WEIM WEEKLY GATE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1904. WATER SUPPLY OF CALIFORNIA Government Report Showing River Supply, Together with Watersheds North and South. In the southeastern portion of California 8,610 square miles lie in the drainage basin of the Colorado river, which forms the state boundary for about two hundred miles. Until recently, very little irrigation was practiced in this part of the state, because of the difficulty of diverting water from the Colorado. This river drains 225,000 square miles and receives its principal water supply from the melting snows of western Colorado and the high mountains of Utah and Wyoming. Its maximum annual flood stage of 50,000 second-feet occurs during the month of June. This supply is particularly adapted to the demands of irrigation, since the period of greatest supply is coincident with that of greatest demand. A reconnoissance of this stream by the Reclamation Service has been made, and a number of points where dams may be built and water power developed for use in industrial purposes and for pumping water from the river to the adjacent mesas were discovered. In 1902 the California Development Company's plant was the only one taking water from Colorado river to land in California. This company delivers the water to eight mutual companies. These eight systems irrigated 10,000 acres on 250 farms. The construction cost of irrigation works and 85 miles of main canals and ditches was $500,000, or $50 per irrigated acre. The Sacramento, the largest river of California, derives its water supply largely from Mt. Shasta and the surrounding high ranges in the extreme northern portion of the state. Pitt river, its principal headwater tributary, is bounded on the west by the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains and on the east by the California-Nevada line, is drained by the headwater tributaries of the Walker, Carson and Truckee rivers and several small streams. The elevation of this division is such that irrigation is principally fororage crops. In 1902 there were 519 farms with an irrigated area of 125,779 acres supplied with water from all these streams, springs and wells within the several drainage basins. The 257 systems, including 614 miles of main canals and ditches, represented a total construction cost of $629,248, or $5.01 per irrigated acre. Repimental Orders Col. S. H. Finley, commanding the Seventh Regiment, has issued orders creating a new formation of battalions for the regiment. All former assignments of companies to battalions and of battalion officers are revoked and the following formation announced: The First Battalion to be composed of companies F, I, C and A, with Maj. Truman Cole assigned to command; Second Battalion to be composed of companies B, E, H and L, with Maj. Walter E. Greenleaf in command; Third Battalion to be composed of companies M, D, G and K, with the senior captain to command pending the election of a major. In the First Battalion, First Lieutenant Raymond I. Folmer is appointed battalion adjutant, and Second Lieutenant George W. Bacon quartermaster commissary. In the Second Battalion First Lieutenant L. L. Vestal is made adjutant, and Sergt.-Maj. Alvin E. Wright is made battalion sergeant major. Commanders are requested to send in recommendations for additional appointments and to organize officers' schools in their respective commands. The announcement is made that the regimental commander has accepted an invitation to parade the Seventh Division Gate in place. Sunt.

W.... In 1902 the California Development Company's plant was the only one taking water from Colorado river to land in California. This company delivers the water to eight mutual companies. These eight systems irrigated 10,000 acres on 250 farms. The construction cost of irrigation works and 85 miles of main canals and ditches was $500,000, or $50 per irrigated acre. The Sacramento, the largest river of California, derives its water supply largely from Mt. Shasta and the surrounding high ranges in the extreme northern portion of the state. Pitt River, its principal headwater tributary, drains Goose lake in the northeastern corner of the state. The main stream traverses the northern portion of the great central valley in a general southerly direction and discharges into San Francisco bay through Suisun and San Pablo bays. Its important tributaries are Feather, Pitt and American rivers, all entering from the east. In 1902 water from all sources in this drainage basin was utilized on 4,438 farms to irrigate 206,312 acres. The 1,090 systems, including 1,748 miles of main canals and ditches, were constructed at a cost of $1,882,227, or $9.12 per irrigated acre. Twenty-eight systems headed in the main stream and irrigated 10,942 acres belonging to 394 farms. The construction cost of these systems with 36 miles of main canals was $49,369, or $4.51 per irrigated acre. Feather river and tributaries supplied water to 1,509 farms through 209 systems. The 618 miles of main canals and ditches and other irrigation works cost $869,841, an average of $12.96 for each of the 67,111 acres irrigated. Pitt river and its tributaries was utilized through 159 systems to irrigate 72,072 acres belonging to 382 farms. The irrigation systems, including 403 miles of main canals and ditches, cost $274,671, an average of $3.81 per irrigated acre. Water from springs was used to irrigate 6,094 acres on 156 farms. The 134 systems having 57 miles of main ditches cost $35,174, an average of $5.77 per irrigated acre. There were 224 well-systems costing $130,964, and 5,318 acres on 282 farms were irrigated at an average first cost of $24.63. Northwestern California is drained to the Pacific above San Francisco bay by the Klamath river and a few smaller rivers rising on the western slopes of the Coast Range. More than nine-tenths of the irrigation in this region is from Klamath river and its tributaries. In 1902 irrigation was reported on 926 farms and 56,272 acres were irrigated from all sources in the several drainage basins. The 473 systems, including 861 miles of main canals and ditches were constructed at a cost of $304,952, or $5.42 for each acre irrigated. Of the small streams entering San Francisco bay, Guadalupe and Coyote rivers are the most important. Both of these streams enter at the southeast-prolongation of the bay. More than one-half the irrigated area in this division is supplied from wells within the drainage basins of the several In the First Battalion, First Lieutenant Raymond I. Folmer is appointed battalion adjutant, and Second Lieutenant George W. Bacon quartermaster commissary. In the Second Battalion First Lieutenant L. L. Vestal is made adjutant, and Sergt.-Maj. Alvin E. Wright is made battalion sergeant major. Commanders are requested to send in recommendations for additional appointments and to organize officers' schools in their respective commands. The announcement is made that the regimental commander has accepted an invitation to parade the Seventh Regiment in Riverside on the Fourth of July and company commanders are urged to join in an effort to bring out a full attendance of the soldiers for the occasion. Upon the recommendation of commanding officers, Privates William E. Clark, Elbert D. Poore, L. J. Raferty, Robert Ridgway and Joseph B. Stebbins of Company I, Pasadena, are given honorable discharge for the good of the service; Private William C. McNamera of the Sanitary Corps, Corp. Arthur H. Hazard of Company F and Private Earl L. Shaffer of Company F are discharged on account of removal. Corp. Alva L. Jamison of Company F is appointed sergeant; Privates John C. Abbey and Alfred W. Hall of Company F are appointed corporals. In Company K, Sergt. John C. Hansen and Corp. George E. Tumber are reduced to the rank of private at their own request; Corp. Grow is appointed sergeant and Privates Kelly and Logsdon to be corporals. In future regimental orders will be issued the first of each month, unless special occasion arises for a change. Bfind Pig Expensive. Peter Laboret was sentenced to ten days in the Los Angeles county jail in addition to a fine of $150, by Justice Young in the Los Angeles township court a day or two ago. Laboret runs a "blind-pig" across the river from Los Alamitos. The severity of his sentence was due to the fact that this is his second offense. About a year ago he was arrested on the same charge and fined $100. An effort was made by his attorney to induce District Attorney Fredericks to lower the fine on consideration of the man pleading guilty, but the prosecutor declined to do so. Laboret therefore entered a plea of not guilty, but on trial was found guilty and the sentence above mentioned was imposed. Oif Gushers Two oil gushers recently brought in on the Brea Canyon Oil Company and Graham & Loftus Company's leases are producing oil at the rate of hundreds of barrels daily, and it is believed that they will be two of the best wells ever tapped in the Fullerton fields.

In 1902 water from all sources within these drainage basins was utilized through 1,003 systems to irrigate 38,-549 acres belonging to 1,387 farms. The construction cost of the 76 miles of main canals and other hydraulic works was $487,451, an average of $12.64 per irrigated acre. Nine hundred farms, with an irrigated area of 21.825 acres were supplied from wells. The 893 well-systems represented a construction outlay of $346,596, an average of $15.88 per irrigated acre. Owens river, a mountain stream flowing southeasterly near the eastern foothills of the highest range of the Sierra Nevada mountains and entering Owens lake; Mohave river, a desert stream flowing northward from the San Bernardino mountains, and San Jacinto river, draining the western slopes of the San Jacinto mountains, are the largest streams in the southeastern division. The first two belong to the great interior basin, while the latter, although it is west of the mountain divide, is prevented from reaching the ocean by the Santa Ana mountains and discharges into Elsinore lake. In 1902 179 systems were supplied with water from all sources in these several drainage oceans and irrigated 58,358 acres belonging to 820 farms. The 359 miles of main canals and ditches and other irrigation works cost $1,354,970, an average of $22.80 per irrigated acre. That portion of the great interior basin extending northward from the divide between the headwaters of Owens river and the tributaries of Mono lake to the northeast corner of Oil Gushers Two oil gushers recently brought in on the Brea Canyon Oil Company and Graham & Loftus Company’s leases are producing oil at the rate of hundreds of barrels daily, and it is believed that they will be two of the best wells ever tapped in the Fullerton fields. The new well brought in on the Brea canyon lease is the twentieth well sunk on that company’s property, every one of the others also being excellent producers. Not once has the drill failed on this lease to bring oil, and the result is that the stock has paid a regular dividend of six per cent per month the past three years, and not a share of it can be purchased at any price. About two years ago this stock was selling at only $2.50 per share, and today it is valued at hundreds of dollars per share. Married His Nurse. Miss Clara Smith, for several years a teacher in the Santa Ana public schools was married at the First Christian church in that town to Marley Fisher of Blake, San Bernardino county. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. C. Smither of Los Angeles, assisted by Rev. F. B. Taylor of Santa Ana. After the wedding an informal reception was held at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. E. J. Marlowe, on East First street. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher left for San Francisco for a short trip before returning to their home at Blake, where the groom is operator for the Santa Fe. The bride and groom first met in Los Angeles last July at the Sisters Hospital, where Miss Smith nursed Mr. Fisher during treatment for an accident. Friendship was formed which resulted in the wedding. Annual Picnic. The annual picnic of Camp Hi Blos, U. C. V., has been postponed to the second Tuesday in September. The usual observance of June 3 as Decoration Day for the fallen soldiers of the Confederacy was held with ritual services at the cemetery, where graves were strewn with flowers. ATTACKING OUR FRUIT! The State Department at Washton has issued the following notice from the United States consul at Germany: "I beg to call attention to an event which appeared in the Journal sace, published in the city of burg, under the date of April 22 I have not thus far been able to contain what steps have been taken excluding California evaporated but as the article has appeared in newspapers I think it advises bring the matter to the attention California producers, in order they may prove the falsity of charges regarding the prepara- fruit for German markets. The firing is a translation of the arti- question: "The introduction into Germacalia dried fruits is to be deden. The prunes which are sent California are frequently soaked bath of alum and glycerine and coloring matter, which gives weight, but hardens the skin. Les es and apricots are treated twice preparation of sulphur, in ore preserve the beautiful appearance of the fruit, and by this process they formed upon the surface of the residuum of sulphuric acid which very dangerous to the stomach."

W..5 46 Water Has Curative Powers. E. P. McCue, while drilling a well for irrigation purposes on his ranch beyond the river bridge struck a flow of water which has given evidence of possessing remarkable curative powers. Scores of people who have drunk the water have been cured of stomach trouble and diseases of long standing, while hundreds of people throughout this county and other adjoining counties besiege the McCue ranch daily, bringing with them jugs, jars and all kinds of receptacles in which to take away supplies of the water. The owner is making no effort whatever to advertise the discovery, as he intends soon to erect a large sanitarium on his ranch. Although he is giving the water away to people from all parts of the county, Santa Ana physicians say it is worth at least $1 a gallon. Many people who have drunk the water for only a week or two have been relieved of chronic ailments, especially those involving the stomach and nervous system. Reports of some of the most remarkable cures which have reached him have been found to be authentic. One man, a lifelong sufferer from a nervous disease of the stomach, offered Mr. McCue $500 after being cured, but the money was refused. A number of cures have been effected in this county. The well is located on the corner of the ranch, and the adjoining property, it is stated, could not be purchased for $40,000 today, while before this wonderful water was discovered it could have been purchased for comparatively a mere song. Power Plant up the River The directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company with the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company have entered into agreement with the Riverside Power Company, the Mercantile Trust Company and the Southern California Saving Bank, whereby the two irrigating companies, which hold bonds of the power company, give the right to LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST That Man Fuller Again Attorneys for the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Companies have filed affadavits in the Riverside superior court charging Charles H. Fuller with contempt of court in diverting water from the Santa Ana river for use on his alfalfa fields in violation of the injunction issued against him last summer. Fuller is alleged to have taken water out on May 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 24th, and carried it to his land near Corona, which is outside the natural watershed of the river, and therefore comes under the prohibitions of the injunction. The case will be heard June 14th. On a previous occasion Fuller was cited for contempt of court for the same action and paid a fine of $1 per day for each day which he had used the water in violation of the court's order. How Old Was Overton? J. Overton, the man who claimed to be a veteran of the Mexican war and to have reached the great age of 107 years, died at his home at Long Beach last week. A local paper a few days ago published an obituary of Mr. Overton, it having been reported that he had died the first of the week and the exertion caused by demonstrating the fact that he was still alive is believed to have hastened the end. With the passing of Mr. Overton comes the disclosure that the great age claimed by him is not a fact, but a delusion which the old man had gradually come to believe. He bitterly resented any efforts of his family to correct it, saying he was there and ought to know if any one did. His children have lamented the deception, but have hesitated to expose for fear it might excite and irritate their father and thus hasten his decline. Now that he is dead they desire the Power Plant up the River The directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company with the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company have entered into agreement with the Riverside Power Company, the Mercantile Trust Company, and the Southern California Saving Bank, whereby the two irrigating companies, which hold bonds of the power company, give the right to take waters from Santa Ana River for storage in a reservoir and transmission through the power house on the stipulated condition that all the waters so diverted shall be returned to the river to be used in the irrigating canals of the Anaheim and Santa Ana Valley companies. By obtaining the concession to divert and store the waters in a reservoir the power company is enabled to accumulate water to be used between the hours of 5 and 12 p.m., when they are most needed to develop night power. This taking away of the waters, however, makes a variable stream in the river, for which the irrigation companies are compensated by the agreement of the power company to return the water to the river. The agreement practically means to the irrigation companies a safeguard that none of the water for the six and a half miles from the "narrows" to the tail-race of the power plant shall be used for irrigation purposes in that section, but shall be conserved for irrigation in the Orange county valleys. The concession is an important one to both parties to the agreement and assures an increased flow of water for irrigating purposes here. A Grand Showing. The smallest mortgage indebtedness, as compared with its total assessed valuation, of any county in the State is not the only good showing made by Orange county. The fact that Orange county people are in fairly good circumstances from a financial point of view is again illustrated by the statement issued by the Board of Charities and Corrections and giving the census of inmates of county hospitals. Leaving out of the question the big counties such as San Francisco, Alameda and Los Angeles, a comparison of our own county of Orange with those of equal, or nearly equal, population is an interesting one and tells a wonderful story for Orange county. Here is a list of counties, which, with the exception of San Bernardino and San Diego which are much larger, are about equal to Orange county in the matter of population. The population of each county in round numbers (the census returns of 1900 being given) is also shown: County. Population.

The article discusses what steps have been taken toward inducing California evaporated fruits, as the article has appeared in other newspapers I think it advisable to bring the matter to the attention of California producers, in order that may prove the falsity of such articles regarding the preparation of fruit for German markets. The follow-up is a translation of the article ination: The introduction into Germany of California dried fruits is to be forbid. The prunes which are sent from California are frequently soaked in a pot alum and glycerine and in red vinegar matter, which gives them light, but hardens the skin.
