THOSE TUNNELS ENGINEERED BY SHERWOOD, AND OTHER MATTERS Losses Shown to Have Been Sustained by Water Company Through Incompetent Engineering—Law suit Result of It EDITOR GAZETTE: Permit me to refer in a brief manner to a reply of Sherwood to my second article. He says I would better quit raising oranges and running water companies for a living, and so forth. I wish to state that it is not I who try to run water companies for a living. I do not have to, as I have made a success of my profession. It is too bad that Mr. Sherwood does not like my figuring, as I would like to do a little summing up of results on those tunnels recently constructed with him as the engineer in charge. The first great blunder was made in the bottoms of the tunnels. It is acknowledged by the best engineers that the proper cross-section for a tunnel is one with a concave bottom, as the current of the water will then flow in the center of the stream and there will be less friction on the sides, and the whole stream will be free from eddies. Our contract was accordingly made, specifying that the bottoms of the tunnels should be concaved one foot. The method of execution is to first dig the tunnels with a flat bottom and then as the track is being taken up the bottoms will be concaved as specified. But when these tunnels arrived at this stage of construction it was found that owing to a mistake of the engineer the bottoms if properly concaved would be a foot below grade, and consequently, even when the water might be turned out of the ditch, there would still remain a foot of water standing in the tunnels, thereby making any necessary repairs or examination impossible. We were, therefore, compelled to abandon the original plan and leave the bottoms flat. This means that in addition to the reduced size of the tunnels the A. U. W. Co. stockholders. The matter has been fully discussed by the joint litigation committee and an agreement arrived at months ago whereby the interests of the A. U. W. Co. are fully protected. It is really out of place for those with limited information on the different phases of this question to make arguments and raise objections, whereas if they had more information they would at once see that they are making useless talk. I will assure all stockholders that if they will but wait until our agreement is fully prepared and presented to the board for its consideration they will find that nearly all of these objections are absolutely without foundation, and in fact nearly every point raised has been already settled in a manner that should satisfy every fair-minded stockholder that the interests of the A. U. W. Co. have been properly guarded. A. S. BRADFORD. ACQUITTAL IN BOOOZE CASE Short Hairs Won First Round in Liquor Trials at Darkest Santa Ana. R. S. Dickinson, a Santa Ana truckman arrested for hauling a keg of beer from the depot to the social club, was found not guilty by a jury in Recorder Willson's court after the jury had been out four hours. Former Superior Judge Ballard and Clyde Bishop appeared for defendant and Col. Heathman and State Senator Hahn of Pasadena, special counsel of the anti-saloonists, presented the case. A week was consumed in securing a jury, several venires being made necessary, and over 100 citizens were subpoenaed for examination as jurors. During the first four days only one juror—A. J. Wood—was chosen. As it afterward turned out, he is a brother-in-law to Heathman, favors the prohibitory enactment, and was the one juror who hung out for conviction against his eleven peers. Dickinson being a truckman, under bond to the railway companies to deliver freight, the case was never a strong one against him, and it was freely predicted that snow would be flying before he would ever be convicted. One of the witnesses for prosecution was a professor of the Santa Ana high school, who analyzed the vile stuff and found it to be nothing else than beer. WATER BOARD WHAT THEWISE MEN DID AT SATURDAY'S MEETING Transacted Rontine Business and Heard Reports of Officials and Committees. Regular meeting of board of directors of the A. U. W. Co., Saturday, October 3rd, with following members present: Directors Crowther, Bradford, Hale, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn, and with J. C. Sheppard absent. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. The ditch committee reported progress on the work assigned to it. The committee on house for the zanjero reported having examined the present house and to have found it beyond possibility of being repaired, and therefore they presented a plan for a new cottage. Moved by Director Bradford, seconded by Director Zeyn, resolved that the committee be continued and that they be authorized to proceed with the erection of the house as per plans and specifications. Carried. The reports of the secretary, treasurer and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. Moved by Director Bradford, seconded by Director Hale, resolved that the superintendent hereafter put in reinforced corners in all cement ditches which he may construct. Carried. A communication from the Southern Pacific Railroad company called attention to the impaired crossing of ditch at the crossing of the railway and Kroeger street. Referred to the ditch committee with power to act. A communication from the First National Bank of San Bernardino containing an order from F. Chandler was referred to the attorney for answer. Moved by McDermont, seconded by Zeyn, resolved that from now on irrigators be given an hour to share. Carried. On motion of Director Zeyn, seconded by Bradford, authority was given to the president and secretary to borrow the track is being taken up the bottoms will be concaved as specified. But when these tunnels arrived at this stage of construction it was found that owing to a mistake of the engineer the bottoms if properly concaved would be a foot below grade, and consequently, even when the water might be turned out of the ditch, there would still remain a foot of water standing in the tunnels, thereby making any necessary repairs or examination impossible. We were, therefore, compelled to abandon the original plan and leave the bottoms flat. This means that in addition to the reduced size of the tunnels and the unsatisfactory cross-section the contractor had $250 less digging to do, and yet, as he was working by the lineal foot, he could demand his full pay. A compromise was, however, made between him and the engineer whereby we were allowed $20 on account of this change in the plan and we had to stand the loss of paying the remaining $230 for work not performed. As soon as they were dug it was easily seen that on account of the tunnels being so uneven and irregular it would take a lot of extra concrete to line them. In fact the superintendent had to haul seventy yards of gravel and mix with it nearly a car of cement to fill up where unnecessary excavation had been made. But when the engineer put in his final estimate (not the first one, but the second) it showed the whole amount of unnecessary excavation to be only ten yards. Now the question naturally arises, "How did the construction crew ever succeed in putting that seventy yards of gravel and all that cement in a space of only ten yards?" Could it be possible that the engineer of the A. U. W. Co. did not want to show in his report what a wretched job he had engineered and how very widely the finished job differed from the specifications, and consequently reported the unnecessary excavation as ten yards, whereas it was really eighty yard? If that be the case, then the report is just about worth the paper it is written on. This is no small matter. It costs $6.75 to put in a cubic yard of concrete and to fill up those 70 yards which the engineer did not count cost us $472.50. But according to our contract the $472.50 should have been deducted from the pay of the contractor. If a proper report had been made and in that report the deduction of $472.50 had been made we would now be owing the contractor but $22 instead of being sued in the courts for nearly $800, costs and all. If this proper deduction had been made the contractor would still have made a fair profit on his work. Even though we are getting the service of an engineer for $5 per day, would it not pay better in the end to pay twice as much for more efficient service? Mr. Sherwood also argues that if my statement is correct that cementing one and a half miles of the Cajon canal has saved 50 inches of water, then cementing the whole sixteen miles would save about 500 inches. His argument here is like many other of his arguments—it looks all right on paper, but is not based on facts. The truth is that Wood—was chosen. As it afterward turned out, he is a brother-in-law to Heathman, favors the prohibitory enactment, and was the one juror who hung out for conviction against his eleven peers. Dickinson being a truckman, under bond to the railway companies to deliver freight, the case was never a strong one against him, and it was freely predicted that snow would be flying before he would ever be convicted. One of the witnesses for prosecution was a professor of the Santa Ana high school, who analyzed the vile stuff and found it to be nothing else than beer. Members of the social club, which temporarily suspended operations during the trial; were placed upon the stand by the prosecution and testified that liquors had been dispensed in rooms of the club. John Gerken, alleged head of the Santa Ana Social Club, was arrested in Los Angeles on Friday and appeared in the city recorder's court with his attorney and pleaded not guilty to the charge of dispensing liquors in violation of the prohibition ordinance. His trial was set for October. Marshal Maxwell and a deputy went to the rooms of the social club one evening last week and knocked at the door. It was opened, but when those within behold the blue-coated minions of the law they sought to shut the door in their faces. A scuffle ensued, in which some experienced rough handling. A Tustin farmer, who was found to be temporarily presiding over the deliberations of the club, was placed under arrest and taken to jail. The next day the club temporarily suspended operations, although it is said booze is not hard to get by those who know the ropes and countersign.

Mr. Sherwood also argues that if my statement is correct that cementing one and a half miles of the Cajon canal has saved 50 inches of water, then cementing the whole sixteen miles would save about 500 inches. His argument here is like many other of his arguments—it looks all right on paper, but is not based on facts. The truth is that the portions already cemented have been selected on account of their being the most wasteful and dangerous on the whole ditch and a proportionate amount of water, therefore, could not be saved all along the canal. In fact there is only about 100 inches lost between the present cement work and the Tuffree reservoir. How, then, could four or five hundred inches be saved by cementing it? I do not wish to be misunderstood on this question of cementing the main canal. I am in favor of it. But my contention is that we ought to attend to this development in the river first, as it will cost so much less and will save a much greater amount of water. I notice a recent article by A. A. Mills in one of the local papers and have read it over to see if there is anything to which a reply would be needed. He shows a half-understanding of the points which he discusses, but falls into the usual error of those whose quickness of seeing is greater than their soundness of judgment. To him little things look big, but important things he cannot see. He says that "the thing of more importance than all other points combined is the time that the water is turned out of the canal." But such statements and exaggerations are useless in this discussion. Only last winter we used in cementing the main canal as much time as will be needed in doing that portion of the joint work that requires the water to be turned out. No great damage was done to our orchards and ranches. In fact assurances have been given that the work will be done in the winter season and at such time as will least inconvenience R. L.

The quality of the beans is good, but the yield per acre will probably be less than given in early estimates. A new plate glass front has arrived for the Federman building, formerly occupied by the postoffice. The premises will be remodeled and a new stock of gents' furnishing goods put in. Mr. Federman is now in San Francisco purchasing new goods, and he will have some eye-openers to show the natives when he returns. Edwin I Ames of Chicago has purchased of Col. J. K.

The Krick ranch carried with it twenty shares of water stock and was set last spring to oranges, while the Tuffree property has no water nor improvements.

DEVOE'S HABEAS CORPUS Spends Night in Jail, Is Refused Ban and Pays Fine Under Protest. Sheriff Lacy arrested Steve Devoe at Long Beach on Monday for assaulting A. W. Jones, secretary of the Los Alamitos sugar factory, last December, and convoyed him to Santa Ana on the afternoon train. Devoe was accompanied by an attorney, who said he would bring habeas corpus proceedings in the superior court for Devoe's release. Judge West was at the time engaged with the trial of Roman Cooper, charged with the murder of Leonco Yorba some weeks ago. The Judge had an evening session, when Devoe's case was argued by District Attorney Head for the people and C. S. McKelvey for defendant. The issue was taken under advisement. Devoe assaulted A. W. Jones at Los Alamitos in December. Jones was badly beaten in rear of the office of Secretary Morenstecher of the Bixby Land company. Devoe lay in wait for Jones, who is a weaker man physically than he, and as a result of the fight Jones was compelled to remain in bed several weeks. He suffered the fracture of three ribs and was otherwise badly beaten. The case was not heard until after the lapse of some weeks, Devoe in the meantime exerting efforts for a change of venire from the Los Alamitos township court to Santa Ana, where the case was finally heard by the late Justice Freeman and a jury. Devoe was convicted, but when he appeared for sentence Freeman was ill in bed. A postponement was taken, and when defendant again appeared for sentence Judge Marquez of Yorba sat in Freeman's place, the latter being then upon his deathbed. Marquez imposed sentence in the amount of $94. An appeal was taken to the superior court, Devoe claiming irregularity in the trial. The findings in the lower court were approved. The next step in setting the law at naught was to appeal the case to the superior court for trial, and Devoe was again convicted. McKelvey announced he would take the case before the supreme court on habeas corpus, and proceeded to San Francisco for that purpose. Devoe simultaneously appeared at the superior court and offered to deliver Mr. and Mrs. Frank Packard of Los Angeles have been at Santa Ana on a visit with Mrs. Packard's parents. Zanjero Brunworth reports an increased quantity of water and ditches running bank full in all directions. J. H. Dorn of Pasadena was a business visitor in town on Friday. Mr. Dorn is a brother-in-law of the late W. P. Turner. Miss Lizzie Klecker and Miss Clara Leonhard of Los Angeles have been guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum during the past week. H. Hodel has leased the Del Campo hotel, succeeding Mr. Carver in the management of the house. Mr. Hodel will conduct the hotel as a rooming house. Charles Allgeyer was a business visitor in town a day or two ago. He reports plenty of work upon the ranch, walnuts claiming a good share of attention. Misses Winnie Adams and Lennie McLellan departed Thursday evening for Tulare and San Francisco to spend several weeks with relatives and friends. C. L. Adams, a printer formerly employed on various Orange county papers, but for some years located in the East, returned this week and was in town on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Boege were entertained at their home on West Center street some evenings ago by delegations from the Odd Fellows' lodge and Turner society. John Gardner has returned to his home in Fullerton from a trip to San Francisco, where he attended the grand lodge of the A. O. U. W. as delegate from his subordinate lodge. Mrs. V./W. Baker of Westminster, mother of the late D. M. Baker, editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin, celebrated her eighty-first birthday on Thursday with a family reunion at her home. Charley White, ticket agent for the Southern Pacific in Los Angeles, was in town this week, the guest of Agent Darling. Mr. White has been 30 years in the company's service, and is just as young and handsome as ever. Jacob Stern writes from Germany to the effect that his year-old baby Mr. and Mrs. A.R.Perry of Los Angeles were guests of relatives in the city over Sunday. Ray Clark of the Needles has been here the past week visiting relatives and friends. He is the guest of Mrs. Al Smith. D.G.Redit was down from Los Angeles on Monday for the first time in the motorcycle he has just completed on a visit to D.Redit. Robert Henrich, who was operated upon for appendicitis five weeks ago has recovered sufficiently to get about the house. He improves steadily and will probably soon be about. Victor Porter, a son of B.F.Portfolio of Orangethorpe avenue, while riding his bike on Sunday fell and broke his arm at the elbow. He will not be able to use his arm for several months. Dr.D.S.Bowen, wife and baby from Wisconsin are at Dr.Bickford's tuesday. Dr.Bowen is so well pleased with Orange county that he is preparing to locate and enter the medical field in this locality. His brother.D.Charles Bowen, who was here in this spring, will probably come back later in the fall or winter. Abner Medford, who gave his name as Thomas Meacon, charged with stealing the front wheel out of a bicycle belonging to Thomas Strain Placentia, pleaded guilty on Tuesday morning before Justice Ford of Fullerton and sentenced to twenty days in this county bastile. Filo Martin, a twelve-year-old lad who stole the canvas from Rev.Sweet's buggy, was sentenced to the same justice to ten days. B.V.Beebe has imported a line from the handsomest buggy robes even brought to this city. Mr Beebe bieves competition is the life of trade and waxes fat on it.

He held the hardhitting Oliveletes down to five scattering hits. He was accorded almost faultless support, the infield being especially strong. In the fifth inning with the bases full, and none out, second baseman Lewis distinguished himself by nabbing a hot liner from Reilly's bat with one hand and assisted in a neat double play. The side was retired on a sensational catch by Hartung while galloping backwards. In the ninth the visitors were retired in one, two three order through the assistance of a brilliant stop and throw by Shortstop Fischer. Outfielders Maag and Venzuela of the visitors made sensational catches of difficult fly balls.A game will probably be played by the re-organized Orangethorpes and the Young Americas on Sunday, the 18th inst. grand lodge of the A.O.U.W.as delegate from his subordinate lodge.
