AND THE RESERVOIR WENT A LITTLE BIT HIGHER Nothing Doing, Says Sherwood, Shaking His Gory Locks, and Calmly Reviewing Wreck and Crash of Worlds Mr. Zeyn played second fiddle again to Mr. Sherwood at Saturday's water meeting in sending the Yorba reservoir on its way rejoicing, to Tophet or some other seaport town. That the reservoir will be constructed by the present board is such an extremely doubtful proposition that it might as well be dismissed from consideration of possible things. We have seen how Sherwood has bucked the proposition from the start. At latest accounts he had not ceased in his attitude of transparent hostility to the enterprise, but his efforts have taken the turn of watching the antics of his fellow-committeeman in reporting, with an air upon his countenance as if he had just swallowed epecac, that there was nothing to report from the "committee on further investigation of the reservoir site," now engaged with the matter since more than a month ago. Apparently Sherwood has the reservoir just where he wants it. While he insists in declaring that he favors it, he reports there are no well-borers in the country and that to his inability to employ an outfit to bore deep holes in the site to see what's underneath is due the fact that his committee has nothing to offer concerning the matter in hand. Probably there will exist a similar state of things when the final summons comes to join—if he remains in control of the board. Zeyn announced his solemn conviction at the meeting a fortnight before that there were members on the board who, while they were loud in their protestations of fealty to the enterprise, were nevertheless secretly opposed to it. This observation was evidently intended for Sherwood, who had just left the meeting. And yet Zeyn plays into Sherwood's hand by serving upon a committee out of which nothing can come, and the official report of which is prepared by the man whom he has in private accused of being opposed to the reservoir. The proper man to act upon the committee—if indeed such a committee be at all necessary, in view of the data on file, and all of it favorable to the reservoir—is Engineer Kellogg, who knows more about it than any man in Southern California. True, Kellogg with Henrico Oelkers and John Peter Zeyn as sureties, was approved. The board, feeling in good humor, handed the stockholders a gift in the shape of an assessment of one plunk, payable according to the terms of the official announcement appearing in another column. Sherwood was appointed a committee of one to examine the work done by Damron in the Bend and report upon its completion. Damron has orally informed Secretary Krick that the work is completed. Engineer Kellogg submitted his last communication to the board in final estimates for work performed by Damron at Horseshoe Bend, the amount being, for work in the three sections, $8,-675 03 already paid, and $1113 12 due and payable June 10th. Kellogg added significantly that he had no authority to report upon the completion of the work. Sherwood submitted the agreement presented the board by Col. Tuffee some weeks ago, and by him taken from the Secretary's carved desk at a previous meeting. The same purported to be a copy of the present agreement between the two parties, except its provision that the rent for that portion of the reservoir being upon Tuffee's land be raised from $60 to $120 per year. Secretary Krick read the instrument while at suggestion of Hale Attorney Melrose held the old agreement, following the same while the secretary read. It was discovered that numerous important alterations had been made in the new draft and these the board considered in executive session. Oiled Roads Supervisor Potter and Roadmaster Norman began yesterday the oiling of the county road west of town, at Ben Snodgrass' corner and running west two miles. The city will co-operate with the county in oiling the continuation of the road into town as far as West Center street. Mr. Potter says travel will not be interfered with. Only half the thoroughfare will be oiled at a time, the other side being reserved for travel. In 24 hours the oilled portion is ready for use. Roadmaster Norman will be at the work of oiling roads in this vicinity for two weeks. Memorial Day Memorial Day will be observed on Friday, the 30th, by decoration of the graves of soldiers in the cemetery here during the morning hours and exer- posed to it. This observation was evidently intended for Sherwood, who had just left the meeting. And yet Zeyn plays into Sherwood's hand by serving upon a committee out of which nothing can come, and the official report of which is prepared by the man whom he has in private accused of being opposed to the reservoir. The proper man to act upon the committee—if indeed such a committee be at all necessary, in view of the data on file, and all of it favorable to the reservoir—is Engineer Kellogg, who knows more about it than any man in Southern California. True, Kellogg has been discharged at behest of Sherwood, a rival engineer insanely jealous of him, and whose every purpose on the board seems to have been centered in an effort to do Kellogg. Sherwood discharged Kellogg by and through the vote of Smith, who surprised every one of his constituents by his act. Smith has been roundly criticized by many for his vote, and will have a bit of rough sledding, so the wise ones say, when the proxies blow. But Kellogg is the man who should carry on the "investigations" into the site further—if any further investigation is necessary. Zeyn is not. He should no longer listen to the tempter, but should bid him heraus mit len. When the board had been for some time in order and had taken a fall out of a volume of routine business, the chair said: Sherwood—The next business in order is the report of the committee on further examination of the reservoir site. Zeyn—The committee will ask for further time. Sherwood (amplyfying)—The committee has been unable to procure the services of a well-borers' outfit with which to bore deep holes in the site. The committee is therefore unable to report, and will be given further time. But who ever heard of a plan to bore "deep holes" in a reservoir, the stratification of which had already been reported upon to a depth of 28 feet? It was discovered that back rent to the amount of $200 and odd was due the Stearns ranchos for land occupied at the Tuffee reservoir. It was ordered that a warrant be drawn in the same amount, to be added to the warrant for $1100 to be paid for 20 acres at the reservoir, deed to which has not yet been received. The Stearns ranchos wrote that their secretary was out of town, but if the water company were desirious of having a deed before his return they would appoint a secretary pro tem, who could attend to the matter in the absence of the regular official. Secretary Krick was instructed to write saying the company wished the deed as soon as it can be conveniently forwarded. Smith of the ditch committee reported that in the matter of the application of T. Anderson for a gate at his place on Placentia avenue the same be granted, but that the connecting pipe going under the road must be put in at his own expense. So ordered. Sheppard reported the division gate had been constructed in Bedrock can- posed to it. This observation was evidently intended for Sherwood, who had just left the meeting.

Smith of the ditch committee reported that in the matter of the application of T.

Sheppard reported the division gate had been constructed in Bedrock canyon, according to recommendations by him made, and an equitable division of the water in the river arrived at. Zanjero Brunworth reported Sparks' ditch was too low and overflowed its banks. He recommended the sides be raised for a distance of 100 feet. Mr. Sparks was present and confirmed the report, saying the ditch was so low he could not irrigate from it. Crowther—Isn't it a fact that your land is too low for the ditch? Sparks — Sure it is. All the land along the ditch is too high for it. That is what's the matter with it. The board smiled and ordered the Superintendent to raise the sides sufficiently to make it serviceable. Contractor Damron wrote from Santa Ana that he had taken an extra dose of nervine, was feeling quite well and desired that the board allow him $200 extra on his job of cementing the big ditch at the Bend, on account of his having to heave excavated material further than he had figured it at the beginning of the work, which is so long ago now that the oldest inhabitant scarce remembers it. The board decided that Damron's nerve was overtrained, and, turning down his claim, sent him a communication in reply to the effect that if he did not forthwith removed the excavated material from along the sides of the canal, and remove the slope so that all elements of danger were removed, the company would do so at his expense and deduct amount from his final estimates.

On Sunday being a rumor spread that he had the previous evening at 9 o'clock, every of the attending physicians had the information that so far being dead his condition had improved since the preceding Steve was operated upon Sat., and a piece of rib taken from no permit the withdrawal of a city of bloody pus from the pleural. It was given out at the time the barely survived the operation. Nick or so previously he underwent surgical operation since being four weeks ago last Saturday. It was decided that the operas necessary in order to save his complications having set in which night on delirium, indicating poison of the blood. Thirty-six ounces regulated blood and pus were reeled from the pleural cavity. The it was left in extremely weakened vision. Next day it was not thought he could survive. However he and in a day or two was sitting portion of the day reading. He need to be holding his own during day, but at night the delirium, puzzling the doctors. The condition kept up until Saturday when his condition reached an ebb tide that it was decided to be a piece of rib and draw off the stated blood and pus as the only saving the man's life. Her scarcely survived the effects of her operation. It was feared he die. But he rallied, and despite short that he was dead, on Monday Tuesday he was said to be holding him, with a possible chance for his death was stabbed, as stated, fourago Saturday night.

EUROPE AND AMERICA CONTRASTED What Each May Learn From the Other —Wholesale and Retail Fashions. BY FRANCIS E. CLARK, D. D. [CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAZETTE.] There is nothing more interesting to a traveler from America than to contrast the customs and manners of the New World with those of the Old. How do we differ from the rest of the civilized world? How have we improved upon the model set for us? Or have we lost ground in the race? How have influences of climate and environment modified the national character? How has our type of government affected natural characteristics? All these are interesting questions, and cause one to keep his eyes open for resemblances and contrasts. This series of articles does not pretend to go into the philosophic depths of these questions, which are matters for profound and careful research; but they deal with tangible and visible distinctions which an observant traveler may at any time note. It is quite easy to be blinded by a national pride to every good thing in a foreign land. It is very possible not only to make out all your ducklings to be swans, but to think that our neighbors' eyeglasses are ducklings. One has to go abroad more than once to see things in their right proportions; and he must not live abroad too long at a time, or he will become denationalized, coming to be so English or so German or so French that he will acquire a contempt for the virtues of his native land. Of all snobs, the denationalized American, whose pulse never beats a throb faster when he sees the Stars and Stripes, is the worst. On the other hand, an aggressive, undiscriminating Americanism may make a fool of a man quite as quickly as the other extreme. AN AMERICAN'S FIRST IMPRESSIONS On a first visit to Europe one is quite likely to regard everything as amusingly behind the times. The trains are "wretchedly slow-coaches," inconvenient and medieval; the hotels are run by a "tribe of blacklegs and sharpers," who exist largely for the purpose of preying upon Americans; the tip system is an abomination and that continually; and in fact nothing is done quite so well as in the land of the free and the home of the brave. As the traveler repeats his visits will be offered you for dessert, but if you help yourself freely according to the American style, when you pay your bill you find that before the dish was set upon the table a complete inventory was taken of every piece, and you must pay for each plum and cherry and apple its own special price. SMALL CHARGES. In London I have even been charged in a large restaurant for a little hot water with which to weaken my tea, for fear that with the hot water I might make two cups of the cheering beverage instead of the one that I had ordered. This retail way of doing business extends to all departments of trade. In stores of considerable size in Italy it is often difficult to get change for a ten lira bill, which amounts to about two dollars in our money, and the proprietor rushes out frantically to his neighbors to get the change, from one to the other, only to find that they are as destitute of the article as himself. There are, of course, some very large establishments in London and Paris and Berlin, but nothing that yet equals in comprehensiveness our great department stores. It is thought by many Englishmen that Whiteley's in London is the biggest thing of the kind in the world, and it is in truth an enormous "shop." But when the floor space was measured and compared with Wanamaker's in Philadelphia it was found that the latter was three or four times as big. The small shopkeeper certainly flourishes better in England and on the continent than in America, and, in my opinion, largely because of the retail habits of people. What student of national characterisms will explain this undoubted differentiation between the East and the West? Is it our boundless continent that induces the wholesale spirit? Is it our wide prairies, our national domain that stretches from sea to sea, that leads us to lump our beefsteak, potatoes, bread and butter and pickles all together as one item? THE REASON. Is it the magnificent distances that our new cities stretch out into that make us willing to pay a nickel and get a cent's worth of street-car ride on the broomstick train? Or is it the fact that money is easier and wages are higher in America that leads us to count with less particularity and minuteness the pennies and the dimes? At any rate, the fact remains with its advantages and disadvantages. It is PERSONAL MENTION. Ed Geisel has been skipping la-loo in San Berdoo this week. C. Moran was in from Place terday and made us a pleasant surprise. Mrs. John A. Seeley of San cisco is visiting her sister Mrs Carver. James Forbes of Placentia was among the crowd in town some noons ago. W. T. Salvin, a native of Haina has been admitted to citizen Judge Ballard. Charley Fay has returned for session of the Odd Fellows grazing in San Francisco. Coley Travis was in town on evening, having made the rooftops from his home at Orange to Poison. Sport Wetzel came down from Berdoo on Tuesday to say his friends hereabout. He tips them at 240 pounds. Mrs. Hugo has returned from Ford, and states Nick will be able few days, having tired of Central formia and feeling there is no like home. R. McFrose and his daughters Jessie and Winifred; Mrs. Cliner, H. Cahen and C. Federman; a party and joined the Fratercine excursion to Mount Lowe on Friday. H. F. Kealiber has returned Long Beach, where he has been played for some weeks at the car trade. Says there is lots of biking going on, but the town is dry and windy. Mr. McEachran of Puente oo suffered the loss of two fingers right hand by catching them in wheel while at work at the warehouse Monday. He was brought to town his injuries attended by Dr. K. D. Bertsch, one of the producers of the Eastside, was in day or two ago. He reports deeds fruits and walnuts promise abc crops, and that if nothing unfuntervenes yield will probably largest ever raised in the city. W. M. Cline, representing tha steamship company, was in touch Friday in the interest of his firm Cline is one of the most popular freight and passenger agents business, can talk a man seaside travel, and handles more of it than man in his line within forty miles. Wm. Schwenckert came down A recent State Convention annual convention of the State Saloon League of Southern California is hereby called to meet in the C.A. hall, Los Angeles, at 10:30 Monday, May 26th, 1902. There will be an afternoon session beginning at 1:30. Membership in this convention will offer all pastors in attendance. Five delegates from each church. One delegate for each ten memorials any local Anti-Saloon League. Three delegates from each W.J. or other organization in sympathy with the work of the League. Ties may be appointed or elected by preferred. All are welcome to the sessions of the convention. Addition to the annual business ofvention, which will be full of it, there will be several able ad-hoc and full free discussion of topics, and all interspersed voice literary and musical selecProf. and Mrs. Dobbins. In Europe, as you look over the menu, you rejoice to find that a steak costs only one franc, twenty cents, and you say to yourself, "What a cheap country this is to live in!" On a first visit to Europe one is quite likely to regard everything as amusingly behind the times. The trains are "wretchedly slow-coaches," inconvenient and medieval; the hotels are run by a "tribe of blacklegs and sharpers," who exist largely for the purpose of preying upon Americans; the tip system is an abomination and that continually; and in fact nothing is done quite so well as in the land of the free and the home of the brave. As the traveler repeats his visits, however, he finds that, after all, the inhabitants of Europe are not "two hundred millions of people, chiefly idiots," that many of their customs are admirably adapted to their own needs, and that possibly, in some respects we should not be above copying them. The most disagreeable and utterly absurd Americans whom I ever saw abroad were half a dozen recently naturalized Americans whose features declared their immediate origin, and who could not speak decent English. They scoffed at every thing foreign in atrocious "American." They faunthed American flags in their hats. They declared over and again that nothing they had seen could "hold a candle" to things American, and they rejoiced, with profane expletives, that they were soon going back to "God's country." Undoubtedly Europe can learn many things from America; it is not impossible that we can learn from her, for she is not nearly so effete and stagnant as some persons are inclined to think. THE RETAIL STYLE One thing that impresses the traveller in Europe is a certain retail way of living and doing business, as contrasted with the wholesale style of America. In Europe you are made to pay for every item with scrupulous exactness. In America you often pay for what you have not had, or at least you pay in a lump sum on the wholesale plan for a number of things which an American feels it beneath his dignity to itemize. In Europe on the buses and tram-cars you pay for the distance you travel. If you go half a mile, you pay half a penny; if a mile a whole penny; if two miles, twice the sum, etc. In America you drop your nickel into the conductor's waiting palm; he rings in the fare on his indicator; and you get off when you please, after you have traveled a rod or five miles. So at the restaurants and hotels, one is ever reminded of this difference between the two countries. In America you order a beefsteak, for instance, and the brisk waiter returns not only with the sirloin for which you asked, but, as a matter of course, with potatoes, bread and butter, pickles and perhaps a vegetable or two. For the steak you pay half a dollar, or seventy-five cents, and the rest is "thrown in." In Europe, as you look over the menu, you rejoice to find that a steak costs only one franc, twenty cents, and you say to yourself, "What a cheap country this is to live in!" On a first visit to Europe one is quite likely to regard everything as amusingly behind the times. The trains are "wretchedly slow-coaches," inconvenient and medieval; the hotels are run by a "tribe of blacklegs and sharpers," who exist largely for the purpose of preying upon Americans; the tip system is an abomination and that continually; and in fact nothing is done quite so well as in the land of the free and the home of the brave. As the traveler repeats his visits, however, he finds that, after all, the inhabitants of Europe are not "two hundred millions of people, chiefly idiots," that many of their customs are admirably adapted to their own needs, and that possibly, in some respects we should not be above copying them.

They declared over and again that nothing they had seen could "hold a candle" to things American, and they rejoiced, with profane expletives, that they were soon going back to "God's country." Undoubtedly Europe can learn many things from America; it is not impossible that we can learn from her, for she is not nearly so effete and stagnant as some persons are inclined to think. THE REALITY. Is it the magnificent distances that our new cities stretch out into that make us willing to pay a nickel and get a cent's worth of street-car ride on the broomstick train? Or is it the fact that money is easier and wages are higher in America that leads us to count with less particularity and minuteness the pennies and the dimes? At any rate, the fact remains with its advantages and disadvantages. It is undoubtedly better for the poor man to get just what he pays for. If he does not want to ride a mile he does not have to pay for five. If he can get along without butter on his bread or milk for his coffee he does not have to pay for them, and he does pay for exactly what he has. The retail system is unquestionably a great encourager of economy, and very likely is born of the necessity for economy. On the other hand, America's wholesale fashion appeals to the generous and large-minded instincts of a free and prosperous people. It does not concern itself with petty details. It deals with things in the lump, and, if it pays for a little more than it gets this time, consoles itself with the thought that it will get a little more than it pays for the next time. I imagine that as our country becomes more thickly settled we shall become more and more a retail nation. Already the East does business in the retail fashion more than the West, and the West is less wholesale than it used to be. Many living men can remember when "two bits," twenty-five cents, was the smallest coin on the Pacific coast. Even now cents are scarce there, and at least a nickel's worth must be purchased when anything is bought. Little by little. as population increases, as competition grows fiercer, and the struggle for existence more strentuous, the retail habilites of the Old World will become acclimated in the New, and Americans very likely will be seen haggling over a cent's worth of greens or "tuppence" worth of bone and gristle, as in the markets of the Old World. SHERWOOD MAKES A SHORT REPLY Says His Last Communication Covered Ground Fully and Has Nothing More to Offer EDITOR GAZETTE:—As Armor seems to object to more than one paper printing my communications, I will make him a proposition. If he will get the permission of the editor of the Orange Post to make that paper the official controversial organ, we will confine our remarks to its columns, and I will argue ad libitum ad infinitum on any subject from the state of the weather to Armor's chances for office this fall, until its last subscriber takes to the woods. With regard to the joint agreement, my last letter, I think stated our position quite fully, and I do not know mala that stretches from sea to sea, that leads us to lump our beefsteak, potatoes, bread and butter and pickles all together as one item? THE REASON. Is it the magnificent distances that our new cities stretch out into that make us willing to pay a nickel and get a cent's worth of street-car ride on the broomstick train?

It deals with things in the lump, and if it pays for a little more than it gets this time, consoles itself with the thought that it will get a little more than it pays for the next time. I imagine that as our country becomes more thickly settled we shall become more and more a retail nation. Already the East does business in the retail fashion more than the West, and the West is less wholesale than it used to be. Many living men can remember when "two bits," twenty-five cents, was the smallest coin on the Pacific coast. Even now cents are scarce there, and at least a nickel's worth must be purchased when anything is bought. Little by little. as population increases, as competition grows fiercer, and the struggle for existence more strentuous, the retail habilites of the Old World will become acclimated in the New, and Americans very likely will be seen haggling over a cent's worth of greens or "tuppence" worth of bone and gristle, as in the markets of the Old World. SHERWOOD MAKES A SHORT REPLY Says His Last Communication Covered Ground Fully and Has Nothing More to Offer EDITOR GAZETTE:—As Armor seems to object to more than one paper printing my communications, I will make him a proposition. If he will get the permission of the editor of the Orange Post to make that paper the official controversial organ, we will confine our remarks to its columns, and I will argue ad libitum ad infinitum on any subject from the state of the weather to Armor's chances for office this fall, until its last subscriber takes to the woods. With regard to the joint agreement, my last letter, I think stated our position quite fully, and I do not know mala that stretches from sea to sea that leads us to lump our beefsteak, potatoes, bread and butter and pickles all together as one item? Is it the magnificent distances that our new cities stretch out into that make us willing to pay a nickel and get a cent's worth of street-car ride on the broomstick train? Or is it the fact that money is easier and wages are higher in America that leads us to count with less particularity和 minuteness the pennies and the dimes? At any rate, the fact remains with its advantages and disadvantages. It is undoubtedly better for the poor man to get just what he pays for. If he does not want to ride a mile he does not have to pay for five. If he can get along without butter on his bread or milk for his coffee he does not have to pay for them，and he does pay for exactly what he has. The retail system is unquestionably a great encourager of economy，and very likely is born ofthe necessity for economy.

With regard to the joint agreement, my last letter, I think, stated our position quite fully, and I do not know that I can add anything to it. If Mr. Armor thinks that a board more subservient to his wishes will be elected next year, as he is reported to have stated in conversation lately, his dilatory tactics may be justified. In addition, I would gently hint on behalf of the board that while his criticlauses of our plans and methods of doing business are duly noted and appreciated, we nevertheless consider ourselves quite competent to carry on our business in any manner we see fit, and if this does not meet with his approval he may lay himself on the table with the joint agreement.
