WATER DISCUSSION ARMOR REPLIES TO SHERWOOD AND EYMANN Quotes from Record to Show A. U. W. Co. First Proposed Joint Agreement The first appearance in print of G. W. Sherwood's latest effusion was under the caption: "Local Director Replies to S. A. V. I. Co. President." This caption was a misnomer, since nowhere in the two columns of newspaper space occupied by that effusion was there any reply to anybody or anything. The writer of that screed evidently thinks that to blacken white paper with printer's ink, conveying to the public unfounded charges, sneers and insinuations against an associate company and its officers, is to discuss the proposed agreement between the two companies. As a matter of fact everything said by Sherwood in disparagement of our company and its officers, against their integrity, truthfulness and fair-dealing, is absolutely false, a pure invention of his own diseased brain. Suppose that those on the other side should simply report what they hear about him, his personal irregularities, his professional incompetency and his utter unreliability, what good would it do? While it might all be true, as against the falsehoods he is promulgating against us, yet it would throw no light upon the questions involved in the proposed agreement; therefore we do not intend to introduce any new personalities into the controversy at this time, but simply defend ourselves where assailed. Sherwood accuses us of "butting in" to the controversy, regardless of advice given the editor of the Fullerton News. The cases are not parallel; the News was not maligned in advance of its "butting in" as we were. Even the law, which is made to keep the peace, permits a man to defend himself. The next ingredient of Sherwood's concoction was the old exploded denial of an agreement between the companies. In the Anaheim Gazette of May 15, 1902, he can find the following explanation of the seeming contradiction not to be mentioned in the century with!"—Sherwood for stupidity. "With regard to the proposed division of water," the gentleman reminds us of a lad in Iowa who went swaggering about among the rest of the small fry. "Oh! you fellows don't amount to nothing'. If I had a mind to I could break the crank right off this windlass." If there is an engineer practicing his profession in the State who cannot divide the water accurately in that joint canal under the proposed conditions, then he ought to retire from practice and study up. "The water power proposition is getting quite well understood, thank you." It ought to after the ventilation we gave it last week! A gentleman from Los Angeles referred to our article as being "as clear and convincing as a supreme court decision." It should be read by everybody. Sherwood's next statement must be qualified so as to read: Many of "the stockholders of the A. U. W. Co. are at present in favor of co-operation with the S. A. V. I. Co. on a fair basis." Some are not; with the latter may be classed the chief obstructionist, Sherwood, notwithstanding his repeated assertions to the contrary. He tries to lay the blame on us for the friction: but it only developed with his coming. It is the same, too, in his own company, while there is none in ours, showing where the trouble originates. He next makes a fling at the River-side meeting and our part thereof. It so happened that we were invited to present a paper, and it was done; but we did not get up and announce that we were president of the Anaheim Union Water company as Sherwood did, thereby causing private comment. Talk about "raw work," "imbecile vagaries," "patent imbecility," "imbecile double dealing," "fabricator," "bunco steerer," "political football," and you describe the Sorrel Sage of the Sandwash, who continually prates about our own nominal interest in the company and mustn't cross his dead-line. He even seems to think it discreditable to quote from the classic authors, preferring the slang of the bar-room and the gaming table, "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,"—there, we've committed another indiscretion, according to Sherwood, in quoting from a standard work. Respectfully, S. ARMOR. REPLY TO EYMANN Products of the Soil Equaling the Best Ever Grown Anywhere. The permanent exhibit of products from different parts of the county that is being established at the chamber of commerce at Santa Ana is all practically in place; the latter part of this week will see this display completed. Mr. Sandilands goes over to the county seat on Friday to put the finishing touches to our local display, which, considering that only four weeks was given him to get everything into shape and that everyone was either too busy or away on a vacation and consequently unable to give the project much attention, it is confidently believed that the result of his efforts will compare favorably with any other section of the county. Donations were received from the following enterprising citizens: Wm. A. Newberry, plums and peaches; Chas. Allgeyer, stock beets; Frank Walters, melons. squash, tomatoes, beans, peppers and cucumbers; Mrs. C. Gates, orange cling peaches; C. O. Rast, grapes; Tim Carrol, palms; F. L. Flecher, corn and millet; G. W. Sayder, pears and Valentia late oranges; John Selinger, Kelsey plums; L. Nemetz, pumpkin and corn; J. P. Zeyn, mammoth pumpkin; G. B. Key, grapefruit and peaches; C. W. Spooner, lemons; Geo. Collier, corn; J. Tayles, lemons; J. Everhardy, dates: Asher & Falkenstein, trimmings; F. A. Backs, trimmings, etc.; Stern Bros., trimming, etc.; Chas. Federman, trimming, etc. Sherwood accuses us of "butting in" to the controversy, regardless of advice given the editor of the Fullerton News. The cases are not parallel; the News was not maligned in advance of its "butting in" as we were. Even the law, which is made to keep the peace, permits a man to defend himself. The next ingredient of Sherwood's concoction was the old exploded denial of an agreement between the companies. In the Anaheim Gazette of May 15, 1902, he can find the following explanation of the seeming contradiction on the subject: "These quotations are sufficient to show the scope of the denial of an agreement on joint work a year ago. It was true then, it is true today, that no agreement on particulars had been reached. That is what the two companies were trying to reach when the A. U. W. Co.'s directors put up a fence. It is also true that an agreement or understanding had been reached prior to that time as to the general scope of the joint meeting. At a joint meeting of the two boards of directors held in the city hall at Orange over two years ago the following resolution was moved by Pierotti, seconded by Crowther and adopted: "Resolved. That it is the sense of this meeting that all improvements hereafter made in the Cajon canal, from its intake to a point opposite the intake of the S. A. V. I. Co.'s canal, be made with a view to the ultimate use of said portion of said canal by both irrigation companies; that said improvements shall be made on plans to be furnished by Engineer Kellegg; and that the cost of such improvements shall be borne equally by said companies." That explanation was made over fifteen months ago, so it is nearly, if not quite, four years since the general agreement was entered into and the purchase of the Ballestero tract was effected. The resolution was evidently prepared in advance by the A. U. W. Co.'s directors, being written out carefully, while the names of the mover and seconder were penciled at the top during the meeting. We have the original and can produce it when necessary. Every director present voted for the measure, except one of the S. A. V. I. Co.'s members. These reminiscences show conclusively that the A. U. W. Co.' took the lead in pressing the proposed agreement, as something advantageous to itself. In short, while there was no agreement to build a submerged dam and other particulars that Sherwood was ranting about, there was a general agreement to cooperate on the lines now under discussion. Sherwood next quotes from the circular prepared by the S. A. V. I. Co.'s attorney relative to the Irvine agreement. That circular was sent to some 1400 stockholders and was printed in all the papers that cared to publish it; it was not put in a secret place for the stockholders alone to go in and look at it, like the Eaton report. There was nothing in it inimical to the A. U. W. Co. or to Irvine; hence there was nothing to conceal. It proclaimed to describe the Sorrel Sage of the Sand-wash, who continually praises about our owning a nominal interest in the company and mustn't cross his dead-line. He even seems to think it discreditable to quote from the classic authors, preferring the slang of the bar-room and the gaming table, "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh,"—there, we've committed another indiscretion, according to Sherwood, in quoting from a standard work. Respectfully, S. ARMOR. REPLY TO EYMANN About two weeks ago W. C. Eymann was in Orange and we "met by chance" in the city hall. In other states chance acquaintances discuss the weather; here they are just as likely to discuss the water—particularly if they are from opposite sides of the river. Our case proved to be no exception to the rule, so we discussed water for some little time, to the annoyance and discomfort of the lady who was waiting in the carriage. Had she gone into the newspaper and given me a dressing down, I should have accepted the punishment in all meekness as well-merited, but her companion deserves no consideration after the spectacle he has made of himself in the paper. Following the parliamentary rule that "it is not the man but the measure that is the subject of debate," I presented the principal arguments of the gentleman on the water power in an article printed in the GAZETTE, without even mentioning his name. These arguments were fairly stated and fully answered in that article—so completely so that no intelligent, well-disposed person can fail to understand the reasoning and to agree with the conclusions. Had the gentleman seen fit to summarize that conversation and place it before the public, stating the facts truthfully and drawing legitimate conclusions therefrom, it was his privilege to do so, and no exceptions would have been taken; but his effort in that direction was an abortion and reminds me of a little story. Once on a time a father and son attended a social gathering. As the son's mental endowment was decidedly inferior to his external appearance, the father cautioned him beforehand against saying anything to expose his infirmity. At one stage of the social intercourse two of his neighbors appealed to the young man for his opinion on the subject under discussion between them. After receiving no response to repeated questions, one of the gentlemen remarked to the other that the young man must be deaf or be a fool. Instantly the son disclosed the fact that he was not deaf by crying out: "O daddy, they've found me out!" The moment the young man opened his mouth, it gave him away; so the moment our friend rushed into print, his article showed that he was incapable of either presenting or understanding an argument. Under such circumstances there was nothing left Walters, melons, squash, tomatoes, beans, peppers and cucumbers; Mrs. C. Gates, orange cling peaches; C. O Rast, grapes: Tim Carrol, palms; F. L Fleecher, corn and millet; G. W Sayder, pears and Valentia late oranges; John Sellinger, Kelsey plums; L.Nemetz, pumpkin and corn; J.P Zeyn, mammoth pumpkin; G.B.Key, grapefruit and peaches; C.W.Spooner, lemons: Geo.Collier, corn; J.Tayles, lemons; J.Everhardy, dates: Asher & Falkenstein, trimmings; F.A.Backs, trimmings, etc.; Stern Bros., trimmingss, etc.; Chas.Federman, trimmingss, etc. When you are at the county seat drop in at the chamber of commerce back of the First National Bank on Main street and see for yourself how our display shows up and how the county is represented. The exhibit being a permanent one further donations can be brought in whenever they are ready. It is perhaps needless to add, that this display will prove the best medium of advertising that Anaheim has ever had. New Postoffice Postmaster Littlefield broke out his spinaker boom on Tuesday in the new postoffice, minus the plug hat. The new office is roomy and well ventilated, has plenty of light and its appointments are second to none in the land. The lock boxes are provided with Yak combination locks, and all keys to boxes in the old office have been called in. Take them to the money order window and get 20 cents for them. The furnishings of the new office are in stained oak, and call for favorable comment on the part of all. Mr.Dickel informs us that despite reports to the contrary there will be no rise in groceries; and Druggist Hatzfeld says drugs will be no higher. Marriage August Backs and Mrs. Arimond were married at St.Boniface church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev.Pather Dubble performed the ceremony. The newly wedded couple tookthe evening train for Los Angeleswhere a brief honeymoon will be passed.Both bride and groom are popular young people of this city and have many friends who extend felicitations upon happy event. Gun Club Troubles Ranchers of the Bolsa Chica district have renewed the fight with the gun club by causing the arrest of a gang of men employed in repairing the dam onthe charge of "obstructingthe navigationofanavigablestream,towit,Bolsa creek." The arrested men are J.H.Cole and five Japanese laborers,who were making repairs onthe dam Saturday afternoon when Constable Smithwick served papers upon them.Cole appeared for trial Saturday evening,but owingtothe latenessofthe hour arraignmentwaspostponedToMonday morning.A continuancewinter grantedtoSeptember10thwhenthecasewillbeheardinJusticeSmithwick's court.H.J.Forgyand Sherwood next quotes from the circular prepared by the S. A. V. I. Co.'s attorney relative to the Irvine agreement. That circular was sent to some 1400 stockholders and was printed in all the papers that cared to publish it; it was not put in a secret place for the stockholders alone to go in and look at it, like the Eaton report. There was nothing in it inimical to the A. U. W. Co. or to Irvine; hence there was nothing to conceal. It proclaimed to the world the advantage of co-operation to our company; this could be done freely because no other person or company can take our share of the benefits of co-operation away from us without our consent. Now why did Sherwood quote from that circular? To show that the joint agreement would be a good investment for our company. What inference did he want his readers to draw from that? Evidently that if it was a good thing for us, it must necessarily be at the expense of the A. U. W. Co., which is not true. He says of the circular: "But it does not explain with much detail where we 'get off.' Neither does it explain how far it is to the sun, and hundreds of other things; but it does not follow from such lack of explanation that the A. U. W. Co. would not 'get off' in good shape. In fact it would profit more in the aggregate than our company, outside the power proposition; and even that can be equalized by dropping its own water down for power at the same place that ours would be dropped. The rest of Sherwood's article, which is devoted to us, is made up of sneers; so a man who is gangrened with jealousy everything appears distorted. He talks about his people being prevented from saving their seepage above their headgate, in case there is a joint ownership of the Irvine right of way. Why, man, that joint ditch would be made water-tight to the division-gate! After separation each company would have full liberty to care for its own; there would be no loss from seepage. "Talk about the business ability of some of our directors—huh! They are on the subject under discussion between them. After receiving no response to repeated questions, one of the gentlemen remarked to the other that the young man must be deaf or be a fool. Instantly the son disclosed the fact that he was not deaf by crying out: "O daddy, they've found me out; they've found me out!" The moment the young man opened his mouth, it gave him away; so the moment our friend rushed into print, his article showed that he was incapable of either presenting or understanding an argument. Under such circumstances there was nothing left for him to do if he must open his mouth, but to descend to the abuse of the majority of his board and myself. He first accuses me of being greedy and later twits me with being a failure, two attributes which are directly opposed and neither one applicable to me. His discussion of the water power is neither honest, truthful nor logical. The whole subject has been canvassed in my last week's article. He says some of the stockholders of the S. A. V. I. Co. have been talking about me. That is interesting and applicable to the question. I was told that he had always opposed co-operation, being a crank on pumping; honors are even on the gossip; and I also am getting an insight into the character of some of the men whom we have to deal with. He talks about my bull dog grip; but he didn't show where it was fastened on anybody or anything—in fact, he himself proclaimed it a failure. Like Sherwood's "imbecile" this, "imbecile" that, and "imbecile" the other, Eymann's article bristles with stubbornness," "bull dog stubbornness," "blind stubbornness" and many other kinds of characteristics. "Slander stoutly and some of it will stick." Why don't this precious pair compare notes so as not to be contradicting each other with their epithets? They might as well throw the unabridged dictionary at me so far as there is any fitness in their epithets. Since so much has been said about my personality and characteristics, perhaps I may be pardoned for saying a word on that score. Few people spend more time and energy in looking club by causing the arrest of a gang of men employed in repairing the dam, on the charge of "obstructing the navigation of a navigable stream, to wit, Bolsa creek." The arrested men are J. H. Cole and five Japanese laborers, who were making repairs on the dam Saturday afternoon when Constable Smithwick served papers upon them. Cole appeared for trial Saturday evening, but owing to the lateness of the hour arraignment was postponed to Monday morning. A continuance was then granted to September 10th, when the case will be heard in Justice Smithwick's court. H. J. Forgy and J. Howard Bell have been retained to represent the gun club. This outbreak is the first move on the part of the ranchers since the decision of the War Department last winter in favor of the club to the effect that the Bolsa creek was not navigable and that the dam is therefore not an obstruction. OBITUARY BEDELL. Mrs. A. S. Bedell of Orangethorpe avenue died after a brief illness at the California hospital in Los Angeles on Friday last. She succumbed to bronchial-pneumonia. She was a native of New York and was aged 50 years. Her husband recently purchased the Bancroft place, and deceased resided there until her illness made necessary her removal to a hospital. The remains were brought to this city and were interred on Saturday. A large attendance of friends and neighbors were present to pay their last respects to the deceased. GARDNER. David Gardner, a resident of Los Alamitos, died at the Fullerton hospital on Friday night, from the effects of a surgical operation for relief of chronic inflammation of the bowels. He was a native of Wisconsin, and was aged 54 years. He leaves a wife and family to mourn his loss. The remains were interred at Artesia on Sunday. BLAYLOCK. Pansy Blaylock, the 17 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Blaylock of Smeltzer, died on Friday. The funeral occurred from the family residence on Sunday.

Fails to Support His Child, but Recovers It on Remarrying. Clyde Nickey on Sunday recovered his year-old boy baby, which, since the death of its mother in February, has been kept by the grandmother, Mrs. Carver. The latter gave up the infant on advice of attorneys, although it would seem there ought to be some law whereby she might retain it. Nickey married Mrs. Carver's handsome daughter some years ago, and drifted about from place to place, until his wife returned here last year, ill in health and broken in spirit. For months before the birth of the child Nickey never came near his wife, nor paid for her support, nor the expenses of her confinement. A few months after the birth of the child the mother, who before her marriage was one of the most beautiful girls in the entire county, died. Her husband was living in Los Angeles at the time, but showed so little respect for the memory of his wife that he did not attend the funeral. Mrs. Carver kept the child and has cared for it as her own. Some days ago Nickey, who two months ago remarried, asked to have the child restored to him. Mrs. Carver was desirous of being appointed its guardian, feeling she was the proper person to whom the child should be committed. On advice of attorneys, however, who informed her the father could recover the child, she gave it up. "It's like a second death in the family," she said, as she wiped away her tears. DEFEAT SCHOOL BONDS Voters in Districts of Bolsa and Randolph Oppose Them—Special Tax at Bolsa Owing to a complication of causes, principally internal dissensions over the location of the school building, the electors of the new union high school district in the Peatlands defeated the $15,000 bond election for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building by a vote of 90 to 54. After the failure, the board of trustees of the district met on Monday afternoon in the office of the county school superintendent, and in accordance with the law laid down in such cases, levied a special tax of ten thousand dollars for the build- PERSONAL MENTION HERE AND THERE Miss Paine of Los Angeles is a guest of Miss Julia Nemetz.

Forgy and Owing to a complication of causes principally internal dissensions over the location of the school building, the electors of the new union high school district in the Peatlands defeated the $15,000 bond election for the purchase of a site and the erection of a building by a vote of 90 to 54. After the failure, the board of trustees of the district met on Monday afternoon in the office of the county school superintendent, and in accordance with the law laid down in such cases, levied a special tax of ten thousand dollars for the building and equipment of a high school in the district, and an additional tax of $3,700 for its maintenance for the ensuing year. This settles the matter of a high school for the district, notwithstanding the fact that the bonds failed to carry at the election held last week. The trustees voted to hold temporary sessions this winter in the Bolsa schoolhouse. The appointment of S. A. Crookshanks as principal of the school was confirmed, and Miss Lena Sprague was chosen assistant. An election was held in the new Randolph school district on Monday on the proposition of issuing $8000 in bonds for a new schoolhouse, but it was defeated 16 to 1. The district takes in the Brea Canyon Oil company, the Union Oil company and Menges Oil company districts and comes south a short distance into La Habra valley from the mouth of the canyon. The children of the canyon have been attending La Habra school, and some of the voters opposed the bond proposition on the grounds that the new site selected, near the townsite of Randolph, is too far away from the oil wells and that the children would have to come down in private conveyance, in the same manner as they have been attending La Habra school. Another reason why the bond question was opposed was that some voters believed $8000 too much to invest in a school building for a small district. The district will not suffer for lack of a building, as the Union and Brea Canyon Oil companies will erect a temporary building which will probably be used the remainder of this year. Baseball Next Sunday, on the local grounds, the Olinda nine will cross bats with the Apex nine of Los Angeles. Olinda defeated Apex in a hotly contested game at the oil wells some two weeks ago, and has since defeated three other Los Angeles nines. Apex comes reinforced with Reilly Householder and Gannon, late of the Los Angeles Nationals, and an interesting game is in prospect. Cash Register Those in need of a standard-made cash register will find such a machine on exhibition at this office, to remain open for inspection for a few days. The machine is brand new, just out of the shop in the East. The contract price is $175, and the retailers price on this coast is probably not less than $200. The price this machine is offered at is $125, on easy terms to Terra Haute, Ind., to resume his studies at the polytechnic institute at that point. Miss Belle Lyon has returned from a pleasant outing at Catalina and is again in her position at the central telephone office. Mr. Lyons and family, old-time friends of G. W. Rexroad of Loara have arrived from Springfield, Mo., and will reside here. Miss Leonora Thompson and L. F.

Cal will spend a short vacation at home and will return to his post of duty in a week or two. John Johnson left on Monday for his mines at Dale. The first night out he camped in the canyon this side of Rincon. He expects to make the trip by Sunday night, and will be absent probably for some weeks. A party of eastern financiers will visit his possessions early in the coming week. Irene D. Adams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.R.Adams, and Noah E.Conda were married on Sunday afternoon at the bride's home on Grand avenue, Los Angeles, Rev.Edward Hyder performing the ceremony. They will make their home on East Third street. E.B.Foster was in town on a business trip from Centralia on Saturday. Mr.Foster has been indisposed for some weeks past, but is improving. He is too valuable a citizen to be long ill, and it is to be hoped he will soon be restored to his aforetime good in the department of dentistry at the University of California. W. Schumacher leaves tomorrow for a week's outing in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. During his absence the Palace will be in charge of Sidney Hoyt.
