STATESMAN HAZARD'S HOT-AIR PROPOSITION He Has Probably Not Heard of the War Department's Action in the Bolsa Chica Matter Statesman Hazard of the Peatland has broken loose with another crack-brained proposition which must excite laughter among the Peatlanders who are conversant with gun club matters down that way. He has probably not heard of the action of the War department in ignoring the report of the windy Capt. Jadwin and upholding that of the late Capt. Meyler, to the effect that the dock put across the creek by the Bolsa Chica people is not a "menace to navigation." However, in reading this paper this morning he will find that such is the fact, and he will also find a brief reference to Meyler's visit to the dam which may be of interest to him. Statesman Hazard has broken loose in the Peatland News with a chimerical proposition for the incorporation of a transportation company to operate upon the waters of Bolsa Chica creek. The proposition is the most remarkable that has yet emanated from the brain of this windy agitator. Statesman Hazard is the Peatland walking delegate, his nose is ever on the keen scent for trouble, and it is astonishing that his following should include anybody other than Private Secretary Byram and hizzoner Josiah McCov of the pink whiskers. We reproduce from the Peatland paper the following extracts from the statesman's proposition: "Perhaps the persons who contributed money to fight the gun club would like to know what was done with the money raised by subscription, which amounted to $56.25. There has been paid for attorney's fees, typewriting, acknowledging affidavits, and a chart, $51.10. Balance in bank, $5.15. When the dam is removed we will owe Major Finley $10 for a map which was necessary, and which required $20 worth of work. He furnished it for $10 provided the effort to have the dam removed is successful, and it will be donated free if the dam is not removed. So there will be $4.85 to raise if the dam comes out." Capt. Jadwin said he should report that Bolsa creek is navigable and unorganize a navigation company and have the government improve the harbor for him, when Uncle Sam is now engaged in the construction of a harbor at San Pedro not more than ten miles away. That is a high sounding bit of nonsense which Hazard gives expression to, to the effect that the government is spending large sums of money in the creation of harbors in Los Angeles and San Diego counties, and that Orange county is entitled to some. But the government, as Capt. Meyler pointed out, in Hazard's hearing, does not undertake to improve every inlet and indentation into its coast line and go to the expense of constructing harbors there. Even admitting that Bolsa Chica creek is navigable, Meyler said, she government could hardly be prevailed upon to make an appropriation for its improvement when San Pedro harbor is so near. Hazard seems to ignore what Meyler said to him, and he is said to be chasing up and down the Peat in a vain endeavor to secure subscribers to his windy scheme. So far as heard from, the only subscribers up to the hour of going to press were: Hazard, Byram and McCoy, of the pink whiskers, the total amount subscribed is said to be about 35 cents, of which not more than half has been paid in. Hazard ran into a snag when he solicited subscriptions among those farmers whose lands adjoined those of the gun club, of these there are fourteen who have made affidavit that the removal of the dock would cause irreparable injury to their property. These farmers comprise J. H. Cole, John McDonald, Mr. Waters and eleven others. Mr. Cole is the nearest neighbor of the gun club, and he says in his affidavit that the removal of the dam would cause the immediate overflow of seven acres of his reclaimed land. Mr. McDonald, whose land adjoins that of Cole, makes similar affidavit, as does also Mr. Waters and the eleven other farmers here referred to. Hazard does not, nor has he ever maintained, that his property is damaged by the dock; his land lies several miles inland and if lands adjoining the dock are possible of reclamation, certainly his lands are not liable to overflow. He has never claimed damages to the extent of one dollar, but he has gone about spouting anathema at the gun club and charging that the dock would give rise to malaria, and that in six months time half the residents MRS. BIXBY THREATENS LAW SUIT Breaking of the Cajon Canal Precipitates Large Quantity of Sand Upon Her Land. The regular meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Co. was held Saturday, March 21st, with all members present. Mr. Swain, a representative of the Southern Pacific Co., appeared before the board relative to a proposed change in the course of a ditch of this company along the Los Alamitos branch of their road. He proposed that the water company should relinquish its present right-of-way and in lieu thereof accept one along the south line of that property. Moved by Hale and seconded by McDermont that the matter be referred to the ditch committee to report at next meeting. Carried. Director Bradford reported that Mr. Waern of Yorba had agreed to do all the work of putting in the fence if the Anaheim Union Water Co will furnish the necessary posts and contribute the amount necessary barb wire would cost. The matter of putting in another gate in the Cajon canal for the accommodation of the Yorba people was referred back to the ditch committee for further consideration. Director Sherwood recommended that a sand gate be put in about 600 feet further up the ditch. On motion of Sheppard, seconded by Hale, the engineer was instructed to make plans for a proposed new sand gate and place same on file. Mr. Zimran appeared before the board and requested that a gate be put in so that he might irrigate the land recently purchased by him. Matter referred to superintendent with authority. Director Zeyn reported 500 feet of ditch had recently been plowed up by the city, it being in the street and it will be necessary to build a new ditch immediately. Mr. Zeyn was given authority to act in the matter. The matter of constructing a culvert on Palm street between Santa Ana and South street was also referred to Mr. Zeyn with authority. A communication from John C. Tuffree asking that gates be put in at with the money raised by subscription, which amounted to $56.25. When there has been paid for attorney's fees, type-writing, acknowledging affidavit, and a chart, $51.10. Balance in bank, $5.15. When the dam is removed we will owe Major Finley $10 for a map which was necessary, and which required $20 worth of work. He furnished it for $10 provided the effort to have the dam removed is successful, and it will be donated free if the dam is not removed. So there will be $4.85 to raise if the dam comes out. "Capt. Jadwin said he should report that Bolaa creek is navigable and lawfully obstructed, and would recommend that the obstruction be removed. If his recommendation is approved—as I have no doubt it will be—he will be instructed to see that the law is enforced, which he will do by instructing the United States district attorney to prosecute the guilty parties and ask for an order to remove the obstruction. Now, if it comes to that, we will need a lawyer to watch the case, to see that the best evidence is presented and that there is no side-stepping. Think about it a moment—don't you think I am right? "It will not be necessary to raise more money until it is definitely known that it will be needed, but perhaps it is well to consider what is the best plan to raise the money. My idea is to incorporate a transportation company which would cost on a capital of $25,000, between $50 and $60 to organize. The first move to make is to open a road to the bay, which would be done at the county's expense. Next, build a dock, which need not be more expensive than the company can afford. Then secure permission from the War department to open the old channel to the ocean. This work must be done by the people, for it is not the intention of the department to require the gun club to do it. After being opened the channel will be better than before, as the tide working through the canal will aid part of Anahiem bay to Bolaa. Of course the gun club case must be watched through the federal courts, which should cost $50 or less, I think." "Now let us who want to see the stolen public property restored to the public, call a meeting and organize the Bolaa Chica Transportation company and make our contributions in the form of subscriptions for shares, thereby making it an investment. Work for a multitude of subscribers of small sums to get up a general interest in the matter. "Bolaa creek with comparatively small outlay for jetties and dredging can be made a harbor equal to Wilmington." That is what Captain Jadwin said, and he is an engineer and competent to form an opinion. "The Government is spending millions for harbor improvements in adjoining counties. Let us organize and work for an appropriation. We are as much entitled to it as Los Angeles or San Diego. That the Government should improve the harbors of other sections and then donate ours to gun clubs and exclude the public therefrom, is an outrage which should arouse the indignation of every intelligent and whose land adjoints that of Cole, makes similar affidavit, as does also Mr. Waters and the eleven other farmers here referred to. Hazard does not, nor has ever maintained, that his property is damaged by the dock; his land lies several miles inland and if lands adjoining the dock are possible reclamation, certainly his lands are not liable to overflow. He has never claimed damages to the extent of one dollar, but he has gone about spouting anathema at the gun club and charging that the dock would give rise to malaria, and that in six months time half the residents of the Peatlands would be dead from its effects. When the half year rolled around and no malaria appeared he started to orate about the navigability of the stream. He was turned down by Meyler, but it seems Jadwin promised to have the dock out in two weeks. When Jadwin made this report the fourteen farmers owning property in the neighborhood rose as one man and emphatically protested against its removal. What the war department did with Jadwin's report is already known. It recommends that those who may have sustained damages at the hands of the gun club should take the matter into the courts. Now if Hazard can show that he is damaged he can probably recover; but that is not what he is after. He has been spouting nonsense about the gun club for three years and it is about time for him to subside. He ought to swim out for he is in over his head. The first thing he knows he will go down to join McGinty. Then, besides being "awful wet," his ghost may come around the dock of his transportation company "dressed in his best suit of clothes."

The heaviest rainfall that has fallen in years descended on Tuesday when an inch fell up to noon. The rain began at 4 a.m., and at 10.61 of an inch had fallen. Thirty-nine hundredths of an inch fell in the succeeding two hours. Rain fell heavily on Tuesday evening, beginning at 9 o'clock. It fell in torrents at intervals throughout the night. Yesterday morning Mr. Dickel's guage measured 1.03 inches for the night. Total for the storm 2.03 inches; for the season 12.50. Last year to date 10.05. Mr.Darling's guage records 2.10 inches for the storm, and 14.91 for the season. The season is the most favorable in years. Grain and feed have made a growth not excelled in ten years. In so that he might irrigate the land recently purchased by him. Matter referred to superintendent with authority. Director Zeyn reported 500 feet of ditch had recently been plowed up by the city, it being in the street and it will be necessary to build a new ditch immediately. Mr.Zeyn was given authority to act in the matter. The matter of constructing a culvert on Palm street between Santa Ana and South Street was also referred to Mr. Zeyn with authority. A communication from John C. Tuff-free asking that gates be put in at the northeast corner of each of his twenty-acre lots, and also a gate for the property of Mrs.J.A.Lloyd, and further that the leakage from Chapman's outlet be stopped. Referred to ditch committee to report at next meeting. A communication from John S. Chapman, the attorney for the Bixbys, called attention to recent alleged sluicing of sand on the Bixby property and threatened suit for damages. The secretary reported that the communication had already been answered by informing Mr. Chapman that no sluicing had been done, but that a recent break in our ditch had been the cause of the misunderstanding. A communication was received from C.W. Leffingwell tendering the sum of $9 which he considered as ample payment of the claims of this company for domestic water. The secretary was authorized to accept said amount as payment in full. On motion all applications on file for the transfer of stock were granted. On motion of Sheppard the superintendent was instructed to clean the main canal during the time that the water is out of the ditch for cementing. Moved by Hale and seconded by Zeyn Resolved That the engineer's plans for the excavation of three tunnels and the cement lining of the same, as presented to the board on March 21, 1903, be and they are hereby approved and adopted: That sealed proposals be invited from contractors for the construction of said work, for each section separately, or for the entire work, said proposals to be filed with the secretary of the board not later than 2 p.m., on Saturday, April 4, 1903; that in the publication inviting said proposals a requirement shall be made that a certified check for ten per cent of the bid shall accompany each proposal, payable to this company, and conditioned that the bidder shall enter into a contract for said work satisfactory to this board. The board reserves the right to reject any or all bids. Carried. On motionthe meeting adjourned. LIQUID AIR. A Cold Wave is Due in Anaheim Soon For the High School. A temperature of 30 degrees below zero is pretty cold weather, but even colder is promised in this city soon. More than ten times 30 below zero will be the temperature at one place on the opera house stage April 3rd, where the tank of liquid air is placed for the score of intensely interesting experiments Bolsa Creek was completely small outlay for jetties and dredging can be made a harbor equal to Wilmington. That is what Captain Jadwin said, and he is an engineer and competent to form an opinion. "The Government is spending millions for harbor improvements in adjoining counties. Let us organize and work for an appropriation. We are as much entitled to it as Los Angeles or San Diego. That the Government should improve the harbors of other sections and then donate ours to gun clubs and exclude the public therefrom, is an outrage which should arouse the indignation of every intelligent and honest person in the county." In view of the fact that Jadwin's report has been ignored by the war department and that the matter of alleged damage sustained by any of the farmers is referred to that department to the courte, it is difficult to see how vessels of the transportation company will be able to get from one end of the harbor to the other, without being equipped with flying machines to fly over the dock. After performing this spectacular feat the flying apparatus will come in handy in getting out of the mouth of the harbor—the mouth which once was, but is now no more, having been closed by the shifting sands. Even before the closing of this entrance to the harbor the water in it was so shallow that no vessel, even of the lightest draught, could make any headway through the breakers into the open ocean. The only craft ever maintained upon the creek previous to the purchase of the lands bordering it by the Bolsa Chica people was a row boat owned by Hazard which was carried to and from its anchorage by wagon. In this boat he hunted and fished and was monarch of all he surveyed in those rich hunting and fishing grounds. Now that the Bolsa Chica people have bought the property and have fenced it in Hazard occupies the same relative position as the small boy at a baseball game—on the outside of the fence looking through a knot hole. He has been sloshing around for a long time trying to break into the preserves, but has not yet succeeded in doing so, his latest proposition having that end in view, is the most picturesque that has yet come from him.

A Cold Wave is Due in Anaheim Soon For the High School. A temperature of 30 degrees below zero is pretty cold weather, but even colder is promised in this city soon. More than ten times 30 below zero will be the temperature at one place on the opera house stage April 3rd, where the tank of liquid air is placed for the score of intensely interesting experiments that will be given by the lecturer and demonstrator engaged. A supply of this wonderful fluid, 312 degrees below zero, is guaranteed, and extensive laboratory apparatus is brought with which to show its many peculiar and startling qualities. Present experiments with liquid air are simply voyages of exploration into the strange country of hitherto unknown temperatures. What the heat of a fire is to water in generating steam, so is the heat of the atmosphere to liquid air, which is so inconceivably cold that a kettle of it will boil away fiercely even upon a cake of ice; alcohol is frozen and quicksilver is made as hard as iron, while the air's chemical properties permit of many paradoxical and interesting feats. To the average public the great charm of a liquid air entertainment centers in the wonderful experiments. The general admission will be 50 cents; reserved seats 75 cents. School children 25 cents; reserved seats 33 cents. Subscribers will have first choice of seats. Subscription list closes next Saturday, March 28th.

The trees will be planted along the streets in a couple of weeks, Mr. Carroll having advised the delay. A water connection has been made with the Episcopal church. The ordinance committee were given further time to report on house numbering ordinance. Offer of Pacific Tank company to furnish tank for the city water works was received and action thereon postponed until next meeting. City attorney reported that the trustees had power to appoint a police officer. Action on the appointment was postponed until next meeting. Letter was received from P. A. Stanton referring to a communication from the city regarding the purchase of a gravel pit at Olive on the property of I. W. Hellman. Mr. Stanton stated that the owner did not desire to sell at present. Marshal Steadman reported that a bridge on Lemon street was only 12 feet long and is placed at one side of the street; that a bridge on Citron street is only 12 feet long, and that both bridges should be removed and the street piped. Also that there was an open ditch across Broad street near East. The clerk was instructed to notify the Water company to put in pipes on Lemon and Citron streets, and the marshal was instructed to abate ditch across Broad street. Weisel stated that the chamber of commerce had called his attention to the fact that several of the lodges of the city desired to plant trees along their assistance. Obituary VON SCHMIDT—Mrs. Jennie L. Von Schmidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Spielman, was born in Hagerstown, Washington county, Maryland, January 14, 1867. In 1869 her parents left for California arriving at Napa City on December 24th of that year, where they resided for some two years and then removed onto an extensive ranch at the head of Berryessa Valley, Napa county, where they resided for twenty-eight years. She was married September 3, 1884, to A. W. Von Schmidt of San Francisco. Soon after their marriage they moved to Fresno county and built up a fine raisin ranch of 140 acres on which they lived for fifteen years. They then moved to San Jose, at which point they remained for one year and then moved to Alameda. They remained at this point for some time and then came to Orange county. Some five months ago they removed to Los Angeles where she died on Friday, March 20, 1903. Interment was had in the Anaheim cemetery on Sunday, March 22, 1902. On account of the serious illness of a little daughter Mr. Von Schmidt was unable to attend the funeral in this city Clair The regular monthly meeting of the M. E. Young People's Christian Endeavor was held at the home of Mrs. Barter on Saturday evening. The usual program of singing and recitations, followed by games of various sorts, helped to pass a pleasant evening. Several popular airs were rendered on the piano, and while a critic might find fault with the "touch" of the performers, the selections on the whole were well rendered. Several hymns were sung by the audience. Mrs. Robinson sang a comic song, which was followed by a recitation by Mrs. Wells of Los Angeles. More or less might be said of the general deportment of a certain class of people who attend these Christian Endeavor socials.

Altoona, Pa., March 20.—The coal operators to-day finally consented to accept an eight-hour day, but have added other conditions which the miners are taking time to consider. The proposal made by operators to-day was for an increase of 10 per cent for pick mining, 12 per cent for machine mining, and $2.40 a day for drivers on an eight-hour basis. The present rate for inside laborers is to continue, with the understanding that they may work more than eight hours to clean up the mine, being allowed 24 cents an hour for overtime. This means a considerable loss of wages as compared with the scale for a nine-hour day as proposed by the operators.

Chicago, March 20.—George Willard sought by the police of two continents for years for a daring $80,000 robbery committed in Paris, was last night worseted in a revolver fight with two detectives on a crowded street car. With him were arrested Edward Carney, charged with many robberies throughout the country, and William Moffatt, with whom Willard is said to have been operating in Chicago. The fight, which preceded the capture of the three men, caused a panic among the passengers of the street car, in which several women were injured. Willard has been identified, the police say, as the man who assisted "Mickey" Gleason in the robbery of $80,000 in gold and bank notes in Paris several years ago. He was arrested in Buffalo later and $10,000 of the proceeds of the robbery was found in his possession and confiscated.

THE OLD RELIABLE ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absolute Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE Vicksburg, Miss., March 22.—Officials of the steamer City of St. Joseph, who reached here to-day from Greenville, report a critical state of affairs along the Issaquena country frontier. All along the line the water is almost level with the crown of the levees, and at several points it is washing over. New work is sloughing badly, and at Fitler a great cave has appeared in the old levee. Into this cavity 2000 sacks of sand have been dumped without perceptible effect. Inspector Dulaney, who is in charge of the work there, is almost decided to cut the old levee at half a dozen places, as a sudden break would be disastrous to the new levee further back. This cut is vigorously opposed by people living between the levees, and feeling is said to be running high. At Duvals, and from Brunswick to Ghotard, there is imminent danger at several points, where large forces of laborers are working day nad night. The City of St. Joseph brought in more than a hundred refugees—men, women and children—from the Davis and Kiger places and will go back as soon as discharged for others who are imperiled by back water.
