Every irrigator in the Anaheim Union Water company knows that this gentleman was once an enthusiastic supporter of the Yorba reservoir. Of that there need be no particle of doubt at this late day. Everybody knows it. Mr. Sherwood admits as much. He himself has said it. This admission was made in a written report to the directors of the water company while he was acting as engineer of the company and in position to know what he was talking about. His report was not filed so long ago but that everybody remembers it. At the time of making it Mr. Sherwood expected to begin operations upon construction of the reservoir forthwith. The reservoir site had been inspected and approved by three engineers before him: J. D. Schuyler, probably the most conspicuous hydraulic engineer in the southwest; by H. C. Kellogg, who is now engaged in the work of its construction, and by D. J. Sorenson, a man of local note, who made the initial borings in the site. Sherwood's endorsement of the project made the fourth to pass favorably upon the site. But since then a change has come over the spirit of his dream: And now he is off the reservation again. For faulty engineering work in the water tunnels up the river, through which incompetency the company was brought to the verge of a big lawsuit in settling with the contractor, and for making erroneous surveys for a cement ditch, thereby placing it upon another man's land, this gentleman was relieved of his office as engineer. Presto! He flopped on the reservoir. Keg and to all ING CO.

For faulty engineering work in the water tunnels up the river, through which incompetency the company was brought to the verge of a big lawsuit in settling with the contractor, and for making erroneous surveys for a cement ditch, thereby placing it upon another man's land, this gentleman was relieved of his office as engineer. Presto! He flopped on the reservoir. From being one of its most active proponents, he proceeded to buck the project in season and out. He referred to it as "an odious proposition," and condemned it. He journeyed to the site intent on finding it a sieve-like gravel pit. Along with his side partner, Mr. Hale, he bulldozed the water board into employing Fred Eaton, a Los Angeles politician and alleged hydraulic engineer, to visit the reservoir site for the purpose of condemning it. Eaton went to the site, remained less than an hour, viewing the landscape o'er, and he deal was done. He reported to the board, holding it was too expensive an undertaking and finding other fault with it. For this less than one day's service Eaton held up the water company for $1500. So much for Eaton. Now the reservoir is being constructed. It is well begun, but will require several months yet for completion. Eaton's report and Sherwood's ghost-dancing have been ignored. Mr. Sherwood has been lately shouting himself blue in the face concerning it. He used to chirp a different song. When about to begin work upon it, four years ago, he considered it the finest thing he ever saw. He was sent as an expert to further examine the bed of the proposed reservoir. His report is now on file at the water office. He advises stockholders to go to the reservoir and see for themselves how wasteful a project it is. We advise them to go to the water office and call for his report upon the reservoir. That report makes Sherwood's hair curl every time he thinks of it. From his report we quote as follows: "In general, we find that at an average depth of twenty-five feet below the surface, on the proposed dam line, there is a stratum of tough bluish yellow." Permanent General Broadway, opposite the Mansion No. 1, 200 Sanitarium No. 2 (ex-Madre Foothills. Sanitarium No. 3, 133 Sanitarium No. 4, (ex-eases) 928 American Avenue. Sanitarium No. 5, (f Long Beach, Cal. C. E. BERRY, Advantage at the dam line and on any are sufficient." Next he expatiates upon capacity, and paints a picture of how much water is in the valley's fields for "Taking the average foot level at 55 acres the feet would hold 550 acre equivalent, approximately ers' inches, 12 hours a day or about one-half the capacity as planned." As work upon the reservoir the very point of beginning company was brought to the lawsuit by faulty work cement water tunnels in Mr. Sherwood had been the work. His associate denounced the faulty work measured terms. In a fe ment ditch on the Miles town was improperly located gentleman, and Miles tha company with a suit for da it removed it. Under these conditions refused to continue Mr. the head of the reservoir dismissed him. When Kellogg was insti neer in charge of the wo He advises stockholders to go to the reservoir and see for themselves how wasteful a project it is. We advise them to go to the water office and call for his report upon the reservoir. That report makes Sherwood's hair curl every time he thinks of it. From his report we quote as follows: "In general, we find that at an average depth of twenty-five feet below the surface, on the proposed dam line, there is a stratum of tough bluish yellow clay, about fourteen feet in thickness, underlaid with fine sand, which we did not penetrate more than two feet." That was pretty good for a starter, even if Mr. Sherwood has since insisted his report meant nothing. Further along in his report he says: "Borings made in the bottom of the reservoir 400 and 800 feet north of the dam line, and at other places, would indicate that this stratum of clay is continuous and unbroken in this part of the reservoir site." That site looked good to Georgie in 1902, when he was about to add to his technical reputation by being in charge of its construction, not to speak of the profits accruing from the task, and to which under the circumstances he was reasonably entitled. Carrying on his investigation further, he continues: "Your committee sees no reason why a safe dam cannot be constructed at this place, if a proper foundation can be made in the above mentioned stratum of bluish clay." In his next paragraph he actually recommends raising the height of the dam as mapped out by Schuyler and Kellogg: "There appears to be no reason why the high should not be increased from five to ten feet. The elevation for a short distance on the west side is a little low; but the elevation of the hills Reunion of the Clay Friday evening, Dec. 28 '05, A. H.

He expatiates upon its storage capacity, and paints a realistic picture of how much water it would furnish valley's fields for irrigation: Making the average area at the 40-level at 55 acres the additional ten would hold 550 acre feet, which is evident, approximately, to 300 minches, 12 hours a day for 90 days; but one-half the capacity of the moor as planned." Work upon the reservoir was upon every point of beginning, the com- was brought to the verge of a bad spot by faulty work in a series of hot water tunnels in River canyon. Overwood had been in charge of work. His associate, Mr. Hale, faced the faulty work in no un-ried terms. In a few days a ceil-itch on the Miles tract north of was improperly located by this man, and Miles threatened the city with a suit for damages unless moved it. After these conditions, the board will continue Mr. Sherwood at head of the reservoir work, and send him. Kellogg was installed as engi-charge of the work, Sherwood COUNTY BREVITIES Work has begun on the Huntington trolley line from Los Nietos through La Habra to Randolph. E. L. Venoe, assistant engineer of the Pacific electric railway company, has a force of men on hand at Los Nietos, where the work of fencing and clearing the right of way began some days ago. This strip, one hundred feet wide, goes through the heart of the walnut country, making the work of clearing the right of way a much greater undertaking than it would otherwise be. The route of the new line, which will be known as the La Habra line, branches from the Whittier line at Los Nietos, crosses the Southern Pacific tracks 2000 feet north of Santa Fe Springs, then goes through the Woodward ranch and cuts through the lower part of the big Lefflingwell ranch. From this point the road will be practically a straight one to the townsite of Randolph. About one hundred men and from one hundred and fifty to two hundred head of stock will comprise the working force. J. Kujawsky of Los Angeles has closed his third deal for valuable land in the swamp country of Orange county. In a few days a ceilingswitch on the Miles tract north of was improperly located by this man, and Miles threatened the boy with a suit for damages unless moved it. After these conditions, the board will continue Mr. Sherwood at head of the reservoir work, and move him. Kellogg was installed as engineer of the work, Sherwood used his brilliant leap for life on long trapeze. The reservoir used good to him. Now he had a fit time he heard of it. Much as Mr. Sherwood may in against the reservoir, the gory of his former self stands out him. Pointing its bony finger ugly at him, it asks, with solemnity: Are you lying then, Mr. Sherwood are you lying now?" Union of the Class '05 Day evening, Dec. 28, the class of H.

Kujawsky of Los Angeles has closed his third deal for valuable land in the swamp country of Orange county. Less than two weeks ago Kujawsky bought the Borchard ranch, and previous to that time he had come into possession of the J. Edmund Snow ranch adjoining. Friday morning a deed was filed transferring 178 acres in Rancho Los Bolsas to Kujawsky, the deed being signed by James A. Day of Orange. A mortgage on the property to Day covers a $12,000 note given in connection with the deal.
