The Board of Directors of the A.U.W.Co.met in regular session on the above date, with all members present except Bradford and Porter.The minutes of the preceding regular meeting were read and approved. The report of the finance committee was received and filed and warrants were ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein contained.The reports of the superintendent,treasurer and secretary were each in turn received and filed. Applications from F.W.Fleischmann,G.A.Ruddock and G.W.Sherwood for the purchase of cement-pipe and cement were each on motion referred to the superintendent. A communication dated March 27 was received from the Amalgamated Oil company, to whom Wm.Loftus assigned his lease for development of oil on the 400 acre tract of the A.U.W.Co.,known as the La Habra reservoir site.The letter advised that drilling had been discontinued on the first well at a depth of 3353 feet,and giving the log of the well since their last report of November 5th.The well showed some gas and had all the earmarks of being a good producer.Tubing and rods were installed and the well put to pumping on the 25th inst.,and at the time of writing of the letter the production of oil was reported to be approximately 600 barrels per day.The oil tested 16 1-2 gravility at 60 Fah.Preparations were being made to commence drilling additional wells on the property,and also to install a pipe line to the railroad or a pipe-line connection.Until sufficient tankage could be provided the well would be allowed to HAD TO WASH HIS FEET Orange Wife Stampedes — Don't Blame Her Not taking kindly to the biblical washing of feet, Mrs. Emeline D. Poole of Orange, alleges in her list of grievances against her husband, William D. Poole, that each night for many months, she has washed and wiped his feet. She did so because she feared abuse if she refused. Her husband's demand for this nightly act, which while it was humiliating to her may have been of comfort to him, is cited as one of his acts of cruelty. Mrs. Poole brought suit for separate maintenance against Poole, who lives at Orange. Her complaint states that before she married him at Manhattan, Ka., in 1904, Poole agreed that he would make some provision so that should he die, Mrs. Poole's children would be assured of support and education, until they became of age. The woman was a widow, and the promise to provide for the children was one of the promises that caused her to consent to marrying. Beside the frequent foot-washing occurrence, Mrs. Poole alleges, that her husband has been cruel in that he has failed to provide her with any "pin" money. So penurious has he been that she often had nothing with which to buy stamps, she alleges. She says that last February there was a visitor at the house, and, to provide bed-clothing, she had to take some from her son's bed. She spread Mr. Poole's overcoat over the boy. Poole later demanded his overcoat, and after his wife went to the son's bed to get it, he broke out in loud abuse, so that the visitor heard him. MRS. BECH-MEYER DEAD Passed Away Tuesday Evening After Year's Illness Mrs. Nico Bech-Meyer died Tuesday evening at 7:45 at her home on South street in this city of Bright's cer. Tubing and rods were installed and the well put to pumping on the 25th inst., and at the time of writing of the letter the production of oil was reported to be approximately 600 barrels per day. The oil tested 16 1-2 gravility at 60 Fah. Preparations were being made to commence drilling additional wells on the property, and also to install a pipe line to the railroad or a pipe-line connection. Until sufficient tankage could be provided the well would be allowed to produce into sump holes. The oil company wished to be advised regarding the disposition of the royalty oil, and also wished to discuss the matter of drilling additional wells in the basin of the reservoir, as their lease prohibits them from drilling in the basin of the reservoir as long as it is held as such, for the future storage of water. The matters were referred to the finance committee for investigation and report to the board at a special meeting if necessary. Each director was instructed to investigate matters also as much as possible. A communication of the Amalgamated Oil company dated March 31, stated that tankage would be erected within thirty days, when the production of oil could be gauged accurately and asking that the clause in the lease requiring monthly statements of production be waived until the tanks are erected. A resolution was passed waiving the above conditions for the present month. Communications of I. N. Glover and Mrs. L. Regan complaining of damage by waste water were referred to the superintendent for full investigation, and he was instructed to report of same to the board. The president and secretary were authorized to sign agreements on behalf of the company, with the Bastanchury Ranch Co., and Thos. Strain et al., regarding construction of ditches on their respective properties. On motion of Hale, seconded by Drake, Director Dwyer was appointed to take the place of ex-director McLaughlin on the ditch committee. Applications for transfers of stock were on motion granted. On motion the meeting adjourned. H. S. Armstrong, Secretary. FULLERTON Business men of Fullerton have effected the permanent organization of the Fullerton club and elected the following board of directors for the ensuing year: Gus Stern, E. C.Hitchcock, W. H.

BECH-MEYER DEAD Passed Away Tuesday Evening After Year's Illness Mrs. Nico Bech-Meyer died Tuesday evening at 7:45 at her home on South street in this city of Bright's disease. Deceased had been in poor health the past year, but was only confined to her bed a week. She was 53 years old; was born in Denmark, came to the United States 26 years ago, and for many years was a teacher in the high schools of California, and was well known by the leading educators of the state. The husband and three children, two daughters and one son, are left to mourn her departure. The children are Christian Bech-Meyer of Burbank, Anna Bech-Meyer of Anaheim and Mrs. Carla Boxall, of Berkeley, Cal., all of whom were present during her last illness. The remains were shipped to Los Angeles Wednesday for cremation. A decree of distribution signed by a Los Angeles judge was recorded on Tuesday in the estate of Isabel Keating Smith, which estate is valued at $275,000. By the decree the estate goes to six heirs. Nearly all of the property lies in Los Angeles county. In this county there is a tract of land touching the ocean near San Juan Capistrano. Watch, clock and jewelry repairing.

This is commonly known as the grub-stake law, and each owns a half interest in any land so obtained from the government. There is no good reason why this principle should not apply to land taken up under the homestead law, and a bill embodying this idea is now before congress. If congress should pass this bill it would give an opportunity for labor and capital to work together in the matter of taking up public land, one person furnishing the necessary money to properly improve and go through with the homestead and the other furnishing the necessary work and residing on the claim. This would provide a means for very many worthy people to acquire homes who have no hopes of getting homes of their own under the present public land laws.

STEERING DEAD ONE President Wilson of the associated chambers of commerce appointed a "steering" committee with Dr. Dobson of Santa Ana as chairman for the good roads bonds. Nothing else was heard of the proposition, save it be the death rattle in its throat, at the meeting. The duties of the doctor's committee will be somewhat "solom-colly," as that death rattle was quite audible at the meeting last Wednesday night, and the only function left for this committee will be the steering of a dead one. Our fellow-townsman, Henry Adams, is to be one of the functionaries at this mournful occasion. PERNICIOUS In the third and fourth supervisorial districts in the north end of the county there are but 43.02 miles of the proposed paved roads, while in the second and fifth districts in the south end of the county there are 73.14 miles, or an increase of nearly 70 per cent. Likewise there are two bridges in the south end with only one in the north or an increase of 100 per cent for the south. This may be only a happenstance but on the face of the returns it looks like viciousness. GREATEST GOOD TO GREATEST NUMBER Generally speaking the greatest good to the greatest number is supposed to govern in the placing of roads. Now in the two north districts there are 3851 voters while in the two south districts there are but 2615 or an increase of 47 per cent for the north. Had the greatest good rule been followed then the north end should have received 69.14 miles while the south would have received but 47.02 miles.

Another run in the last inning on a hit, a stolen base and an error gave them the game by a top-heavy score of 5 to 1. The feature of the game was the pitching of Eddie Haight who held the formerly hard-hitting locals to four hits and retiring nine by the strike-out route. Hanse in left field showed up like a big leaguer in the fourth inning when he robbed Schnelder of a hit by a running one-handed catch behind shortstop and jumping in the air and pulling down Bowen's line drive which looked good for a couple of bases. Boylan in rightfield accepted three high fly balls, which shows the locals hit the ball hard, but had no luck in getting safe ones. Mr. Tilley of Los Angeles umpired the game, and outside of a few rattle-headed decisions, no doubt due to a case of stage-fright, on balls and strikes, was satisfactory. On next Friday night the boys will give a social dance, the proceeds to be used for new stockings and caps. Here, all you loyal fans turn out, and help the boys along. Next Sunday for the first time in many months the Santa Ana team will play on the Anaheim diamond. The Moneta Merchants were scheduled for this date, but report that the team is in a crippled condition, consequently the Santa Ana boys have been substituted. The score: ANAHEIM AB R BH PO A E F.

Meanwhile the county surveyor is laying out an 80-foot ocean boulevard from Bay City to Balboa and this $600,000 would fit nicely on such a boulevard. "Verily our cup is full."

The 5-foot New Standard Mower weighs 825 pounds. The entire weight of the cutting bar (while cutting) is transferred through the suspension spring to the main wheels. The bar is neither pulled or pushed—it is carried—an exclusive Standard feature. The power thus secured is transferred to the gearing through the mechanically perfect wheels, found only on the New Standard Mower. The gearing develops high speed without undue strain and passes the power to the knife. The knife works in our famous Curved Cutter Bar—straight when lowered—the only frictionless knife channel made.
