HISTORY OF THE A. U. W. COMPANY How the Fullerton End of the Water Directors Advance the Interests of Anaheim as Told by Alexander Henry EDITOR GAZETTE—I published my views on the Anaheim Union Water company on the 29th of November, and the week following Mr. Sherwood, the president of the company, in his letter of vindication said that my remarks were too rediculous to be considered. You know when a man gets a blow from the shoulders he don't like it, especially when told sold, undeniable facts. Stockholders of Anaheim Union Water company, on the 31st you will be called up to vote for two hundred thousand dollars for the star chamber gentlemen to handle for you. If you people on this side of the sandwash vote against the move you can defeat the scheme, and if you do vote for the new bonds you are gone, just as sure as the stockholders in the Anaheim sugar factory would have been today if their bonds could have been sold. On that occasion the stand I took made me many enemies, but I cared not, and neither do I care in this case; so long as I believe that I am right I stay by the ship. Now, Anaheim stockholders, I will give you another reminder of how you have been treated by those people of Fullerton and Placentia. The history of the A. U. W. Co. from the beginning shows a continued policy of restriction of supply for Anaheim. One of the inducements to join hands was that we at Anaheim would have our upper canal completed at once, and that our water supply would be largely increased. That same winter of 1884 the floods came and washed out the Cajon canal, which had never been half built, and it took to the middle of the summer and all the money the stockholders could possibly raise to rebuild it, leaving the company without resources and the stockholders practically broke. Stock for this reason went for a song; you could buy it anywhere for $7 per share. But the Fullerton end of it were still full of promises, and they promised to build the Anaheim ditch the first U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Warmer weather prevailed throughout the state during the week. Frequent light showers occurred in the central and northern sections, and heavy rain fell in the Sacramento valley and the coast and bay sections Saturday and Sunday, with lighter rain in all other sections, continuing up to the time of closing the report. The rainfall in the upper Sacramento valley was excessive, over three inches having been recorded in two hours, and was accompanied by heavy wind. There was considerable damage to property at Redding and other places along the Sacramento and other northern districts. Grain and grass were benefited by the warmer weather, and made better growth than at any time since the first of the month. The San Joaquin valley, southern coast districts and Southern California will be immeasureably benefited by the rain, as the soil in most places had become very dry and pasture scarce. Seeding is completed in some sections and progressing in others. Stock are in good condition. Clear, warm weather prevailed in Southern California during the first of the week. The first general rain since December 18th commenced on Sunday and continues to date. This will prove of immense benefit to orchards, grain and all growing crops. Grain is in fair condition. Early peaches are in bloom at Anaheim. Orange picking and shipping continue. Strodthoff-Hansen At the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hansen of Orangesthorpe avenue, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Otto W. Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona, was united in wedlock to Miss Selma Hansen. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Snyder of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles. Miss Clara Hansen, sister of the bride, was mald of honor and Gus Strodthoff, brother of the groom, was best man. Only the immediate relatives of the high contracting parties were present. On the completion of the ceremony the happy couple were the recipients of congratulations from all. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was served, to which all did ample justice. The bride and groom departed CHAMBER OF CWMERCE DIRECTORS MEET Many Matters Looking to the Advancement of the City Brought up for Discussion A meeting of directors of the Chamber of Commerce took place on Thursday evening of last week in the city hall, at which were present Directors Boyd, Barboraka, Bond—the three B's, and Secretary Krick, who is also a director. Many matters concerning the welfare of the city came up for discussion, but for lack of a full attendance of the board definite action was postponed. Secretary Krick caused considerable of a flutter when he announced that he had been questioned as to the sentiment of the directors as regards the advisability of a movement looking to the Sunday closing of saloons. Mr. Krick, while admitting that the local saloons were conducted in an orderly manner, the spectacle of the open-door policy on that day created a very unfavorable impression on Eastern visitors, and was undoubtedly the means of causing many an intending citizen to look elsewhere for a location. President Boyd stated that Anaheim was the only town in the county in which Sunday closing was not enforced. Sentiment of a majority of the members was in favor of the movement, but action was deferred. A letter was received from S. H. Finley of Santa Ana asking opinion of the board in the matter of endeavoring to secure the new State hospital for the feeble-minded. A resolution favoring the movement adopted. C. F. Grim appeared before the Chamber and urged that action be taken looking to the planting of shade trees along certain streets, notably those leading to the depots. President Boyd will bring the matter before the next meeting of the city council. Numerous requests from prospective settlers asking for information about our city were referred to the secretary for attention. The advisability of having Anaheim represented by correspondence in Herald and Times of Los Angeles was brought up for discussion and was favorably considered. A committee was appointed to interview certain parties would have our upper canal completed at once, and that our water supply would be largely increased. That same winter of 1884 the floods came and washed out the Cajon canal, which had never been half built, and it took to the middle of the summer and all the money the stockholders could possibly raise to rebuild it, leaving the company without resources and the stockholders practically broke. Stock for this reason went for a song; you could buy it anywhere for $7 per share. But the Fullerton end of it were still full of promises, and they promised to build the Anaheim ditch the first thing, and when a heavy pressure was brought the next year they condemned the right of way for the ditch through Yorba at a cost of $1500. The matter was allowed to lay there for a year, when the people again rose up and demanded the building of the ditch; but the Fullerton end said they were too poor. Then a mass meeting was held to see about selling stock enough to build it, parties having intimated that if the ditch was built they would buy stock. But that memorable meeting voted down the proposition on the ground that general appearances indicated that there would not be any more water than was needed to irrigate the 7000 acres. At this time the Anaheim people began to lose faith in the parties on the other side of the wash, and many murmurs went up. Therefore, when old Mr. Hunter, who was in the middle, suggested the Wright district, they grabbed at it, anything being considered better than the dog-in-the-manger policy that had always been persued. After the district had carefully planned their system of works they were asked to build the Anaheim ditch by the Anaheim people, to which the Fullerton end objected with consummate tact, and the board submitted the question to Mr. Schuyler, the consulting engineer, who, in going carefully over and planning the system, was familiar with its weakest points and was also unprejudiced. He said, build the Anaheim ditch, as the most necessary thing to do first. When the district was given the quietus and the bonds were issued, they said they would build the Anaheim ditch if they had money enough. But the old flumes on the Cajon had to be rebuilt, and the Fullerton end had more strength at this time, Anaheim having begun to be seriously affected by a restricted water supply; so the money was mostly used in Placentia, Anaheim getting a few cement ditches to solace her wounded feelings. And thus it has continued to the present time. Enterprising men have come in and tried to do something, but when they found that the Fullerton end were getting in control and had nothing but empty promises to hold out they sold their stock and put in pumping plants, and some of the older stockholders have done the same thing, so that at the present time about half the stock has passed from this side to the other side of the wash that was originally held here. The water we were entitled to could never be delivered through the Yorba flume, and the angelhorse avenue, yesterday noon at 2 o'clock Otto W. Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona, was united in wedlock to Miss Selma Hansen. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Snyder of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles. Miss Clara Hansen, sister of the bride, was maid of honor and Gus Strodthoff, brother of the groom, was best man. Only the immediate relatives of the high contracting parties were present. On the completion of the ceremony the happy couple were the recipients of congratulations from all. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was served, to which all did ample justice. The bride and groom departed on the evening train for the north, where they will spend their honeymoon. The groom is an employee of Senator Clark's copper mine at Jerome, where he has been for upward of a dozen years. He is a former Anaheim boy, and by close application to detail has been advanced in the employ of Senator Clark until at present he occupies one of the most responsible positions at Jerome. The bride is the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, and is an amiable and accomplished young lady whose admirers are numbered by the score. On their return from the north they will proceed to Jerome, where they will take up their residence. Mrs. Strodthoff, mother of the groom, entertained at dinner on Sunday evening in honor of the bride and groom. We join their many friends in extending the felicitations of the season. Associations Report The Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim has made final payment to its members for their walnut crop of the season of 1902. The highest prices ever paid by any association is their record, to-wit.: No. 1 soft shells, $9.85 per hundred pounds; No. 2 soft shells, $7.55; No. 1 hard, $9.45; No. 2 hard, $7.45. Sales were made through the agency of the Southern California Fruit Exchange. President J.B.Neff of the association has promised us a detailed statement for publication in our next issue. The annual meeting of the Golden Belt Fruit association was held on Tuesday afternoon in Masonic hall, Fullerton, at which the manager's report was read. The report was highly satisfactory, as it showed that the members had received for their walnuts the top price ever paid them through an association. No. 1 softs sold for $9.56 per 100 pounds, and the total amount due each member was paid previous to December 1st. Vacancies in the board of directors were filled by the election of W.L.Hale and S.A.Parkins.C.S.Miles was elected secretary to fill vacancy caused by the resignation of T.W.Phelps.The members expressed their satisfaction with results obtained through the association by all present signing for the ensuing year. Supervisors in Session The board of supervisors held a session at the court-house Saturday morning to pass upon a number of matters of importance. Al Harlin was appointed to the position And thus it has continued to the present time. Enterprising men have come in and tried to do something, but when they found that the Fullerton end were getting in control and had nothing but empty promises to hold out they sold their stock and put in pumping plants, and some of the older stockholders have done the same thing, so that at the present time about half the stock has passed from this side to the other side of the wash that was originally held here. The water we were entitled to could never be delivered through the Yorba flume, and the water which should have been put on the Anaheim lands for the upbuilding of the country was delivered on the Fullerton end of it, and the resources thus built up made them able to buy the stock from the men they had crippled on this side. Now the animal, having become sleek and fat with feeding on its neighbors' field, grins and shows its teeth, so that the oldest inhabitant can recognize it and say, "Verily, it is the beast as prophesied; what shall we do?" Some say, "Let us bow down and take whatever is offered." The beast, thus emboldened, says: "My dear lambs, we know that by continued restriction your wants will be much more limited in the future. We will just run you a little pipe line from Crowther's corner, and what little you do use you can have in the daytime." The Placentia ditch is already too small, and everybody who is at all familiar with the situation knows it will cut down our present water supply to one-third. This will cause every man who really needs water to any extent to put in pumping plants, and the result will be that in a very short time there will only be a few small holdings of stock left on this side. Then Smith and Sherwood can put in their proposed pumping plant and do without the pipe line from Crowther's corner, which will have washed out in the meantime, as did the old Parker ditch over the same ground, which was always washing out. And after a few years, when the pump and engine gets out of repair, the water stock will have become so limited on this side that the Fullerton end of the A. U. W. Co. can arrange to have the necessary supply furnished by the city water works. ALEXANDER HENRY. Supervisors in Session The board of supervisors held a session at the court-house Saturday morning to pass upon a number of matters of importance. Al Harlin was appointed to the position on the county board of education made vacant by the recent resignation of County Superintendent of Schools J. B. Nichols.

The engagement is announced of Bernard Dauver, a former resident of Electric Railway Probabilities The Fullerton correspondent of the Times writes: It has been rumored in this end of the county for several weeks that the Pacific-Electric Railway company would not build east of Whittier or into Orange county inside of eighteen months or two years. Inside facts do not warrant such a report. During the past few days several cars of bridge lumber, piles and other building material, have been unloaded; in the vicinity of Rivera and Los Nietos, and the first two carloads of piles to come into Orange county were unloaded in Fullerton Friday, and it is stated this material is to be used in constructing the long bridge across the sandwash between Fullerton and Anaheim, or in a bridge across a large barranca between Fullerton and La Habra, though it is evidently for the first-named work, as the timbers are from 20 to 30 feet long and very heavy. These are the only two places where such material could be used in this end of the county, and it is reported that two or three more carloads of heavy bridge timber will arrive here within a day or two. It was said some weeks ago that the road when extended from Whittier would not come from La Habra valley to Fullerton and Anaheim, but it is now stated that the road will run direct from La Habra to Fullerton, Anaheim and on to Santa Ana, and the unloading of this heavy bridge timber here bears out this statement, as such material could not be used in any portion of La Habra valley, or between that valley and Whittler.

Important Water Suit Another important suit, involving title to water flowing in Mill Creek and affecting many homes and much land near Redlands, has been commenced in San Bernardino, the Barton Land and Water company and a number of property owners being plaintiffs, while the Craftton Water company is named as the defendant corporation. The purpose of the suit is to restrain the Craftton company from taking water from Mill Creek canyon, which water is used to irrigate the Barton tract lying southeast of Redlands. The plaintiffs lay claim to 2500 inches of natural flow of the stream during certain stipulated hours. Above them zanja, from which the water is taken; it is alleged the water sinks beneath the surface, forming a subterranean flow which supports and holds up the surface water. It is alleged that in 1899 the Craftton company sunk well in the canyon above the intake and its Land or Sale of baseball Sunday on the first grounds between the ice and the Shamrocks of his won by the latter by a 8.
