Regular meeting of board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company with following members present: Directors Crowther, Hale, Sheppard, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. On motion of Mr. McDermont it was resolved to make needed changes on the Orangethorpe ditch, now in process of cementing. On motion it was resolved that the portion of the Cajon canal from the west end of the cut west of flume 12 to the Robinson fill be cemented. The cleaning of the ditch running through the Richman 40 acres in Fullerton was referred to the superintendent with power to act. Director Hale reported satisfactory progress on the construction of the zanjero house and that the work is being done in a workmanlike manner; also that it will be necessary to decide on the color to be used on same. On motion of Director Sheppard the engineer was instructed to carry out the wishes of the board regarding the surveying of the ditch through the Bixby property. The engineer’s report on sluice gates was on motion received and filed. A communication was received from R. B. Burns, engineer of the Southern California Railway Co., stating that the agreement between the A. U. W. Co. and the railroad, whereby cement has been hauled free of freight for use on Cajon canal between the head and Richfield, would terminate on Nov. 10, 1903. This communication was referred to the attorney, with instructions to inform him that this company denies their right to terminate the contract. A communication from Spreckels Bros. Commission Co. quoted cement (Billingham) at $2.90 per barrel, if taken ex-ship. Moved by Director Hale, seconded by Director Zeyn, that we order two STERN FAMILY HOME AGAIN Return from Four Months’ Visit to Germany—Trips to Paris, Vienna, Munich and Other Cities. Capt. Herman Stern of this city, Jake Stern and family and Gus Stern of Fullerton returned on Monday from a four months’ tour of Germany. All are in excellent health and spirits. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Stern, who sustained a fracture of the leg above the knee through an accident in which her nurse girl fell with her down a river embankment, has almost entirely recovered. The little one is able to walk about and will soon be herself again. In conversation with a reporter Capt. Stern spoke freely of his voyage to his old home. The trip was made in order that its members might be present at a family reunion in honor of the golden wedding anniversary of their parents, who were found hale and hearty at the old homestead, which borders upon one of the tributaries of the Rhine. The party visited many interesting points in Germany, France, Austria, Italy and other countries, sojourns being made in Berlin, Munich, Dresden, Vienna, Rome, Paris and other cities. Capt. Stern returns more an American than ever. For while, as he says, he loves the country of his nativity, the priceless boon of liberty and equality in his adopted land has such meaning to him that he felt better the moment he set foot upon American soil. It had been nine years since he saw the Fatherland, and he found many improvements. In some respects the old country is ahead of us, but in others America is first by a large majority. Notable is railway traveling, although German and French roads have rules which might be advantageously adopted here. For instance, no crowding of cars is permitted. Crowds on issuing from the races or other large assemblages are given numbers, and the first fifty are permitted to board the first car, which is then locked and no other passengers allowed upon it. WHO SAID DESERT LAND: Would-Be Appropriators of Firma Return From Daggett-No Locations Made. A deep-chested and rotund re-floated about town not so many ago that a large body of fertile owned by Uncle Sam in the region Daggett was available for preemption under the desert land act, and vows of gobs of wealth floated before eyes of those who crowded about band wagon. Others who tried swing aboard and were left deeply lamented their cruel fate they desired also to annex a plot the territory which was said to be tile and well watered. Upward of thirty gentlemen in this city, Fullerton and Placentia parted on Monday of last week for desert, which they reached on Monday night fall. Next day an invasion of the public land was made; visions of the preceding day vanished when it was discovered the land not worth taking up. The charm of the soil was such that everythi would have to be irrigated at once a week to insure crops of alfalfa and the fact that large borax deposits inhabited neighboring mountains elongated shadows of doubt upon alleged productiveness of the soil. Not a shrub grows upon the land which is desert pure and simple; river of water oozes through the country and water may be bad for irrigation purposes in abundance; but outlook was such that the entire parcel set sail for home the following day. Wm. Crowther, one of the pars was in town the morning after his rival. “How about that desert land?” quired the reporter. “I don’t know a thing about it. did not go with the party.” He hastened off to catch a train. P. H. Krick acknowledges being with the party, but says he will never go to Daggett again. A. S. Bradford was asked concer agreement between the A. U. W. Co. and the railroad, whereby cement has been hauled free of freight for use on Cajon canal between the head and Richfield, would terminate on Nov. 10, 1903. This communication was referred to the attorney, with instructions to inform him that this company denies their right to terminate the contract. A communication from Spreckels Bros. Commission Co. quoted cement (Billingham) at $2.90 per barrel, if taken ex-ship. Moved by Director Hale, seconded by Director Zeyn, that we order two cars of cement from Spreckels Bros. at $2.90 f. o. b. Anaheim. Carried. A communication from V. Montgomery regarding the repairing of ditch near his ranch was referred to the superintendent. A communication from S. A Bedell asked that a pipe through which he gets his water be taken up and put in again across Orangethorpe avenue so as to give him better service. To ditch committee. A communication from E. P. Murphy asked that the sum of $25, held by this company as part of the indemnity bond, be returned to him. Referred to the attorney with power to act. F. Baum requested that a new certificate be issued in lieu of certificate for two shares lost or destroyed. He presented an indemnity bond. The bond was referred to the attorney with power. Applications on file for the transfer of stock were granted by the board. On motion of Director Sherwood, seconded by Director Hale, the following resolution was adopted: "Whereas, by the refusal of Mrs. Bixby to permit the water of the S. A. V. I. Co. to be taken from the channel of the river, the proposed joint canal from the headgate down has become impracticable; therefore be it resolved that in the opinion of this board the above fact should not prevent or delay joint action on the proposed extension to Scully's Point and the acquisition of the Irvine riparian rights; and be it resolved the litigation committee are hereby instructed to at once definitely ascertain whether the S. A. V. I. Co. will proceed with joint action in this matter." Moved by Director Sheppard, see ended by Director Zeyn: "Resolved that the president and secretary be and they are hereby authorized to draw a warrant for $500 and interest at 6 per cent per annum from June 3, 1903, in favor of C. Gomber et al. in payment of the balance due on the purchase price of portion of lot 1 in block K of the Kraemer tract, said payment to be made upon the delivery of a deed and certificate of title to said property, approved by our attorney." Carried. On motion the meeting adjourned. P. H. Krick, Secy. SCHOOL REPORT. Report of class-standing of Elghth grade standings of highest twenty in class of thirty in five main subjects: It had been nine years since he saw the Fatherland, and he found many improvements. In some respects the old country is ahead of us, but in others America is first by a large majority. Notable is railway traveling, although German and French roads have rules which might be advantageously adopted here. For instance, no crowding of cars is permitted. Crowds on issuing from the races or other large assemblages are given numbers, and the first fifty are permitted to board the first car, which is then locked and no other passengers allowed upon it. On coming out of a race course Capt. Stern's number was 800 odd. He jumped upon the first car, where there was plenty of room, but was required to disembark and await his car. He discovered that his French was not up to his expectations, and he could not make the French conductor understand that we did not run cars that way in this land of the free and home of the brave. In Germany he visited relatives of Mrs. Strodtthoff, Mr. Falkenstein, F. Yungblut and other residents of this city. He paid a visit to Charley Fay in Missouri, and found our former fellow-townman in good health and enjoying gobs of prosperity. MAXWELL WINS A POINT Superior Judge Renders Decision in Case Wherein City Marshal Seeks to Recover Fees. Judge Z. B. West rendered a decision in the superior court on Friday which practically holds that city marshals in towns of the fifth class are entitled to fees the same as constables-for service of papers and other instruments in township court cases. It had been the custom, similar to that generally followed throughout the state, for the city marshal to receive no compensation aside from his regular salary for work done upon cases in the township court. Early in July Marshal Maxwell commenced proceedings to collect more than $500 for services rendered in cases tried before the justice of the peace. The district attorney filed a demurcer to the complaint, alleging that insufficient grounds were stipulated to constitute a cause for action, and argument was heard on the demurrier, before Judge West two weeks ago. The decision rendered today overruled the demurrer. Incidentally, in passing upon one of the points raised in argument on the demurrier, Judge West holds that city marshals in cities of Santa Ana's class are entitled to fees the same as constables for services in township cases. As this is the main-point at issue in the suit brought by Marshal Maxwell, it is thought that without doubt the final verdict will allow his claims. Wedding Bells Miss Maude E. Whalley of Magnolia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cuthbert Whalley, was married on Sunday morning and water may be had for irrigation purposes in abundance, but outlook was such that the entire parish set sail for home the following day. Wm. Crowther, one of the parish was in town the morning after his rival. "How about that desert land?" quired the reporter. "I don't know a thing about it," did not go with the party." He bastened off to catch a train. P. H. Krick acknowledges being with the party, but says he will need go to Daggett again. A. S. Bradford was asked concerning the voyage. "Daggett?" he said, "I never best it." Billy Hale denies being along, and the others have been in hiding since their return. Whe said desert land? No Receiver. In the superior court on Saturday application for the appointment of receiver filed by plaintiff in the case of Rawson v. Barton, was denied by Judge West and the case dismissed motion of the defendant's counsel. The case is the continuation of the content for the ownership of certain lands on peatland now in possession of W. W., Barton, and claimed in part Mrs. Delia Rawson, which case was decided adversely to the plaintiff in local court not long since, but in which a new trial was granted recently by Judge Biedsoe of San Bernardino, seeking for Judge West. An appeal against this order was taken to the supreme court, and pending the decision on the appointment of a receiver who asked for by plaintiff on ground that her interests will suffer if their management of the property be left its present hands. Saturday's action will therefore leave the present occupant of the property in possession pending the decision of the supreme court. Bowling A team of local bailers, composed of Ralph Jones, Claf Warling, M. Paichal, C. Fisher and E. Stone, defeated Orange team in that city on Tuesday evening. Three games were played Anaheim won by 290 pins. SAVINGS BANK The report is current that a saving bank will soon be started at Fullerton.
