SHERWOOD HYPNOTIZES ZEYN AND SMITH Former Votes With Him Discrediting Kellogg's Report on Reservoir Outlet—Latter With Majority to Discharge Him Boss Crowther was left high and dry at Saturday's water meeting. When routine business had occupied the board's attention until well along in the afternoon, Hale introduced the business end of a resolution which started things adoing with a buzz. Things had been going agin the Boss during the afternoon. He resigned himself to his fate, consoled apparently in the thought that another election would be on by and bye. When Sherwood reported for Zeyn's committee, discrediting Kellogg's previously filed report on the character and route of the outlet for the Yorba reservoir, he moved mechanically to file it, feeling doubtless that somebody had been whispering stories in Zeyn's ear; when Sherwood reported on the reservoir recommending changes that, so far as the present board is concerned, tended to knock that enterprise higher'n Gilroy's kite, he moved a similar mechanical request; but when the business end of Hale's motion struck him, and the chair sought to railroad the same through the meeting as the others had been, the buzz stuck in Crowther's crawl and he let out an imitation of a roar that was hoarse and sepulchral. At the board's meeting a month before the matter of appointing a committee to procure right of way for the outlet ditch from the Yorba reservoir was lost in the shuffle subsequent to the thwacking of Hale's mighty fist upon the table. At the succeeding meeting a forthright agone the chair, recovering its equilibrium after the charge by the boss that it was insidiously opposing the reservoir, referred to the matter as having slipped its attention at the earlier meeting, and thereupon appointed Zeyn as such committeeman. That gentleman demurred at first to serving. The boss interjected the remark, sententiously, that whenever a member of the board was honored by the chair with appointment upon a committee it was his duty to serve upon it—to the best of his ability, he added solo voce. The chair assured the newly appointed committeeman, who doubted his power to make headway on account of the possibility of the senatorbled pastbers of this board. That is cause sufficient for his dismissal. Sheppard said the company was paying Kellogg $8 per day for his services and $2 for his team. He keeps his own time. Sheppard gave numerous instances of engineers working for less money, and cited two cases (one being at Downey, the other in that neighborhood) where engineers are paid $5 per day and furnish their own team. They also work half days. Hale said the measuring wier put in by Kellogg at the Tuffree reservoir was a fizzle—"a fizzle," said he; "that is all you can make out of it. We are paying big money for engineering work and getting very little service out of it so far as I can see." Crowther—State your reasons then, gentlemen, for this dismissal. Sherwood—If we stated our reasons it would undoubtedly injure him in his profession, and that we do not care to do. His work has been unsatisfactory to certain members of this board, and that is sufficient for us. On a ballot Hale, Sheppard and Smith voted aye; Bradford, Crowther and Zeyn no. Sherwood voted aye, and Kellogg was out of it. The board discussed at some length the cement ditch running a mile through the Tuffree tract and which is so low that water cannot be got out of it for irrigation except by a system of elaborate pumps. Some members of the board seem inclined to put blame therefor upon Kellogg, who had nothing to do with it, and others are disposed to criticise Capt. Healey, who ran the line of the ditch, at Tuffree's request, but refused to further associate himself with it in view of the fact that the company already had an engineer employed and in the field. Puzzle: Find the man, or the board, responsible for the low ditch. Some time ago C. C. Chapman purchased twenty acres in the tract and asked that a gate be put in the ditch to permit him to get water. The gate was put in, but when Chapman stepped off his land he discovered the ditch was not on his twenty at all. He asked for another gate, as well as that sides of the ditch be raised. The gate was put in—this time, by the exercise of superhuman brain propulsion, in the right twenty; and the sides of the ditch raised to the proper elevation. A bill for these things in the amount of $47 50 of circulating medium threw the board into a brown study. ordered to be placed to Bockman's credit. Sherwood said he desired to catch the 5 o'clock train for Los Angeles and left the meeting a short while before train time. Hale took the chair. The chair said the next thing in order would be discussion of the Yorba reservoir. Sheppard moved that investigation of the site be continued along lines mapped out by Sherwood. Zeyn said he wished that something would be done. "There are members of this board," he said, "who say they are in favor of the reservoir, but I believe they are really against it." The board agreed that Sherwood and Zeyn continue the investigations, and went into executive session. Burned Out Private letters from San Francisco bring the distressing intelligence that Mrs. Maurey and her daughter, Mrs. Wilmot Maurey, both well and favora-bly known here, having formerly resided here, suffered the loss of their household effects, furniture and clothing in a fire that destroyed the building in which they resided, some nights ago. They narrowly escaped with their lives. Sympathy is felt for them on the part of many friends in Orange county. Jones' Cafe The Metz block, where Jones' cafe is now open to the public, has undergone a complete transformation scene, and in its new front, new paint and new furnishings makes a handsome appearance. The cafe has been handsomely furnished, the kitchen fitted up with a new range and up-to-date cooking utensils, and the lodging-rooms up-stairs newly carpeted and refurbished throughout. Anaheim has now a restaurant and lodging-house of which it may well feel proud. Jimmy Jones is known throughout the State as an experienced caterer, and he aims to keep his establishment in the front rank of similar places in Southern California. Obituary. Peter Arimond, aged 88 years, a well-known resident for ten years of this city, fell dead on the sidewalk on Monday morning in front of the residence of Joseph Backs. He was on the way to his home from the postoffice. He was complaining of heart trouble the previous evening, and this was the direct cause of his death. He leaves no member of his family in Anaheim charge by the boss that it was insistiously opposing the reservoir, referred to the matter as having slipped its attention at the earlier meeting, and thereupon appointed Zeyn as such committeeman. That gentleman demurred at first to serving. The boss interjected the remark, sententiously, that whenever a member of the board was honored by the chair with appointment upon a committee it was his duty to serve upon it—to the best of his ability, he added soto voce. The chair assured the newly appointed committeeman, who doubted his power to make headway on account of the possibility of the sepulchred past bobbing up serenely, that it would afford him every assistance and would go with him through the haunted forest to frighten the spookers away. What meed of assistance, so generously proffered by the chair, was rendered the committee may be inferred by the following report, written by the chair, its signature first upon the document, that of the committeeman, like Jill and her experiences down the hill, tumbling after, to-wit: REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RESERVOIR OUTLET. Board of Directors A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen. Your committee on right of way for outlet ditch from reservoir reports that it has been over the route of the proposed ditch and is impressed with the fact that the proposed location will involve unnecessary difficulties and expense. It believes that a line can be located which will be better in every way and will save the company a large amount of money, and recommends that no further action be taken in this matter until other surveys are made. G. W. SHERWOOD, J. P. ZEYN. Kellogg's report upon the same matter, made deliberately after a personal inspection of the premises, was thus sent up in the air—but no higher than he was himself sent directly after. And it looks as if reservoir has gone up with him to keep him company. Sure no one can complain about the present board not doing things. It is a strenuous board with a vengeance. The boss massaged his whiskers with both hands, and making the best of a bad bargain, moved the report be filed and it was so ordered. There was nothing doing when the chair submitted the following report on the reservoir, diagrees with Kellogg, suggesting an increase of its capacity, raising the dam, and practically putting it to sleep: REPORT YORBA RESERVOIR COMMITTEE Board of Directors A. U. W. Co.—Gentlemen: I have to report that nothing further has been done in the matter of the examination of the reservoir site. I do not agree with the suggestions of Mr. Kellogg, made in the letter read at the last meeting of the board, and feel that we would be no wiser than we are now if they were carried out. I would recommend— 1st. That a deep hole be bored in the bottom, near the outer toe of the proposed dam, and another at some point in the bottom within the reservoir. 2nd. That one or more holes be bored on the hills on each side on about the line of the proposed dam, with the purpose of finding out whether the gravel deposit extends into the reservoir site; its depth and the practicability of cutting off its connection with the reservoir. Chased twenty acres in the tract and asked that a gate be put in the ditch to permit him to get water. The gate was put in, but when Chapman stepped off his land he discovered the ditch was not on his twenty at all. He asked for another gate, as well as that sides of the ditch be raised. The gate was put in—this time, by the exercise of superhuman brain propulsion, in the right twenty; and the sides of the ditch raised to the proper elevation. A bill for these things in the amount of $47 50 of circulating medium, threw the board into a brown study. Hale looked very sour as he said that not a single twenty on the ranch could be supplied with water from the ditch. Here was a precedent to set. The board rebelled at the idea of requiring the company to bear the burden of raising the ditch; but who should pay the bill before it? Kellogg, or Healey, or Tuffree? The board finally decided to send the bill to Chapman, he being a man of peace and having most money. Mr. Konig appeared before the board and asked that a share of stock standing in name of C. Stappenback, deceased, be transferred to him, the same being his property, he having given it to Stappenback for use during his lifetime. Granted, on his filing an indemnity bond in $100. Attorney Melrose rendered an opinion in the Allec-Krooger ditch controversy, holding the company could not substantiate its right to the same. Allec recently plowed in the ditch and planted the land to potatoes, which are now up and in flower. If the frost don't get them Johnny Crapo will have potatoes to throw to the birds. Petition of T. Anderson for gate on Placentia-avenue ditch. To ditch committee. Zanjero Stone wrote asking an increase of $10 in his salary. He now receives $80. Sheppard thought that $80 a month was pretty good wages. The communication was filed. Mrs. Rosina Steley called the board's attention to the poor service of earthen ditch supplying her with water. The board ordered it cemented, capacity to be 200 inches. Bond of Zanjero Parrett, with G. H. Hatfield and J. C. Sheppard, as sureties, in $500 each. Also bond of Zanjero Stone, with Wm. Crowther and W. Alms as sureties, in similar sum. Approved. Supt. Porter and Zanjero Brunworth were given further time to procure bonds. Hale said he had heard that Parrett was not measuring his stream down in the Orangethorpe country. This practice was wrong, he said. The zanjero should measure every stream he has under his control. Porter said he did not believe a word of it. He had followed Parrett up and had found him fulfilling his every duty. The ditch committee reported as follows: REPORT OF THE DITCH COMMITtee. To the Honorable Board of Directors of Anaheim Union Water Company—Gentlemen: We report favorably on the may well feel proud. Simply known throughout the State as an experienced caterer, and he aims to keep his establishment in the front rank of similar places in Southern California. Obituary. Peter Arimond, aged 88 years, a well-known resident for ten years of this city, fell dead on the sidewalk on Monday morning in front of the residence of Joseph Backs. He was on the way to his home from the postoffice. He was complaining of heart trouble the previous evening, and this was the direct cause of his death. He leaves no member of his family in Anaheim except the widow, who was his sixth wife. The funeral services were held yesterday at the Catholic church. James A. Davis died at the residence of W. R. Harker on Los Angeles street Thursday morning last. He was a native of England, and came to Anaheim thirteen years ago. He was the father of Mrs. W. R. Harker, Miss Alice Davis and Mrs. Brown of Los Angeles, Mrs. Lane of Garden Grove and Wm. Davis of Danville, Ill. The funeral occurred Saturday afternoon. Celery Company. A new company has been organized to handle celery and other vegetable products of Southern California. The organization will be known as the Golden West Celery and Produce company, with headquarters at Los Angeles, and its directors are: D. H. Thomas of Santa Ana, H. S. Hazeltine of Smeltzer, E. A. Curtis and W. F. Cronemiller of Los Angeles and C. H. Kuehne of Kansas City. The company proposes to handle celery crop this season on the f.o.b.p., plan, and an executive committee composed of three men will fix—the price at which the product shall be sold and exercise general supervision over shipping and marketing. One man of the committee will be chosen by the company, one by the growers and the third by the two. Three-fourths of the growers have signified their assent to the conditions by signing a conditional contract. A meeting was held at Smeltzer to more fully explain the plan and to secure additional signatures. Messrs. Curtis and Cronemiller have until recently been identified with the Earl Fruit company. H. S. Hazeltine for the past two years has been manager for D.E.Smeltzer & Co., D.H.Thomas is assistant cashier of the First National bank of Santa Ana.C.H.Kuehne is a partner in the firm of D.E.Smeltzer & Co. Citrus Shipments Total citrus-fruit shipments, as reported yesterday by Agent Clabaugh from all sections of Southern California amounted to 14,024 carloads. Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst has sold her Washington residence to the Italian government, the consideration being $130,000. This is the second home which Mrs.Hearst has modeled and adorned in the capital city,and which subsequently was sold for an embassy.The former is German embassy. Mrs.Hearst has left Washington for California,and it is likely that this lady,who has so long been identified Crowther moved the report be filed and it was so ordered. And the reservoir, steered by the dumb, went upward with the flood. However when Hale's business end struck Crowther in the craw there was a discussion which threatened for a time to be interesting, but it turned out to be otherwise. Hale moved that the office of engineer be declared vacant. This in view of the fact that the company has no "office of engineer." Seconded by Sheppard. The chair—You have heard the question. Is there any debate? If not, all in favor of the same— Crowther—Mr. President, why don't you state your reasons for this resolution? Give us your reasons. This man has been a faithful employee of the company for years. State your reasons for dismissing him. Hale—Is it necessary to submit reasons whenever this company desires to dismiss an employee whom it does not care longer to continue in its service? You have yourself (addressing Crowther) recently said you were tired of auditing his bills on the finance committee. Sherwood—Kellogg's work has been unsatisfactory to a majority of mem- Total citrus-fruit shipments; as reported yesterday by Agent Clabaugh from all sections of Southern California amounted to 14,024 carloads. Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst has sold her Washington residence to the Italian government, the consideration being $130,000. This is the second home which Mrs. Hearst has modeled and adorned in the capital city, and which subsequently was sold for an embassy. The former is the German embassy. Mrs. Hearst has left Washington for California, and it is likely that this lady, who has so long been identified with the social history of Washington may not again be a permanent resident. It is stated her departure, like that of Mrs. George W. Childs, is due to changes and evolution in the life of Washington. Mrs. Hearst does not approve of many fads there; indeed she remains somewhat old-fashioned and her disapproval of the modern "smart set" is so marked that she very rarely invited members of this coterie to her house. Bicycles and Sporting Goods A full stock of bicycle supplies. Bicycle repairing of all kinds promptly done. All work guaranteed. Also agent for the Santa Ana Steam Laundry. I run a laundry wagon that will call for and deliver your laundry twice a week. Laundry coming in late as 9 o'clock Thursday morning will be delivered to you Saturday at e'clock. E.W.MCCOLLUM.

He was on the home from the postoffice, oblaining of heart trouble evening, and this was the life of his death. He leaves of his family in Anaheim PRESIDENT WHEELER ON GOVERNOR In His Harmon Gymnasium Speech He Paid a Fine Compliment to the Chief Executive. President Benj. Ide Wheeler of the State university paid a very fine compliment to the Governor and the late legislature for the assistance given the university. If it had not been for their aid, President Wheeler said, the university at this time would be "swamped." There is no question that the university owes much to Governor Gage for his earnest and fearless efforts in its behalf. At his suggestion a general bill was passed which gives $100,000 a year extra to the university for a number of years. In complimenting the Governor, President Wheeler did but simple justice to the man. But certain petty San Francisco journals showed their venom by eliminating from President Wheeler's speech all reference to the Governor, and made their articles read as though President Wheeler had intentionally snubbed him by omitting reference to him and praising the legislature only. This was evidently their malicious object. It was an injustice to the Governor and placed the president of the university in a false light. It was in keeping with the policy of these papers, which is to suppress or distort the facts when at variance with the spleen of their owners. Governor Gage has been a loyal, earnest friend of the university, and has done all in his power to advance its interests. The compliment paid him by President Wheeler was a deserved one. The splendid appointments to the position or regents of itself attests the high esteem in which the Governor holds the university. His appointees have all been high class. A glance at the list is sufficient to convince any one of their high character. They are: The well-beloved and noble woman, Phoebe A. Hearst; the distinguished lawyer and peerless orator, Gen W. H. L. Barnes; the well-known capitalist and business man, J. B. Reinstein; the great banker, I. W. Hellman; those two renounced lawyers, Garrett W. McEnerny and Charles S. Wheeler, and Alameda's favorite son and good citizen, Dr. George C. Pardee. No better appointments have been made in the history of the university than those made by Governor Gage. The appointments have been made solely for the betterment of the university and regardless of politics. It is pleasing to know that we have at the head of the university a man big enough to give credit where it is due and it is to be regretted that we ITEMS ROUNDABOUT TOWN Shooting Accident While out shooting near town some days ago, Fernando Gastello, aged 17, suffered a gunshot wound by the accidental discharge of his gun, that may make it necessary to amputate his arm at the shoulder. He was riding in a cart at the time, with the gun leaning under his left shoulder, when the weapon was in some manner discharged, sending its contents into the shoulder. The man was brought to his home on Center street and Dr. Bickford sent for. He extracted a quantity of shot and pieces of clothing from the wound, which was found to be a desperate one. The patient has been resting easily. It is not yet known whether it will be necessary to take the arm off or not. Barker's Condition Steve Barker, the man who was stabbed by Coyote Joe Reyes, was on Monday reported in greatly improved condition, although the preceding Saturday he was close to death. He suffered from delirium, and on Saturday evening a consultation of physicians was had, at which it was decided that a surgical operation, to relieve the pleural cavity of coagulated blood accumulated there, was the only means of saving the man's life. The operation followed on Monday. A pint of blood was withdrawn. Barker's symptoms have since improved, and yesterday it was reported that he stood a fair chance of recovery. Fair and Cattle Show Secretary Athearn of the Chamber of Commerce has received a letter from Secretary Robbins of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce saying the directors of the Thirty-second Agricultural Association had decided to offer to this city the Fair and Cattle Show, to be held here instead of Santa Ana, this fall. The local organization will take the matter under advisement and will send a committee over to confer with the Santa Ana people on Saturday next.

MRS. ALICIA ARIMOND. To Fight Scale. The Department of Agriculture is preparing to fight the ravages of the San Jose scale throughout the country with its natural enemy, the lady bug, brought from the interior of China. Assistant Botanist Marlatt has just returned from the Orient, where he sought the original home of the dread scale. Far in the interior of China, where European plants had not penetrated, he found the scale and also the lady bugs, which kept the scale in subjection and permitted the native plants to flourish. Mr. Marlatt started home with a good supply of these lady bugs, but only sixteen survived on arrival in this country, and fourteen of these subsequently died. The two remaining, however, were nursed carefully by the government, with a view to fighting the scale in the same manner as in China. There are now fifty of them, requiring the constant gathering of scale from the department grounds for food. While not expecting the scale to be exterminated from this country, experts are planning to attack them with the increasing breed of their natural enemies. Child Killed by File.
