EXPURGATED REPORT OF WATER MEETING Secretary Prepares a Dry-as-Dust Resume of the Deliberations of the Distinguished Body. ANAHEIM, CAL., Jan. 3, 1903. Regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co., with the following members present: Directors Crowther, Hale, Sherwood, Sheppard, Smith and Zeyn. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. The report of the Finance Committee was received and filed and warrants ordered drawn in payment of the various amounts as therein recommended. The report of the Secretary was received and filed. It showed the receipt of the balance on assessment No. 37, amounting to $5,737.00, also water sales in Anaheim of $498.33, and in Placentia and Fullerton of $1,711.92. The reports of the Treasurer and Superintendent were received and filed. On motion, the petition of A. V. Smith for a gate and raising of the sides of ditch was granted. The report of the Committee on Management of the Durkee Ranch was received and filed, and the committee was instructed to present an annual report and inventory at the next meeting. A communication from J. J. Vosburg warned the company against the putting in of any syphon, flume, pipe or any other means of carrying water across his land, and also gave warning that he would hold the company liable for any damage resulting from the same. A communication from Charles Cassat Davis asked that a cement ditch be as soon as possible placed along the north side of the Foos place, as the leakage from the present ditch is giving great trouble and is endangering, if not hurting, a number of orange trees. He offered to haul the gravel and do all the necessary team work. This communication was on motion referred to the Ditch Committee. On motion, the deed of right of way for a pipe line at St. Catherine's Academy was received and the same ordered to be recorded. The following transfers of stock were authorized by the board: Louisa Boege and Elmina Dorr, two shares, one going to Louisa Boege and the other to Elmina Dorr. Nine shares from Harvey and Martha Williams to W. R. Dick- LYMBURNER DEVELOPS AS WRESTLER Former Fullerton Boxer Makes His Appearance in Buffalo and Issues a Challenge. Webb Lymburner has blossomed out in Buffalo as a wrestler. His photo appears in an eastern sporting publication, wherein he issues a challenge to any 180-pound wrestler in Buffalo, Jerry Donnelly preferred." Lymburner's appearance and challenge reminds people hereabout of his entry into local fistic society. Something like ten years ago he located at Fullerton and opened a barber shop. Over at the Brookshurst orange grove, then owned by the late F. G. Ryan, a young fellow by the name of George Betts was employed as overseer. Betts had some local reputation as a boxer and was regarded as the best amateur with the gloves in the county. Lymburner had no sooner announced himself to the Fullerton sports as a boxer than he issued a challenge to any man in the county, Betts preferred. Lymburner weighed 20 pounds more than Betts. Betts was just about to be married and was averse to a ring contest at the time. To his friends he agreed to meet Lymburner in private in a finish contest, but they insisted he accept the challenge, and after thinking it over for a while he agreed to do so. Great interest was manifested in the contest, and when the evening of the argument arrived a crowd of sports from all over Orange and Los Angeles counties was attracted here to see it. John Brink, of Los Angeles, was referee. Betts won the contest, escaping without a scratch, while Lymburner bied profusely from the scores of left jabs administered in the face by his smaller but more scientific opponent. Lymburner landed heavily once on Betts' jaw, which rattled the youngster. It was the only blow landed by the Fullerton man during the fight. As a consequence Betts' stock went up, Lymburner's down. Lymburner next tried a bout with Frank Purcell, of Salt Lake, and got his jaw broke. He long posed as a "bad man from Bodie" in our neighboring town, and was a year ago practically run out of the place. Now he has broken loose in Buffalo as a wrestler and has issued his customary challenge. It is two to one bet the other fellow throws him. LONDON NEWSPAPER SPEAKS OF ANAHEIM The Times Prints a Lengthy Account of this City and County and Refers to Irrigation Development. Mr. S. K. Holman has fayored us with a copy of the London Times of recent date containing an account of this section, from which we quote as follows: In view of the irrigation problem which must arise in many parts of South Africa the experience that has been acquired in Southern California is of interest. Orange county, though small, is for many reasons one of the richest and most fertile counties in Southern California. The county town, Santa Ana, is but one hour by rail from Los Angeles. Bounded on the southwest by the Pacific, its ports are in direct communication with all coast line steamers, and it has a large export trade in wheat, barley, maize, oranges, lemons, apricots, raisins, grape fruit, walnuts, celery, onions and potatoes. The earliest canal of which there is any record is the Yorba ditch, made in 1835 by Bernardo Yorba. Two other ditches were made by him at about the same time, but in 1862 all three ditches were destroyed in a flood. Subsequently the present Yorba ditch, based upon the rights of the old ones, was constructed. This ditch has the oldest water rights on the Santa Ana river. It irrigates, however, only about 800 acres of land and carries on an average 450 inches of water. In 1856 the first ditch of the organization known as the Anaheim Colony was dug, and enough water diverted to irrigate an area of 1,165 acres. After various disputes with other undertakings had given rise to general dissatisfaction the Anaheim Union Water Company was formed in 1884, and to it was conveyed the interests of all the canals, except the Yorba, on the north side of the river. This company now supplies the Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia districts with water, and there is great improvement in the service. 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, with the result that the quantity of water available has been greatly augmented. 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 Ing great trouble and is endangering, if not hurting, a number of orange trees. He offered to haul the gravel and do all the necessary team work. This communication was on motion referred to the Ditch Committee. On motion, the deed of right of way for a pipe line at St. Catherine's Academy was received and the same ordered to be recorded. The following transfers of stock were authorized by the board: Louisa Boege and Elmina Dorr, two shares, one going to Louisa Boege and the other to Elmina Dorr. Nine shares from Harvey and Martha Williams to W. R. Dickenson. On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H. KRICK, Sec'y. REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, JAN. 1, 1903.

W. CROWTHER, M. NISSON, Committee of Management. Johnson-Ford Contest The case of Edgar Johnson vs. C. K. Ford, an action brought to contest the election of Ford as justice of the peace for Fullerton township, came up in the superior court before Judge Z. B. West on Tuesday morning. A demurrer to the complaint was filed, but overruled. The case went over until the afternoon, when attorney for the defendant filed his answer to the complaint. Trial was continued to Monday, January 19th, at 10 o'clock a.m. NEARING COMPLETION The Mitchell block is nearing completion, and makes a conspicuous adornment to its portion of the city. Plate glass has been put in and painters are at work decorating the interior. The building will be occupied by Asher & Falkenstein's department store. Joplin-Potter The case of Joplin vs. Potter, contesting the election of defendant as county treasurer, is now on trial before Judge Noyes in the superior court of this county. The useful effects of irrigation are everywhere visible. Forty years ago practically all of what is now Orange county was thought valuable only for grazing land. The whole county was owned by a few men who held the titles to the original Mexican grants. Gradually it dawned upon these owners that the land was suited to crop-raising, and, with the aid of irrigation, the county has undergone rapid changes. From being the scene of isolated sheep camps it has become a densely populated area dotted with towns and honeycombed by railroads. The farms—or ranches, as they are called—are of all sizes, from five-acre tracts to the San Joaquin ranch with its 96,000 acres. As a rule, the farmers are men of means who have gone there to live because of the climate or have been attracted by one of the varied lines of agricultural pursuits. Orange county naturally divides itself into two distinct agricultural areas, the uplands and the swamp lands, or lands that will grow fruit and nuts and lands that will not. On the former are found English walnuts, oranges, lemons, grape fruits, grapes, apricots, peaches, peanuts, all of the smaller varieties of fruits (strawberries, blackberries, etc.) and many kinds of semi-tropical fruits. The walnut is not an indigenous tree in Great Britain, so that by the English walnut is presumably meant the variety cultivated in this country. It is interesting to know that English walnuts reach in Orange county a degree of perfection attained nowhere else in the United States, and they occupy a larger area than is assigned to any other single crop. The young trees are planted in rows 60 feet apart, and other sorts of trees are planted between and cut down as the walnut trees grow. The latter begin to bear at five or six years old, and continue to do so to a great age. They are irrigated only during the growing season. About mid-September the nuts begin to ripen... NEWSPAPER BEAKS OF ANAHEIM Has a Lengthy Account of County and Refers to Town Development. Solman has fayored us the London Times of re-reading an account of this which we quote as follows: The irrigation problem arise in many parts of the experience that has in Southern California Orange county, though many reasons one of the most fertile counties in California. The county town, but one hour by rail from Bounded on the south-sideline, its ports are in dislocation with all coast line it has a large export barley, maize, oranges, raisins, grape fruit, yams, onions and potatoes. Canal of which there is the Yorba ditch, made near Orda Yorba. Two other ports by him at about the time 1862 all three ditches in a flood. Subsequent Yorba ditch, based upon the old ones, was conceived ditch has the oldest on the Santa Ana river. However, only about 800 and carries on an average water. In 1856 the first organization known as the New York was dug, and enough oil to irrigate an area of After various disputes undertakings had given dissatisfaction the Anas Water Company was built, and to it was conveyed all the canals, except the north side of the company now supplies the Barton and Placentia district, and there is great interest in the service. The main flows over the sandiest course, has been cemented at a cost of $4 per linear foot. The for water are decided to be hulls split, and the walnuts continue falling to the ground until nearly mid-November. Recently the growers, thinking they did not receive enough for their walnuts, formed an association to regulate prices and have almost doubled their receipts by obtaining last season 10 cents per pound for first class and 8½ cents for second quality. If these prices become permanent it is anticipated that every available acre of land in Orange county will soon be planted to walnuts. Oranges and lemons are pretty generally grown in a small way throughout the area, but only along the highest levels are they a commercial success. The grape fruit, or pomelo, being as yet little known to consumers, is only raised in small quantities. The highest irrigable lands are nearly planted to one or other of these three citrus fruits, because the fogs are not so heavy on the higher levels. It is worthy of note that the same fogs which make English walnuts a success tend to make citrus fruits a failure. Oranges require much more water than do English walnuts, because they grow throughout the year. They are irrigated seven or eight times during the twelve months. Ridges are thrown up between the rows and the entire surface of the ground is flooded. As soon as the water subsides and the ground becomes dry enough it is cultivated again in order to hinder the escape of the moisture. The chief outlays of an orange grower, apart from the natural expenses of irrigation and cultivation, are for fumigation against scale pests, for manuring with artificials, and for propping the trees to enable the branches to support the considerable weight of the fruit. When ripe the oranges are picked and hauled to the packing houses, where they are wrapped and packed in boxes for shipment to the various distributing points. Lemons differ from oranges in that they do not all ripen at the same time of the year. The lemon tree is continually blooming and ripening its fruit, so there is at no time an excessively heavy crop, and the trees do not need propping. Before shipment the lemons are "cured"—that is, they are subjected to a process which will make them keep a longer time that they would if shipped immediately after being picked. Like oranges, lemons are grown chiefly along the highest levels. In some places they occupy land higher than can be irrigated from the canals, water in such cases being pumped for irrigation purposes. At one time almost the whole of Orange county was under vineyards, but some ten or twelve Peter Weisel Stricken with Paralysis Peter Weisel, Esq., one of the best known and most highly respected residents of this city, was stricken with paralysis at his residence on Tuesday morning and for a time grave fears were entertained for his recovery. He was walking in the yard when attacked. He lost the use of one arm and leg and was unable to speak. Dr. Johnston was immediately called. He found on arrival that the patient had rallied, and with the administration of restoratives, Mr. Weisel was soon in a greatly improved condition. During the afternoon he continued to improve, and yesterday morning was feeling quite well, the power of speech having returned, and other favorable symptoms having intervened. Dr. Johnston says he has every hope of the patient's complete recovery. Mr. Weisel has resided in this city a number of years. Of large wealth, he has undertaken several enterprises, notably the cannery, and he was a director of the Citizens' bank. He numbers his friends on all sides, and the hope is universal that he may be speedily restored to his usual health. New County Clerk The newly elected board of supervisors on Monday selected Cal D.
