DEVELOPING POWER FROM RIVER'S FLOW The Text of Agreement Between Local Water Company and the River-side Power Company. ANAHEIM, June 18, 1904. Regular meeting of Board of Directors of the A. U. W. Co., with the following members present: Directors Crowther, Bradford, Kraemer, Sherwood, McDermont and Zeyn. The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and approved. Director Zeyn reported as completed all the work that had been referred to him. Director Bradford of the ditch committee reported that the gate at the A. L. Porter place is being fixed in the same manner as that at the Freeman place, Mr. Porter hauling the gravel and doing the cement work. Moved by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director Kraemer, that G. W. Sherwood be appointed to take the place of H. H. Hale on the water measure committee until the return of Hale. Carried. A communication from W. O. F. Schwenckert called attention to the injury suffered by his ranch owing to water overflowing from the company ditch and flooding his ranch. He asked that the nuisance be abated. Mr. W. Berdrow also complained of like damages to the Werder property. Mr. A. Thomas then addressed the board complaining of the great loss of water which he suffered by his water flowing over the sides of the ditch and on the ranches of Schwenckert and Berderow, and he asked that the ditch be cemented, that being the only way out of the difficulty. Mr. Thomas and W. Berdrow agreed to do all the team work. Moved by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director Kraemer, that we cement the ditch between Santa Ana street and South street, the same to be of the capacity of 200 inches, and the hauling to be done by Messrs. Berdrow and Thomas. The attention of the board was called to the fact that Mrs. Steele of Anaheim waters of said river for use during the hours from 5 o'clock p.m. to 12 o'clock p.m., for the purpose of carrying the "peak of the load" in its furnishing of power from its said plant; And, whereas, the accumulation of said waters in said reservoir and canal and their discharge for the purpose of carrying said "peak of the load" during said hours, from 5 p.m. to 12 p.m., will cause an irregularity in the flow of the waters of said Santa Ana river, at and below where said waters are discharged by said canal into the stream of said river at the tail-race of said power plant and will produce an intermittent variability in the flow of said stream at the point of the intake of the first parties; And, whereas, for the saving of the evaporation of the waters of Santa Ana river during the summer months from said "narrows" to the foot of said tail-race and for other purposes, it is to the interest of the first parties that as much as possible of the waters of said stream, during said summer months, should be continuously conducted from said "narrows" to the foot of said tail-race, through said power canal; Now, therefore, it is hereby agreed by each and all of the parties hereto: (1) That the second party may construct and perpetually maintain and operate said reservoir as a part of its said power plant and utilize the same to accumulate said waters and vary the discharge of the same through its water wheels for the development of power, so as to enable it to carry said "peak of the load" through said hours, from 5 p.m. to 12 p.m. each day. (2) That the second party will thereafter return all of the waters of said river diverted by it to the channel of said river at said tail-race and release all further interest to the first parties; (a) Such as the second party may require to supply to lands under the "Wilbur Ditch," by reason of the rights of said lands antedating to construction of said power plant. (b) Such as may be required by the second party for the irrigation of its lands lying between said power canal and the channel of said Santa Ana river. (c) Such as may necessarily be lost by the evaporation and seepage from said reservoir and canal. (d) Such as necessarily may be used by the second party in sluicing out sand and debris from its said canal. (3) That during the months of May, June, July, August and September of each year the second party will so far as the capacity of said canal will permit, divert at said "narrows" all of the surface waters of said Santa Ana river and conduct the same through its said canal and discharge them into the channel of said river at its said tail-race; except as follows: (a) Such capacity as may be required by the second party to fusil its contract with I. D. and C. W. Rogers to convey 1000 inches of water through its said canal. Leaves Many Creditors "Dr." Murphy Departs for Green Fields and Pastures New—Who Will He Do Next? The sign bearing the name in gold letters, "Dr. L. J. Murphy," is gone from its place upon the door of the residence on South Los Angeles street, where the young "doctor" held forth for several months, the wonder and admiration of the community. No more will the bill collector, aweary of ringing the door bell again and again and receiving no answer, listen longingly for the footfall of the youth who, while within, deigned not to come to the door. "My collections have been stiff this month," he said, when at last the bill collector, threatening to wear out the bell with repeated ringings, succeeded in getting the young man to come to the door. "The dry year has made times hard with my patients, and they have not been able to get very much money in. But I shall have somethe first of the week and will call and settle." This was the brand of hot air the youth was wont to ladle out to rich and poor alike, for be it known he had religious scruples against paying even his most impecunious creditor. One day, the story goes, the delivery clerk attached to one of the carrying companies found himself at the door of the gilt sign, with a package consigned to the "doctor." marked C. O. D. (the package, not the "doctor.") Murphy appeared at the door and with his usual smile that was childlike and bland, took the package and said in soft, sweet dulcet tones: "I will step down to the bank in a moment and get the money for you." Then he sidestepped neatly, and closing the door with the gilt sign, retired to the inner recesses of his abode, leaving the delivery clerk minus his package as well as minus the amount of circulating medium stipulated in the bond. Now when the agent of the common carrier was made aware of the innocent play of the amusing little cus herein-before referred to, his choler knew no bounds, he purposed having another Moving by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director Kraemer, that we cement the ditch between Santa Ana street and South street, the same to be of the capacity of 200 inches, and the hauling to be done by Messrs. Berdrow and Thomas. The attention of the board was called to the fact that Mrs. Steley of Anaheim received on her last run a great deal more water than she was entitled to have. Referred to the ditch committee. Moved by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director McDermont, that the Anaheim zanjero be required to give the usual bond of $500, as required from other zanjeros. Carried. Moved by Director Zeyn, seconded by Director Bradford, that the president and secretary be and they are hereby authorized to draw a warrant for the sum of $4375, in payment of the semi-annual interest on bonds. Carried. Moved by Director Sherwood, seconded by Director Zeyn, that this company accept from Samuel Kraemer et ux the deeds of right of way over that portion occupied by the tunnels. Carried. Applications on file for transfer of stock were granted by the board. The ditch committee fixed June 27th as the official date for the beginning of run 3. The following resolution, moved by A. McDermont, seconded by A. S. Bradford, was carried by a unanimous vote: Resolved, That the president and secretary of this company be and they are hereby authorized and directed to execute and acknowledge on behalf of the company, the contract in the words and figures following, on condition that said contract shall be executed and acknowledged by all the other parties thereto and recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Riverside county, California, toowit: THIS INDENTURE, made and entered into quintuple, this—day of June, A.D. 1804, by and between Anaheim Union Water Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Anaheim, California; and Santa Ana Valley irrigation Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Orange, California, hereinafter referred to as the first parties; The Riverside Power Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Riverside, California, hereinafter referred to as the second party; The Mercantile Trust Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Orange, California, hereinafter referred to as the first parties; The Riverside Power Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Orange, California, hereinafter referred to as the second party; The Mercantile Trust Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Orange, California, hereinafter referred to as the second party; The Mercantile Trust Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Orange, California, hereinafter referred to as the second party; MET DEATH IN A WELL PIT. Caving Sands Bury Jesse Mott Twenty Feet Below the Surface. Jesse A. Mott, aged 22, who lived with his mother and younger brother in the Katella district, two and a half miles southeast of town, met a horrible death at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon while engaged in deepening the well. The family is from Kansas and had lived on the ranch only a few weeks. Mott was in the pit shoveling sand into a bucket, which was raised by means of a windlass by his younger brother and hired man. The pit was twenty feet in depth, with only one inch lumber casing. Mott had excavated two feet below the casing, when the sides of the pit collapsed, burying him under ten feet of sand. The screams of his mother attracted the neighbors, and soon a crowd of a dozen gathered, all eagerly anxious to rescue the unfortunate young man. It was nearly 6 o'clock before the body was recovered. Work was delayed by a second cave-in, while three men were at the bottom engaged in rescue work. They had narrow escapes from being themselves buried. When the body was recovered life had been extinct for some hours. Physicians who were called were of the (d) Such as necessarily may be used by the second party in sluicing out sand and debris from its said canal. (3) That during the months of May, June, July, August and September of each year the second party will so far as the capacity of said canal will permit, divert at said "narrows" all of the surface waters of said Santa Ana river and conduct the same through its said canal and discharge them into the channel of said river at its said tailrace; except as follows: (a) Such capacity as may be required by the second party to fulfill its contract with I. D. and C. W. Rogers to convey 1000 inches of water through its said canal. (b) Such intermissions as may be necessary in the prudent and proper maintenance and repair of said canal. (4) This agreement shall be perpetual, and shall bind the successors in interest of each and all of the parties hereto. (5) In case of a breach of either of the agreements hereinbefore contained by the second party, it would, from the nature of the case, be impracticable and extremely difficult to assess the actual damage suffered by the first parties; it is therefore, agreed between the parties hereto that in case of a breach by the second party of any of the covenants on their part hereinbefore contained, the amount of damage which shall be presumed to be sustained by such breach of the first parties shall be the sum of five thousand dollars. In witness whereof, each of the said parties has upon the day and year above written caused its corporate name to be hereunto subscribed and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed by its president and secretary thereunto authorized by a resolution of its board of directors. For Rent Furnished front room for rent, inquire at this office. JACKETS AND WRAPS. Great Variety In Outside Garments-Materials and Trimmings. Velvet is to be much employed for outer garments this winter, being used for capes, jackets and long mantles. Heavy broche silks, matelasse and striped silks will also serve the same purpose. Fur is considered an appropriate trimming for velvet and silk, as well as embroidery, galloon and chenille. The latter is used as embroidery or it forms a net or web over light silk. Capes are noticeably longer than they were last year, and are very much trimmed. Union Water Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Anaheim, California; and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Riverside, California, hereinafter referred to as the second party; The Mercantile Trust Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at San Francisco, California, hereinafter referred to as the third party, and the Southern California Savings Bank, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at Los Angeles, California, hereinafter referred to as the fourth party. Witnesseth: That, whereas, the first parties are irrigation companies, organized for and engaged in the business of diverting the waters of the Santa Ana river from the channel thereof in the canyon of said river where it flows out of the county of Riverside and into the county of Orange, for the irrigation of land in said county of Orange; and whereas, the second party is organized for, and engaged in maintaining and operating a power pumping plant for diverting the waters of said Santa Ana river at the "narrows," near the city of Riverside, and conducting the same through a cement canal to a point about six miles and a half below said "narrows," where the fall of said waters is utilized for the development of power, and where the same are returned into the channel of said Santa Ana river; and, whereas, the third party is organized for the purpose of acting as trustee for bondholders and is the trustee for the fourth party, which is the holder and owner of one hundred and fifty-six thousand dollars worth of bonds of the second party, secured by a deed of trust, of all its property made by it to the said third party; and, whereas, for the more perfect, successful and economical operation of said power plant, it is desirable that the second party shall build a reservoir selected by H. Clay Kellogg, engineer, and surveyed by E. Valjean in January, 1904, covering an area of not to exceed ten acres, and located immediately southeast of the power house hill and south of said power canal and use the same, to accumulate during each day, the two feet below the casing, when the sides of the pit collapsed, burying him under ten feet of sand. The screams of his mother attracted the neighbors, and soon a crowd of a dozen gathered, all eagerly anxious to rescue the unfortunate young man. It was nearly 6 o'clock before the body was recovered. Work was delayed by a second cave-in, while three men were at the bottom engaged in rescue work. They had narrow escapes from being themselves burled. When the body was recovered life had been extinct for some hours. Physicians who were called were of the opinion that death, while possibly not instantaneous, followed by suffocation immediately thereafter. Coroner Smith was called from Santa Ana and held an inquest. The jury rendered a verdict of death by accidental causes. The body was interred at Santa Ana. The accident took place on the ranch formerly owned by J. Hart, on which the shooting between Hart and Pallas took place some months ago. National Game. The Olinda ball team defeated the crack Pomona team at Pomona on Sunday, June 19th, to the tune of 14 to 2. Our own Big Rube was there with his pleasant smile and struck out 15 of the Pomonales. His battling was a feature of the game. Perris caught an elegant game and Isbell and Burnett were there with the goods. The Pomona boys took their walloping good naturedly, and felt grateful for the two runs they received, as they were gifts and not earned runs. The Old Miners play the Rivera's at Los Nietos next Sunday. No Quorum. There was no quorum at the meeting on Monday evening at Central school, called to further discuss the proposed issue of bonds for the erection of a primary school building. A half dozen citizens assembled, and when at half past 8 there was no evidence of further attendance the meeting adjourned without action. JACKET WRAP. med, at least those made of velvet or silk Cloth capes are not so heavily ornamented. As an intermediate wrap between the cape and the close jacket many half-long garments are seen this winter of velvet or silk. They are loose in part, but fitted to the figure at the back, and have large sleeves in the pelletine style. These mantles descend half way down the skirt, and are lavishly trimmed with ostrich feathers, fur, ribbon and embroidery. Some are gathered into an embroidered yoke. Others have a simulated bolero. A certain number of velvet jackets are soon, but in the majority of cases cloth enjoys the preference. These cloth jackets are often made very rich and elegant with embroidery, fine braiding and similar trimmings. Russian and oriental embroideries in lively colors are largely employed on cloth, serving for revers, collars, pocket flaps, boleros and belts for blouses. Little blouse jackets having a belt and a round or slashed basque are a feature of the season, and are trimmed with embroidery, passementerie, fur and galloon. They have a valois collar or are cut in tabs, the lining being of light or bright silk or satin. A picture is given which shows a jacket grasp of black velvet. It is straight in front, but close fitting at the back. It is lavishly embroidered with jet and has jet embroidered opaquelets, bordered with gray astrakhan. The collar is also edged with astrakhan. The capelike sleeves are large, and are lined, as is the entire garment, with old gold satin. The hat is of Russian green velvet trimmed with black ostrich plumes. Many Creditors Sheriff Lacy Gives Tide-Land People Until Monday to Move Off. Sheriff Lacy, County Surveyor Finley and Capt. Haley of Long Beach went to Anaheim Landing on Monday for the purpose of locating the line separating tide lands claimed by local residents and property belonging to H. W. Hellman. Some weeks ago Hellman secured a writ from the Superior Court quieting title to the lands claimed by him. The settlers made no defense, and the writ was obtained by default. When Lacy went to order off the settlers they objected to moving, saying it was Hellman's duty under the writ to establish the lines between them by government survey. Lacy refused to dispossess them until the lines were accurately drawn. Tuesday's gathering at the beach was the result of the sheriff's action. As a result of a survey run by Capt. Haley, Sheriff Lacy ordered the settlers to move their houses ten feet westerly. This is where the line of the mean tide was marked off in the sands by the sheriff. L. Bolz, one of the tide-landers, was ordered by the sheriff to move by Monday. Other occupants of the strip were also similarly ordered to move. Bolz declares he will not move until surveyor's stakes are driven. He claims no such stakes were set. He has occupied the strip for 25 years and refuses to conform to the sheriff's orders. Monday is moving day, and there may be a picnic at the Landing. Disturbed the Peace. Francisco Ruiz was find $10 by Justice Howard on Monday on a charge of disturbing the peace preferred by Carlos Corona. Ruiz had been charged by Corona with the crime of indecent exposure. It being alleged that while Corona was temporarily absent from his home Ruiz proceeded thither and in the presence of Mrs. Corona and her daughter demeaned himself in the manner complained of. This charge was subsequently dismissed, and a charge of disturbing the peace substituted. Ruiz at first demanded a jury trial but subsequently pleaded guilty. PERSONAL MENTION Dr. W. I.
