In the esteemed Santa Ana Blade of Monday evening we are surprised to read the following: Should the people of Anahim be inclined to resentment because of the evident disposition shown by the postmaster of Santa Ana to "knock" their Fourth of July celebration by depicting it as a probable orgy and "combined attack on the brewery" on the part of all who attend, they should make due allowance and bear in mind that the postmaster of Santa Ana who, as "man on lookout," thus attempts to injure the Anaheim celebration, in no sense represents the public sentiment of this community. Postmaster Shaw's purposed "knocking" of our celebration had escaped us, but it seems to us the Man on Lookout in the Herald is not at his best in lugging in "the brewery" at every turn. Anaheim is not a brewery town—not by a jugful; nor will our coming celebration be a brewery celebration—not by much. We expect to have the Santa Ana band with us on the Fourth, as well as Company L of that city and Company H of Talbert; and we have hope of getting the Columbia Club to join with us in celebrating the nation's red-white-and-blue holiday. We expect many of the good people of the county seat to be with us on that day, including Joe Yock and his big automobile. We want the whole town to come if it will, and will promise all who are with us on that day the biggest thing of its kind ever seen in Orange county. Postmaster Shaw will please come off his perch. F. E. LITTLE, who for some years past has been principal of the Cen- ness for several years. It is alleged that when Senator Foraker's present terms expires, he will have to whip Cox to secure re-election, and that Hamilton county will have a candidate against him for the United States senate, probably Congressman Nicholas Longworth, or ex-Congressman Charles F. Taft or possibly George B. Cox himself. Ex-Judge Wright said Saturday, "Im not in a position to talk." It was announced in Washington last week that Senator W. A Clark of Montana has decided to build a mansion in Washington which will be more grand and expensive than anything in this city or New York. It will be finer than the $10,000,000 palace which he has just completed in New York, and is intended to make the residences of Carnegie and the Vanderbilts look like tenements. He has negotiated for plans with architects in London and Paris and they are being made on a competitive basis. The structure will be located on Dupont circle and will cover more ground than any Washington residence. Narrow Escape Emil Berlinz, who arrived in San Francisco last week as a steerage passenger in the steamer Acapulco, had a thrilling experience with man-eating sharks in the harbor of Acapulco, and lives to tell the story. Berlinz was formerly a sailor on the British ship Clackmannanshire, and with several shipmates he was bending sails on the ship at Acapulco when he missed his hold and fell into the water. It seemed a full minute to his mates before he cobbed up to the surface and with him appeared a score of monster sharks. Life buoys were thrown to him. All about him the sharks appeared to be fighting among themselves for position, and this was considered the reason for his deliverance from their jaws. A line thrown from the ship to Berlinz fell within his grasp and his mates began to haul him aboard. Before he was clear of the water, however, the sharks made a furious victim their teeth only. WATER BOARD SHIES AT JOINY Refers Back Report of Litigation committee for Further Informative retary Kriek Gets a Cent The water board met Saturday noon; those present were: Bradford, Hale, Shephard McDermont and Zeyn.

Crowther and president and secretary, of said corporation, are he ed to execute, acknowledge F. E. LITTLE, who for some years past has been principal of the Central grammar school, will not apply for reinstatement next term, the two newly-elected trustees, Messrs. Maxwell and Enearl, having agreed to favor another teacher. We have heard no criticism regarding Prof. Little's fitness for the place he has efficiently filled, on the contrary no little censure is heard relative to his displacement. It is proper to say that the occasion actuating the new members of the school board is not that dissatisfaction exists in the schools, for it does not; but that they prefer to employ a man for principal who is a bona-fide resident of this city, Prof. Little having maintained his residence in Los Angeles during the term of his employment here. After serving his first year he was displaced, in the whirligig of a district school election, but his friends rallied to his support and the following year, and for six years he has filled the place of principal of our public schools particularly well. Will history repeat itself? Mr. Little is a man of scholarly attainments, and that he should be displaced at this time is to be regretted. Within a week the last link of the Commercial Pacific Cable will be laid between San Francisco and Manila and the United States will have direct cable communication with its Philippine possessions. The cable ship Colonia reached Midway Island Saturday, completing the link between Guam and Midway, and immediately on its arrival the Angila departed for Honolulu to close the last gap in the trans-Pacific Cable, a distance of 1160 miles. Superintendent Harrington of the Commercial Cable company stated recently that he believed the Angila would accomplish the voyage in six days, spinning out the wire while en route. When the last link is completed work will be finished, which has been contemplated for half a century. It is nearly fifty years ago that soundings were first made and surveys undertaken for a cable below San Francisco and Orange county. Postmaster Shaw will please come off his perch. Slathers of Grain A report comes from Hemet to the effect that a million sacks of grain will be harvested in that section this summer, and railroads are making preparations to handle the freight. The fields extend to Temecula on the south and Box Springs on the west. The crop surpasses anything ever raised in that valley. Some farmers have cut more for hay than they intended and thus reduced the grain yield. It is feared there are not enough threshing machines in the district to thresh the grain. Incorporation Articles of incorporation have been filed with Recorder Peters by the Huntington Beach company, a corporation whose stock will be capitalized for $300,000 in shares of the par value of one dollar each. The life of the incorporation is for fifty years, and the principal place of business will be Los Angeles. The directors are: H. S. Laughlin, N. W. Thompson, W. W. Powell, A. F. Morton, C. A. Gates, L. J. MeGulre, W. B. Brown, all of Los Angeles. Among the improvements in contemplation for the beach is the erection of a large seaside hotel, which it is said will be one of the finest on the coast. Grasshopper Plague News comes from Big Timber, Mon-tana, that in all probability there will be a grasshopper plague in that section this summer. The grass, which has attained a very good growth, already begins to show the work of the insects and stockmen say it is likely that within a few weeks the land will be practically denuded of all vegetation. Spraying Vines Vineyardists at Yorba are using a new spray for vines which is said to revivey vines that are quite badly affected by the blight. The spray is the result of experiments made by a French scientist lately arrived and now in the employ of the Yorbas, who own extensive vineyards in that locality. The spray is composed of lime and bluestone and is said to work miracles among diseased vines. Communication from Livermore called attention turl water measuring meter file. Communication from Bros.

Superintendent Harrington of the Commercial Cable company stated recently that he believed the Angila would accomplish the voyage in six days, spinning out the wire while en route. When the last link is completed work will be finished, which has been contemplated for half a century. It is nearly fifty years ago that soundings were first made and surveys undertaken for a cable between San Francisco and the Orient. When completed the total distance covered by the cable will be 7244 miles, made up as follows: Manila to Guam, 1506 miles; Guam to Midway 2302 miles; Midway to Honolulu, 1160 miles, and from that point to San Francisco, 2276 miles. Ir is said in political circles that George B. Cox, the Republican boss of Hamilton county, Ohio, has declared war upon Senator J. B. Foraker. Cox refuses to affirm or deny the statement. According to the story, Foraker has been receiving too much credit for the recent convention in Columbus, in which Senator Hanna yielded to the President's request for endorsement for the nomination in 1904, and accepted State Senator Warren, an anti-Hanna man at heart for lieutenant-governor. The feeling on the part of Cox is said to have reached the boiling point when Senator Foraker requested of the President last week, the appointment of former Judge D. Thew Wright for judge of the District of Columbia. Judge Wright has been a Foraker supporter for years, but has not been in line with George B. Cox. Wright has figured in a number of citizens' movements, and has been spoken of prominently in connection with mayorality. Cox has opposed him in politics, and in private busi- Spraying Vines Vineyardists at Yorba are using a new spray for vines which is said to revivey vines that are quite badly affected by the blight.

WATER BOARD SHIES AT JOINT CANAL Refers Back Report of Litigation Committee for Further Information- Secretary Krick Gets a Censure The water board met Saturday afternoon; those present were: Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Shephard Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. Zeyn of the ditch committee reported completion of the Wm. Rorden ditch. Further time was granted the committee on the matter of the Orange, Adele, Cypress St. ditch. Petition from Jas. Wool et al asked the board to cement that portion of ditch running from East St, and running parallel to and between Santa Ana and South Sts. Petition was referred to the ditch committee to report at next meeting. Application was received from the Fairview Water Co.; also from G. A. Hunter asking the privilege to run pumped water in the company ditch. Referred to superintendent. Bradford introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolved, That the Anaheim Union Water company, a corporation, for a valuable consideration which it acknowledges to have received from S. Kraemer will convey to the said S. Kraemer the following described pieces or parcels of land in the Rancho Canon de Santa Ana, county of Orange, State of California, and situated on the Cajon canal of said corporation, between flume 4 thereon and the tract of land known as the Cota tract, towlt: Such portions of the right-of-way of said corporation as are abandoned for the use of said canal by the construction and use of the four tunnels known as "A," "B" and "D," and "Crowther's." and the fill west of Crowther's tunnel, a description of the location of which tunnels is contained in the deed of even date herewith executed by Samuel Kraemer and Angelina Kraemer, his wife, to said corporation, and which deed is hereby referred to for more particular description. Said right of way being a portion of the tract of land marked "M. Yorba" on the map annexed to the final decree of partition in the case of Andrea E. Davila et al vs. Prudencio Yorba et al in the district court of the 7th judicial district of the State of California, and in and for the county of Los Angeles. And Wm. Crowther and P. H. Krick president and secretary, respectfully of said corporation, are hereby directed to execute, acknowledge and deliver the joint water at the point of separation can be made, taking into consideration the fact that the A. U. W. Co. must turn 100 inches to the Bixby land, above the said point of separation when ever required; and that detailed plans be made therefor and made part of the agreement. "7th. That the opinion of our attorney as to whether the board of directors can sell an interest in our right of way without the consent of the stockholders; also as to whether the size of the ditch or the method of carrying the water can be altered under the tenure by which our right of way is held, be attached to the report." Sherwood supplemented his motion with the following remarks upon the subject: Mr. Chairman: I desire to make an explanation of my reasons for moving what might be termed amendments to the report of the committee; and I have written out my remarks and will take up the subjects in the same order as in the motion. 1st. My recollection of the exact terms of the 'Irvine Contract' is somewhat hazy, indeed I do not recollect that I ever saw it. That this information should be placed before us to aid in an intelligent comprehension of the subject does not seem to me to admit of denial. 2d. The right of way across Irvine's land required (though for what purpose required does not appear in the report) is, in the absence of exact information, about 1000 feet in length and 60 feet in width, making an area of about one and one-half acres. For this and his "water rights," the nature and value to us of which are not disclosed in the report, we are invited to pay the value of one-half of 100 shares of stock of the S. A. V. I. Co., or about $2200. As the committee values land for right of way purposes in that locality at $100 an acre, it follows that the remainder of this sum or $2125 must be charged to the "water right" the value to us of which it devolves upon the committee to set forth. 3d. According to my information our right of way across the Bixby land, an interest in which is sought by the S. A. V. I. Co., is held by prescription or use and to give a "satisfactory" title to it as that term is ordinarily used would undoubtedly cost us more money than we care to part with at the present. It is also encumbered by a mortgage. In this connection, also, an interesting legal question arises. Our attorney recently advised us when the matter of building a temporary flume from the headgate to the division gate over the lands of Irvine, the very same now under discussion, where our right is also by use, that we could not do so.

Deeds of right way from Rorden, Powers and Kaller accepted. Moved by Hale, seconded by Sherwood, That the secretary be censured for suppressing the Melrose bill in his report to the press and that in the future he shall give exact reports unless otherwise ordered. 3d. According to my information our right of way across the Bixby land, an interest in which is sought by the S.A.V.I.Co., is held by prescription or use and to give a "satisfactory" title to it as that term is ordinarily used would undoubtedly cost us more money than we care to part with at the present. It is also encumbered by a mortgage. In this connection, also, an interesting legal question arises. Our attorney recently advised us when the matter of building a temporary flume from the headgate to the division gate over the lands of Irvine, very same now under discussion, where our right is also by use, that we could not do so without the consent of Irvine. How then do conditions so change, after passing the head-gate, that we may not only build a cement conduit, but may also increase the capacity of the canal and admit another company to its privileges? 4th. The principles upon which the claims of riparian owners below the point of diversion have been settled has been, that each company must take care of those on its own side. We give Yorba 200 inches. Recently the suit with the Bixbys was settled by giving them 100 inches. The riparian "water rights" of Irwin concern the other side of the river, and if it is the future Irvine is to have his water in troughs the S.A.V.I.Co. should furnish it to him, as we supply the Bixbys. 5th. The size and form of the proposed ditch, and the details of construction are important matters that should be included in the proposed agreement. As the irrigators of this company are unable to be inconvenienced by the work of construction they should have the say as to when the work should be done, that they may suffer as little loss as possible. It is not inconceivable that unless their interests are properly safe-guarded in this particular, great loss and damage might be suffered. 6th. One of the most difficult features of the proposed agreement, and naturally the one that has been given the least attention is the division of the water in the joint canal. The fact that the S.A.V.I.Co.'s water will be dropped 40 feet after the division, makes it necessary that the water should be divided over a weir high enough not to be effected by this circumstance. As the possible grade of the canal is very small it is questionable whether this sufficient height of weir can be secured and still leave sufficient velocity to prevent deposits of sand in the canal. The problem is complicated by the fact that an intermittent stream of varying quantity must be turned out to the Bixbys when wanted, just above the point of division. Further negotiations should be suspended until this vital problem is solved. 6th. Not being an authority on powers of boards of directors I ask for the opinion of the attorney as to whether we have authority to sell a portion or interest in our right of way without the consent of the stockholders. If we can sell one half, it would seem to me good logic that we could sell the whole without their consent, which is more or less absurd. There remains to be considered the question of compensation. The estimate value of the portion of the canal in question was prepared by Mr.Kellogg and myself from the most meager information, in a few hours' time, and is little better than a guess. From Information that I have since gathered, and a better knowledge of prices and conditions, I believe that it is much too low. It was not intended to represent what the canal has cost the A.U.W.Co. which it devolves upon the committee to set forth. 3d. According to my information our right of way across the Bixby land, an interest in which is sought by the S.A.V.I.Co., is held by prescription or use and to give a "satisfactory" title to it as that term is ordinarily used would undoubtedly cost us more money than we care to part with at the present.

I have never met any one who gave me a stronger impression of honesty and sincerity than Irvin McDowell. He was then in the prime of life—40 or 45 years old—powerfully built, but rather ponderous in movement, kindly and simple in manner, with a very pleasant, soldierly face, a water drinker and almost a vegetarian. After the cruel war was over I met him one day in some foreign city—Vienna, I think—and as we were conversing he said, "Strange, isn't it, our encounter today?" "Why so, general?" "Have you forgotten? This is the 31st of July—the anniversary of Bull Run. Had I won that battle I would have been one of the most popular men in the United States and you would have been another. I need not say how much it is the other way with us now." But I do not think his countrymen blamed him after all. When I went to the United States some years ago, I found him in command at San Francisco—much changed, aged and sad, but courteous and kindly as ever. I told him that I had in a place of honor at home the photograph which he gave me before he left my lodgings the day he was looking for Barry's guns. "And I suppose," he said, "your friends ask: 'Who on earth was General McDowell?' — Sir W. H. Russell in North American Review. A Great Screamer. More than 50 years ago Lachlan McDonald left his home in Strathspey, Scotland, and went to the shores of Lake Winnipeg. He did not neglect to carry with him his beloved bagpipe, and many an evening it spoke to him of the old home beyond the seas. Even in the daytime, when he was busy in the woods felling trees, he would have it by his side, and on one occasion he had reason to be glad that it was so near. He was merrily swinging his ax, when he was suddenly surrounded by a party of Indians, who looked very mididable as they drew nearer, gesticulating in a particularly threatening manner. Things began to seem ominous, when a happy thought came to the Scotchman. Scissing his bagpipe, he blew a blast so loud and long and shrill that the startled red men looked upon him for a moment in consternation and then took to their heels, never stopping till the thick shadows of the forest hid them from the man who could give vent to such an unearthly scream. They did not forget that prolonged cry; from that time the Scotchman was known among them as "the great screamer of the palefaces." — Exchange WHERE THE JOKE CAME IN The Boys Hauled the Professor Back, Much to Their Chagrin. A very good story is told of the head of a college who was the possessor of a very clumsy, old fashioned vehicle to which he was very partial and which he constantly used in riding through the streets of the town, to the disgust of most of the students. A plan was formed among some of the boys that on a certain night they would remove this offensive vehicle from the coachhouse to a wood about half a mile from the college. Their intention was to run the carriage into the thickest of the woods and underbrush and leave it there. But the principal by some means learned or suspected their intention. Accordingly, in the evening, he quietly went out to the coachhouse, and well wrapped up, crouched in a corner of the carriage and waited. Soon the boys came, very stealthily, and without looking into the vehicle, began their operations very quietly, and in whispers, and with many a "Hush" and "Take care" and "Look out," they succeeded in getting it out of the house and yard and into the road. There they were all right, but they were puzzled to find the thing so heavy to haul, and amid grumblings and puffings and pantings, varied occasionally with a strong expression of disgust, they succeeded in reaching the woods, the principal listening to their complaints and rather enjoying the situation. Having with some difficulty backed the carriage into the brush, they began to congratulate each other on the success of their maneuver. The old gentleman, letting down the window to their utter surprise and alarm, very quietly said: "Now, young gentlemen, just take me back very carefully, if you please." — Spare Moment. Go to E. W.
