YORBA RESERVOIR HAS PLAIN SAILING Mr. Sherwood Talks as Though He Really Would Permit the Board to Build It After All Four large maps of the Yorba reservoir, drawn by Mr. Sherwood, lay in front of that gentleman upon the directors' table at the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon. They served as an attest to that gentleman's recently acquired notion that the reservoir is a pretty good thing. Under reports from committees, Sherwood explained his map showing the route of the new outlet ditch from the reservoir to the main county road. The precise location of the outlet would depend, he said, upon what terms can be made with property owners along the line therefor. This outlet ditch is on altogether different lines from that recommended by former Engineer Kellogg, who took the ground that the location was in the channel of the river's overflow, and therefore subject to submersion and destruction at the first freshet. The Kellogg route was purchased by the company when the site for the reservoir was acquired by the old board. Sherwood said that in his opinion there was no danger from overflow on his route. His ditch was 2600 feet shorter than Kellogg's and would save the company five or six thousand dollars in the cost of its construction. The company had, he said, gone to an expense of several thousand dollars in straightening out curves on the main ditch, and he proposed for one in future to see that no such sources of expense were repeated. The country on the line of his proposed outlet ditch, he said, showed no evidences of recent overflow. The land was covered with cactus and brush. He recommended it as the route to be selected, and urged that the committee in charge of reservoir affairs (himself and Zeyn) be given authority to proceed to acquiring the necessary rights of way. Mr. Crowther said if Sherwood had seen the country in 1884, when the route suggested by him for the outlet ditch was covered to a depth of eighteen inches with water, perhaps he would not favor it. Mr. Bradford took the same grounderty-owners on line of ditch are secured to agreement to comply with the rules in such cases made and provided—do the team work, backfill, etc. Further time was asked for the crossing on West street, to give committee time to find out what parties in interest intend doing. The sides of the East-street ditch he reported had been raised from Sycamore street to Broadway. As to the overshoot on upper ditch he asked for further time. The Superintendent was instructed to continue the raising of the sides of the East-street ditch as far south as Santa Ana street. Supt. Porter reported that Almes had informed him he was going ahead and put in his own ditch, for which permission was recently granted him by the supervisors. Almes, he said, was on his ear about something. The Baxter ditch at Fullerton was ordered cemented as soon as parties comply with the rule about cementing. The board discussed the laying of a pipe line through the Placentia school grounds. A letter from one of the school trustees bearing in some mysterious manner upon the subject was passed around among the members and handed to Crowther, himself a trustee of the district. He read it, sniffed his nose, turned it around to see what was on the back of it and said he wouldn't sign it. The matter went over without action. The measurement committee was instructed to go ahead and have measuring devices in gates wherever practicable. Mr. Parrett to be in charge of the work. Zeyn reported on the share and a half of stock owned by E. W. Champlin, and recommended that $40 be paid him for his interest therein. The recommendation was adopted and the matter referred to Attorney Melrose for final settlement. John Christian wrote saying ditch supplying his place on South Los Angeles street was in bad condition and a great amount of water was lost in it every time he irrigated. The ditch ran through private property, and the owners thereof (who are ladies) refuse to grant him permission to enter upon their land for the purpose of repairing it. Whatever was this poor man to do? The board referred the matter to Supt. WONDERFUL PHENOMENA AT CITY HALL Clerk Merritt Notes Presence of Hallstones on His Table—Sees Lightning's Livid Flash—Roof Will Be Fixed The city trustees held a short meeting on Tuesday evening; present, Trustees Schneider, Rust, Berdrow and Fletcher. Mr. Fletcher has been absent for some weeks at Long Beach, but returned some days ago to remain at his home here. Trustee Rust, reporting for the Finance committee, said that bills against the city had been audited to the extent of $125 47. Trustee Berdrow of the Committee on Public Improvements reported progress in oiling city streets. Nothing was reported from the Ordinance committee. The library ordinance again went over, pending a legal transfer from those having an interest therein, as well as from Mr. Athearn, who advised the board at a previous meeting that the library was his individual property. The trustees have agreed to appropriate $25 a month for the library's support, but desire to acquire legal possession of the same before accepting it as a public library. Rust reported in the matter of the purchase of the two lots adjoining the city power house and belonging to the Catholic church, that disposal of same rested with Mr. Everhardy, and as that gentleman was absent at the springs nothing had been accomplished toward acquiring the property. Committee continued. The board took up the matter of the city board of equalization, and after discussion decided to meet as such body August 11th. Clerk Merritt reported that T. A. Darling had written him that resident engineer Swain of the Southern Pacific had advised him that the company's engines had taken water from the city pipe at Loara during the month of June to the extent of 24,424 gallons, and asking that a bill be rendered therefor. The board discussed the failure of the railroad company to erect a tank at the point indicated, as it had agreed pense were repeated. The country on the line of his proposed outlet ditch, he said, showed no evidences of recent overflow. The land was covered with cactus and brush. He recommended it as the route to be selected, and urged that the committee in charge of reservoir affairs (himself and Zeyn) be given authority to proceed to acquiring the necessary rights of way. Mr. Crowther said if Sherwood had seen the country in 1884, when the route suggested by him for the outlet ditch was covered to a depth of eighteen inches with water, perhaps he would not favor it. Mr. Bradford took the same ground. He had seen the route suggested by Sherwood inundated with water in '84, and he doubted not it would be similarly overflowed at the first heavy rainfall. Sherwood insisted his route was the proper one, and to a direct question by Crowther made answer that in his opinion there was not the remotest possibility of the outlet ditch being overflowed at the point selected by him for it. Upon this representation of the case the board subsequently voted the committee authority to proceed with securing right of way. Hale, Smith and Zayn did not participate in the discussion. Sheppard was not present. Sherwood, continuing the discussion of the subject which has lately come to look so good to him, said he had constructed a map showing the plotted sections of the dam line, which he raised ten feet higher than Kellogg's. He had prepared plans and specifications for the dam, so that the whole structure could be passed upon by an expert to be employed for the purpose by the company. Kellogg's plans and specifications, he said, he had found to be all right, but he favored the employment of an expert to pass upon the work before beginning construction. The board after discussion of the subject, during which Bradford said he should oppose employment of Lippincott, voted authority to the same committee to go to Los Angeles and consult with Fred Eaton in reference to the matter. Sherwood said if the company was going to build the Yorba reservoir it was time the board was making preparations to secure the necessary funds to do it with. He suggested that a meeting be called of a number of leading stockholders to act as an advisory committee to the board, and to meet at a date in the near future and discuss a plan for rebonding the company. Hale said the indebtedness of the company was insignificant compared to its resources, but he thought the stockholders would object to issuing any more bonds unless the proceeds were set apart for some specific purpose. If the reservoir is going to be built the Cajon ditch has got to be enlarged. The company would need upwards of a hundred thousand dollars to make these improvements, but he thought the stockholders would stand for it provided the money was set apart for the purposes intended for it. Otherwise not. John Christian wrote saying ditch supplying his place on South Los Angeles street was in bad condition and a great amount of water was lost in it every time he irrigated. The ditch ran through private property, and the owners thereof (who are ladies) refuse to grant him permission to enter upon their land for the purpose of repairing it. Whatever was this poor man to do? The board referred the matter to Supt. Porter, he being a good-looking feller and a lady-killer from away back. Secretary Krick reported that the half-yearly interest on the Durkee note was due July 23d. Amount of note, $50,000; company's share of interest, $1000. Original note, $70,000; paid on same, $20,000. Action of president and secretary in drawing warrant in sum of $1256 05 in favor of Damron, final payment for work done in the Bend, and one of $25 in payment of claim of Anderson for damages. Approved. The matter of the Kroeger-Allee pipe line was referred to the ditch committee, with power to settle the long-standing imbroglio. Sherwood—Zanjeros report that boys go in bathing in the reservoir. They say Col. Tuffree gives them permission to do so. The superintendent will see it that these little shavers are arrested and punished. Hale said there is a state law prohibiting bathing in reservoirs. He wished the practice could be broken up. Boys also bathe in the ditches. They have ropes attached to bridges and when the zanjero comes along they dart under them, clinging to the rope. Porter said the other morning he shooed 27 kids out of the ditch by actual count. Zanjero Brunworth was given a vacation of ten days. His place is being taken by George Treffern. Candidates The town has been overrun with candidates during the week, and yet none of the citizens have announced their intention of breaking for timber Although they say they are glad the cruel war will soon be over. Among those in town were Frank Vegely and Robert Flook, both of them with a cinch on the assessor's office, with Yount to hear from. For sheriff, Joe Nichols, John Snover and Meacham. You pays your money and takes your choice. For recorder, George Peters and Perry Lewis, two popular boys and worthy of any man's support. For auditor, Cap Hall; for tax collector, A. Y. Wright; for district attorney, Williams and Langley; and we suppose others whom we do not recall this hot weather. There is an abundance of good material offering; select a winning ticket and then let us elect it from top to bottom. Black Scale Parasite Olive growers will be pleased to plin, and recommended that $40 be paid him for his interest therein. The recommendation was adopted and the matter referred to Attorney Melrose for final settlement.

Porter said the other morning he shooed 27 kids out of the ditch by actual count. Zanjero Brunworth was given a vacation of ten days. His place is being taken by George Treffern. Clerk Merritt observed that on the occasion of the recent hail storm he had witnessed the phenomenon of hail stones precipitating themselves upon his table, and they were the biggest hall he ever saw. Looking up, he was quite surprised to see they came by way of deep fissures in the roof, through which he could see the livid lightning's flash and hear the awful thunder's roll. He was of opinion the roof was a bum job in the first place. The board took the matter up for earnest discussion and instructed the clerk to procure bids for putting on a new tin lid on the edifice. The Marshal showed up with two coils of rope, and when asked if a hanging bee was in prospect replied he hadn't heard of any such entertainment, but the ropes were for the flagstaff on the hall. He found on raising the flag on the Fourth that the rope was ready to shift its mizenmaat and he was taking time by the forelook by unfurling new halyards before the old ones went permanently out of business. He could get no one to climb the staff and attach the rope, and to take the pole down for that purpose, as was done last time, costs too much money. A. E. Boothe of the Commercial hotel asked that, inasmuch as he contemplated leaving town for three or four months, he wished an assurance from the board that on his return his saloon license would be reissued to him. Rust said he saw no objection to this and the request was granted. Bills to the amount of $125 47 were ordered paid. Republican Caucuses A caucus of Republicans of Precincts 1 and 2 of the city of Anaheim will be held at Judge Shanley's office on Saturday evening, July 26, at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of selecting delegates to be voted for at the coming primary Hale said the indebtedness of the company was insignificant compared to its resources, but he thought the stockholders would object to issuing any more bonds unless the proceeds were set apart for some specific purpose. If the reservoir is going to be built the Cajon ditch has got to be enlarged. The company would need upwards of a hundred thousand dollars to make these improvements, but he thought the stockholders would stand for it provided the money was set apart for the purposes intended for it. Otherwise not. The committee having the finances of the company under consideration subsequently reported as follows: The committee appointed to consider the financial condition of the company, and the best means of raising money for the contemplated improvements, reported in favor of calling an advisory committee of thirty-five stockholders to assist the board in considering these matters. A special meeting has been appointed for Monday, July 28th, at 2 p.m. The following were appointed as the advisory committee: W. B. Hervey, S. Kraemer, C. Wagner, A. Pierotti, A. T. Pendleton, Theo Staley, C. C. Chapman, Wm. Thum, C. C. Carpman, S. Ross, W. L. Hale, E. K. Benchley, R. Amerige, S. S. Twombly, A. A. Mills, B. F. Porter, F. J. Teals, R. H. Gilman, Geo. Key, W. H. Blennnerhassett, A. McDermont, H. Cahen, B. G. Balcom, W. H. Bailey, M. Nebelung, M. L. Rogers, Alex. Henry, C. O. Rust, John Eymann, Mrs. Langenberger, Mrs. Strodthoff, A. W. Swain, G. W. Sparks, H. Wrede, Mrs. Steley. While it has been considered advisable to have the committee limited to a certain number, all other stockholders so desiring are invited to be present and assist the committee in its deliberations. Supt. Porter said he was bringing down five heads of water after delivering Yorbas their share. It was reported Fuller was tapping the river for seven heads. Crowther asked for and received instructions limiting irrigators using water through the Durkee ditch to eight days a lunar month. They had been pressing the limit to thirty days. Crowther said he will choke them off. Smith of the ditch committee reported verbally that the old Anderson ditch had been filled in, as well as the Tuffree ditch on east side of the reservoir. Relative to the cement ditch at Fullerton he reported favorably, work to begin as soon as signatures of property and takes your choice. For recorder, George Peters and Perry Lewis, two popular boys and worthy of any man's support. For auditor, Cap Hall; for tax collector, A. Y. Wright; for district attorney, Williams and Langley; and we suppose others whom we do not recall this hot weather. There is an abundance of good material offering; select a winning ticket and then let us elect it from top to bottom. Black Scale Parasite Olive growers will be pleased to know that a thorough test is to be made of the new South African parasite of the black scale, *Scutellista cyanea*, said to keep this king of pests in complete subjugation about Cape Town. Colonies, the originals of which were received from Chas. P. Lounsbury, government entomologist at Cape Town, have been distributed in Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San Diego counties. W.E.Hughes is receiving a consignment of this insect from Alexander Crawl, the state entomologist, and will set aside a large block of olive trees in his orchard this side of Howard Summit, or the whole orchard if necessary. Mr.Hughes agrees to liberate the bugs and keep out the sprayer and fumigator until the test is made. Mr.Crawl has not only sent down a large colony of these scale eaters, but promises to follow with new lots as often as necessary. It will soon be time for the State quarantine officer's annual visit to Southern California, and the horticulturists are preparing to give him a warm welcome. It is hoped the Hughes experiment will demonstrate that there is a parasite adapted to our climate and of sufficient fecundity to populate the orchards and exterminate the black pests. Summer complaint is unusually prevalent among children this season. A well developed case in the writer's family was cured last week by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy—one of the best patent medicines manufactured, and which is always kept on hand at the home of ye scribe. This is not intended as a free puff for the company, who do not advertise with us, but to benefit little sufferers who may not be within easy access of a physician.

M. M'FADDEN Prominent Placentia Orange Grower Passes to His Reward News of the death of Wm. M. McFadden, which occurred at his home in Placentia on Monday afternoon, will come as a sense of deep personal loss to every one in the valley. For upward of thirty years he had resided in this section. His first employment here was as schoolteacher at Yorba, in the early 70's. He was subsequently elected school superintendent of Los Angeles county, which position he filled with honor to himself and fidelity to the interests of the people for a number of years. He purchased a tract of land at Placentia, he being one of the pioneers of that section. He set the tract to orange and walnut trees, and for many years has possessed one of the handsomest and best paying orchards in Southern California. In affairs of public interest he took a prominent part. He was a member of the citrus fruit and walnut exchanges and held a foremost place in the councils of those organizations. He was for years a member of the water board. The impress of his wisdom is seen in many matters connected with the existence and the welfare of that corporation. He devoted much time to school, lodge and political matters. He was a trustee of the Fullerton union district high school, and had been master of the Masonic lodges of this city and Fullerton. A few weeks ago, being unable to continue its duties further, he resigned as chairman of the Democratic county central committee. Deceased attended the Kansas City convention at which Bryan was nominated, being a delegate from the state of California. He was prostrated by the intense heat prevailing in the east, and on his return was afflicted with illness which he was unable permanently to throw off. He visited the various mountain resorts in a vain search for his lost health. Relief was but temporary, and gradually the coils of the destroyer tightened about him. His illness culminated in dropsy. He took to his bed, and although the best of medical attention was procured to wait upon him, he sank gradually until at last there was little hope for him. A month ago his life seemed to hang by a include an investigation of the behavior of the spruce after lumbering, in order to draw up simple and practical rules for hastening the production of a second crop upon lumbered land. It entails also a careful study of the fire problem and of the best means of fighting fire in this region. This investigation further includes a consideration of local log scales. Much attention will be given during the present season to the examination of woodlots, in the management of which the assistance of the bureau has been requested. Two skilled men will be detailed for this work, and it is the intention of the bureau that its agents shall visit all woodlots for which applications have been made. STUDY OF COMMERCIAL TREES. One of the most important and interesting undertakings by the bureau of forestry during the present field season is a careful study of a number of the most valuable American commercial trees. This will include among others a study of the Adirondack balsam, in Franklin county, New York. Incident to the work of the bureau in connection with the Chippewa Indian reservation in Minnesota a careful study of the red pine is in progress. A study of the rate of growth of the sugar pine in California, which was begun last season, is now being continued. Last year's work began in the northern part of the state and in southern Oregon, and this season the examination will be continued southward with the idea of covering the full commercial range of this important timber tree.

C., July 16, 1902. On July 1st the Bureau of Forestry began its field season of 1902, and its work is now being carried on in twenty states. The bureau has appointed 90 new student assistants for this season, the entire field force numbering 165 men. The work includes, among other things, the gathering of the necessary data for several working plans, a study of a number of well known commercial trees, the examination of farm woodlots, and a study of the treeless areas with a view of devising plans for forest extension. The Bureau of Forestry begins the new fiscal year of 1902-1903 with an appropriation of $291,860. The amount for the year just ended was $185,440. This increased appropriation shows how this work commends itself to congress, and it makes possible a much wider range of work. The present season's work is by far the most varied and interesting yet undertaken by the Bureau of Forestry, and is being carried on in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona and California. Later in the season it will be extended to still other states and territories. WORKING PLANS.
