EXPURGATED ACCOUNTS COMING AFTER THIS Half of the Thwacking Fist Springs a Resolution Excluding Beetle Growed Villains of the Press The water board met in regular session on Saturday and had its hands full of business with the following report of the ditch committee: ANAHEIM, Dec. 6, 1902. To the directors of the Anaheim Union Water company — Gentlemen: We, your ditch committee, beg leave to make the following report: 1. We find that most all the stockholders on line of North Branch canal are willing to help the company to cement that canal. 2. We recommend that the company cement that portion of the canal on west line of Mr. Hanst's property, in Fullerton, from Northam avenue to Commonwealth avenue. 3. That we cement Orangethorpe avenue canal from the junction of the South Branch ditch to Mrs. Hiltscher's southwest corner on said avenue, provided stockholders contribute reasonable team work. 4. We recommend that our company accept Mr. Mesmer's proposition for a pipe on the company's right of way through his land, known as the Jonathan Kraemer place, if same is practicable. 5. That if "said property-owners" through town of Fullerton will pay the difference in cost of cement canal and pipe line, that said change be ordered made. 6. We recommend that we cement one mile of the most wasteful section of the main canal. 7. After careful examination of cement mixers we recommend you purchase a No. 1 Ransom pattern, which will mix about 1600 to 2000 cubic feet of concrete per day, at a cost of $375 f. o. b. Anaheim. H. L. Smith, H. H. HaLE, J. C. Sheppard. All the recommendations were adopted, and more cementing will be done on the eve of the annual election than at any time in the history of the company—all of it on the north side. The hunt for proxies is becoming fierce. Sheppard said the cost of the cement mixer did not include that of an accompanying engine. However the machine does with seven men the work it now requires 14 to do. Crawford estimated it would cost the manure will have this offensive grass with them until further orders. He thought the grass referred to by Mr. Chapman was devil grass. The board after engaging in a symposium upon Johnson, devil and Bermuda grass, instructed the secretary to courteously acknowledge receipt of Mr. Chapman's letter and to assure him the company would hold itself ready at any time to co-operate with stockholders to the end that all noxious grasses may be eradicated. C. C. Jenness, who owns land near the Jewish cemetery southwest of this city, asked that a gate be placed in the cement ditch to supply him with irrigation water. To the Superintendent with power to act. Mr. Hole wrote from Los Angeles to say that the taxes on a piece of land adjoining the Tuffree reservoir sold the company by him had not been paid and she asked for a check in the amount of $6 45 to pay for the same. Hale said the company had purchased the land after the assessment had been levied. He said no to Mr. Hole. The matter was referred to the attorney, he to request of Mr. Hole for points and authorities. The secretary of the Santa Ana irrigation company wrote saying his company had drawn a check in the amount of $500 in favor of the committee of management of the Durkee ranch, for current expenses. Boss Crowther (starting up in surprise)—I know nothing about it. They have no authority to make such an appropriation! The matter was referred to Crowther to investigate and report at the next meeting. Secretary Krick reported several offers of money at 5 per cent. The board decided to accept the same and pay off 6 per cent notes. The following applications for transfers of stock were granted: From A. J. Webber to Mary A. Webber, ten shares; from Conrad Stueckle to L.C. Vanderburg, three shares; from J.C. Schulz to C.C. Jenness, two; from J.C. Schulz to Mrs.J.C.Schulz, three; from Thum Bros.to F.and W.Thum company,106. The following applications for transfers were referred to the attorney and to be transferred on his recommendation- PIEROTTI AFTER SHERWOOD ABOUT WATER MATTER Points Out Where Latter Falls to Conform to Facts in His Argument and Produces Figures to Prove It EDITOR GAZETTE—Mr. Sherwood reply to my article in the GAZETTE last week, published in the Fullerton Tribune (the only mouthpiece he has left), calls for some explanation, as swarms with misstatements and false insinuations. It seems a waste of time to rehear the subject of the Yorba reservoir, especially as the whole matter has been shown up before, but Mr.S.is a ways on hand with a fresh batch of details regarding it from start to finish. For myself I certainly do not want the Yorba reservoir built any more than Mr.S.is if the site is not practical, but Mr.S.'s opinion, after spending time and money, simply corrobed Mr.Kellogg's report, only, as said last week, going him ten feet better. What the Damron contract and the Tuffree agreement have to do with me I can't see. The former was supported by the entire board, with the probable exception of Mr.S., who always voted No to anything that he does not propose himself. The Tuffree matter has been on hand for twenty-four years but had my wishes been regarded would have been disposed of long ago. Mr.S.takes great credit to himself for having made the runs the past summer in four weeks (so he says) without having reduced the time, whereas they should have done better than previous years, owing to the extensive cementing of the year before at Horse Shoe Bend and through the Tuffree ranch, said improvements being estimated by the engineer to effect a sawing of from 150 to 200 inches. Notwithstanding these improvements they did no better this year than in the preceding one, as the following taken from the zanjero's report clearly proves: In 1902 run 3 began June 26th, while run 2 ended July 3rd. Run 4 began July 27th, while run 3 ended August 6th. Run 5 began August 28th, while run 4 ended Sept. 10th. All the recommendations were adopted, and more cementing will be done on the eve of the annual election than at any time in the history of the company—all of it on the north side. The hunt for proxies is becoming fierce. Sheppard said the cost of the cement mixer did not include that of an accompanying engine. However the machine does with seven men the work it now requires 14 to do. Crowther estimated it would cost the company $700 to rig up the machine and engine, but he was persuaded the company would save its cost in a short time. The board discussed the various recommendations of the committee, acting upon them all favorably. It was the opinion that the Mesmer pipe line was rather impracticable, but the board decided to put in the pipe if on a thorough investigation the plan be found feasible. When the board was discussing the cementing a mile of the main canal Zeyn asked concerning the flume at Yorba, whether the present would not be an opportunity time to make necessary repairs. Hale, referring to the matter, said: Don't you Anaheim people be alarmed. We are not going to skin you yet. You have whole skins yet, and I presume you are going to keep them. People looked at Hale in surprise to ascertain if possible what was hurting him. Sheppard observed that he feared that if the company waited to sell bonds, by the grace of the advisory board, it would be a long time before there would be anything doing. He therefore favored going ahead and doing the work now. So the board decided to go ahead and cement a mile of the main ditch. Zeyn asked again relative to the flume at Yorba, which supplies the Anaheim main ditch with water, and which is in such shaky condition that it badly needs repairs. Hale—If we go up there to look at the flume and breathe hard and it falls down, will we be held responsible? The matter was dropped, notwithstanding the flume may go out at any time, leaving a large portion of the district without water. Supt. Porter reported that W. Almes had not yet paid for his part of the cement ditch constructed at his place. Hale said Almes had agreed to pay $50 for the ditch. On motion of Sheppard, seconded by Hale, the secretary was instructed to send Almes a bill in the amount of $50, with a polite invitation that he remit the amount. In the matter of the application of Mr. Roerden for the cementing of a ditch on the East Side more time was asked for and granted. The application has been on file for a number of weeks. What's the matter? No proxies there? Sherwood reported that he and Engineer Eaton had been up the river of concrete per day, at a cost of $375 f.o.b. Anaheim. H. L. SMITH, H. H. HALE, J. C. SHEPPARD.

What's the matter? No proxies there? Sherwood reported that he and Engineer Eaton had been up the river and had been over the works of the Riverside power company, which is seeking to develop power from the water in the river. They have a drop 65 or 70 feet about a quarter of a mile above Fuller's intake. The canal is designed to carry 7000 inches of water, and winds around the hill to the Narrows, where the big cement bridge is being constructed across the river. At Corona there were several thousand acres of land which could be irrigated with water from the power company's canal. He leaned to the opinion that it would be a good idea to watch the water taken from the river by this new company. Hale was of the opinion the power company was only an excuse to get the water away from the valley irrigators. "Let the litigation committee get counsel," he said, "and if we have to fight let's begin right now." Hale is a scraper from away back. C. C. Chapman wrote concerning the serious menace of Johnson grass, which had made its appearance in his orchard from seeds brought down the ditch. He had noticed patches of it along the ditch, and suggested that the company co-operate with farmers in an effort to eradicate it, adding that its suppression was a more important thing at this time than the development of water. He pointed out the disastrous results which had followed the introduction of the grass elsewhere, and hoped effective measures would be taken to eradicate the pest. Hale said the company did not wish the spread of the grass pest, but they also desired to develop all the water the law allowed. He had some Johnson grass on his ranch. The seed was brought down by the flood. He noticed the grass established a foothold in wet places. Porter said that those who use sheep...

The Wesley Almes ditch was also turned down for the same reasons, but the present board, instead of spending money on the main ditch where a saving of water could be effected, are apparently saving constituents or votes by cementing these same ditches. Ha! ha! ha! Yet Sherwood says, "If you want any special favors, don't vote for me." If Mr. Sherwood feels at all nervons, thinking I am after any office or a candidate for any, let him rest assured that I am not, but if he wishes to discuss matters of interest for the benefit of the company, and can stick to the facts and leave slander and misrepresentation aside, I shall be pleased to do so, as I am highly interested in the progress and welfare of the company.

Dr Tyler has arrived to buy oi interest of Dr.Eddy, who co- years, owing to the extensive age of the year before at Horse-rail and through the Tufiree said improvements being estimated by the engineer to effect a savannah 150 to 200 inches. Understanding these improvements is no better this year than in preceding one, as the following from the zanjero's report clearly run 3 began June 26th, while ended July 3rd. Run 4 began on July 31st, while run 5 ended August 28th, while ended Sept. 10th. Run 5 began July 4th. Run 6 July 31st, while run 5 ended September 2nd. Run 7 began Sept. 2nd, run 6 ended Sept. 4th. S. had consulted the records daily, instead of denying so peril the existence of any, he would run 3 took 32 days and took 34 days, while the two long-term of last year, under the same rules, namely runs 5 and 6, took 8 days respectively, but accumulations evidently does not diminish that "there was a fence" concerning the ditch shows a great dearth of leftover arguments. The Miles ditch built to irrigate any of my pet did I ever receive or expect personal benefit from it. I gave company the necessary right of way only wish being to improve him by saving water; the gravelled by interested parties, as is irony, the only calamity in concluding it being that the engineer will run the line in the proper location. If the ditch is in the right place, he says, what is he talking about to the Sparks ditch is amenable as the previous one.erman of the ditch committee, thoroughly investigation of the I recommended the cementing Sparks ditch as a very saving reason, doing away with a sandy and supplying a large body of sliders. It was passed by the unanimously, with the usual exclamation, was about constructed, taking the portion along the railrack, when the new board of rewere elected, and by the best intention I can get they got into with the railroad, and like contemplated improvements was abandoned. During the "Travis incident," years before Mr. S. became a member of the board the directors unanimously in favor of purchase Yorba reservoir site, and L. B. Benchley and W. M.

The Christmas Dinner In spite of the fact that the word dyspepsia means literally bad cook, it will not be fair for many to lay the blame on the cook if they begin the public improvements reported grading of streets and installing of lights in residences and business places. Trustee Berdrow reported city tank repaired in good shape. It requires a new set of 3-ton springs to be placed in first-class condition. Hauling the tank on solid wagon causes it to jar whenever the weeels go into chuckholes. With springs it ought to last 20 years. He also purchased a span of mules from Los Angeles parties at a cost of $325. Action approved. Trustee Rust opposed a sidewalk on Lemon street of a width of only 6 feet. If trees are planted, they will take up two feet at least. He said the walk should be not less than eight feet. Sidewalks in town eight feet wide are narrow enough. He favored cement instead of wooden curb. The matter having been referred back to petitioners, who offered originally to deed 54 feet, the board voted to refer the matter to the public improvement committee to investigate and report. Under the head of new business, Trustee Berdrow moved that city purchase a new set of 3-ton springs for tank wagon. Seconded by Trustee Rust and carried. Matter left to Marshal Steadman. The Southern Pacific company reported having used 49,900 gallons of water during November. A bill was ordered sent for same in duplicate. Weisel—Nothing about the tank? It developed the tank already here, but it has not yet been erected. Trustee Weisel said the blow-off pit at the power-house was in need of alteration and repairs. The old pit is in the building, and the curbings have rotted. The engineers are blowing off the boilers on the new city lot and are tearing it to pieces. Clerk Merritt entered objection to blowing off the boilers on the new city lot. To the committee on public improvements, Marshal Steadman said the city ought to have a shed for the grader and city wagon. The city has a lot now and he argued a shed should be erected for purposes indicated. Trustee Weisel suggested the lot be fenced in and a new shed erected and the premises be used as a corporation yard. To the committee on public improvements with power to act. Clerk Merritt brought up the matter of the clerk's salary. In 1895 the clerk received $25 per month. In May 1895 the first electric light bills were sent out.

It may not be fair for any to do that—let us hope so for the sake of the cook! The disease dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that is a weak stomach, rather than a bad cook, and for a weak stomach there is nothing else equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla.
