GUARDSMEN PREPARING FOR STATE ENCAMPMENT Col. Finley and Regimental Staff Go with Company E—Depart Friday Evening. Anaheim will be the only Orange county town having a company of national guardsmen at the state encampment this year. The company at Santa Ana was some weeks ago mustered out of service for insubordination, and this week news comes that the Talbert company has been ordered mustered out on account of non-attendance at drills and for other causes. On the other hand Company E of this city was never so strong, having a full complement of sixty men. The company was never so ably officered, and is regarded at headquarters as one of the crack companies of the regiment. At the recent regimental drill at Riverside the boys compared with the best companies there present, and were recipients of high praise from the regimental officers. Tomorrow afternoon at 5:20 Company E leaves for the state encampment at San Luis Obispo. There will be a full turnout. The company will be commanded by Capt. H. Stern. Lieuts. Zeus and Kroeger will be with the company. Col. Finley and regimental staff will accompany E, this being the nearest company to that officer. The boys will take this as a high honor, and will be on their mettle during the encampment. The encampment will be under command of Maj. Gen. Arthur McArthur, U.S.A. There will be 4500 soldiers in attendance, and the encampment will mark the first meeting of national guardmen and regulars. The en CHARLEY ROGERS DROWNED IN BALD ROCK CANYON Loses Life While Engaged in Making Railroad Survey in Sierras. Near Orville. Word reached here from San Francisco on Saturday that Charles S. Rogers, formerly of this city, had lost his life near Orville, the preceding day, while engaged with a party of railroad surveyors in locating a new route for the Western Pacific railway company. Rogers met death by drowning in Bald Rock Canyon, and his body was not recovered until the following day. This canyon is about two miles long and the cliffs rise from 1000 to 2000 feet on each side. Rogers was being lowered down near the water, when he slipped on a rock and went into the stream. He had on a life preserver and was secured with a strong rope, but the current was very strong where he fell into the river, and he was sucked under a projecting ledge, and the men above were not able to help him any or to recover his body. Assistance was secured at Orville and a party at once proceeded to recover the body, which was extricated from its position and sent to San Francisco for burial. Rogers was well known here, having resided here a number of years. Recently his family moved to San Francisco. Charles S. Rogers earned an enviable reputation as an engineer. He was born in Iowa forty-five years ago and received his technical education at the State University of Iowa. In 1882 he entered the railway service, occupying subordinate positions on surveys for the Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska railway, now the Chicago Great West. MARTHA COOPER WEDS BANDIT'S NEPHEW Widow of Millionaire Well Known Here Contracts Messalliance at Salinas. Mrs. Martha Cooper of Salinas, who is well known here as the sister of Mrs. P.H. Look, formerly for a number of years a resident of this city, has caused a sensation by becoming the wife of her ranch foreman, Pete Vasquez, a nephew of the bandit, Tiburolo Vasquez. Advices from Salinas are to the effect that when the late ex-supervisor of Monterey county, J.B.Cooper, died, some four year's ago, leaving a widow and four grown children, he little thought that the vast estate left to his widow, Martha M.Cooper, would ever pass to another by her remarriage, but when it became known that Mrs. Cooper, who is reported to be 57 years old, was married to her ranch foreman, Peter Vasquez, aged 23, great surprise was expressed. Mrs. Cooper spent most of her time on her ranch on the Sur river, in Monterey county, and some three years ago employed Peter Vasquez, the son of a Carmel vaquero, to work for her. He was a comely youth, good looking and fairly well educated. He found favor in Mrs. Cooper's eyes and advanced until he became major domo, or steward of the ranch. He attended strictly to his duties, and as Mrs. Cooper, who it is said, is worth a million dollars, had the Bolso Nueve Del Potrero, the Morocojo and other ranches in Monterey county, vast interests in other counties and property in San Francisco to look out for; he thus found greater favor with her. Some fifteen months ago, it is alleged, so pronounced were her feelings to Section of the Hermania in merchandise the winners contest for boys. big race for ladiesancing in incidents and Grounds.

Irrigation Act Invalid An important decision touching the rights of boards of directors of irrigation districts to borrow money for improvements, has been handed down by the supreme court. Section 17 of what is known as the Wright law, which provides that a majority of the voters in a district may place a lien on the property of every citizen in the jurisdiction of the board of directors as security for the money borrowed, is held to be invalid, for the reason that it is in violation of the Federal statute granting that "no person shall be deprived of property without due process of law" and directing that no state shall enact a "law impairing the obligation of contracts." The decision is result of a suit brought to quiet title to property seized in default of payment of interest on a loan made the Esccondido district by the Merchants' Bank of San Diego.

There will be drilling in extended order, advance and rear guard, guard mounting and outpost duty. There will be no advance detail, but the companies will pitch tents on arrival. Orders have been issued for each man to carry a shelter tent. Company officers will carry the heavy army sabre, instead of the usual sword, and 38 caliber Colt's revolvers have been issued them. The government furnishes uniforms, shoes and accountments to national guardsmen, and while absent each member of the company will draw pay as regular soldiers.

El Camino Real SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4.—San Diego county is to have the honor of making the first section of El Camino Real, the highway that is to traverse the state for hundreds of miles. The board of supervisors has entered into a contract with a San Francisco firm to purchase an immense rock crusher, roller and spreader wagons, and as soon as the machinery arrives construction will begin on a strip of the roadway from Oceanside to this city. Efforts will be made to have this end of the line a model of macadamized roadway. River power project and being retained as consulting engineer on several other projects for the development of hydraulic power in California and Oregon. After going to San Francisco Mr. Rogers made a thorough study of hydro-electric power and long-distance transmission and was considered an authority on the subject. During the last season, as resident engineer of the Western Pacific railroad, he had charge of 300 miles of the field surveys of that company, including investigations of the various proposed routes for the crossing of the Sierra Nevada. He was mentioned to succeed C. E. Grunsky as city engineer of San Francisco. Good-Sized Legacy Jos. and E. P. Dismukes of Downey are heirs to the sum of $200,000 each, through the will of an uncle, E. P. Dismukes, who died at Baltimore recently. The Downey relatives never heard of the existence of the Baltimore member of the family and the legacy comes as a great surprise. The estate is valued at $8,000,000. One-fourth of the amount was willed to a Dismukes of Tennessee who has been dead thirty years. Through this branch of the family the brothers at Downey received their money. They will journey to Baltimore to participate in the distribution of the estate. Heirs mentioned in the will are as follows: Daniel Dismukes, deputy tax collector of Fresno; E. P. and Joseph Dismukes of Downey; Z. T. and George Dismukes of Tennessee; John Dismukes of Texas, and Mrs. Lucy Elliott of Garden Grove, Orange county.

Water Receding Norman Long while in town this week stated that water strata about Smeltzer were lowering preceptibly, and where formerly artesian flows were secured at 100 feet in depth, now it is necessary to go several times that depth to get a good flowing well. Indeed, at times it is impossible to secure artesian water at all, as in the case of a well bored by him last week, which at 450 feet gave no indication of flowing. Many of the more shallow artesian wells have ceased flowing and those of greater depth give diminished flow. Where drainage ditches formerly ran bank full of water, now they are in many places dry. Farmers are pumping water to irrigate their celery beds. However it is thought that with a recurrence of wet winters wells will again flow. That is the view generally accepted by those owning wells which have ceased flowing, although the recession of water strata have given rise to serious conditions at Smeltzer as well as other sections of Southern California. ONE ON TEDDY It has been reported of President Roosevelt that only once has he found himself at a loss for words to clearly and forcibly express himself. That time was when the presidential party visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona last summer.

On SUNDAY CLOSING OF SALOONS AND WINERIES. Alex Henry Dispenses Some TobascoSauce Comments Upon the Subject EDITOR GAZETTE—I read in your valuable paper of last week that a meeting was held in Anaheim, com­posed of good and law-abiding citizens, for the purpose of obeying the law in regard to closing the saloons on Sundays, and to put a stop to the rehearsal of that high low dive and the windy gas ascension. I have been asked to give my opinion on the question, and I will, freely and fearlessly. I have no strings fast on me. I am glad that I live in a free country where I can give an opinion. If I lived in darkest Russia I would be tried for my life. Now, I will state, to commence with, that the business men in Anaheim made the darkest mistake in their lives to allow that low dive windy baloon humbug to enter Anaheim. You all knew very well that Sunday was going to be one of their days. I ask who profited by it? None but the sellers of whisky and beer. I call such actions a disgrace to the town of Anaheim and an open insult to the respectable and law-abiding citizens. Now, about the saloon and bowling-alleys running all day on Sundays, it is wrong and a disgrace. All towns and large cities through California have respect for the seventh day of the week as a day of rest, and I ask why should Anaheim be an exception to the rule? I want it to be understood that I am no seetarian, but I am a firm believer in the law of the land I live in. I believe that directs us one and all to observe the seventh G. A. HUNTER'S ORCHARD SELLS FOR $15,000 Thirty-Five Acres of Orange and Walnut Trees Fourteen Years Old-- $2,000 Nut Crop. Geo. A. Hunter this week sold his 35-acre ranch, in the southeast portion of town, to Mrs. M. A. Pearson and her son, Atley Pearson, of Los Angeles, the purchase price being $15,000. The purchasers are moving into the Hunter residence and have taken personal possession of the place. Mr. Hunter goes to Los Angeles to reside with his daughter. The tract consists of 26 acres of walnuts and 8 acres of oranges. The trees are fourteen years old and are second to none in the valley. The walnut trees have upon them a maturing crop of nuts, valued at $2,000. The place is within the water district, and has besides a fine pumping plant upon it, the well being some 300 feet in depth. The well is near the deepest in the valley. When Mr. Hunter settled upon the place, fourteen years ago, there was little in sight to tempt the settler, but before people in town knew of it he had growing near the first young orchard in the county. Word was passed about that a fine orchard tract was coming into bearing where a few years before the soil had remained untouched in all its virgin richness. When townspeople went out to witness this transformation scene this energetic revolutionist was enacting they were astonished to note the progress the trees were making. The country for miles around has been and is being brought under culti­vation. Pumping plants are being established and berry growing followed extensively. The country for miles around has been and is being brought under cultivation. Pumping plants are being established and berry growing followed extensively. The sale of the Hunter tract, following closely up the sale of the Rea sale of eighty acres last week for $40,000, emphasizes the fact that orchard property with water belt areas are in demand. A tide of easteners has been coming into Southern California looking for investments, and orchards about Anaheim are considered the cream of the lot offered throughout Southern California. Many newcomers have been seen upon our streets and reports are current that other large transfers of realty may be looked for.

Talbert Lawsuit Judge West this week decided the case of Neel vs. Borchard, a Talbert drainage district lawsuit which has attracted some attention, in favor of defendant. Suit was filed last winter by W. T. Neel of Talbert, who wanted to collect from his neighbor, Caspar Borchard, $2100 alleged to be due him because he claimed his crops were damaged by a drainage canal maintained by Borchard. He also prayed for a permanent injunction restraining Borchard and others from continuing to maintain the ditch, which was forty feet wide and over two and a half miles long, one of the most important canals of the entire district which has since been in Water Receding Long while in town this day that water strata about here lowering preceptibly, formerly artesian flows were 100 feet in depth, now it is also go several times that at a good flowing well.
