A LOVEFEAST UNDER ARMS New Water Board Chosen by Acclamation, while Rumors of a Big Fight Fill the Air The annual election of directors for the Anaheim Union Water company on Saturday was arranged under a flag of truce, as it were, while both factions held more proxies than were probably ever present at a meeting of the stockholders. The majority held 4700 shares, while the minority showed up with 3300. The former was insufficient to re-elect their five members who have hitherto held office, and Mr. Gunderson retired. Messrs. McLauchlin and Gunderson, the two Southside candidates, came to the meeting with 2200 shares of stock, sufficient to elect them handily, but the latter threw his stock to Placentia members whose older membership upon the board and whose stand upon the reservoir was such as to entitle them to first consideration. Messrs. Crowther, Bradford and Kraemer held 2500 shares, while Sherwood, Hale, Drake and Dunham pulled up with 3000. Sherwood held 600 shares of non-resident stock, among them the Carpenter, Wilshire, Thum and other large non-residents owning into the meeting room. The stockholder in the company and supporter of the majority, he said to roll call, with 287 shares, and quorum was secured. The town represented was given out by retary to be 4205 shares. Minutes of the three last meetings, at the last two of quorums were present, were approved. President Crowther delivered address outlining the work board during the past year and cast of work for the future. Work was in satisfactory progress the reservoir, which he was would prove of great value to pany. There had been some of the work, and many unfounded mors had been spread broadcasting it. The company's were never in better condition the purpose of the board, he refund the entire company in less at a lower rate of interest company now pays 6 per cent, thought securities could be floated. The report of the board of read. The same will be found in another column. A proxy committee consisting mer Ross, C. C. Chapman and Benchley was appointed to and report upon a voluminous proxies on file in the office in voting at the impending el handily, but the latter threw his stock to Placentia members whose older membership upon the board and whose stand upon the reservoir was such as to entitle them to first consideration. Messrs. Crowther, Bradford and Kraemer held 2500 shares, while Sherwood, Hale, Drake and Dunham pulled up with 3000. Sherwood held 600 shares of non-resident stock, among them the Carpenter, Wilshire, Thum and other large non-residents owning Fullerton property who have always supported him, and the Brookshurst stock, now held by New York parties. Sherwood had been engaged in a hunt for proxies for several months and exerted every endeavor to secure sufficient stock to elect four directors, and thus give him control of the board. A count of noses the day before the election showed his pool to contain enough to make certain the election of only three men, and while Dunham was placed in nomination, it had been agreed to throw 1000 votes each for Sherwood, Hale and Drake, and thus insure their election. On the other hand, the majority had votes sufficient to insure the election of four men, still a majority of the board. As Clerk Krick called the roll after the meeting had been called to order at 10 o'clock, it could be seen that many proxies were not being answered to, this being chargeable, so it was reported, to both sides. It was a tactical play on the checker-board of water politics before real hostilities began. The call of the roll revealed 3918 shares represented in person and by proxy, some eighty votes short of a quorum. C. C.

J. A. Vall nominated Mr. Dunham. E. F. Kellogg nominated H. H. Gunderson. Mr. Chapman renewed his plea for an election of seven men by acclama-tion. Mr. Sherwood said he had no objec-tions so long as those declining did so to the assembled meeting. Mr. Dunham announced he would withdraw from the race. Mr. Gunderson said he would also retire. The secretary thereupon cast the ballot for the seven remaining directors. Engineer Kellogg made two interesting addresses, one relating to progress of work upon the reservoir, the other dealing with the water problem up the river. Speaking of the reservoir he said he would have it completed in May, but if necessary could finish it an earlier date. He reported satisfactory progress, and said it cost will come within his original estimates. He did not undertake the work with a view to making profit out of it, but merely in order to carry out a task which he had long cherished.

He did not undertake the work with a view to making profit out of it, but merely in order to carry out a task which he had long cherished. If successful in the enterprise—and he had no doubt of that—he could build several other reservoirs in Southern California on the reputation gained by constructing this one. His profits in building the reservoir in the Hawaiian islands were greater by far than in the present case. In fact, he said he could make more money for himself, and had done so, in thirty days in the islands than by working for the local irrigators a year. He was warmly commended at conclusion of his address, and was loudly applauded. His address upon water diversion will be found elsewhere in this issue. Former Ball Manager Wants Information Thomas Young, former manager of the Olinda ball club, writes from Rhyolite, Nev., asking that he be forwarded a copy of this paper containing an account of the "fifteen inning game" played between his old club and the Morans. His letter follows: RHYOLITE, Nev., Jan. 22, '07. Editor Gazette—Will you kindly forward me a paper containing account of the ball game played last Sunday, in which the boys won in 15 innings and earn my undying gratitude. Yours sincerely, THOMAS YOUNG. Mr. Young read in a Los Angeles paper which published the day following the game an account of a fifteen-inning contest here. This account was in error. The game was of nine innings' duration, and the boys took into camp the Morans by a score of 3 to 2. A copy of our last week's issue was forwarded by return mail. J. F. Ahlborn was a business visitor in Los Angeles the fore part of the week.

Ahlborn was a business visitor in Los Angeles the fore part of the week. He had a brief conference with Chief Engineer Pillsbury of the electric railway regarding the building of the trolly line hitherward. Mr. Pillsbury replied there was nothing definite regarding Orange county lines with the exception of the La Habra line, which is now building. He said he had been recently through Anaheim and had noted many improvements. It is the general impression here that when Huntington constructs his line up River Canyon he will build a crossroad through this city to the ocean. The Home telephone company began service this week, having installed upward of 100 new phones in this city and surrounding country. Miss Maud Mickel and Miss Becker are the hello girls, and a night operator will be employed this week. The service is excellent, the new phones giving the best of satisfaction.

No Specifications There was no meeting of trustees on Tuesday evening, owing to uncompleted specifications for the new powerhouse. At the regular meeting held on Thursday evening the board adjourned to Tuesday evening to take up the matter of calling for bids for constructing the new powerhouse. Mr. Schenck was present from Los Angeles and stated early in the evening that the specifications would require several days yet to complete. The meeting was thereupon called off. As rain was descending in smart showers, none of the city fathers appeared at the hall. They had been notified by telephone by Clerk Merritt of the changed program and did not venture out. Bids for constructing the new powerhouse will be called for at a later meeting. A special meeting will be held next week, probably on Monday evening, when bids for constructing the powerhouse and for installing new arc lamps and laying water pipes will be called for. Wm. J. Hill had to discontinue plowing operations at La Habra on account of the rain. He welcomes the downpour, and says the ground is getting a much-needed wetting.
