ALLEY OPENING PROCEEDS CITY TRUSTEES OVERRULE OBJECTIONS OF JOSEPH BACKS New District to Be Formed Embracing Property of Mr. Backs and Mrs. Mitchell, Who Will Settle Benefits and Damages Between Them—A Resolution of Street Paving—Building Permits Granted Joseph Backs' objections to the opening of an alley running east and west from Los Angeles to Palm street north of Center, were overruled by the City Trustees on Thursday evening, when Mr. Backs was present to present his side of the controversy. His residence stands at the eastern terminal of the alley and will have to be moved to allow of the new thoroughfare. Trustees Stock, Kroeger, Fiscus and Gates were present at the meeting. After Mr. Backs' objections had been considered, Trustee Fiscus moved, seconded by Trustee Gates, that the same be overruled, and the same carried unanimously. An ordinance was passed providing for appointment of commissioners to award damages and assess benefits for a new alley district, which will embrace the property of Joseph Backs and Mrs. Hattle Mitchell. All other property owners in the former dis- pipe and 3700 feet of four-inch pipe for the proposed new main on Broadway, and City Clerk Merritt was instructed to advertise for bids for the same. The main will be extended from Los Angeles street to Walnut. Joseph Frowenfeld of San Francisco requested the city to give him an agreement as to the price of walnut trees on his tract which will have to be taken out when Citron street shall be extended from South to Broad. A resolution was passed to be forwarded Mr. Frowenfeld offering to pay for the trees when the street is opened. A bid for paving street intersections of Los Angeles and Center streets and Hermine and Center was opened as follows: Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilson company, with certified check for $150 enclosed. They offered to do the work for the sum of 17 cents per square foot, the same as private owners are charged. The same was laid over until next regular meeting. Charles A. Boege submitted a map changing location of lots in Boege's subdivision of lot 34, at the intersection of West street and the county road. The same was adopted. James P. McCarter submitted a map of resubdivision of Block F, Helman & Sorenson addition, changing location of alley between Adele and Sycamore streets. The same was approved. F. C. Spencer addressed the board requesting that the business license ordinance be amended so that the source of seaward from duces it? What An ordinance was passed providing for appointment of commissioners to award damages and assess benefits for a new alley district, which will embrace the property of Joseph Backi and Mrs. Hattle Mitchell. All other property owners in the former district, which embraced the entire block, have settled according to law, and have been exempted from further assessments for opening the alley. The trustees declared the alley will be opened, and that benefits and damages will have to be settled by the two property owners between themselves. The board adopted the following resolution with reference to property owners who refuse to sign up for street paving: "Whereas, it appears that the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilson Company have entered into contracts for the paving of Center street, between Lemon and Los Angeles streets, except for the frontage opposite the property of G. J. and H. G. Strodthoff and Mrs. Hattle Mitchell and have also entered into contracts for the paving of Los Angeles street, between Chartres and Chestnut streets, except for the frontage opposite the frontage of Mrs. N. H. Mitchell; Therefore, be it resolved, That the said company be and they are hereby authorized to pave said streets, except those portions thereof for which no contracts have been entered into as aforesaid, in accordance with the terms, conditions, specifications and agreements contained in those certain resolutions adopted June 10th, 1909, granting said company permits to pave said streets." Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for June: water, $627.40; license, $547.20; electric lights, $888.80; total, $2063.40. Delinquents collected: water, 38.20; license, $5.20; lights, $49.45; total, $92.85. Delinquents reported: water, $152.70; license, $19.25; lights, $142.10 total, $314.05. Treasurer Boege reported a balance of $4496.94 on hand in the several funds. Recorder Howard reported seven cases in court during the month and $43 collected in fines and deposited in the treasury. James P. McCarter submitted a map of resubdivision of Block F, Helman & Sorenson addition, changing location of alley between Adele and Sycamore streets. The same was approved. F. C. Spencer addressed the board requesting that the business license ordinance be amended so that the charge for selling medicine on the street or in halls by illiterant vendors be reduced to $2.50 per day or $75 per month, from the present rate of $10 per day. No action was taken. Emil B. Dreyfus of San Francisco wrote in reference to paving of Center and Los Angeles streets, and requesting that he be advised of the action of the city in regard thereto. The clerk was instructed to write Mr. Dreyfus the necessary information. Building permits were granted as follows: R. Melrose, garage on Hedwig streets, costing $200. J. Seaman to erect a $1300 residence on Atchison street. Eugene Adams, $1350 residence on Adele street. Gustave Chemnitzer, $800 residence on Sycamore. The report of the public library trustees was received showing cost of library to be $10,737.15, and cash on hand $651.98. The report was received and filed. Trustee Stock reported the terms of F. C. Spencer and Dr. Johnston as library trustees had expired, and he had reappointed them to succeed themselves. The action was approved by council Engineer Lewis asked a vacation for powerhouse employees. A ten days' leave of absence was granted each of the six employees, with full pay.

Recorder Howard reported seven cases in court during the month and $43 collected in fines and deposited in the treasury. Superintendent of streets reported water connections made for W. F. McClellan on Vine street, Eugene Adams on Adele street, Joseph P. Gilson, South Lemon; M. W. Skinner, South Lemon; J. Seaman, South Atchison. The north half of Center street from Orange to East street and Kroeger street from Center to Broadway were reported oiled. Team No.1 is hauling gravel on oilled roads and team No.2 sprinkling streets. He reported that he had bought 43,880 pounds of hay at $14 per ton, and that the principal streets had been cleared of weeds and grass. Engineer Lewis reported on water mains laid, and meters connecting new residences with mains, houses wired and all water service and water connections in area to be paved set back in sidewalk and lowered to admit of paving, and new service installed for vacant lots, where water may be needed later. Trustee Fiscus reported approval of financial report and auditing of demands against the city amounting to $5602.94. In the amount are bonds and interest amounting to $2340, which had been already paid and been deducted from bond fund. Engineer Lewis reported it would require 1100 feet of 6-inch cast iron A FINE SHOWING German American Bank Shows Large Deposits The statement of the financial condition of the German-American bank appears elsewhere in this issue. The statement shows the bank's total resources to be $205,444.82, and total deposits $177,326.88. For an institution which has been in existence only three years and a half, this speaks volumes, and reflects credit upon the president, Adolph Thomas, and cashier, Charles A. Boege. January 8, 1906, the total deposits amounted to $1,099.68. January 30 of the same year the amount rose to $15,941.90. June 30, 1908, the deposits reached $138,425.07, and have been steadily rising until the present total of $177,326.88. The directors are to be congratulated along with the efficient officials of the bank. SOCIETY AT HARDSCRABBLE Mrs. Cole Entertains Ladies of Euchre Club Mrs. W. J. Cole charmingly entertained the ladies euchre club at her home, Hardscrabble farm, on Thursday afternoon. Delicious refreshments of ice and cake were served at the conclusion of the game. The first prize, a cut glass nappy was won by Mrs. Wallop. The second, a cut glass sauce dish, by Miss Winifred Melrose, and the consolation, a dainty recepticle for violets, by Mrs. Adolph Rimpau. The next meeting will be held in October at the home of Mrs. John Hartung. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1909 SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY SUPERNATURAL AND IMAGINARY THEORIES DISCARDED Actual Records Show That Water Is Supplied By Natural Causes—The Santa Ana River in Southern California Used to Demonstrate Subject as Typical of Other Streams At the meeting of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee at Balboa on Thursday, a report of which will be found upon another page, an important feature was the reading by E. E. Keech of an article written nine years ago by Samuel Armor of Orange upon "The Source of Our Water Supply." No subject possesses more interest to the people living in Orange county and Mr. Armor spoke with prophetic intuition when penning the lines in 1909. At the request of various members of the committee, we secured from Mr. Armor a copy of his paper and publish it herewith. Nine years ago it appeared in the columns of the Gazette, and its points are recalled by old-time irrigators: Considerable misapprehension arises in the minds of some people about the source of the water which flows seaward from the interior. What produces it? Where does it come from? These questions may not arise in with good fall and considerable pressure has been known to fill up solid more than once with the silt from the soil above the pipe. In view of these facts and illustrations it is reasonable to conclude that none of the underground water in the basin of the Santa Ana river comes through the San Bernardino range of mountains from the Mojave desert or elsewhere; it is practically impossible for it to do so. While the third theory, that the water in the middle and lower course of the river is return-seepage from the irrigation above, has more merit than either of the other two, it will not do to press it too far or rely on it very much. In a few exceptional cases, where there is clay or hardpan near the surface, like the plains of Fresno or some of the mesa west of Riverside, irrigating water will be arrested in its downward course through the soil and be deflected toward the stream by the dip of the impervious substratum until the lower edge of the mesa and the bottom land become saturated and a small quantity of water reaches the stream. But in the great majority of cases, where the soil is deep and underlaid with a loose formation, none of the water used in irrigation on the mesa away from the stream ever finds its way back to the river again—at least not without being reinforced by the winter rains, when water becomes a drug in the market. This fact is ENGINEER PILLSBURY HEAD DRIVES OVER ELECTRIC RAILWAY ROUTE WITH MR. ROYER Revival of Report That Huntington Line Will Build From This City to Garden Grove by Way of Walnut Street—Mr. Royer Taking Active Interest in the Proposed Lines Col. George E. Pillsbury, chief engineer of the Pacific Electric railway, was in town some days ago, and in company of J. O. Royer drove over the route between this city and Garden Grove. Col. Pillsbury's presence in town was not learned until a day or two after his departure and Mr. Royer lent interest to the story that the line to the ocean from this city would be by way of Walnut street and Garden Grove and Taleben instead of due west to Cypress to junction with the Los Angeles line. Mr. Royer, it is known, takes an active interest in electric-railway building, and Col. Pillsbury in a recent interview on local conditions said such expenditures as Mr. Royer is making here challenged the attention of Mr. Huntington and other officials of the Pacific Electric company.

Nine years ago it appeared in the columns of the Gazette, and its points are recalled by old-time irrigators: Considerable misapprehension arises in the minds of some people about the source of the water which flows seaward from the interior. What produces it? Where does it come from? These questions may not arise in sections where the source of the supply is manifest to all in the frequent rains; but in the arid regions of the west it is often cause for wonder that water will continue to flow in some of the streams eight or nine months without replenishment from the rains, and even two or three years, in exceptional cases, with a very scant supply. Quite recently an otherwise intelligent man pointed out some prominent rocks far up the mountain as "water-making rocks," which he said produced the water in the Santa Ana river. An article in the California Cultivator from the facile pen of Wm. M. Bristol of East Highlands, Cal., seriously advocated the theory that a portion, at least, of the underground water in the basin of the Santa Ana river comes through under the San Bernardino mountains from the Mojave desert or even from the remote Rocky mountains. A number of eminent engineers, finding considerable water entering the river in its middle and lower course after all had been taken out for irrigation higher up, jumped to the conclusion that the water entering below was the identical water taken out above. All of these theories are more or less wrong, as will appear during the progress of this discussion. The first theory, that the water in the river is the product of certain "water-making rocks," is absurd, the vagary of an ignorant and superstitious mind. An examination of these rocks discloses nothing unusual about them, no chemical action taking place and no sign of water anywhere about them. It is strange that such a theory should be invented and still stranger that anyone would believe it. The second theory, that water comes through under the mountain range, is not much more reasonable than the first. Think of it. That mountain range forms a rock dam many miles in thickness and more substratum until the lower edge of the mesa and the bottom land become saturated and a small quantity of water reaches the stream. But in the great majority of cases, where the soil is deep and underlaid with a loose formation, none of the water used in irrigation on the mesa away from the stream ever finds its way back to the river again—at least not without being reinforced by the winter rains, when water becomes a drug in the market. This fact is demonstrated by the wells along the lower edge of the mesa which is drenched winter and summer by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company's canals; the water rises and falls in these wells according to the rainfall, the wet and the dry years, but it is never affected by the irrigation immediately above the wells. The only reasons given for this return-seepage theory are that, notwithstanding the diversion of all the water from the channel above, a large stream appears below and that the stream is greater now, since the practice of irrigation, than it was before. In answer to the first reason, it may be stated that it is usual for a stream to have additions to its volume along the whole length of its channel, whether its waters be diverted for irrigation or not. If the upper supply be diverted, the additions will take its place to continue the stream; but where these additions come from is another story, as Rudyard Kipling says, which will be told best in figures later in this article. In answer to the second reason, it may be denied that the stream is greater now than before the practice of irrigation, on the testimony of those familiar with the Santa Ana river for a generation. Even if it were so, the explanation would be found in the greater proportion of the rainfall that now sinks into the cultivated fields and shaded orchards of the valley, thus allowing less run-off and evaporation, rather than in return-seepage from irrigation. The supernatural and imaginative theories to account for the water in the Santa Ana river having thus been disposed of, it now remains to explain the real source of the supply and to show that the stream is replenished in the usual way by natural causes. The drainage-basin of the Santa Ana river includes, in addition to the mountain slopes of its tributaries, all the portion of that junction with the Los Angeles line. Mr. Royer, it is known, takes an active interest in electric-railway building, and Col. Pillsbury in a recent interview on local condition said such expenditures as Mr. Royer is making here challenged the attention of Mr. Huntington and other officials of the Pacific Electric company. Mr. Huntington may have a fran-chise through Anaheim from which city from the north or east to the southwestern limits, past Mr. Royer's place on Walnut street. It is believed right of way thence to Garden Grove can be easily secured, while the route west to Cypress would cut through some of the best walnut and orange orchards in the valley. The Pacific Electric will ask before building, first, a right of way free of all encumbrances, and second, it may require a monitary consideration. Street rumors have not progressed far enough to tell just how much a right of way and bonus would amount to, but reports are current that interesting developments may be looked for. For a year or more it has been known that Col. Pillsbury favors Cypress line. He has in fact said as much, but the fact that he drove over the Walnut-street route in company of West End millionaire who has done more than any one man to direct Mr. Huntington's attention hitherward, would indicate that this latter route has not been entirely dismissed from consideration. A Los Angeles railroad man in town this week said there was no little electric-railway talk in that city about Mr. Huntington's line to Anaheim, and that Mr. Huntington had had the matter placed before him in convincing manner by influential citizens of this city. DEER SEASON OPEN JULY 15TH State Commission Finds That Day Is Not August 1st Deputy State Fish Commissioner J. W. Morrison of Orange has received word from the Los Angeles office of the State Fish Commission to the effect that the deer season will open July 15 instead of August 1 as had been previously announced. Within the last ten days this commissioners discovered that the change The second theory, that water comes through under the mountain range, is not much more reasonable than the first. Think of it. That mountain range forms a rock dam many miles in thickness and more than a mile high. The weight of such a mass of matter, in the upheaval and contraction, would compact and solidify the underlying stratum until every vestige of a crack would disappear; if it were possible to conceive of "millions of crevices many miles in length" being produced by any such cause in such material, the first seismic action with such a superimposed weight would close up every one instantly. From the excavations already made in the mountainside it is learned that the seams and fissures near the surface, caused by the action of the atmosphere and descending water, entirely disappear and the rock becomes almost too hard to pick or drill toward the center of gravity of the mountain. Even where the water has excavated caves and crevices near the surface the first earthquake closes them up, as the one did at San Jacinto three years ago when it settled several acres of land near the base of the mountain from three to seven feet. Besides, the silt in the water from the surface washings would soon close up the "million devious crevices," as everybody sees that it has done in the clay seams found in rock taken from any quarry near the surface. A piece of two-inch pipe twenty feet long under a driveway turn-seepage from irrigation. The supernatural and imaginative theories to account for the water in the Santa Ana river having thus been disposed of, it now remains to explain the real source of the supply and to show that the stream is replenished in the usual way by natural causes. The drainage-basin of the Santa Ana river includes, in addition to the mountain slopes of its tributaries, all the portion of that great inland valley east of Pomona, which extends from the San Bernardino mountains on the north to the range of the hills on the south separating it from the lower valley facing the coast. The surface of this inland valley slopes toward the river, which passes through it, and also toward the hills on the south, finding its lowest level below Rincon, where the river breaks through the range of hills on its way to the ocean. The winter rains descend each year with varying quantity upon the entire surface of the drainage-basin of the river, furnishing all the water, surface, sub-surface and artesian, within such basin; the part that does not immediately run off or evaporate sinks into the soil to supply the underground reservoirs and to ooze into the stream along down the channel. Andrew C. Lawson, professor of geology in the University of California, expressed the opinion that the canyon through the hills below Rincon is an erosion of the river and that there is no other exit, surface or subterranean, for the water from this inland basin. The deep borings for oil along the hills corroborate this opinion. A record, therefore, of the rainfall within the exterior boundaries of the drainage- State Commission Finds That this Day is Not August 1st Deputy State Fish Commissioner J. W. Morrison of Orange has received word from the Los Angeles office of the State Fish Commission to the effect that the deer season will open July 15 instead of August 1 as had been previously announced. Within the last ten days the commissioners discovered that the change of date from July 15, as it stood last year, to August 1 had failed to be come law. The season will begin July 15, as it did last year. The reason the season was not shortened is that someone made a blunder in the legislature in handling the state fish commission's game law amendments. The bill that went through the legal institution was changed in such manner that the opening day was left as it was, July 15. There is no change in the limits A hunter may kill two bucks in this season. Does and fawns cannot be killed lawfully, and the penalty for killing them is heavy. The new regulation on bag limits for dove and quail is twenty birds in one day. Last year the bag limit was twenty-five. The law making their reduction to twenty is in force, and hunters who learn that the date for the opening season on deer is unchanged should not be confused in their ideas concerning the bag limits for doves, the opening day of this season being also July 15. The dove season closes on October 15. Doubtless there will be a rush at the county clerk's office all this week by those seeking hunter's licenses. This year rabbit hunters must have licenses. Local hunters say that the opening AZETTE 15, 1909 NUMBER 39 MR PILLSBURY HERE OVER ELECTRIC RAIL-RUTE WITH MR.

Austin, regimental quartermaster, has received orders from Colonel Schrieber to arrange for the transportation of the twelve companies of the Seventh regiment to Bay City for the annual encampment which will begin at that place on July 20, and last twelve days. All the companies have received orders to prepare for the encampment and the commissary department has arranged for loads of provisions to feed the 800 soldiers of the state. Bay City is preparing to multiply its population in two weeks. Immediately after the encampment, the cavalry officers of the infantry will use the same horses that the officers of the infantry will use, in a practice march to San Diego and return, a feature that will be one of the most trying tests of discipline. A military ball, tendered by Company H, will entertain the soldiers of the regiment as one of the closing events of the encampment of the militiamen at Bay City. Capt. Borden, of the Long Beach company, is arranging for the ball, which will probably be given in the Majestic pavilion, besides other features which will draw the 800 soldier boys to Long Beach on many days during their stay. A special ferry will be maintained across Alamitos Bay inlet from the Bay City wharf to the car line. Soldiers will be as numerous in Long Beach then as sailors are during a visit of battleships. Capt Austin will spend $350 in Long Beach for hay and grain. The minutes of the previous adjourned meeting were read and approved. Ahlborn reported on paving, saying that work was progressing and that the desired district would probably be paved. Mr. Mills reported that he and Mr. Ross were in Los Angeles all day Monday distributing advertising material among the Elks in that city. Mr. Ahlborn brought forth the petition asking the city trustees to order new and decorative street lights placed on the streets soon to be paved, and said that the petitioners desired the endorsement of the chamber. Moved and carried that the board endorse and advocate the new lighting proposition. It was moved and seconded that the W. O.
