TOTAL PAVING COST, $46,000 CITY'S SHARE FOR STREET INTERSECTIONS, $7300 Entire Tax Fund for General Purposes, $10,000—Of This $2000 Will Be Paid for New Pipe Line on Broadway—$20,000 More Paving in sight City Engineer Steward submitted to the city trustees at their meeting on Thursday evening figures showing the cost to the municipality for paving street intersections on Center and Los Angeles streets. His figures show that this cost will amount to $7300, and that the total cost for paving now under contract is $46,000. In addition to this there is about $20,000 of more paving in sight, on Claudina, Hermine, Broadway and West Center streets. Final estimates may run much higher than those here enumerated. The entire tax fund for general purposes is $10,000. Two thousand dollars will have to be paid for the new pipe line on Broadway, which will leave $8000 with which to meet paving charges. Municipal improvements have been going forward at a rapid rate, and around the city hall the word is that improvements have just begun. Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Kroeger, Stock and Gates were present. WALNUT-GROWERS FIX PRICES Lack of Organization Brings Low Rate One hundred and twenty-five walnut-growers from all parts of Southern California, representing four-fifths of this season's crop, met at the Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles, on Saturday and fixed prices for the current year. Representing the Anaheim association were J. B. Neff, Joseph Fiscus, Samuel Kraemer, Mr. Covert and S. Hayden. The price for first-class softshells was fixed at 11 1-2 cents, for first class hardshells 11 cents and for No. 2's of both grades 7 1-2 cents. Local growers contended for a higher price, as did also B. F. Porter of Fullerton and Judge Stutsman of Tustin, but Rivera and Ventura growers stood for a lower price than last year. Last year's crop was reported to be 920 ten-ton cars. Estimates of the present year's crop showed 742 ten-ton cars in the field. With a much smaller crop than last year, and with infinitely better financial conditions prevailing, the price was fixed lower than last year because of lack of organization among the growers. Last year's rate was 12 1-2 cents for first-class softshells, and at this figure 75 per cent of the crop was sold. A drop to 9 1-2 cents came on January 1st, as COMPROMISE VALLEY IRRIGATION AGREEMENT A compromise to between the S development Co., with company of the S irrigation Co. and Water Co., on the Riverside Water hand, which complements for all time the side Water Co. in Santa Ana river as the two big this county are c o erside company supply to the ame the last ten years mer and 3300 im of the year.

STATE BAR ASSOCIATION District Attorney Davis has received a letter from Scott Hendricks, secretary of the San Francisco Bar Association asking that the attorneys of this county co-operate with the San Francisco bar in the formation of a state bar association. The letter states that a meeting of attorneys from all over the state will be held in San Francisco on Oct. 18. The purpose of the state association, according to the letter, will be to be 920 ten-ton cars. Estimates of the present year's crop showed 742 ten-ton cars in the field. With a much smaller crop than last year, and with infinitely better financial conditions prevailing, the price was fixed lower than last year because of lack of organization among the growers. Last year's rate was 12 1-2 cents for first-class softshells, and at this figure 75 per cent of the crop was sold. A drop to 9 1-2 cents came on January 1st, as a result of bad management. Since that time the growers have been practically without an organization. A number of growers said market conditions would warrant a price of 13 or 14 cents, and that lack of organization cost the growers a quarter of a million dollars. The price to the consumers is not one penny less per pound as a result of the lower rate adopted. The price of the present season's crop is estimated at one and three-quarter million dollars. "We should have had two million dollars for the crop," said a prominent Orange-county grower yesterday. RATHLY DAY Next Sunday is Rally Day in the Presbyterian Sunday school.

OFFERS TURNED DOWN Attempted Purchases of Business Places Fail As showing the stability of Anaheim business houses, it may be mentioned that during the past two weeks offers for the purchase of several places of business have been turned down. In some of the cases, where the owner was asked to set a price upon his property, prospective purchasers were met with refusal. "Will you take a fancy price for a half interest in your business?" asked a would-be buyer of a local firm. He was politely told no part of the business was for sale. "Why should I sell my business?" said a merchant this week, "even at a fancy price? I don't know where I could go and find a better place, and I should be to some expense looking for another site. This it would cost me something to find. There is no better location in the state than Anaheim, except it may be in the larger cities, and no man can be successful there except he has large capital. No, my business is not for sale." District Attorney Davis has received a letter from Scott Hendricks, secretary of the San Francisco Bar Association asking that the attorneys of this county co-operate with the San Francisco bar in the formation of a state bar association. The letter states that a meeting of attorneys from all over the state will be held in San Francisco on Oct. 18. The purpose of the state association, according to the letter, will be to form a closer relationship among the attorneys of the state, to elevate the general tone of ethics and to work together for remedial legislation. Each county bar association is to be allowed three representatives, the state association to be formed of county bar associations and not of individual attorneys, except that where a county has more than forty attorneys another representative is to be allowed for each extra forty attorneys. HITCHING POSTS Editor Gazette.—Your article on hitching posts in last week's issue was timely. If we expect our rural neighbors to come to Anaheim to trade they must be furnished some easily accessible place to tie their horses. When this is done would it not be a good idea to impress upon some of the owners of automobiles that it is not good practice to leave their machines next the carb and just where they prevent persons with horses from getting to the hitching posts. One can see this proposition any day on our streets. It would seem that any one with brains enough to run a machine should exercise a little judgment in this regard and keep clear of the hitching posts. Sub. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 30, 1909 COMPROMISE WATER SUIT VALLEY IRRIGATORS REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH RIVERSIDERS Upper Valley Irrigators to Cease Pumping on Riverside Basin, which Will Increase Supply of Lower Owners—A Perpetual Limit Placed on Water Used by Riverside Irrigators A compromise has been entered into between the Santa Ana River Development Co., which is the holding company of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and the Anaheim Union Water Co., on the one hand, and the Riverside Water Co., on the other hand, which compromise will settle for all time the rights of the Riverside Water Co. in the waters of the Santa Ana river and its basins so far as the two big water companies of this county are concerned. The Riverside company agrees to confine its supply to the amount used by it for the last ten years, 3080 inches in summer and 3300 inches the remainder of the year. The compromise will eventually be incorporated in a judgment of the federal court. The Riverside Water Co. is one of a number of water users up the Santa Ana river who are defendants in the action brought in the United States Circuit Court by the Santa Ana Riverside Water Co. is allowed to maintain its present domestic water supply system for the city of Riverside by an artesian well in the San Bernardino basin and a pumping plant at Rubideaux mountain, the pumping plant to be limited to 100 inches, except that 200 inches may be pumped until the water company can lay a new pipe line into the San Bernardino basin. At present the pipe line from the upper basin is not sufficient to bring down an adequate supply should the 100-inch limit be established at once. To insure the early establishment of the limit the agreement is made that the Riverside Water Co. will lay a pipe line sufficient for its needs just as quickly as it can borrow the money at five per cent to do the work. Under the agreement, the terms are to be made a part of the judgment, when a judgment is finally entered in the United States Circuit Court in the water suit. The judgment will set up the agreement or its terms as a part of the judgment, and the Riverside Water Co. will forever be enjoined from using more than the amount specified in the agreement just entered into. This is an important step in the settlement of the water rights as between the two lower companies and those above. LOCALS TAKE ONE TALKING ABOUT GOOD ROADS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HAS 100 ANAHEIM SIGNATURES Committee Appointed to Interview Supervisor Linebarger on County Roads Makes Report—Letter From County Auditor Showing Expenditures—Man Wants to Get Married A meeting of directors of the chamber of commerce was held on Monday evening, with Messrs. Mills, Miller, Wickett, Weisel and Ahlborn present. Absent, Angell and Ross. On motion of Weisel, seconded by Wickett, the sewer committee was instructed to obtain from the city information regarding the present status of the sewer question. Carried. Wickett reported the petition on good roads almost completed. Anaheim turned in nearly 100 names.Fullerton requested to have the issue of bonds delayed until the size of its city limits might be reduced. Moved by Weisel, seconded by Wickett, that the report be accepted and filed. Carried. The committee on county roads reported as follows: Committee in reference to road-fund expenditures called on Supervisor Linebarger and laid the resolution in regard to the matter before him. He informed your committee. The Riverside Water Co. is one of a number of water users up the Santa Ana river who are defendants in the action brought in the United States Circuit Court by the Santa Ana River Development Co., which action was brought a few months ago asking injunctions against each water user to stop infringements upon the river's water supply to the detriment of the Orange county companies. Some of these water users were sinking wells and draining the underground supply that should flow into the river channel and come down the river to the lower riparian users. There seemed to be no limit to which these infringements might be taken, and every infringement lessened the supply below. One of the purposes of the suit was to settle just how much each user was entitled to, if entitled to any at all. The Riverside Water Co. is one of the old established companies. A committee from that company met with committees from the S.A.V.I. Co. and the A.U.W.Co. at Santa Ana a short time ago and an outline of the plan of compromise made. Last Thursday there was an informal joint meeting of the two water companies and a regular meeting of the S.A.R. D. Co. at Anaheim. Some minor changes in the proposed compromise were suggested, and were accepted by the Riverside Water Co., with whom the meeting conferred by telephone. The S.A.R.D. Co. directors passed a resolution authorizing their attorneys to proceed in the suit in accordance with the compromise agreement. Inasmuch as the directors of the two water companies were not in session, it was found necessary for the agreement to be passed upon separately by the two water companies. The S.A.V.I. Co. board accepted the agreement at its meeting at Orange on Saturday last. The Anaheim company will pass upon the agreement next Saturday, and it undoubtedly will be accepted as it now stands. By the provisions of the agreement the S.A.R.D. Co. admits the right of the Riverside Water Co. to ment will set up the agreement or its terms as a part of the judgment, and the Riverside Water Co. will forever be enjoined from using more than the amount specified in the agreement just entered into. This is an important step in the settlement of the water rights as between the two lower companies and those above. LOCALS TAKE ONE Defeat Los Angeles Aggregation at Baseball Local ball tossers defeated the Union Well Supply of Los Angeles at baseball on home grounds Sunday afternoon before a large crowd by a score of 3 to 1. Features of the game were the pitching of Huntington and Spencer, Valencia’s work at first and Chilly Fisher’s audacious stealing of bases. Hursey was touched up for eight hits. The locals scored their first run in the second on a hit by Carpenter, a sacrifice by Collins and a single by Huntington. In the third Fisher was hit by a pitched ball, went to second on a steal, took third on an overthrow to second, and came home while the center fielder was fiddling with the ball. In the seventh Schneider scored the last run of the game. He went to first on a hit, stole second and third and came home on an error by the foreigner shortstop. The foreigners got their only run in the sixth inning on a three-bagger by Connor and a hit by Herman. The locals play the Pasadena White Sox next Sunday. Los Angeles Athletic club plays here the following Sunday, and the Los Angeles Brick company the Sunday following. A MILE OF MONEY Joseph Helmsen Getting Up in the Rockfeller Class On Friday Joseph Helmsen forwarded the treasurer of Imperial county a check for $765, covering interest and penalties on a square mile of land which he purchased from the state in 1888. The initial price was to be $1.25 per acre, and this price holds good, although the land has largely increased in value. Twenty-five cents per acre was paid at the time of the purchase, or $160. A dolton requested to have the issue of bonds delayed until the size of its city limits might be reduced. Moved by Weisel, seconded by Wickett, that the report be accepted and filed. Carried. The committee on county roads reported as follows: Committee in reference to road-fund expenditures called on Supervisor Linebarger and laid the resolution in regard to the matter before him. He informed your committee that he had laid out a plan of road improvement which he was carrying out. The plan is to make a good road from the oil wells, through Placentia to Fullerton city limits, and on to Anaheim city limits on East Center street; also Orangethorpe avenue and Garden Grove road and other roads, as far as the funds would go He began at the oil wells and worked this way, so that at first more money was expended in the Fullerton district, but that at present he was working in the Anaheim road district on Orangethorpe avenue and Garden Grove road, and that already he had completed the Placentia avenue road from Orangethorpe avenue to Anaheim city limits on East Center street. He assured the committee that he intended to go ahead in the Anaheim road district until the money from both the general road fund and current expense funds was evened up between the two districts. The Supervisor said that for the last few years previous, Anaheim road district had received more than her proportion of the general road fund, and asked the committee to write to the auditor and get the figures for previous years. The county auditor was written to and has replied as follows: Santa Ana, Cal., Sept. 20,'09. A. A. Mills, Esq., Anaheim, Cal.-My Dear Sir: Yours of even date at hand and in reply to same will say Orange county has never compiled a report in conformity with Section 4049A, Political Code, prior to the report that I got out for the fiscal year 1908-1909. I have all ways considered that such a report should be kept up each month that the taxpayers may see at the end of the year or at any month for that matter, the exact amount paid from the current expense fund to various roads, etc. The report is not being kept up now for the present fiscal year. The expense to the county for the last report was $40 per session, it was found necessary for the agreement to be passed upon separately by the two water companies. The S.A.V.I. Co. board accepted the agreement at its meeting at Orange on Saturday last. The Anaheim company will pass upon the agreement next Saturday, and it undoubtedly will be accepted as it now stands. By the provisions of the agreement the S.A.R.D. Co. admits the right of the Riverside Water Co. to 3080 inches of continuous flow during the months of June, July, August and September of each year (average flow), and to 3300 inches the remainder of the year. These are the amounts used by the Riverside Water Co. for the last ten years, and the lower companies admit its right to what it now has, but no more. The Riverside Water Co. is to take its water to make up its share as follows: First, from gravity flow; second, from artesian wells; third, by pumping plants. This order must be maintained. If there is not enough gravity and artesian flow to make up the amount, pumping plants may be used, but not before. The Riverside Water Co. must get all its water, if it is possible to do so, from the San Bernardino basin. This is of signal advantage to the lower water users. The Riverside Water Co. now has pumping plants in the Riverside basin. These must be abandoned, and the water taken by pumping plants to be established in the San Bernardino basin. The advantage in this is that the lower companies are not affected by the exhausting of the San Bernardino basin underground supply as it is by the pumping from the Riverside basin supply, for the reason that the percolation from the Riverside basin Joseph Helmsen Getting Up In the Rockfeller Class On Friday Joseph Helmsen forwarded the treasurer of Imperial county a check for $765, covering interest and penalties on a square mile of land which he purchased from the state in 1888. The initial price was to be $1.25 per acre, and this price holds good, although the land has largely increased in value. Twenty-five cents per acre was paid at the time of the purchase, or $160. A dollar per acre remains due. This payment can be made at any time, so long as interest is kept up on deferred payments. The check forwarded on Friday was, as stated, for penalties and interest accruing since the original payment in 1888. In 1892 a party of local prospectors made an overland trip to the desert in search of mineral deposits. They were requested by Mr. Helmsen to look up his square mile of land and report upon it. They did so. On their return they pronounced it worthless, many miles from nowhere and utterly barren and a desert waste. Further payments upon the land were not made, and the whole matter passed out of mind until some weeks ago Mr. Helmsen received a call from an Imperial county man who wanted to know what he would take for his interest in the property. Investigation showed the land to be located near one of Imperial county's thriving towns. It lies under a proposed government irrigation project and is valuable. Mr. Helmsen says the land is worth a mile of money. Judge Shanley is a trifle chesty over Pittsburg's winning of the pennant. Greatest club in the world,says the Judge. Section 4049A, Political Code, prior to the report that I got out for the fiscal year 1908-1909. I have all ways considered that such a report should be kept up each month that the taxpayers may see at the end of the year or at any month for that matter, the exact amount paid from the current expense fund to the various roads, etc. The report is not being kept up now for the present fiscal year. The expense to the county for the last report was $40 per month, so it may be that the board of supervisors did not consider the report worth the price. So to get the amount expended from the current expense fund and the general road fund for the Fullerton and Anaheim road districts for the years prior to my report, I refer you to the board of supervisors, as the warrants are allowed on such funds but do not show for what road district. If the report had been kept up under Sec. 4049A it would have been necessary to put the road district on the warrant, that the statistician might record same as per my report at page 29-30-31. Would advise that you take the matter up with the board of supervisors, as they were the parties that approved the demands and should know what road district was getting the benefit of the funds. There were 4200 warrants allowed in 1907 and 5235 during 1908, so it will be a great undertaking to get at the exact figures. I would not say that it was compulsory for a supervisor to put the road district on the demand when he approves it. He must put the amount and fund before I can draw the warrant, so I do not wish to be understood as criticising the board. Any time I can be of service, com- ABOUT GOOD ROADS OF COMMERCE HAS THEIM SIGNATURES pointed to Interview Linebarger on County Report—Letter From Vendor Showing Expenditures Wants to Get Married directors of the chamber was held on Monday Messrs.

Yours very respectfully, Cal. D. Lester, County Auditor. From the letter of the auditor, it would seem to be a hopeless task to get the desired information. Your committee asked the supervisor to have the Placentia road south from the end of Center street through the district put in good condition and oiled. He said he would do this as soon as possible by grading it this winter and after it had been set tled by rain, oil it. Mills, H. V. Weisel, Committee.

The chamber discussed the matter of floats for the Carnival of Products, and a report was made that Anaheim would be adequately represented. The directors in a lighter vein discussed a letter written by Judge A. Cless of San Diego, written to Mayor Rust and turned over to the chamber of commerce, with the polite objurgation, "After you, My Dear Alphonse" Judge Cless wrote that he had heard of Anaheim, that it was a good town and that he was of opinion he should like to live here If there should happen to be a young lady of means matrimonially inclined he would come here, he said, and do the rest. The letter was not written in the minutes, but Mr. Armstrong said he had forwarded Judge Cless a bunch of Anaheim literature and had received a letter of thanks from him in return. LAND DRAWING Local Residents Make Winning In Oregon Lottery Tom Wilkie and Will Houk have returned from Lakeview, Or., where they went to attend the drawings of a land lottery. Mr. Wilkie drew a thirty-acre tract of land near Lakeview, and Mr. Houk pulled off a ten-acre tract and a building lot. Each paid $200 for a chance in the lottery. There were 14,460 parcels of land, and it is estimated the profits of the promoters exceeded $150,000. Each holder of a ticket in the drawing had his fare paid to Lakeview, as well as $25 for personal expenses. A number were present from various points in Orange county. The trip occupied two weeks. The boys took their tents along and camped at Lakeview during the drawing, local accommodations being taxed to the limit to provide for the two thousand people attending. Mrs. Langenberger—Chestnuts.

JOINT MEETING Litigation Committees of Water Companies In Session The litigation committees of the two valley water companies met on Thursday at the office of the Anaheim Union Water company in this city, and discussed in executive session subjects of importance to local irrigators. There were present as representatives of the Santa Ana valley irrigation company George Derker, Albert Finley, D. C. Drake and Fred Rohrs. Representatives of the local company were Wm. Crowther, H. H. Hale, A. S. Bradford, Wm. McLauchlin and G.W. Sherwood. Attorneys Keech and Melrose were present. After adjournment a meeting of directors of the River Development company was held. Development work up the river was discussed, but no final action taken pending the result of the annual election for directors of the Santa Ana company, which occurs next week. At the latter place a fight is on against further development in River canyon. The opposition favors the installation of a number of pumping plants in the lower river bed, but it is not thought likely the present policy of the company will be upset. N. Hart—Peaches, white figs.
