you thought the gate unsafe, a chute would be the most practicable. As you asked me to keep some oversight over the work being done by Berlin, I was up there today, and while I am not finding any particular fault with the manner of doing the work, although it could be done better, I do think the gravel, if it could be so termed, contains a great amount of dirt and too much fine sand. I never saw such stuff put in a ditch before, and don't see how it can ever form a stone, as it is a well-established fact that cement never forms any bond with dirt. Of course it can be made water-tight at first, and will look smooth, but it will not form a solid wall, and if there is any place on the ditch where we need a good ditch it ought to be there, where it is subject to the jar of the trains. There is the further objection that it establishes a bad precedent for the company to take the initiative in doing such a poor class of work. The only suggestion I could make would be to wash the sand and get some gravel to mix with it. Trusting that you will understand that this is in the interest of good work, I am, yours truly, H. CLAY KELLOGG. Hale said, first, he was not chairman of the Ditch Committee, and he did not know why Kellogg should address him the letter. At the last meeting of the board, he continued, Kellogg had reported favorably upon the culvert which he now condemned. He had been up the ditch himself, and so far as comparisons were concerned between the work of Berlin, who is doing it as an employee of the company, and that of Damron, who is doing it by contract, superiority was all with the former. "This company is paying an inspector $3.50 per day and an engineer $8 per day," he said emphatically, "and I don't see that the company is getting value received. The engineer goes up to the work whenever the spirit seizes him, and the inspector is not insisting on good work by the contractor. If I should be inspector there would be no slipshod work as Damron is doing—either he or I should go out of the company. He has delayed this work so long that no one knows when we shall have water in the ditch. I believe in firing the whole lot and doing what remains to be done ourselves." Sheppard said he was ready to stand behind a bond of $10,000 that the ditch Berlin was building would stand. If it went out in twenty years he would agree to rebuild it. The gravel Berlin used was that selected by him at Corona some days previously. There was some poor gravel at Corona, but he went to see the man who loaded the cars and was informed by him that he was loading gravel for the Santa Fe company at $1.25 per car. If the water company would pay him $1.50 per car he would give it all the good gravel Crowther, Bradford, Smith and Zeyn were interested listeners to the discussion while it lasted. They took no part in it. A committee consisting of Crowther, Zeyn and Sherwood were appointed to go to Los Angeles on Monday and inspect a safe offered for sale at a price of $290. Sheppard telephoned W. J. Hole at La Habra asking final terms from Stearns Ranchos company on twenty acres at the Tuffree reservoir site. Mr. Hole replied the company's terms were $50 per acre and privilege of watering sheep in the reservoir. The board discussed the matter and voted to offer $50 per acre for the tract, but refused to permit sheep to be watered in reservoir. A warrant in the amount of $27 was ordered drawn in favor of a Corona man with an unprounceable name, for loading 18 cars of gravel at $1.50. Also one in the amount of $34.50 for freight. Communication from W. H. Bailey referring to storm gate on ditch running through Olinda ranch. Referred to committee going to Los Angeles to see about the safe. Secretary Krick read letters from cement companies showing limited stock of same on hand. In fact, a corner was threatened, and prices will probably go higher. Different firms quoted figures on different brands of cement, and Sheppard, in answer to a question by Crowther, said all cement barrels did not look alike to him. He had known a case where sample barrels weighed 405 pounds. During progress of subsequent work barrels felt light, and on being placed on scales many of them weighed as low as 370 pounds. The matter of purchasing cement and investigating weight of barrels was referred to safe committee. The board at Sherwood's suggestion went into executive session to consider proposal of Santa Ana company for construction of a joint canal. S. P. Bates Insane S. P. Bates, the well-known Westminster insurance solicitor, has become insane and was on Monday committed by Judge Ballard to the asylum at Highlands. Bates last week went to Los Angeles to have an operation performed upon a cancer in the ear, with which he has suffered for years. Announcement by the surgeons that his was a hopeless case, coupled with the intense pain of his malady, unsettled his mind, and he became unbalanced mentally. Mrs. Bates, accompanied by Sheriff Lacey, went to Los Angeles and returned Monday with the unfortunate man. The same day he was committed to Highlands. Bates has lived in Orange county for many years. Of late years he has been incapacitated by the cancer. He was in town a fortnight ago, his head bandaged up and suffering no little pain at the time. Turning Instructor Mr. de Julian of San Diego, district turn teacher of the turn verein, is in town to arrange for the engagement of Trustee Schneider of the Committee on Public Improvements reported water connections made for several residences. Fire hydrants had arrived and would be placed in position immediately. The Ordinance Committee reported that the draft of the liquor license on dinance still hung fire. No action was taken. Application for change in location of ditch in Santa Fe tract was denied. Complaint of F. A. Korn relative to storm water accumulating at the side of his property on Broadway. No action was taken. Trustee Schneider of the special committee on oiled roads reported that he and Trustee Weisel had driven over various thoroughfares with a purpose of looking into the propriety of oiling them. They had selected East street Broadway, Walnut and West Center for such purpose. They had engaged Roadmaster Norman to grade and trample up these streets where necessary, and as soon as the county begins oiling will co-operate with Supervisor Potter II applying oil to them. Bills to the amount of $59.21 were audited and ordered paid. There were present at the meeting Trustees Helmsen, Fay, Schneider and Weisel. SEEKS TO DIVIDE SCHOOL DISTRICT Petition Circulated at West Anaheim Askins Separation from City District A petition has been quietly circulated in the outlying portions of West Anaheim for some time past asking partition of the Anaheim school district. Yesterday a member of the school board said the petition was the work for former principal Bird of West Anaheim school, who was dismissed for incompetency last year, and who appears, has not let go of his hobby to divide the district. The boundaries of the proposed new district take in practically everything west of the city limits, including Kella school and going well down Magnolia. They cut School Trust Darling out of this district. Darling says the scheme to divide the district is a malicious one. The petition has been presented at the Board of Supervisors and will be by them considered at a meeting held April 2d.

Neuma Sheppard said he was ready to stand behind a bond of $10,000 that the ditch Berlin was building would stand. If it went out in twenty years he would agree to rebuild it. The gravel Berlin used was that selected by him at Corona some days previously. There was some poor gravel at Corona, but he went to see the man who loaded the cars and was informed by him that he was loading gravel for the Santa Fe company at $1.25 per car. If the water company would pay him $1.50 per car he would give it all the good gravel and the railroad all the bad. This proposal he agreed to, and so far as he had seen the gravel delivered at the bend was good stuff. If poor gravel had been delivered perhaps the railroad company got the cars mixed. Comparing Berlin's work with that of Damron, he said the former was by far the better job of the two. Gardiner, the inspector employed by the company at $3.50 per day, was not insisting upon proper tamping. Berlin was tamping his work properly and was doing a good job. Damron was not. Sheppard placed a quantity of the Colton cement used by Damron in a pan of water. He pointed to it as appearing to be a good quality of mud. It would never make a cement ditch, he said. Sherwood criticized Kellogg for approving at the last meeting the culvert at flume 2, and this week repudiating it. Sherwood seems to have no use for Kellogg, and combs his hair every chance he gets—when Kellogg is not around. At 4 o'clock, when the three members of the board had been footballing Kellogg for an hour, that gentleman blew in. He saw his letter and the diagram of the culvert lying upon the table. "We have just been talking about you, Kellogg," said Sheppard. "What do you think of that cement over there in the pan?" Kellogg walked over to the pan, picked up a handful of mud from the water and said that was no test of cement at all. He told how cement tests could be prepared, but to place a lot of it in water and let it stand for hours—that was, he said, no test at all. Sheppard said he did not pretend to Mrs. Bates, accompanied by Sheriff Lacey, went to Los Angeles and returned on Monday with the unfortunate man. The same day he was committed to Highlands.

Turning Instructor Mr. de Julian of San Diego, district turn teacher of the turn verein, is in town to arrange for the engagement of a suitable teacher for the local verein. For this purpose the turn district will contribute, to the end that classes may be resumed and instruction given those who purpose entering the athletic contests to be held here in the fall. He is being entertained by local turners. Married Ernest Zeller and Miss Matilda Schneider were married on Wednesday evening at the residence of the bride's parents at West Anaheim. After the ceremony a wedding supper was served, and was followed by a musical program. A large number of relatives and friends were present. The newly married couple will reside on Broadway.

PIEROTTI ON THE RESERVOIR It Will Do Away With Night Irrigation in Anaheim EDITOR GAZETTE.—For the secondtime Mr. Sherwood has asserted in hisletters that the Yorba reservoir willnot do away with night irrigation inAnaheim. Which I contradict. Night irrigation usually beginsat the end of the rainy season, or when allthe water in the river is being used byirrigators. The Anaheim Union Water company's share is brought down by theCajon ditch to a point below Horse-shoe Bend, where a portion is divertedthrough the new Anaheim ditch to supply Anaheim. Having no reservoir, irrigators are compelled to usewater continuously day and night. With a reservoir and the contemplatedimprovements on the main canalcompleted, thereby increasing itscapacity to 3000 inches, we would changethe present point of division to onebelow Flume 8, and north of the contemplatedreservoir. It certainly oughtto be plain to the stupidest stockholder(not even excepting our excessivelycautious President) that the nightwater could be held in the reservoirand run out by day exactly as isdone by the company at the old Tuffree reservoir at Placentia. Possibly Mr. Sherwood thinks thathe is telling the truth when he says heis not opposed to building the Yorbareservoir. I would call his attention tothe meeting of March 2d, 1901, whenMr. Travis ran into a meeting ofthe finance committee, mistaking it fora board meeting, and reporting themas agent relative to the purchase ofthe reservoir site, when Mr. Sherwoodassumed the authority and responsibilityof informing Mr. Travers that we did not want the site at any price.Mr. Travis, leaving in disgust, fortunately related his experiencetotome gentlemen on the street, whoinformed him that Mr. Sherwood was notthe board and all hands, and that itwould be well to report to them at theirmeeting in the afternoon, which hed, with the result that an optionwas taken which resulted finally in thepurchase, although fought by Mr.Sherwood at every move and turn fromthe start to the finish, as indeed has been LOCAL "INVESTORS" FLEECED Get-Rich-Quick Scheme Which Didn'tPan Out. The Tontine Savings association ofMinneapolis seems to have gone to pot.from $500 to $1000 of good Anaheimoney is said to have gone with it. Local investors in the "association"have for some months past been proddedwith glowing accounts of the modusoperandi of this get-rich-quick scheme,and yesterday it was said the amountof money contributed by "good things"around town is near $1000. The purpose of this tontine schemeis best described by the followingextract from its circular, explainingthe"plan," as follows: Briefly stated, this association's contractwith its patrons is as follows:When you sign an application fora liamond contract you pay the agent orthe association five dollars down,whereupon an explicit contract is deliveredto you by the association. This contract calls for the payment of $1.25 perweek for sixty consecutive weeks,makingthe total payments amount to $80.If you keep up these payments forthe full sixty weeks, then, when thecontract is reached in the order ofperformance, that is, when yours isthe oldest outstanding contract, the associationwill deliver to you a two-carat,commercial white, clear and flawlessdiamond worth $200 at retail. All contracts whatsoever issuedby any person or concern, should eitherguarantee as to the amount or as to thetime. In most cases, if not all,building and loan associations or companiesguarantee as to the time of payment totheir respective patrons and estimatethe amount which shall be due them. In the plan of the diamond contractissued by this association we reversethat order and make amount the essenceof our contract and the time is estimated. To illustrate: If you pay the sixtyconsecutive payments your contractthen becomes fully paid and non-forfeitable and you will be entitled toreceive the diamond if reached in theorder of performance at that time. Butshould the period of maturity exceedsixty weeks, or run over, as thecommon expression is, you will be no expenseof further payment of installments, but will be holding practicallywhat an insurance company would terma paid-up policy. In their companiesthe policy would be payable toyour beneficiary at your death, inwhich case time is also estimated,and is termed "your period of expectancyof life." You may die much earlier thanthat period, or you may live long afterit, but the law of average protectsthe company or association in its estimate. PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. H. A.

But the record does not lie; neither will five of last year's directors, who will corroborate my charges in this article. A. PIEROTTI. REGISTRATION. County Clerk Beckett reports 235 names registered in Anaheim for the municipal election. Many of those already upon the register have not registered. It is thought the vote at the coming city election will be over 300. RAINFALL. Mr. Storm reports a precipitation of .38 of an inch of rainfall during the week, bringing the total for the season up to 9.52 inches. Last year to date, 10.94. James Moran, who was sent to the county jail from this city some weeks ago to serve a ninety-day sentence for vagrancy, turns out to be an escape from the Preston reform school at Ione. He is wanted besides for assault with a reservoir site, when Mr. Sherwood assumed the authority and responsibility of informing Mr. Travers that we did not want the site at any price. Mr. Travis, leaving in disgust, fortunately related his experience to some gentlemen on the street, who informed him that Mr. Sherwood was not the board and all hands, and that it would be well to report to them at their meeting in the afternoon, which he did, with the result that an option was taken which resulted finally in the purchase, although fought by Mr. Sherwood at every move and turn from the start to the finish, as indeed has been his course in regard to the important improvements in Horseshoe bend and the extension of Cajon ditch up the Narrows, even throwing cold water on cementing the lateral ditches when assisted by land owners. His whole course has been that of an obstructionist, and his presence and influence on the board I regard as a public calamity. It requires work and careful thought to progress with the requirements of the country and times, but an obstinate objector can successfully do nothing. Mr. Sherwood insists, tiresomely, through him and him alone did we come into possession of any data as to the reservoir site. All this information added to the subject through him is merelythe especial and numerous explanations which Engineer Kellogg has made in the vain and hope-less task of inserting the fact into Sherwood's head that Anaheim would not have to irrigate nights after the completion of the reservoir. Had the well-matured plans of the old board been carried out, work onthe reservoir would now be well under way,and other important measures would not be dragging along apparently to a lingering death.
