A WORD FOR THE RIGHT, AND AGAINST THE WRONG Armor Contends that if Sherwood's Constituents Approve of Obstruction, Negotiations Between the Two Companies Must Cease EDITOR GAZETTE:—As usual, Sherwood misrepresents the point intended to be made by a remark. No one cares how many papers he afflicts with his communications, but to assert that he is not going to discuss a subject in the papers and then at once proceed to do so is somewhat inconsistent. Possibly, however, he is really carrying out his assertion, for there certainly is no argument in petty sneers and personal insinuations. Naturally enough, too, he would like to remove such a discussion beyond the hearing of his stockholders; hence his offer to transfer it all to the Orange Post. In any case, a discussion of the weather or of anybody's chances of election next fall would have no relevance to the present disagreement between the companies. Under cover of reporting an alleged conversation, Sherwood charges me with pursuing dilatory tactics until the A. U. W. Co. elects a more serviceable board. The charge is false. As stated in my last article, the A. U. W. Co. is at liberty to call a conference of the two boards whenever it wishes to renew the discussion. The definition of a "conference," given by Congressman Cushman in his famous Cuban reciprocity speech, is as follows: "A conference is a meeting of individuals whose determinations and whose deliberations are controlled by the exercise of free will, guided by intelligence." Such a conference the S. A. V. I. Co. has never refused to take part in, but it respects the proprieties too much to batter against a door that is shut in its face. So far as change in the A. U. W. Co.'s board is concerned, every suggestion to that effect originated with the stockholders of that company, and Sherwood has evidently heard some intimation of such a desire on the part of his constituents when other questions were up, for he makes a similar taunt in his libelous attack upon Kellogg. To me personally it is not of the slightest importance who is put upon the A. U. W. Co.'s board, and to our company RUST OPPOSES INCREASED SALOON LICENSE Trustees Pass the Ordinance, which Goes Into Effect the First of June—No More Gambling. The city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening; present, Schneider, Weisel, Rust and Berdrow; absent, Fletcher. Ordinance No.140, imposing increased licenses for saloons, was called up for final passage. The ordinance raises retail saloon licenses from $10 to $50 per month. Wholesalers are taxed $10 per month, drugstores $4, restaurants $4. At the conclusion of its reading by Clerk Merritt, Rust moved that the licenses be cut in two. Weisel moved that it be adopted as read. Rust moved a substitute that the ordinance take effect July 1st instead of June 1st. He characterized the increased license tax as an injustice to liquor dealers; it took away all their profits, and he thought its enforcement should be put off a month. Berdrow said that all the saloon men expect it to go into immediate effect. He therefore seconded Weisel's motion. There was no second to Rust's amendment, and the chair put the question on Weisel's motion. The same was carried by the following vote: Ayes—Schneider, Weisel, Berdrow; noes—Rust. The board will hold a special meeting Friday evening at which new licenses will be issued. The ordinance committee reported an ordinance prohibiting gambling in town; also one closing billiard and pool rooms and bowling-alleys at midnight; also relating to obstruction of streets, alleys and sidewalks. Each was read the first time and passed to its second reading. L. Nemetz was granted permission to lay an irrigating pipe across the street to furnish water to his property at the corner of Center and Olive streets. Mr. Athearn appeared before the board and asked that the public library be accepted and maintained by the city. He said there were 627 bound CLAY KELLOGG WRITES IN HIS OWN DEFENSE Objects to Being Made the Scapegoat for Sherwood's Accusations SANTA ANA, May 26, 1902. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Mr. Sherwood's letter criticising about all that has been done during the past six months, and attaching the responsibility to me, only contained one idea that is clear, and that is "his belief in one man power." He now assumes to be the whole board of directors, and this "fixed idea" makes him naturally attribute the same power to some one else before he was "it." But as the work done by the company was not under my direction and the control of it was not delegated to me, it is not proper for me to assume all the credit or shoulder all the responsibility. My last letter is sufficiently explicit on the reservoir and outlet ditch. Suffice it to say that pits were sunk on the dam site, as well as holes bored, and as these were inspected by many responsible people I did not suppose any one except Sherwood would question them. I presumed a more exhaustive examination was demanded to discover something overlooked. If the company is to spend money for such work I want to see it done in a thorough and systematic manner. I gave the board all the facts and showed the extent of the investigations made, and I fail to see how they could be misled. I expressed the opinion and still adhere to it that "the conditions were favorable for a good reservoir." I do not know what some of the board expect or require, unless it is a cement or sandstone bottom. My former letter was not for the purpose of making public any troubles of mine, but was confined to answering statements which did not accord with the facts, and I shall confine myself in the same manner in this letter. I am willing to take all the criticism that may be attached to the location of the improvements in Horseshoe Bend from anyone who is familiar with the location and is capable of judging. The whole situation was carefully looked over by the directors, in company with myself and the chief engineer of the Southern California railroad, and all ence the S. A. V. I. Co has never refused to take part in, but it respects the proprieties too much to batter against a door that is shut in its face. So far as change in the A. U. W. Co.'s board is concerned, every suggestion to that effect originated with the stockholders of that company, and Sherwood has evidently heard some intimation of such a desire on the part of his constituents when other questions were up, for he makes a similar taunt in his libelous attack upon Kellogg. To me personally it is not of the slightest importance who is put upon the A. U. W. Co.'s board, and to our company it is of little concern. Whenever men are selected that our company cannot do business with in an honest, straightforward, upright manner, then nothing will be done by or between the two companies, no matter whether I continue on our board or not. If the constituents of the obstructing board approve of its kind of management, then it will be sustained at the election, and co-operation between the companies will cease. If Sherwood doesn't like my views about what he considers private company affairs, he should not thrust such matters into the discussion with his "Quen sabe?" flings. As there is no precedent for a debater's tabling himself, and as Sherwood has failed thus far to administer the coup de grace, I shall continue along the even tenor of my way, putting in a word now and then for the right and against the wrong. From the foregoing comments and the articles which precede them any fair-minded stockholder can readily see the falseness of Sherwood's positions, the unreliability of his statements and the weakness of his defenses. A trite saying reads: "It always strains a person to kick at nothing." I certainly would not spend my time in exposing the utter worthlessness of Sherwood's quips and sneers were it not that some well-disposed but poorly-informed stockholders might be misled thereby. Anyway it can do no harm to let them hear both sides. "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things." Respectfully, S. ARMOR. Test Case. The case of the city of Santa Ana versus Nathan Stephenson, which was some days ago decided against defendant, came up again on motion for a new trial before Judge Freeman and was denied. Fine was fixed at $30. Defendant's counsel filed a bond for an appeal, and it will be carried to the superior court. The case is a test of the ordinance licensing peddlers. Ground of defense is that the license tax of $20 a day is prohibitory and therefore unconstitutional. The ordinance referred to makes specific mention of bananas as an article for the peddling of which $20 a day may be expected. Defendant, a fruit dealer, claims that the enforcement of the ordinance is a direct discrimination against him. Fall in Oranges The fiery untamed steed attached to the wagon belonging to James Doyle became frightened on Monday near the postoffice and started to run away. The rig was filled with oranges which Doyle peddled about town. At Emily street the horse turned toward the schoolhouse. The vehicle collided with McWilliams & Dunn's carpenter shop and was wrecked. The load of oranges was scattered over the street. A troop of school children made a descent upon them, and made short work of them. At noon a quantity of the fruit remained, but a bevy of little girls, gathering up the golden globes by the armful, soon had the street cleared so that traffic could be resumed. Doyle some time ago abandoned his wife and three little children. He was sued for maintenance, but was not convicted. My former letter was not for the purpose of making public any troubles of mine, but was confined to answering statements which did not accord with the facts, and I shall confine myself in the same manner in this letter. I am willing to take all the criticism that may be attached to the location of improvements in Horseshoe Bend from anyone who is familiar with the location and is capable of judging. The whole situation was carefully looked over by the directors, in company with myself and the chief engineer of the Southern California railroad, and all were satisfied with the line except Mr. Sherwood, who suggested some changes which I examined and found they would not improve the line or cheapen it. The specifications were carefully considered and adopted by the board, and the contract was made by them. Mr. Sherwood had ample opportunity to make any alteration or suggestion that might add to the protection of the company. A penalty clause was put in the contract, but the company in taking possession of the ditch to run water made it impossible to enforce this provision. All further arrangements in regard to the running of water were made by mutual agreement between the board of directors and the contractor. The contract called for Colton cement to be used subject to the test and approval of the engineer. One carload of cement came which was too green, setting too quickly. I had this set aside and some of it was used after it became sufficiently cured to meet the requirements. No poor cement was used, as the ditch will show. There was but one place to locate the gate at Fill 2, and that was at the canyon. I did not make any change in the plans of the gate. A change was made in my original plan to put a culvert under the gate, on the recommendation of the ditch committee. This did not accord with my judgment, as the following letter written at the time will show: SANTA ANA, Mar. 10, 1902. H. HALE, Chairman of Ditch Committee—Dear Sir: I send herewith a sketch of the ground at the location for proposed culvert at Fill 2, showing profile of the bottom of the canyon, as I believe it is a mistake in putting it in. I was there on Monday and ran the levels and found the culvert would come entirely below the bottom of the canyon, and intended to write to the ditch committee then, but got Mr. Porter to see you instead. But as he told me today you wanted him to go ahead anyway, I deem it my duty to show you how the ground lays, as I am positive that it will be buried first time there is any flow down the canyon. That is the way culverts have always acted on that canal where they were below the natural grade plane of the country. The debris is so heavy that it will first fill up the 180 feet of level ditch below, and then the culvert. When the Cajon canal was first built culverts were put in altogether, but they were found impracticable. If you thought the gate unsafe a chute would be 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 fault with the manner of doing the work (although it could be done better) I do think the gravel (if it could be so Kind Words from "Home" The Daily Huronite of Huron, S. D., has the following to say concerning the candidacy of E. T. Langley, who was formerly of that place: E. T. Langley, for many years a resident of Huron and a member of the Beadle county bar, is a candidate for district attorney of Orange county, Cal., with bright prospects of success. It affords the Huronite pleasure to learn of Mr. Langley's success in his chosen profession in his new home in the Golden state. During his long residence in this city he won the respect of the entire community, and was one of the ablest members of the Beadle county bar when it boasted of such men as Melville, Sterling, Crofoot and Cooper. Mr. Langley was associated with A. B. Melville in the practice of law during the latter days of his Huron residence, and was engaged in many legal battles throughout the Fifth circuit and in other portions of the state. As a lawyer he was very successful, and as a Christian gentleman was highly esteemed by all. If the good people of Orange county exercise the part of wisdom in choosing a legal advisor, they will nominate and elect our old townman. All the Huronite can do is to wish him success at the polls. Concert The ladies' aid of the Presbyterian church will give a concert at the opera house the evening of Friday, June 6th. An interesting program is being arranged. Proceeds go the benefit of the church. The ladies' guild of St. Michael's will meet with Mrs. William Hill Thursday, June 5th.

ROGG WRITES THIS OWN DEFENSE Made the Scapegoat for God's Accusations STA ANA, May 26, 1902. LETTE:—Mr. Sherwood's long about all that has taught the past six months, the responsibility to me, one idea that is clear, this belief in one man now assumes to be the of directors, and this makes him naturally at some power to some one he was "it." But as the company was not unison and the control of it rated to me, it is not to assume all the credit for the responsibility. It is sufficiently explicit and outlet ditch. Suffat pits were sunk on the well as holes bored, and as expected by many respond did not suppose any one good would question them. More exhaustive examinand to discover some-den. If the company is to for such work I want to be thorough and systeme-I gave the board all showed the extent of the made, and I fail to see it misled. I expressed still adhere to it that sons were favorable for a-"I do not know what board expect or require, cement or sandstone botter was not for the purging public any troubles of us confined to answering which did not accord with I shall confine myself in inner in this letter. to take all the criticism attached to the location of events in Horseshoe Bend who is familiar with the is capable of judging.ation was carefully looked directors, in company with the chief engineer of the California railroad, and all better was not for the purging public any troubles of us confined to answering which did not accord with I shall confine myself in inner in this letter. or accepting any proposition placed before him, and is supposed to consider all the advice placed before him without prejudice. I entered my protest in good faith to those in authority. I was not called on to examine the outlet pipe of the reservoir. I was instructed to set the grades for the outlet ditch and plan the effluent box. In connecting the box to the outlet pipe I advised that a 24 inch pipe be used, in order to give more room for embankment in case it should ever be considered necessary to raise the dam. This pipe could have been taken out without breaking. In making the improvements later on the dam and outlet pipe I was informed that the pipe was already broken by reason of the dirt not having been properly tamped around the pipe. Not having anything to do with the construction I cannot speak from personal knowledge. The box and wier were never completed according to the plan. By placing flashboards on top of the water to break the force from the discharge pipe the wier can be made effective. The wier crest is on a level with the bottom of the discharge pipe, and the said discharge is 42 inches high, while a depth of 20 inches on the wier will fill the ditch with a flow of 2000 inches, showing that the top of the water on the wier would not come above the middle of the pipe. The limited storm water above the outlet ditch will not damage it when completed; the damage done was to partially constructed works. The drop is the same as the old wooden drop, the only trouble being the sides were not built high enough at the lower end. This can be easily remedied. The land running south from the west end slopes one foot to the 100 feet, while the ditch has a grade of 2-10 per 100 feet. Continuing this grade to the first outlet the ditch would be above the top of the ground. The ditch was put exactly on old bottom for economy and to preserve a uniform grade. I had absolutely nothing to do with the Sparks ditch. My opinion has never been asked as to the location of distributing ditches. I was asked to set the grade stakes; being busy, I sent an assistant. I instructed him to take the levels on the highest points of the land adjoining the ditch, and from a profile of the same located the grade (as I always do) so as to bring the top of the ditch five inches above these OBSEVATION OF MEMORIAL DAY Program of Exercises to Be Observed at Anaheim and Fullerton Tomorrow. Decoration day will be observed in time-honored custom by Malvern Hill post and corps going to the graves and decorating at the Anaheim cemetery tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. The committee in charge request school children of Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia to gather flowers for the purpose of decorating the graves.

NEWPORT BEACH SOLD TO SYNDICATE Los Angeles and Eastern Capitalists Interested — Many Improvements Contemplated. C. L. Hanson, a Los Angeles capitalist, and W. S. Collins of Riverside are associated in an enterprise that has aborted Newport Beach. The deal was closed some days ago and possession has passed to the purchasers. In the new syndicate are said to be several wealthy New Yorkers. The Newport Wharf and Lumber company was former owner of the holdings that have been transferred. The transfer includes the hotel warehouse, cottages and all holding of the Newport Wharf and Lumber company at the beach, covering 88 acres of land of the resort which is protected by a United States patent. The purchase price is withheld for the present, but is known to be above $6000, which amount had been refused for the property. Men and teams will be put won at once grading the streets of the town new cottages will be erected, and a gift and electric plant and water are among the improvements contented. Newport Beach is already a resort considerable prominence, and in summer has a population varying from 500 to 1000. Under the impetus of new company the place will certainly occupy a place among the foremost resorts of Southern California. C. L. Hanson, head of the syndicacies is a well-known oil operator who works among the original promoters of the Beaumont field, and is at Newport tending to the transfer of the property.
