The Weekly Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY...September 3, 1903 UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR With the unconscious humor of a simian swinging by the point of his tail from a flying trapeze suspended above the Yorba reservoir, in his spectacular leap-for-life performance already a matter of local history, Mr. Sherwood, in his latest epistle to people without a memory, avers his solemn conviction as follows: "Any one who says that I recommended a fifty-foot dam, or a dam of any other height at the Yorba reservoir, is a liar." So? Well, what do the records show? That during 1901, while another engineer was in the employ of the water company, this gentleman continued in an attitude of extreme hostility toward the reservoir; but that in 1902, when this gentleman's control of the board gave him an opportunity of ousting the engineer and substituting himself in the berth, he veered around, catching a stiff breeze in the leeward spinnaker, and changed his position to one of extreme favor regarding it. Here is what the records show: DURING KELLOGG'S ADMINISTRATION AS ENGINEER. March 2, 1901. Moved by Pierotti, seconded by Bradford, that J. C. Travis be and he is hereby authorized to procure for this company from P. J. Yorba an option to purchase at any time within sixty days from date, for the sum of $62.50 per acre, the 100-acre tract known as the Yorba reservoir site, together with right-of-way for ditch through his land to and from said site; and he is further authorized to pay to said Yorba $100 for said option, which sum of $100 is to be applied to the purchase price if the company shall exercise its option to purchase; and provided further that this company shall have the privilege of doing what is necessary on said land during the period of said option, to determine its availability as a reservoir. Mr. Sherwood, in the language of one of the boards "bucked the proposition from the start. During this entire year he continued to inveigh against the executive session, when much of the deliberation regarding the purchase of the site was carried on behind closed doors." S. A. V. I. Co., that plans be made for the improvement of the main canal as follows: * * * That from the latter point (on the Cajon ditch) TO THE SITE OF THE YORBA RESERVOIR the capacity be increased to 3000 miners' inches; that from the reservoir site to the Tuffree reservoir the capacity be made 2500 miners' inches, also that negotiations be entered into with users of electricity to utilize the power that can be developed by the above improvements." If these favorable reports upon the reservoir were the "preliminary draft of its epitaph," as Mr. Sherwood now avers, it demonstrates he was then guilty of obtaining money under false pretences in carrying out these investigations which he himself recommended always at the expense of the irrigators. "The height of the proposed dam was not mentioned, * * * and anyone who says that it recommended a fifty-foot dam, or a dam of any other height, is a liar." So says Sherwood in his latest spoutings. Exactly so. But Kellogg recommended a dam forty feet in height, and Sherwood, as we have shown, recommended that surveys be made to ascertain IF THE DAM COULD NOT BE MADE TECHNICALLY FEET HIGHER. "If you say that I recommended a dam of fifty feet says this humorous gentleman, "you are a liar." If another breath he says these references were only to "preliminary draft of an epitaph" to the enterprise. The gentleman is welcome to either horn of his dilemma. Either he is guilty of obtaining employment under false pretenses, or he is entitled to credit for discovery of a new process of notation, and that forty and ten manas as many as even the most shifty thimble-rigger might for the nonce desire. LETTERS come from various parts of the state asking for copies of our issue of some weeks ago containing reference to the walnut blight. A lady in Oakland, who owns sixty acres of walnuts in Ventura affected walnut blight, saw a reference in an up-county paper to an article and has acquired the idea that a meeting growers had been held to discuss the matter. No meeting has been held, at least no such reference made in our article, which appeared in the issue August 20th. Copies of this paper have been forwarded to various persons writing for them, and we hope facts contained therein will be read with interest. This has been no meeting of walnut growers to consider whether there should be and that not only attend Mr. Sherwood, in the language of one of the board "bucked the proposition from the start. During this entire year he continued to inveigh against the executive session, when much of the deliberation regarding the purchase of the site was carried on behind closed doors. He voted squarely against this motion, which was nevertheless carried, and he sought to place contumely upon the board for engaging in secret sessions. Yet in the following year, when he controlled the board and elected himself president, he personally proposed secret session after secret session, and was finally able to adopt a resolution expelling newspaper men from attending the meetings of the board: May 4, 1901. Moved by Adams, seconded by Pierotti, that the option upon the reservoir site be exercised, etc. Mr. Sherwood voted against the resolution. The company's engineer had in the meantime submitted comprehensive reports showing the availability of the site for reservoir purposes, yet the gentleman referred to continued to buck the proposition with an earnestness worthy of a better cause. August 24, 1901. An agreement was entered into with Yorba, in lieu of the option, for the purchase of 82¼ acres at $62.50 per acre. The company's engineer had reported that only this quantity of land was necessary. Sherwood as usual voted against the purchase, but it was carried. January 9, 1902, final payment was made to Yorba, but Sherwood voted against the payment. While these matters were under consideration by the board, Kellogg made frequent reports concerning progress of work on the reservoir and Sherwood never lost an opportunity of showing his hostility toward it. DURING SHERWOOD'S ADMINISTRATION AS ENGINEER. At the annual election in the latter part of January, 1902, Sherwood succeeded in gathering together enough votes to elect himself president of the company. Among the first acts of his administration was to summarily discharge the company's engineer, and install himself in his place. Engineer Kellogg continued in the employ of the company until the completion of the work of cementing a stretch of the upper ditch, but he left the company's employ early in the summer of last year. Mr. Sherwood succeeded in appointing himself and another member of the board as a committee to continue the "examination of the Yorba reservoir," the company having already purchased the site, in obedience to reports of the former engineer. At the meeting of the board in June, 1902, Sherwood, reporting for the committee, referred to the work as follows. That the estimates of a capacity [of the reservoir] be reviewed and a survey made to ASCERTAIN IF THE DAM CANNOT BE BUILT TEN FEET HIGHER. In the month of July following he reported further LETTERS come from various parts of the state asking for copies of our issue of some weeks ago containing reference to the walnut blight. A lady in Oakland, who owns sixty acres of walnuts in Ventura affected with blight, saw a reference in an up-county paper to an article and has acquired the idea that a meeting growers had been held to discuss the matter. No meeting has been held, at least no such reference made in our article, which appeared in the issue August 20th. Copies of this paper have been forwarded to various persons writing for them, and we hope facts contained therein will be read with interest. This has been no meeting of walnut growers to consider blight, but there should be, and that not only attend by growers of Orange county, but from all the growing counties of Southern California. Anaheim have a farmers' institute early in the coming spring. The meeting will last three days. Perhaps if no easy gathering of growers can be brought about, the man could be discussed at that time and invitations sent all the principle walnut growers throughout South California. A day might be devoted to the discussion and papers read by government and state pathology experts upon the subject. The matter is one fraught with greatest importance to the state and vigorous concerted action is necessary. PROF. NEWTON B. PIERCE, the government pathologist who has been located in Orange county for twelve years studying the vine disease and other subjects of interest to the horticulturists, has issued a preliminary report upon the former, in which he says his experiment control of the disease have so far progressed as to reiterable to place the facts before the public. Pierce finds that Lenoir vines are practically resistant to the disease, and has several things of importance to grape-grower in connection therewith. He kindly forwarded us a copy of his report for publicity and it will be found printed elsewhere in this section that it will be read with studious attention through this section goes without saying. ANAHEIM has cause to congratulate herself upon new postoffice, which the government occupies grace of that wide awake and enterprising citizen, Dickel. Something like a year ago Inspector Flint's postoffice department informed the owner of the building just vacated that additional room would have supplied to meet the expanding business of the office and that other and more modern fixtures must be vidited. When these were not forthcoming, Mr. Dickel who had set his heart upon getting the postoffice to the old location, where it had done business so years, at once stepped into the breach with an offer to office up in modern style, in a new brick busier and furnish it rent free for a period of years. That was accepted, and when the fact leaked out some boys wedded to the old location talked of writing postoffice department at Washington protesting at the change, and all that sort of thing. But it was told Mr. Dickel had lasseed the steer, roped him seceded and the incident was closed so far as the governor was concerned. Tuesday morning the following I was displayed at the general delivery of the old lishment: "Postoffice removed a block west." The new office is a credit to the city, and our are to be congratulated upon the energy and whose foresight has resulted." Mr. Sherwood succeeded in appointing another member of the board as a committee to continue the "examination of the Yorba reservoir," the company having already purchased the site, in obedience to reports of the former engineer. At the meeting of the board in June, 1902, Sherwood, reporting for the committee, referred to the work as follows. That the estimates of a capacity [of the reservoir] be reviewed and a survey made to ASCERTAIN IF THE DAM CANNOT BE BUILT TEN FEET HIGHER. In the month of July following he reported further upon the matter as follows: YOUR COMMITTEE SEES NO REASON WHY A SAFE DAM CANNOT BE CONSTRUCTED AT THIS PLACE [the point selected by Engineer Kellogg] IF A PROPER FOUNDATION IS MADE IN THE ABOVE-MENTIONED FOUNDATION OF BLUE CLAY. July, 5, 1902, he reports as follows concerning the bottom of the site: "At an average depth of 25 feet in the reservoir site he found a stratum of 'tough bluish yellowish clay, 14 feet thick,' at points distant 400 and 800 feet inward from the dam, and at other places, he found a good tough, hard bottom adding 'the borings would indicate that the stratum of clay IS CONTINUOUS AND UNBROKEN in this point of reservoir site." July 19, 1902. The committee (Sherwood and Zeyn) were instructed to interview P. J. Yorba for the purpose of procuring more land for the reservoir, the same being considered necessary by the increased height of the dam. Sherwood acted on this committee and voted for the motion. On the same date Hale moved, seconded by Bradford, and carried that the same committee be given power to act in arranging for a consulting engineer to make plans and specifications for the reservoir. Sherwood voted in favor of this motion, and acted as such committee. During the pendency of these matters, and when the contemplated joint ownership of the Cajon canal by both companies had been laid upon the table by the representatives of the S. A. V. I. Co., Mr. Sherwood showed his favorable attitude toward the reservoir in the following reference to it contained in his committee's report at a meeting of the board held some weeks thereafter. "Your committee recommends, in view of the fact that no desirable agreement seems possible with the gunboat Machias, which is speeding to protect American interests at that port, possess local interest to many of our citizens who will recall was that vessel which came upon the Cuban block signalling "Cease hostilities." In the fleet, among boats responding, was the torpedo-boat McKee which was Gunner Ernest Kellenberger of Buenos Aires. The story of the blockade has been told, and Berger's bravery is known to readers of this journal. After the fall of Santiago the blockade tightened, the war-scourged isle, and the McKee rocked in the outside the harbor of Sagua la Grande, at which the Americans at one time set fire to and burned small ocean crafts. The small boat tossed in the water and such things as eating and sleeping were for them unknown. Only thoughts of home, and the end front, and the stars and stripes eternally above them sessed the souls of these patriotic men. Sure there shot up from the deep the great dark hum strange vessel. The men upon the torpedo boat to quarters, maning the torpedo tubes. "Ahoy, McKee!" came the voice of an officer bridge. Then the lights of the American gulf showed her to be the Machias, and instantly they in colored lights, flashed, "Cease hostilities!" The blockade was broken and the mosquito which had done such signal service for its country over the waters homewardbound. So wherever this staunch boat shall plough through the sea, whether in Turkish waters or near home, fond eyes all follow her from this coast as well as elsewhere, in this land of the free and of the brave. DECIDUOUS FRUITS AND GRAPES Ripening Rapidly Under Influence of Sunny Skies—Sugar Beet Harvest Continues The weather during the week was normal and favorable for all farming operations. Grapes and deciduous fruits ripened rapidly and other crops made good growth. Grape harvest is progressing in all sections, and most reports show that the crop is an unusually large one and of excellent quality. There are some reports, however, of a shortage in the Santa Clara valley, mostly of wine grapes. Heavy shipments are being made daily from Sacramento and other points. The prune crop is somewhat late in maturing, owing to cool weather during the season, but the fruit is reported of excellent size and quality and the yield probably about average. Peaches, pears, plums and apples are yielding large crops in nearly all sections and the fruit is mostly of good quality. Drying, canning and shipping are progressing. Almonds are ripe and picking is in progress; the crop is about average. Oranges are in good condition, and in Butte county will probably mature earlier than usual, owing to favorable weather. Hops are yielding nearly an average crop and the quality is good; picking and baling are progressing rapidly in the Sacramento and Sonoma valleys. Sugar beet harvest continues. Beans and corn are in good condition and will make fair crops. Grain threshing and hop baling are nearly completed. Clear weather with warm days and cool nights prevailed during the past week in the San Joaquin valley. These conditions have been very favorable for the cutting and drying of fruit. All of the early peaches are dried or are on the trays, and of the late peaches only a small portion will be dried, as the demand for them fresh is good. Prunes are ripening slowly. The crop will be below average, but the quality is excellent. Picking will become general this week. Almond harvest is progressing. The yield is variable but quality excellent. The fourth crop of alfalfa has been harvested in some sections. Grapes are coloring well; the crop will be slightly below the average for raisin grapes, but shows a high percentage of sugar.

Maude M Winbigler et al to J W WALNUT PRICES ARE LOOKING UP French Walnuts Will Not Be on New York Markets Before Christmas. Cable advices from Loudon state that the stock of old crop Grenoble walnuts is entirely exhausted from first hands. On the strength of these advices today one interested here advanced holdings to 124 cents. Spot French are also a little firmer at 10 cents, and Chills are held at 10 cents, with supplies in small compass. The situation in all descriptions of walnuts in view of the late deliveries expected on the new crop imported and the high prices looked for on the new crop of California, is one that is attracting considerable attention among holders here. According to private advices from the Pacific Coast, the crop there is expected to be large, the last estimates figuring on upward of 700 carloals. This, however, is a reduction of over 300 carloads from early estimates. The views of the growers are high, their ideas being, it is stated, based on heavy business in futures, done subject to opening prices, and the fact that early shipments of the new crop of foreign nuts will be very late. The first arrivals of French and Grenobles it is expected, will not be available before December, and Naples promises to be late. Early arrivals of California walnuts it is expected will reach here about Thanksgiving. Street Fair Representatives of the street fair were in town this week talking with for the cutting and drying of fruit All of the early peaches are dried or are on the trays, and of the late peaches only a small portion will be dried, as the demand for them fresh is good.

The yield is variable but quality excellent. The fourth crop of alfalfa has been harvested in some sections. Grapes are coloring well; the crop will be slightly below the average for raisin grapes, but shows a high percentage of sugar. Pickling has begun in a few places. Large quantities of table grapes are being marketed. Stock are in good condition. In Southern California clear, warm weather prevailed during the week, with foggy nights along the coast. Deciduous fruits and grapes ripened rapidly, and conditions were favorable for beans and sugar beets. The hot weather of the preceding week caused some damage to lima beans and lat potatoes in Orange county. Grains threshing and hay harvesting are nearly completed. Sugar beet harvest continues. Grape picking has commenced in some places and will be general within a few days. The grape are said to be of superior quality and the yield is large. Melons are plentiful. Citrus fruits are in excellent condition. Walnuts are maturing, but will make a light crop. William F Kaiser and Millie A Kaiser to S H Neville—10 acres west of Orange; $6225.

Roman Wisser has returned from a week's outing in Trabuca canyon. Mr. and Mrs. Hayden have moved from the Baum residence to their recently purchased ranch south of town. Mr. Hayden will shortly begin the erection of a commodious house on his property. Mr. Rogers and family have moved into Mrs. Langenberger's cottage on Lemon street.

During all this discussion of water affairs there is one gentleman who knows as much if not more about it, than any other man, and who remains imperturbable as an iceberg, silent as the Sphynx. We refer to Boss Crowther, who is ever in the thickest of the fight, and never yet wrote a line for the newspapers in his life, and probably never will. No amount of criticism can ruffle the even tenor of his way, and he doesn't get mad to be called the boss. But he doesn't rush into print, not on your life. He does his duty as he sees it, and there the matter, so far as he is concerned, rests.

Women Wage Earners in Hungary I cannot agree with my Hungarian friend that there are no thin and pale countenances to be seen among these women I must in all sincerity draw another picture I caught its outlines, not in one of the crowded cafes or along the boulevard or down by the side of the blue Danube, but up a back street in one of the new quarters of the rapidly growing city I had seen the same sight in Bucharest the day before and knew what it meant. Brick and mortar and the many ways of lifting them up and down have always interested me.

One of the most amusing incidents of the recent Simla season was the imper sonation of two foreign noblemen by two gentlemen well known in Simla so ciety, one of them posing as the war correspondent of the Italian paper Roma. Skillful was the disguise; and admirably were their parts kept up tint the two distinguished foreigners spent the evening with a party in the commander in chief's box and afterward had supper on the stage with the actors without their identity being discovered. At supper the count appeared to find the wines of the English more potent than those of his own country, and the speechless horror of the mamma when he commenced to pay marked court to LEAVE PORT LOS ANCELES SANTA ROSA—Wednesdays, 11 a.m. STATE OF CAL.-sundays, 11 a.m. Arrive at San Francisco, Thursdays and Mondays, 1 p.m. For SAN FRANCISCO, calling at Ventura, Santa Barbara, Port Harford (San Luis Obispo, Cayucos, San Simeon, Monterey and Saint Cruz).

Brick and mortar and the many ways of lifting them up and down have always interested me. I know the slow, measured tread of big, red shirted Pat, as he clumsily climbs the vertical ladder, the hod on his back, and can still hear from the bricklayers above the cry of "Mort!" sifting down between the unfloored beams of the several stories I know, too, the more modern hoist, where a turn of the lever sends both brick and mortar flying skyward to the scaffolding overhead. But a girl of 16 and a gray haired woman of 60 were new types of brick and mortar carriers to m- and not in one place alone, but wherever a building is in course of construction. Narrow platforms instead of ladders are made for them, running zigzag up the outside scaffolding. The mortar (all mixed by women) is dumped into a tub, a pole is thrust through the handles, swung over the shoulders of two women, and the weary climbing to the top begins I saw one dark eyed, bare footed girl—she was pale and thin enough—clothed only in a shirt and chemise, rest the tub for a moment at the first landing and press her hand to her side as if in great pain, the older one waiting for her patiently. With all its beauty, dash and enthusiasm it must be a curious civilization which tolerates and makes possible a sight like this It made my blood ran cold and hot It was as if one had plowed with a fawn. But this custom, hideous as it is, cannot, I think, be counted for many more years against these people Their progress in social order is too marked, let us hope, to permit of a long continuance of this degradation — E Hopkins on Smith in Harper's Magazine Wanted Table boarders.

Skillful was the disguise, and admirably were their parts kept up that the two distinguished foreigners spent the evening with a party in the commander in chief's box and afterward had supper on the stage with the notors without their identity being discovered. At supper the count appeared to find the wines of the English more potent than those of his own country, and the speechless horror of the mamma when he commenced to pay marked court to her daughter very nearly caused the baron to die of suppressed laughter and apoplexy. Next day, when the hoax was discovered, there was some fluttering in the dovecots as to what they had said to the foreign noblemen and what the wicked count had said to them. The rest of Simla roured — Lahore Civic and Military Gazette. Mr. Greeley was not an orator in any scholastic sense. He had a poor and somewhat squeaking voice, he knew nothing of gestures, and he could not take an orator's pose, which adds such emphasis sometimes to the smatter and argument to be set forth. Not all his years of practice on the platform and on public occasions ever changed his habits and methods as a speaker, and he ended as poorly equipped in the respects named for the vocation as when he began. But he had one prime quality, without which all the others are exploited in vain. He invariably had something to say, and he said it in such clear and wholesome English with such sincerity that he was an orator in spite of all the rules. To state it briefly, of all the eminent speakers I have introduced—and more than once—there was not one who gave better satisfaction, different and notable as they were, than Horace Greeley. As a consequence, he came to me oftener and wore the best. We might or might not agree with some of his peculiar premises, as when he says, "The moment a drop of alcohol is received into the human stomach that moment the stomach recognizes a deadly enemy," but he set his audience thinking and illuminated his theme — Joel Benton.
