Thought She Was a Hayseed Because She Ordered a Kerosene Lamp. Just after the night clerk had come on at the hotel and curled his mustache to his liking his attention was called to business. "Kerosene lamp for 287," requested a bellboy. "Kerosene lamp?" echoed the clerk as he whirled the register about. "Let me see. Blondly and wife of Plunker-ville in 287. I thought so. Never been in a first class hotel before. Go back and show them how to use the electric light. Wonder they didn't send for a tallow candle," and the clerk took several of the corridor loungers into his confidence. "Lady says if this hotel can't afford a lamp to send up a gas stove and send it quick," said the bellboy, who had made the round trip in phenomenal time. "She acts pretty hot." "Protty cold, I should think. Go back there and open the register, show the lady how to use the water faucets and how to turn off the electricity. Thank the Lord, she can't blow it out." The next word from 237 came with a rush. It was brought by a vision of loveliness, dressed in bewitching style, ner face flushed and her blue eyes throwing off sparks. "Make out our bill and receipt it at once," she said as her dainty foot beat time on the marble tiling. "But, Mrs. Blondly" "Attend to my order, sir. Include in your bill a carriage and an express wagon to transfer us and our things and tell Mr. Blondly when he comes in that he will find us at the other house, where we will spend the rest of the season. Understand, we must go at once. I want to go to a hotel where it will be possible to warm some milk for baby before the little angel starves to death." Then the loungers had fun with the clerk, and the best he could muster was a sickly grin.-Buffalo News. The English Walnut.

Possibly few trees in the old world are more profitable than the English walnut, which thrives in England and all over the northern part of the continent of Europe. The wood is especially used for gun stocks and for many articles of furniture and is found profitable from trees of 10 years of age and upward. There is always a good demand for the nuts, so that there are two distinct lines of profit—by the timber and by the fruit. In our country they thrive in any portion of the eastern states, although as they progress northwardly the tips of the last year's shoots are destroyed by winter. The living portions push out again, however, and generally bear as abundantly as before. In the vicinity of Philadelphia there are numerous trees, planted by the early German settlers, which bear every year. Single or isolated trees sometimes fail to bear fruit on account of the pollen bearing flower maturing and scattering pollen before the nut bearing flower is in condition to receive it, and for this reason crops are more assured when a number of trees are planted together. In this way some of the pollen bearing catkins are conditioned so as to be in bloom before the time that the nut bearing flowers make their appearance.—Meehan's Monthly. The Bride's Perplexity.

ARMOR DISSECTS PROPOSED IRRIGATION BILL Says It is Inimical to Best Interests of Irrigators of State and Should be Defeated at All Hazards BY HON. SAMUEL ARMOR OF ORANGE TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE:— "It is a trite saying that a stera chase is a long chase; so comprehensive criticism of any measure, which seeks to overturn the established order of civilization in a particular field, must necessarily consume considerable time and space. This is especially true of a measure, like the proposed irrigation bill, that has so many ramifications and nothing good in any of them—'eighty-five sections and a bug in every one.' While the following bill of indictment, or indictment of the bill, by no means exhausts the subject, it is hoped that it may be some addition to the general opposition that is rapidly developing against the measure. 1. The bill is faulty in classification, in clearness and in conciseness. "Although the arrangement is fragmentary and each section is given a caption, the topics are so intermingled that no subject, or what is said about it, can easily be found. There is more or less confusion and uncertainty in the treatment of the various kinds of water rights and the language in some of the sections on other subjects is hard to understand. The act might be materially shortened by cutting out the unnecessary repetitions. When one subject is disposed of, it need not be repeated in dealing with another." 4. The bill in Section 1 claims all unappropriated waters of the streams on behalf of the State, which is absurd. It claims in Section 39 that the State can take over acquired water rights and works by paying for the same, which is more than doubtful. "The State has no more right to take over the water than it has to take over the land upon which such water is run. While the principle of eminent domain permits the State to take private property for public use, this 'public use' is for the government itself, or for practically the whole people, and not that the government shall become a purveyor of the article so taken. This is clear from the discussion of 'eminent domain' in the code, from the Supreme Court decisions and from the spirit of the third amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The State Constitution also declares the use of water to be a public use; but the context plainly shows that this declaration merely asserts the right of the State to regulate and control the use of water just as it does the transportation companies, and not that it shall become the owner of such water. For the State to become the owner and purveyor of the water would be for the State to take it away from some owners and furnish it to others. The Supreme Court has decided that between private parties such a use is not a public use in Lorenz vs. Jacobs, 63 Cal. 73. Such is a private use: Id. Wilmington C. & R. Co. vs. Dominguez, 50 Cal. 505; Cummings vs. Peters, 56 Cal. 593. If the use is a private use per se, the State can no more take private property for such a use than can individuals or corporations few of the lick-spittle, toadying class of individuals found in every community. For these reasons the Board will be compelled to inaugurate a system of espionage under its own management and control. "Just how this spying upon the irrigators will be accomplished cannot be foretold. As a preliminary step, the bill requires existing companies, in Section 9, and new companies, in Section 16, to disclose all the particulars the framers of the bill could think of. In addition to such pedigree, Section 42 requires an even more searching report to be made every year. Section 7 allows deputies to be appointed at the expense of the irrigators and Section 69 authorizes their appointment at the expense of the State. These reports and these deputy news-gatherers will furnish quite a fund of quasi-public information, as well as some that ought not to be made public. With this nucleus it would be an easy matter to encourage a few sycophants in each community to act as informers by granting some special privileges. At any rate, the espionage would be accomplished somehow, until every hidden thing would be brought to light in its worst aspect, as well as many other things that never had foundation in fact. Thus would be accomplished one of the purposes of this bill, viz: That the private use of water should become a public use—so public that every one would know how much water it took to make his neighbor's coffee for breakfast, just what proportion of the dairyman's milk came out of the hydrant and the exact quantity of water it takes to make a wash-poplin dress for an average-sized woman. 7. The bill opens wide door to promoters and water grabbers, men who, under the pretext of investing Telephone Main 55 RG, Proprietor California I GAZETTE COUNTY and For Sample Copy Weekly Gazette. ished 1870. There is more or less confusion and uncertainty in the treatment of the various kinds of water rights and the language in some of the sections on other subjects is hard to understand. "The act might be materially shortened by cutting out the unnecessary repetitions. When one subject is disposed of, it need not be repeated in dealing with another. "2. The bill is lacking in consideration for the irrigators; it is autocratic, dictatorial and nagging. "With such a spirit pervading the law itself, it is easy to predict that officers and employees clothed with its authority would soon become so insolent and exacting that the irrigators would be reduced to virtual peonage. "There would be no redress in the courts, for the officers would simply be enforcing the law; the people themselves could not compel courtesy and consideration, since they are given no voice in the selection or retention of these officers; and the opportunities and excuses for depriving the irrigators of the water are so many and so varied in the bill that the poor devils would not even dare to make a protest. "3. The bill overrides all existing water rights, subverts every well-established principle of water jurisprudence and substitutes its own crude and untried provisions as the law of the land. "It is true that in Sections 1, 4, 16, 23, 27, 29, 30 and perhaps others, the bill incidentally recognizes existing rights; but in Section 8 it expressly states that existing companies 'shall be subject to all the provisions of this act relating to such companies, their rights and duties.' They are required by Sections 9 and 42 to disclose everything pertaining to themselves and their business, and the whole bill assumes that it has jurisdiction over such companies, which means that their rights and those of their stockholders are subject to the supervision and control, the penalties and forfeitures, of this bill. "The Standard Dictionary defines a 'vested right' as one held by a tenure subject to no contingency; determinately fixed in a designated person; complete and consummated.' Such rights can be interfered with by government only for governmental purposes, as will be explained later in this article; but no authority whatever, outside the owner, can supervise the private management of property held by such a tenure or impose any penalties and forfeitures thereupon. 'Riparian rights' took their origin from natural laws. The land that bordered on a stream was early considered to have a right to use water from such stream; but in order that lower riparian lands might enjoy the same privi- never had foundation in fact. Thus would be accomplished one of the purposes of this bill, viz: That the private use of water should become a public use—so public that every one would know how much water it took to make his neighbor's coffee for breakfast, just what proportion of the dairyman's milk came out of the hydrant and the exact quantity of water it takes to make a wash-poplin dress for an average-sized woman. "7. The bill opens wide the door to promoters and water grabbers, men who, under the pretext of investing capital for the development of the country, are engaged in seizing upon valuable water rights and then compelling the owners either to buy them off or to fight them in the courts or to lose their rights altogether. "The Board of Engineers is made the sole judge of vested rights, surplus water, etc., in Sections 13 and 7 respectively. The fewer vested rights said Board upholds, the greater quantity of surplus water there will be to dispose of. After forcing the present users of water to disclose the technical foundation of their rights; after cutting down the quantity of water, by changing its duty, to those whose rights are upheld; after limiting the irrigation season to certain months of the year; after gauging the ordinary flow and the flood waters of the streams; after computing and mapping the irrigable land; after doing all these and other things to squeeze the water out of the present users, the Board through Section 63, which opens all the records and papers of the office to the public, virtually cries aloud to the promoters and water grabbers: 'Come in, gentlemen, and see what a nice lot of water we have uncovered. Title perfect; guaranteed by the State. No riparian rights to restrict its use; no limit upon the size of the order. First come, first served; first in time, first in right.' Step right in gentlemen. Such opportunities seldom occur more than once in a lifetime. 'There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fortune.'—Right this way, gentlemen; here's your chance; and when you've made your selection, don't forget those who put you next a good thing.' It goes without saying that the members of the Board will not be forgotten, notwithstanding that Section 82 forbids their accepting compensation; there are other ways of killing a cat than by choking it to death with butter. "It is not necessary to be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, to foretell the effect of this bill upon the owners and tillers of the soil, who bear the burdens and foot the expenses of irrigation. In the older irrigated portions of the State very little water runs to waste now, except in extreme floods when the whole surface is afloat. Even this small waste will soon be largely prevented by the press users who really need the water." RUHMANN'S Mania Halle.

Such rights can be interfered with by government only for governmental purposes, as will be explained later in this article; but no authority whatever, outside the owner, can supervise the private management of property held by such a tenure or impose any penalties and forfeitures thereupon. 'Riparian rights' took their origin from natural laws. The land that bordered on a stream was early considered to have a right to use water from such stream; but in order that lower riparian lands might enjoy the same privilege the unused portion was required to be turned back into the stream. The courts now hold that the water may be taken away from the stream and spread upon such land only as will drain back into the stream, thus returning the surplus and seepage for the lower users. The reason is obvious: Nature supplies the water by the rainfall upon the land within the watershed of the stream. This water, which has drained into the stream, may be taken back upon the land within the watershed, each user having due regard for the equal rights of others whose lands are similarly situated. Such rights vest in individuals by virtue of their ownership of the land to which the water belongs in perpetuity. "While pretending to respect vested rights, the bill insidiously seeks to destroy such rights. Sections 35 and 41 provide that a failure to use water on a place of land for two years forfeits the water right for such land. There are some lands bordering on the damp lands which would be positively injured by irrigation during a series of wet years and which would burn up without irrigation in dry years. Why should the irrigators be put into straight jackets and given no discretion in the management of their own property? Again Section 35 goes a step farther and makes a fail-ure to pay water rates for one year sufficient cause for a forfeiture of the water rights. Does that look like repecting vested rights which are natplain inference is that the Board is made the sole and absolute judge of everything pertaining to the use of water. Section 74 requires the Board to enforce the act, which as worked out would be mainly to enforce its own judgments. Sections 76, 77 and 79 make a refusal to comply with certain requirements a misdemeanor. Even where in Section 80 authority is given to call in the courts, the specific purpose is to enforce the judgments of the Board. While the bill does not nominally set the Board over the irrigators as a Jeffreys of 'Bloody Assize' fame, it does virtually give said Board the power of life and death over the water users. When despoiled of his water rights, the unhappy victim is forbidden to appeal to the courts, and he can only cry out in the language of one of Shakespeare's characters: "Nay, take my life and all; pardon not that; You take my house, when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house; you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live." "6. As partially indicated under some of the preceding heads of this article, the bill provides the machinery and the necessity for a system of State esplonage over the irrigators, no matter what the original basis of their rights might be. "The Board of Engineers, having been given the power by the act to judicially determine every question pertaining to the use of water and being required to enforce the provisions of the act, must of necessity find out whether its mandates are being obeyed or not. The bill itself will not appeal to the better nature of the irrigators, to the spirit of manliness, fair treatment of others and cheerful obedience to lawful authority; neither is it likely that the actions of the Board will inspire such feelings in the people. Hence it is safe to say no information of infractions of the law will be volunteered—unless it be by a "It is not necessary to be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, to foretell the effect of this bill upon the owners and tillers of the soil, who bear the burdens and foot the expenses of irrigation. In the older irrigated portions of the State very little water runs to waste now, except in extreme floods when the whole surface is afloat. Even this small waste will soon be largely prevented by the present users, who really need the water. Why, the Santa Ana river, which is regarded as the best stream for irrigation in Southern California, has no carried off by actual surface flow enough flood water in the last five years to regularly irrigate one section of land! The underflow supplies and renders fertile the damp lands near the coast. During these years all of the ordinary flow and most of the flood waters have been utilized and the irrigators have cried for more. They cut down this supply in various ways indicated by the bill would seriously cripple the present users and burn up their orchards in dry years. On other hand, the spreading of this water to the arid land where the supply would be fitful and insufficient, might benefit the promoters, but it would ruin thousands of settlers, repeating on a much larger scale the history of so many booze projects on dry lands within recent years. "8. The bill introduces politics in water affairs; it substitutes a buoyancy at the State capital in this place of the local management and undertakes to give such bureaucracy illegal and unlimited power. "Section 5 makes it incumbent upon the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, to appoint the members of the Board of Engineers; naturally it would make the selections from his own party ranks. Section 6 constitutes the Governor the official head of the Board; and without doubt..."

Stolen Horse Sheriff Lacey was in town on Friday with Farmer Hall of Winters and recovered a roan horse which had been stolen from the latter, together with a buggy and harness, the night of Thanksgiving. Some days ago Hall was informed by a neighbor that a Chinaman who peddles vegetables in Anaheim, and whose gardens are situated south of town, was driving the Malicious Mischief I.F. Rice, the East Center street merchant, makes complaint that on New Year's eve parties unknown to him wrecked the platform in front of his store whereon goods are displayed. Other property belonging to him was broken, and several large boxes were carried off. He makes no objection to the sport of carrying off boxes and does not demur to the necessity for hunting up and carting them home the next day. But he draws the line at destruction of property, and is joined by other business men in town who had similar experiences at the hands of the chaps out to usher in the new year. Sport is sport, but malicious destruction of property should be frowned down upon. Arrests may follow. Acceptable Present Andy Fuhrberg remembered his employee, Levi Mann, on Christmas day by making him a present which is useful as well as ornamental. When Levi showed up at the establishment Christmas day Andy handed him a nice new wallet, which on being opened revealed one of the business cards of the house neatly reposing within. The gratified recipient was about to place the wallet in an inside pocket when his eye fell upon a brand new $10 bill, the first one to be issued by the First National bank of this city. Levi considers it a most appropriate gift, as well for showing the goodwill of his employer as for its substantial character. INJURED IN A BALL GAME Bobby Rimpau was hit in the head above the left temple by a ball pitched by Archibald of Buena Park in a ball game between Anaheim and Orange-thorpe on the Lemon street grounds on New Year's day. For half an hour he was unconscious. He was the first man up in the first inning. He struck the first ball pitched and hit a foul. Stolen Horse Sheriff Lacey was in town on Friday with Farmer Hall of Winters and recovered a roan horse which had been stolen from the latter, together with a buggy and harness, the night of Thanksgiving. Some days ago Hall was informed by a neighbor that a Chinaman who peddles vegetables in Anaheim, and whose gardens are situated south of town, was driving the stolen horse. Lacey had looked two days for the horse and buggy in Los Angeles, and had failed to find it. When he learned the horse was in this neighborhood he drove over in company with Hall and located the animal in the heathen's possession. The celestial said he had purchased the horse in Los Angeles and that he had paid $35 therefor. It was taken from him, and Lacey informed him that if he could identify the man from whom he had bought it, the man would be placed under arrest. The Chinaman finally said he could not let the horse go for less than $30, and sought to pull the rope, to which the horse was attached, out of Hall's hand. Lacey informed the heathen he would have to give up the animal and thereupon took it from him. Neither the buggy nor harness were recovered. Instantly Killed John F. Jones, an employee of the Santa Fe company in Los Angeles, who was well known in this city, was accidentally shot by Lauren Hanna, an employee of the Sunset telephone company, in that city shortly after midnight the morning of January 1st. Jones and others were standing upon the upper balcony of his hotel, when he leaned over to look upon a crowd of young people on the sidewalk who were celebrating the advent of the new year. Hanna was of the number. He fired a pistol shot into the air. The ball struck Jones in the forehead, killing him almost instantly. Jones' companion went down and said to the men in the street: "You fellows have killed a man upstairs." The crowd separated immediately. A coroner's jury the next day urged the police to ferret out the murderer, he having gone into hiding. Detectives were put upon the case, and at 9 o'clock on Thursday evening Hanna was arrested in bed at his hotel. He is now held in jail without bonds awaiting examination. Jones was a popular young railroad official and had a host of friends throughout Southern California. The body was taken to Texas, for interment at Greenville, where deceased's father is a wholesale grocer. The unfortunate death of this promising young man is regretted by his numerous friends in this city, as well as elsewhere.

When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emulsion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children because it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott's Emulsion is the most satisfactory treatment. We will send you the penny, i.e., a sample free.
