WOULD STOP RESERVOIR Hale and Sherwood of Water Board Attack Progress of Work—Director Drake Says Push It to Completion The board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company gathered at Yorba reservoir a few days ago, as a result of an effort made by Directors Hale and Sherwood to cease work upon that structure. The cost of the reservoir has exceeded estimates of Engineer Kellogg by something more than $20,000 and it will yet require the expenditure of $5000 before completion. Kellogg states he will probably complete the structure in six weeks. The reservoir has cost to date $48,000, while original estimates made the cost $27,500. But everything is higher now than then. Labor is now $2 and $2.25 per day and teams $4.50. Formerly labor could be had at $1.50 and teams at $3. Then they worked ten hours per day, now they work nine. At a meeting of the board at which the effort was made to stop work upon it, Hale is quoted as saying that it would require $15,000 to complete it, and that it would not be finished before April of next year. He urged that work be suspended, pending the financial flurry, and made severe criticism of the estimate of its cost by Kellogg. Hale found a ready second in the heart and purse of California people. They will deny it not is reasonable and promote greatness and leadership. Third. No state or county prior to California in natural to greatness in agricultural because no state presents in so many phases. Fourth. There is no state try with a population which wide demonstration of agriculture and such varied in agricultural practice. Fifth. Our duty is thus our opportunity. It is to do better work; to push equipment and materials until every interest of California is served, both in the ascertain new truth for the leaders and onstation of plain practitioners, both old and young; only be done by the exaltation culture as a technical science university; by the development special schools of secondary fast as can be wisely done at current demand for them; byparation of teachers to carry science and agriculture into mon schools; by the free public helps to farmers and to farming, until our system shall just what every one needs work intelligently and sane. When this shall be done to the California and to the California people, distinctive will have been attained and be drawn across the world by Sixth. Three things are to realize the popular will: gard: Men, money, and time to work together for result the undertaking of which at the beginning, confident, expectant." which the effort was made to stop work upon it, Hale is quoted as saying that it would require $15,000 to complete it, and that it would not be finished before April of next year. He urged that work be suspended, pending the financial flurry, and made severe criticism of the estimate of its cost by Kellogg. Hale found a ready second in Sherwood, who has been "agin" the reservoir from the start. As is well known, Sherwood has bucked the reservoir from the time he was displaced as engineer of the company several years ago. McLauchlin offered strong objection to ceasing operations, saying that while the reservoir had cost more than originally anticipated, it was nearly completed now, and was worth every cent it cost. He submitted figures showing the quantity of earth yet to be moved in order to complete it, and showed its additional cost would not exceed $5000. Directors Crowther, Bradford, Kraemer and Drake desired the work to proceed to completion. Drake said he wanted to see the work pushed. The board agreed to proceed to the site of the reservoir, and a day or two after the meeting repaired thither. Kellogg was there, and in response to questions by Hale and Sherwood said he would have the reservoir completed by the first of the year, certainly not later than January 15, if he could have water for sluicing operations every day. He offered to enter into contract to complete it at a cost of $5000, if the company would allow him $15 for his expenses each day water was cut out from sluicing. Hale demurred, saying irrigators might need the water. Crowther urged Hale to take up Kellogg's offer. The board decided to continue the work. Indeed, there was never any probability of operations ceasing. would allow him $15 for his expenses each day water was cut out from sluicing. Hale demurred, saying irrigators might need the water. Crowther urged Hale to take up Kellogg's offer. The board decided to continue the work. Indeed, there was never any probability of operations ceasing. Mrs. Sherwood accompanied the party, and was an interested onlooker upon the progress of work on the reservoir. Immense Future For Agriculture Speaking of the future of agricultural interests in this state, Professor E. J. Wickson, dean and director of the agricultural college and experiment station of the University of California, gave the following statement of his plans: "We expect to realize for the University of California the greatest institution for agricultural research and instruction in the world. Such a great ambition should be shown to be reasonable. The following conditions lie in the foundation of it, "First. The earnest desire and deep determination to realize it on the part of those to whom the development of the university is entrusted by law. Second. Another significant indication of the coming greatness of the agricultural work of the University of California is found not only in a desire, but in a clearly expressed determination of the California people toward that end.

The board decided to meet in joint session on Saturday, Nov. 16th, with directors of the water company to discuss the pipeline on Broadway. This pipe projects in places above the level of the street, and also obstructs construction of a new cement curb on the south side of the thoroughfare. Recently the board instructed the water company to move it. The water company declined, saying that when the pipe was laid it conformed to the level of the street. A joint meeting was decided upon for an amicable adjustment. Deeds were accepted from Wm. Konig, Robt.

D. C. Burson of Pasadena, famous horticulturist, will opened a nursery, build a fine home, and live at Beaumont. Mr. Burson is This last season fishing was better in this county than ever before. The streams are running and the replenishing supply is just to do well. James Millington was arrested in Ana Ana last week and placed in the county jail, charged with the sale of a quantity of old plow stans and shares on the Babylon farm. The officers arrested H. J. Holly, a junk gatherer, several migrants, and charged him with the case, but they have decided that he had the wrong man. The junk farmer was sold by Millington to Jack Champlin, who sold a part of the Santa Ana iron works. The first lease for farming land on 100,000 acres bought by E. Bar- from the Don Marco Forster farm at San Juan Capistrano has been filed for record. By it W. R. Holly, a well-known rancher, leases acres for three years and, under agreement, the first year, he will plant 200 acres in beans and remainder in barley and oats the second and third years he will plant every acre suitable to crop of beans. One quarter of crop goes as rental to the Title Insurance and Trust company of Angeles, to which Barnett has held the ranch. All this big job not suited to farming has been added to Cornello Echenique for farming purposes. The stipulation that beans shall take the place of hay and oats in the second and third years is another indication of dependency of the ranchers in the eastern part of this county to turn lands to bean growing.

Bailey, professor of horticulture in Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y., in his volume on "Plant Breeding," gives the following interesting history of the first apples: "The original apple is not definitely known, but it was certainly a small and inferior crabbed fruit, borne mostly in clusters. When we first find it described by historians it was of small value. Pliny says that some were so sour as to take the edge off of the knife. But better and better seedlings continued to come up about habitations until, when printed descriptions of fruit began to be made, about 400 years ago, there were many kinds in existence. The size has vastly improved and with this increase came the reduction of the number of fruits in a cluster; so that at the present time, while apple flowers are borne in clusters, the fruits are generally borne singly. That is, most of the flowers fail to set fruit, and they complete their mission when they have shed their pollen for the benefit of the one which persists."

Realty Sales at Beaumont The Beaumont Land & Water company report sales of $17,000 for the past weeks, as a result of the regular week excursions. This does include the ordinary office sales of company, which it is said were also done. The excursions are proving a profitable feature of the company's business. They were devised nally in order to give "Missouri" an opportunity to become condued of the actual conditions of Beaumont. They immediately proved so fruitful of good results that it was and impolitic to discontinue them. This method of selling the property," said one of the visitors last Thursday, "simply proves that all the world can be shown. It is no trouble to goods that have the quality when exhibit the goods instead of the photographs." Work upon the new system is forging ahead. C.
