DEATH OF JAMES W. LANDELL One of the Oldest and Most Highly Respected Residents of Orange County. James W. Landell breathed his last at his home in Buena Park at half-past 5 o'clock on Friday afternoon. He had been ill during several weeks. In his death the county loses one of its oldest and most highly esteemed citizens. He had lived in this section since 1874, and numbered his friends in every section of Southern California. The funeral occurred on Sunday morning. The remains found a last resting-place in the cemetery here. Many friends testified to the friendship felt for deceased, the cortege being attended by many representative citizens of the county. Deceased was born in Philadelphia January 28, 1838, and was educated in that city. He entered the shipping business on leaving school, and was engaged in the East India trade until the death of his father, who was president of the Kensington bank, Philadelphia. He then commenced the building of engines and heavy machinery. He built the machinery for Cramp's first ship-building plant, and also the first plant for Henry Disston's saw factory. Many of the boilers and engines of the first ironclads in the navy came from his shops. He was intimately acquainted with Griscon, Elkins, Chas. Cramp and many others of the present shipping world. He was a charter member of the Philadelphia Union League Club, and also was a member of the New York Union League. He married Sallie Moore, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Hughes, in 1865. They had six children, five of whom survive, viz., Frank Landell of Newhall, John Landell of Capistrano, Margaret Hargreaves of Fallbrook, Charles and Gilbert Landell of Buena Park. Deceased came to California in 1874 for throat trouble, which was the eventual cause of his death. He lived on his ranch at Buena Park until 1899. He was taken ill with grippe in January. He partially recovered, but afterward gradually failed, until eight weeks ago he took to his bed. He was cheerful and bright during his last illness, and never uttered a complaint during the time he was ill. Friday morning he fell asleep, and died very quietly and peacefully at half-past 5 o'clock that afternoon. All LOCAL IRRIGATING SYSTEMS A Government Bulletin Giving a History of the Two Home Water Companies—Favorable Mention We are in receipt of an interesting document from the department of agriculture at Washington, relating to the two valley water companies. Its author is J. Garnett Holmes. We quote from it as follows: The earliest canal in this section of which there is any authentic record is the Yorba ditch, which was built by Bernardo Yorba in 1835, Mr. Yorba being at that time sole owner of the rancho Canyon de Santa Ana. Two other ditches were also constructed by him about this time, but in a flood of 1862 all three of these ditches were destroyed. After this destruction the present Yorba ditch, based upon the rights of the old ones, was constructed. This ditch has the oldest water-rights on the river, and such rights are respected by the owners of the other ditches. It irrigates only about 600 acres of land and carries on an average 450 inches of water. A few years after the Yorba ditch was built the Kraemer ditch was constructed, its purpose being to irrigate that part of the rancho San Juan y Cajon de Santa Ana known as the Kraemer tract. After the construction of the Anaheim ditch the Kraemer received its water through the head works of this canal. When the western companies were finally consolidated into the Anaheim Union Water company, this ditch received twenty shares of non-assessable stock as a recognition of its prior rights. In 1856 the organization generally known as the Anaheim colony was formed in San Francisco, under the name of the Los Angeles Vineyard association. The association secured 1161 acres of land from the Rancho San Juan y Cajon de Santa Ana, with water-rights based on the riparian rights of this ranch, and with additional water-rights purchased from the owners of the rancho Canyon de Santa Ana, which was also riparian to the river. In 1857 the first ditch of this company was dug and enough water diverted to irrigate the 1161-acre tract. At first there was no separata incorporated water company, but in 1859 the Anaheim Water company was incorporated. The stock was divided into 50 shares, and was appurtenement to 50 lots of the Los Angeles Vineyard associatio... Deceased came to California in 1874 for throat trouble, which was the eventual cause of his death. He lived on his ranch at Buena Park until 1899. He was taken ill with gripe in January. He partially recovered, but afterward gradually failed, until eight weeks ago he took to his bed. He was cheerful and bright during his last illness, and never uttered a complaint during the time he was ill. Friday morning he fell asleep, and died very quietly and peacefully at half-past 5 o'clock that afternoon. All of the family were present at his death. Rev. Corbin of Buena Park conducted the funeral services. Deceased filled for years the responsible position of justice of the peace of this township. He was esteemed by all who knew him, and his death is sincerely regretted by all. Obituary The remains of Mrs. Mathilde Lange were consigned to their last resting place in the cemetery on Thursday morning, June 26th. She had arrived here in company of her son, Charles Lange, some days previously from San Diego county. She was attracted here in search for health, which is also true with reference to her son. She breathed her last at the Commercial hotel on Tuesday of last week, and the funeral was from the undertaking rooms of F. Backs. Although almost a complete stranger here, the funeral was attended by many friends, and the offering of floral emblems was profuse. Mr. Lange desires us to express his heartfelt thanks to those whose kindness and sympathy were such a solace to him in the time of his bereavement. The attendance of friends at the funeral touched him deeply, and he wants to thank all for offerings of flowers. Rev. Kohlenberger conducted the burial services. Mr. Lange will reside on the Darling place at West Anaheim, which he and his mother purchased shortly after their arrival here. He is recently from Texas, having sailed with his mother from Germany early in the year. He spent a short time in San Diego county, but being dissatisfied came to Orange county, and as soon as he saw this valley decided to locate. In the death of his mother he has sympathy of all with whom he has come in contact. Land and Water Values The State of California is particularly alive to the value latent in its running streams. This is largely due to the object lesson presented in the remarkable increase in land values and productive capacity of sections where the water supply has been intelligently utilized. Several thousand dollars were raised by private subscription for a thorough investigation of the supply to be obtained from certain watersheds in the State, and the subscribing organizations made application to the hydrographic branch of the United States Geological Survey acres of land from the Rancho San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana, with water rights based on the riparian rights of this ranch, and with additional water-rights purchased from the owners of the rancho Canyon de Santa Ana, which was also riparian to the river. In 1857 the first ditch of this company was dug and enough water diverted to irrigate the 1161-acre tract. At first there was no separate incorporated water company, but in 1859 the Anaheim Water company was incorporated. The stock was divided into 50 shares, and was appurtened to 50 lots of the Los Angeles Vineyard association. In 1878 the Anaheim Water company purchased a half interest in the Cajon Irrigation company's ditch, which was then in process of construction. A flume about 7000 feet long was constructed the following year, connecting the Anaheim with the Cajon canal. For several years the Anaheim received all of its water in dry seasons from the Cajon, but this joint use of the same canal led to friction. In 1882, pending the decision of the courts, the Anaheim constructed what was known as the Anaheim New canal, tapping the river at a point almost opposite the Santa Ana canal on the south side and thus getting a permanent supply. The Anaheim Union is the company that now supplies the Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia districts with water. Since this union was effected great improvement has taken place in the service of the company. The main ditch, where it flows over the sandiest portion of its course, has been cemented for two miles at a cost of $4 per linear foot. This greatly augments the amount of water that formerly reached the district. The company also has 33 miles of cement laterals and distribution ditches, which cost from 25 cents to $1.50 per linear foot. The rates charged for water are decided upon from month to month by the board of directors, being more when the water is scarce than when the supply more than meets the demand. For the year 1889 the rates were, for 100 inches one hour, during January, February, November and December, 30 cents; for March, 40 cents; for April and October, 50 cents; for June, July and August, 80 cents; for September, 60 cents. At this rate it costs about $4 per year per acre to irrigate walnut orchards and $6 per acre for irrigating orange trees and alfalfa. A list of prices is prepared for the filling of cisterns, watering of stock, sprinkling of lawns, etc. Except for the small amount diverted by the Yorba canal, the Anaheim Union now has one-half of the water of the lower Santa Ana river. Its main head-gate and that of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company are situated on opposite sides of the river, so that one dam is all that is necessary for the two. No permanent dam has been put in, only a brush dam, which is washed out in time of flood and again replaced when the water subsides. Irrigation on the south side of the Santa Ana began with the Semi-Tropical Water company, formed in 1873. This was solely a water-supplying com- Chino will get beets about as follows: Compton and Florence...40,000 Orange and Norwalk...35,000 Chino...15,000 Total...90,000 About $400,000 will be paid the beet-growers by the Chino factory. The yield per acre in the dry land is discouraging, hence the sugar company has extended its fields to the damp lands of Compton and the peat district of Orange county. A beet-dump is being erected at Norwalk and another will be put up at Newland. This will make five in all to handle the crop. There is already one at Buena Park, one at Benedict and one at the West End. CHANGES IN RURAL DELIVERY Persons Living on or Near a Route May Provide Suitable Boxes and Have Their Mail Delivered The second assistant postmaster-general has issued a circular letter directing that certain necessary changes be made in contracts for carrying mails on rural routes. Carriers are required under the new ruling to deliver mail into all boxes, and hang small bags or satchels containing mail on posts or cranes that may be erected along the line of the route, under the following regulations of the department: Any person living on or near the route and not within the corporate limits of any town or within 80 rods of any postoffice, who desires his mail deposited at a given point on the line of the route by the carrier, may provide and erect a suitable box or crane on the roadside located in such manner as to be reached as conveniently as practicable by the carrier without dismounting from the vehicle or horse, and such person shall file with the postmaster at the postoffice at which his mail is addressed (which shall be one of two postoffices on the route on either side of and next to the box or crane) a request in writing for the delivery of his mail to the carrier for deposit at the designated point, at the risk of the addressee. The small bag or satchel above described, as well as the box or crane, must be provided by the person for whose use it is intended without expense to the department. It shall be the duty of the postmaster at every such postoffice, upon a written order from any person living on or near the route, to deliver to the mail carrier for that route any mail matter—placing in the respective satchels where such are used, the mail for the persons to whom such satchels belong—with instructions as to the proper mail box or crane at which said mail matter shall be deposited. The department does not prescribe any particular design of box or satchel to be used for this service, but the person providing either should see to it that it is of such character as to afford ample protection to his mail. If there is a lock attached to the box, a key is not to be held by the carrier, as he is expected to deposit the mail without the necessity of unlocking the box. The box or crane should be so located on the roadside that the carrier Land and Water Values The State of California is particularly alive to the value latent in its running streams. This is largely due to the object lesson presented in the remarkable increase in land values and productive capacity of sections where the water supply has been intelligently utilized. Several thousand dollars were raised by private subscription for a thorough investigation of the supply to be obtained from certain watersheds in the State, and the subscribing organizations made application to the hydrographic branch of the United States Geological Survey for careful measurements of flow and other investigations relative to the existing conditions of forestry and topography upon three typical watersheds. As a result of these studies, conducted by J. B. Lippincott, hydrographer of the Geological Survey in California, it was found possible to obtain an annual output of nearly 650,000 acre-feet of water, or enough to cover annually an area of that extent to a depth of one foot; the estimated cost of installed capacity being about $8 per acre-foot. The water would be obtained from storage reservoirs and from pumping plants to be operated electrically by power generated by the neighboring streams. It is believed that the addition to the resources of the State of this amount of water for irrigation purposes would be sufficient to support an additional 100,000 people, and would add in farm values fully $10,000,000 to the taxable property of the State, irrespective of the increase in town and city property which would of necessity follow. CANDIDATES, YOUR EAR! The Republican county central committee has issued notices to all candidates of the party, instructing them that under the provisions of the Crawford system of primaries, under which the party is now operating, all candidates must announce themselves, together with depositing the necessary fee, with the committee, not later than the 10th inst. Otherwise their names will not be placed upon the primary ballot. This applies to all candidates, including justices and constables. Irrigation on the south side of the Santa Ana began with the Semi-Tropical Water company, formed in 1873. This was solely a water-supplying company, owning no land, but simply selling water for irrigation purposes. This company diverted water without the consent of the owners of the rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, who claimed that by their original grant and riparian rights they were entitled to half of the water of the Santa Ana. In 1877 a suit occurred between the Semi-Tropical and Anaheim Union companies that was carried to the United States supreme court, where the decision of the lower court, which had decided in favor of the Anaheim Union, was reversed, and an equal division of the water advised. This advice was followed, and since that time, 1883, no friction has occurred. In 1877 the present corporation was formed—the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company. It immediately acquired all of the interests of the Semi-Tropic company, and it is the irrigation company which provides all the water east and south of the Santa Ana river. While nearly all Southern California has been suffering for water during the last two or three years, this company has had sufficient instead of the price of water advancing, as it has in nearly every other section, it has been diminished. Before the dry season the ditch had to be kept up and employee's salaries paid, and all the water was not sold, and the consequence is that it costs less to irrigate than it did in seasons of greater rainfall. During the past year, under the Santa Ana Irrigation company's works, it costs but $1 per year to irrigate walnut orchards and $1.75 for orange orchards and alfalfa. This is somewhat less than the cost of irrigating similar lands on the other side of persons to whom such satchels belong—with instructions as to the proper mail box or crane at which said mail matter shall be deposited. The department does not prescribe any particular design of box or satchel to be used for this service, but the person providing either should see to it that it is of such character as to afford ample protection to his mail. If there is a lock attached to the box, a key is not to be held by the carrier, as he is expected to deposit the mail without the necessity of unlocking the box. The box or crane should be so located on the roadside that the carrier can deposit the mail without leaving his vehicle or horse, and yet not where it will obstruct public travel. The carrier is not required to collect mail from the boxes, but there is no objection to his doing so if it does not interfere with his making the schedule time. The law provides that every carrier of the mail shall receive any mail matter presented to him if properly prepaid by stamps, and deliver the same for mailing at the next post office at which he arrives, but that no fees shall be allowed him therefor. Sale of Oranges Word has been received of some large prices attained in the New York market for Valencia oranges shipped by C. C. Chapman. The fruit was the well-known Old Mission Brand. Forty-six boxes sold for from $4.62 to $7.75 per box, an average of $6.97 for the lot; and a lot of 140 Old Mission Sweets sold for from $3 to $5.37 per box, an average of $4.62 per box. The fruit came from the San Yabel ranch in Placentia. Cement Pipe Address for particulars H. H. Gardner, Orange. which is partly due to the porous nature of the soil on the side. This company has miles of ditch, including lat-distributing ditches, and 26 bails is cemented, at a cost of $1.50 per foot.

There is already FARM LABOR GROWS SCARCE Advanced Prices Offering on Account of Heavy Deciduous Crop—Weather Conditions Favorable Warm weather has prevailed in all parts of the state during the week, and in some sections the temperature has been considerably above normal a portion of the time. Fogs have prevailed along the coast and light showers have fallen in the extreme south. Grain harvest is in progress in all sections. In the Sacramento valley the yield of wheat and barley is above average. In portions of the San Joaquin valley the crop is turning out better than expected, but is light in the southern districts, and in Southern California there is a fair crop in some sections, while in others the grain is being cut for hay. The grain is generally of superior quality. Haying is practically completed, except the last crop of alfalfa, and baling is in progress. The yield is heavy in all except the southern districts and the quality above average. Hops, sugar beets, beans and corn are doing well. Pas-turage is plentiful in most places. Grasshoppers have caused some damage, though not as much as anticipated. Fires have destroyed several hundred acres of grain. Deciduous fruits have matured rapidly during the week, and nearly all varieties are in market. With few exceptions, the yield will be above average. Owing to the scarcity of labor, even at advanced wages, much fruit is decaying on the trees, and orchardists are fearing a considerable loss. Grapes, walnuts and citrus fruits are in good condition. In the Sacramento valley continued warm weather has been beneficial to grain and fruit. High winds at the close of the week probably caused some damage to fruit. Grain harvest is progressing in all sections; the yield is fully up to expectations and the quality excellent. Grasshoppers are not causing much damage to grain. Fires have destroyed several hundred acres of grain in Butte county. Hay baling is progressing; the crop is above average. The second crop of alfalfa is being harvested. Hops are doing well. Deciduous fruits are ripening rapidly, and there will be a heavy yield in nearly all varieties. Oranges are dropping in some localities. Grapes are in excellent condition and a large crop is expected. There is a scarcity of farm labor. ITEMS ROUNDABOUT TOWN Baseball The Boys in Blue defeated Loara at baseball on the Lemon street grounds on Sunday by a score of 24 to 7. The West Enders started in with a rush, tallying three runs in the first. In the sixth inning the score stood 7 to 7. The town boys regained their batting eye and fell upon Loara's pitcher with a vengeance, so much so that when the game ended the score stood as narrated at the beginning of this chapter. Unfortunately the score was not properly kept, so we are unable to present it. The game was the fifteenth straight victory for the Boys in Blue. They play with Olive on the home grounds on Sunday afternoon. Encampment Capt. Ahlborn informs us that the First brigade will go into encampment between the dates of the 1st and 10th of September. The place of meeting will be determined later. Company E will go into camp along with the rest of the boys. Canard Supervisor Potter while at Santa Ana on Tuesday was informed that a rumor was sneaking around the southern section of the county to the effect that he had rolled up his sleeve and sailed into certain candidates with the purpose of putting their eye out. Mr. Potter is himself a candidate for treasurer of the county, has no opponent and is tending to his own knitting. The rumor is merely a canard—we believe that is the proper name for it; only that and nothing more. Nobody believes it. Returned W. W. Manter who a number of years ago conducted a meat market in this city, but since that time has been east, has recently returned and purchased a tract of land south of Mr. Rea at Katella. Mr. Manter came here from Riverside, and is persuaded that he has located in the best valley on earth. He will set the land to walnuts and other trees and make extensive improvements.

Grain harvest is progressing in all sections; the yield is fully up to expectations and the quality excellent. Grasshoppers are not causing much damage to grain. Fires have destroyed several hundred acres of grain in Butte county. Hay baling is progressing; the crop is above average. The second crop of alfalfa is being harvested. Hops are doing well. Deciduous fruits are ripening rapidly, and there will be a heavy yield in nearly all varieties. Oranges are dropping in some localities. Grapes are in excellent condition and a large crop is expected. There is a scarcity of labor in the fruit districts. In the San Joaquin valley the weather has been slightly cooler than during the preceding week, but favorable for all crops. Grain harvest is progressing. In some sections the yield of wheat and barley is better than anticipated and the quality is excellent. Grasshoppers are still causing some damage in places, but many localities have not yet been visited. The third crop of alfalfa is lighter than usual, but of good quality. Haying is nearly completed. There is a large acreage of Egyptian corn in Tulare and Kern counties. Green feed is plentiful in most places and stock are in good condition. Apricot drying and canning are progressing. All deciduous fruits except pears are in good condition and maturing rapidly. Vineyards and citrus fruits continue thrifty. Abnormally hot weather prevailed at the beginning of the week, followed by cooler, cloudy weather, with fogs along the coast and light showers in the extreme south. It is reported that grapes and early deciduous fruits were slightly injured by heat. Apricots are ripening slowly, but will be large and of good quality; the yield will be less than average. Other deciduous fruits are in good condition, but maturing slowly. Walnuts and citrus fruits are doing well. Haying is nearly completed and baling has commenced. Grain harvest is progressing slowly and the crop is generally light. Sugar beets and beans are in fair condition. Committee Meeting Messrs. Armor and Nisson of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company were in town on Saturday in consultation with Messrs. Sherwood and Bradford of the Anaheim Union Water company for the regular monthly conference of the litigation committees of both companies. The meeting was in executive session, and the argus-eyed reporter was unable to catch on to what happened, but Mr. Armor and Mr. Sherwood were observed to bow to one another quite pleasantly on the sidewalk after the meeting was over. New Voting Precinct Voters of Olinda have a petition out to be presented to the Supervisors asking the establishment of a new voting precinct to be known as Olinda. The boundaries include the Santa Fe oil wells and extend westly to Brea canyon. There are 200 voters in the proposed precinct. The Supervisors will without doubt grant the petition. Cottage Burned Mrs. Tombes' cottage on Placentia avenue, a short distance north of her residence, was destroyed by fire on Monday evening. The place was unoccupied. Mrs. Tombes was at home entertaining friends at the time the fire was discovered. Mr. Berkenkent, who was on his way to sit up with Mr. McFadden, passed along the avenue a short time before the fire started. He noticed a light in the cottage, but thought nothing of it, believing that some one had moved into it. The cottage was entirely destroyed. Loss nominal. Malicious Mischief Word was brought into town on Saturday afternoon by George Hagar that some miscreant had fired a shot into the county's water tank a mile and a half south of town. Roadmaster Norman was notified of the matter and proceeded thither and repaired it. The county will pay a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator. MET AN OLD FRIEND M. S. Davis, candidate for the Republican nomination for county school superintendent, met an old friend yesterday in the person of Mr. Spake, whom he ran across at his residence on Broadway. Both were boys together back in Iowa, and were raised within a half mile of one another. Recognition was mutual. The old friends shook hands heartily, and spent a very happy afternoon together. Democrats The Democratic county central committee met at Santa Ana on Saturday and decided to hold primaries August 12th and the convention August 16th. The convention will consist of seventy-five delegates. County officers will placed in nomination and delegates to the state and congressional conventions selected. Corona Pleads Not Guilty Carlos Corona was brought into superior court on Monday to answer to his arraignment of grand larceny. He pleaded "not guilty." His trial was set for Wednesday, July 9th. Corona is charged with rolling a drunk at Los Alamitos and rifling his pockets of $20. Clyde Bishop has been retained to defend him. Corona is in jail. Supervisors The board of supervisors met on Tuesday. The greater portion of the day was taken up in auditing regular demands upon the treasury. Mrs. James Doyle of this city was years ago conducted a meat market in this city, but since that time has been east, has recently returned and purchased a tract of land south of Mr. Rea at Katella. Mr. Manter came here from Riverside, and is persuaded that he has located in the best valley on earth. He will set the land to walnuts and other trees and make extensive improvements.

New High School District Petitions are being circulated in the districts of Garden Grove, Westminster, Alamitos and Bolsa asking for the formation of a new high school district. The petitions are being numerously signed, and probably an election will be called to take the sense of the voters upon the proposition. Orange county is coming to be quite an educational center. It is doubtful if any county in the state has better school facilities. Marriages R. C. Adams of Los Angeles and Miss Etta Clark of Santa Ana were married at the M.E. parsonage in the latter place.
