YORBA RESERVOIR GOES; SO SAYS WATER BOARD Engineer Kellogg’s Plans Approved, and He is Instructed to Proceed with work The water board at its meeting on Saturday finally approved Engineer Kellogg’s plans and specifications for the Yorba reservoir, by a vote of 5 to 2, and thereupon instructed him to begin forthwith its construction. This step the company has had under consideration for fifteen years. It has been an issue at annual elections, and while it has had strong supporters, its insidious enemies have conspired to defer its construction until the vast body of irrigators on the south side of the district rose up and demanded that it be constructed. From Secretary Krick's minutes of the meeting we quote as follows: Engineer Kellogg presented plans and specifications for the Yorba reservoir showing a total cost of $27,548.95 for the dam. Moved by Director Gunderson seconded by Director McLauchlin that the plans and specifications of the Yorba reservoir as presented by Engineer Kellogg be and they are hereby accepted and that we immediately proceed to execute the same. A call of the roll resulted as follows: Directors Crowther, Bradford, Gunderson, McLauchlin and Kraemer voted in the affirmative, and Directors Hale and Sherwood voted in the negative. Director Hale requested the secretary to and the committee to report meeting. Carried. The president appointed Gunderson, Sherwood and Secrétaire Krick. P. H.

The secretary reported that he had been asked to investigate whether the payment for the condemned rights of way had ever been paid to Porfiro Yorba and F. Vejar. He reported that the required sum of $1497.37 with which to pay not only those parties but all others interested had been paid into the court in Los Angeles immediately upon the issue of the decree, and that if said parties had not received their shares it must have been waiting for them and in the hands of the court for the past twenty years. The secretary was instructed to write to the said Yorba and Vejar and explain the situation to them. Wm. Loftus appeared before the board and presented a proposal for the La Habra reservoir site for a term of fifty years for oil purposes.

"Yes, I certainly do; but I think the president will at the proper time take steps to forestall any such action." "Can he forestall a stampede, in your opinion?" "I think that when the people learn that the president is actuated by nothing but the sincerest motives in announcing his declination to be a candidate, they will have sufficient respect for his position to restrain their enthusiasm."

"I think that when the people learn that the president is actuated by nothing but the sincerest motives in announcing his declination to be a candidate, they will have sufficient respect for his position to restrain their enthusiasm." "In that event who do you consider the most available candidate?" "Oh, it's too early yet to say. Taft, Root, Fairbanks, Cannon are all good men. Fairbanks is a mighty fine fellow. The country believes him to be cold and reserved in his demeanor, whereas he is just the reverse. Coming from Indiana, I imagine he ought to be a particularly strong candidate. Hughes is spoken of, although I hardly think a New Yorker will be selected to head the ticket." "How do you like Speaker Cannon?" "Uncle Joe? A fine old man, I can tell you, and he would rather have a scrap than anything else on earth. When Gompers began his attack upon Littlefield in Maine Uncle Joe packed his grip and started for Littlefield's district in a hurry. He didn't do a thing to Mr. Gompers, either." "What do you think of Cuba—do we want to annex the island?" "Certainly not." At this point so many friends and former acquaintances pressed about the congressman to shake his hand that the reporter had to take his augur out. Support the National Guard General John A. Koster appeals for more cordial support and recognition for the National Guard, and he refers to the patient and timely service given by men and officers in the six weeks following the fire in this city. He admits that some of the men were guilty of "indiscreations" during that period and he fears that prejudice has grown up in the public mind in consequence thereof. General Koster and the officers of the guard take a just pride in their work, but some of them have with difficulty been dissuaded from resigning their commissions.

General Koster and the officers of the guard take a just pride in their work, but some of them have with difficulty been dissuaded from resigning their commissions. They believe that the militia has come to be regarded with public disfavor owing to the aforesaid "indiscreations" and they have therefore concluded that this state of mind must make their work additionally arduous and difficult, because if the service is unpopular the recruiting of desirable men will be greatly hindered. A right performance of National Guard duty calls for intelligence and training and this implies high character as a necessary requirement of the personnel. To quote General Koster: "The personnel of a National Guard organization, in order to acquire this knowledge in a comparatively limited time, must of necessity be composed of a class of men of a higher intelligence than in similar organizations of the regular army. To induce these to enter the state's military service it is primarily necessary that it be made as attractive as possible. The respectable citizens, not only of the city of San Francisco but of the state, could by a greater display of interest in the organization render most valuable assistance." We are convinced that those officers...
