STERN RESIGNS OFFICE FEELING BETWEEN HIM AND SUPERIOR OFFICERS CAUSE Company Stands Well In Front In Point of Efficiency Concerning the State Guard—Election to Choose Successor After Maneuvers—Probable Successor. Announcement of the resignation of Captain Herman Stern, commanding Company E, was made at drill on Thursday evening. An election to select an officer to fill the vacancy will be held on the company's return from joint maneuvers at Atascadero Oct. 4-15. First Lieut. Kellenberger and Second Lieut. Selinger are mentioned for the position. Stern's resignation comes as a climax to long-standing ill-feeling toward him on the part of superior regimental and brigade officers. His court-martial and the subsequent setting aside of the findings of the court by the governor are matters of too recent military history to warrant recapitulation. Stern was held by the governor to be blameless of the charges preferred against him and he was restored to full command of the company. His commission was subsequently held up at regimental headquarters, and he was summoned to appear for further examination. Rather than continue the personal warfare which has subsisted between him and his superior officers, he resolved to resign before the company goes to maneuvers at Atascadero. Inception of the quarrel between Stern and Col. Schrieber dates from the election of Col. Finley over Schrieber as commanding officer of the regiment, four years ago. Stern was an active partisan of Finley, along with other country officers, and incurred Schrieber's ill will thereby. ONE PER CENT. DISSEMINATION WATER COMPANY VOTES BOOK IN AMOUNT $300,000 Will Retire Floating Note Indefinitely and Erect Headquarters Building in This City—Large Attendance of the Stockholders Were Present. Stockholders of the Anaheim Water company on Saturday were practically without dissent to its bonds in $300,000, which will be used in large part to refund the company floating indebtedness. The bond bear interest at 6 per cent. Chairman Crowther called the meeting to order promptly at 11 o'clock and Secretary Krick began calling the roll, which consumed nearly an hour. The office was filled with stockholders who seemed to be practically unanimous in favor of the proposed bond issue. At conclusion of roll call it was announced that 5964 shares were present or represented by proxy, of a total of 8004 issued. C. C. Chapman, the largest holder in the company, owning shares, was one of the few large shareholders who did not answer roll call, but he later forwarded proxy, which was voted in favor of the bonds. Mr. Crowther announced a quorum present and the meeting was therefore ready for business. Mr. Sherwood moved that a committee of three and three ball clerks be named, the latter to receive $2 for their services. There were no number of seconds, and the motion prevailed unanimously. The chair appointed as ballot clerk L. P. Drake, Wm. Kroeger and E. N. Turck. O. des Granges, J. G. Talbott and H. H. Gunderson were named a com and his superior officers, he resolved to resign before the company goes to maneuvers at Atascadero. Inception of the quarrel between Stern and Col. Schrieber dates from the election of Col. Finley over Schrieber as commanding officer of the regiment, four years ago. Stern was an active partisan of Finley, along with other country officers, and incurred Schrieber's ill will thereby. Under Stern's command Company E has attained an enviable record in the California national guard. Twice it stood second among all the companies in the guard in efficiency. The only company in the state ahead of it last year was Brig.-Gen. Wankowski's former Company A of Los Angeles. Twice under his command Co. E repaired to San Francisco to do military duty, at the time of the fire two and a half years ago and the carmen's strike last year. Company E's superb record as a military organization dates back to a period long before the Spanish war. Its members responded to the call for troops, and went to the front with hand on trigger and powder dry. Its record for many years past is a proud one. When the company returns from meuvers an election will be held to select a new captain. It will doubtless continue as one of the crack military organizations of the state. Daniel Moore of Des Moines, Iowa, an old-time friend of H. H. Crone, visited with that gentleman several days the past week. Public schools reopened on Monday with an increased attendance. Mr. Sherwood moved that a committee of three and three ball clerks be named, the latter to receive $2 for their services. There were a number of seconds, and the motion prevailed unanimously. The chair appointed as ballot clerk L. P. Drake, Wm. Kroeger and E. N. Turck. O. des Granges, J. G. Talbott and H. H. Gunderson were named a committee on proxies. The call for the meeting was read and a discussion ensued as to interest upon the bonds. The discussion was participated in by Attorney Merrose, B. F. Porter, G. W. Sherwood, Wm. Crowther and others. Six percent was agreed upon. Voting began immediately after lunch, and proceeded until 5 oclock when it was announced that 6641 shares had voted in favor and 79 1/3 against the issue. Among the notable improvements in contemplation by the company is a two-story brick headquarters office work upon which will probably begin in the near future. John Hanna states he will have detectives stationed at each of his three walnuts orchards at Miraflores, with instructions to arrest all pilferers of walnuts, man, woman or child. He will pay a reward of $25 for information leading to arrest and conviction of anyone taking walnuts from his groves. He has a reasonably accurate idea of the identity of the persons who have visited his orchard with felonious intent in the past, and proposes to put a stop to the practice.

LOOKING AT NUT CROP William Crowther, who has been a successful walnut grower in the Fullerton-Placentia district since 1884, asserts that the estimate of the present crop by some growers is far too high. He is a director of the Golden Belt association, has visited many walnut groves and has reliable reports from all the walnut districts of the county. He has estimated that the increase in Orange county this season will not be more than 10 per cent overer last yeear's crop. Mr. Crowther does not believe the increase will even be this heavy in some sections. He says the largest crop in the history of the industry in the state was in 1901 and he then harvested 1500 pounds per acre. From that date down to the present time the output has been about 800 pounds per acre and Mr. Crowther's highest estimate on this year's crop is from 900 to 1000 pounds to the acre. Mr. Crowther is one of the most prominent and best known growers in the county and states that other leading growers estimate that the increase this year will not be more than from 8 to 10 per cent over last season's output.

In the midst of festivities of the Knights of Maccabees celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the order, Mrs. Viola M. Lee, wife of H. P. Lee, dropped dead at Santa Ana on Monday night. Mrs. Lee had arisen from the banquet tabl where she had laughed and chatted with her friends, and was walking into the main lodge room when death overtook her. At first it was thought she had fainted, but an examination by physicians showed that death had been instantaneous. An autopsy was performed upon the body, the surgeons reporting death to have caused by heart failure superinduced by kidney trouble. R. C. Hein has sold his 20-acre tract at the West End, which includes a fine pumping plant, for $12,500.
