Anaheim Armory Step Nearer Completion of basic plans for more than 100 California National Guard Armories has been announced by State Adjutant General Curtis D. O'Sullivan. The announcement brought a step nearer to reality the single unit armory for Anaheim. O'Sullivan explained each community is providing the site,either by municipal donation or by some other plan such as locating the building on District or county fair property. Other armories scheduled for Orange county include Orange, Fullerton, and a two unit build. LOOKING BACKWARD By C. E. HOLCOMB ANAHEIM UNION WATER CO. Extracts taken from a report of Wm. Ham Hall, State Engineer to Governor R. W. Waterman, Sacramento, October 1, 1888. Anaheim Old Canal formerly commenced at points from a half to three-parters of a mile within the lower opening of the Santa Ana canon or pass and carried its waters west, nearly parallel with the river for about four miles, and continued nearly west over four miles further and beyond where the river turns southwest around Burruel point. No head gate was ever constructed for this work, because of the very unstable character of the river, which here spreads out in a broad bed of quicksand, over a thousand feet wide, and with no defined banks whatever to guide it. The canal itself, located, for the most part, over coarse, sandy land, had a cross-sectional waterway of about twelve square feet and grades of thirteen to fifteen feet per mile for the first four miles, and sixteen to eighteen feet per mile for the second four miles, placed upon the slope of the country without drops. Its banks were protected on each sire by willows, whose roots had formed a compact matting on bottom and sides, resisting the erosion which must otherwise have occurred in a ditch of its grade and occasional volume through a soil so readily movable. But this did not prevent very great loss of water by percolation, and, of course, the willows themselves appropriated no inconsiderable part of the supply. The sand brought down by the water into the ditch was a constant source. The head gate and dam was moved in the summer 1887 to a point 1000 feet down the stream, at the end of the California Central road Company, to permit excavate in the blue mud formed one bank of the stream and occupy for a short period around the point the gravel which the canal was low. This work was done under direction of the canal mason who were given "carter" by the railroad company; the work permanently enough to suit them, and limit as to cost. The was $3,000.00. The dam was so strong, however, and directed the river into a gate that flood of the ing winter, the whole current was precipitated against the structure, and undermined and carried by company was then obligedry the canal up to its position outside the railroad and put it a new headage its own expense.

But this did not prevent very great loss of water by percolation, and, of course, the willows themselves appropriated no inconsiderable part of the supply. The sand brought down by the water into the ditch was a constant source of annoyance and expense, actually filling it and the laterals below. Extensive sand gates were placed about two miles from the head, where for several hours each day the sluices were opened and the accumulated sands were washed out into the river channel; but the outfall for this purpue was so slight that the relief was quite insufficient. Such was the condition of affairs in 1878, and in that year also, the water supply failing early in the season at the head of the canal, matters were in a desperate stait for the Anaheim people, and so they purchased a half interest in the Cajon Irrigation Company's ditch (at that time an independent work) and which, heading far up in the canyon, received a more permanent water supply. Connection was then made with this Cajon canal at the point where the latter turns northerly out of the canyon opening, by a flume 6970 feet long, with a fall of 107 feet, into the old ditch over a mile and a half below its former heading, and this upper part of the ditch was maintained for use during time of plenty. Such was the condition examined by the State engineering department in 1879. The Cajon canal occupies about the highest practical grade-line out from Bedrock canyon proper, on the north side of the river. Its course from the head follows the extreme irregularities of hills for nearly eight miles before emerging upon the plain, throughout which distance it is exceedingly tortuous, and has been excavated in hillsides that are frequently very abrupt. The formation is in places sandstone, in others shale, and it passes through all graduations of soil, gravel and soft rock. It crosses many gulches, some of which have been spanned with flumes, in others the drainage is carried across the canal with over chutes, and in others the embankment has been made Main canal is 8 feet bottom for about 10 miles its width is diminished to It is calculated to carry depth of water, with side of 1 to 1. Its grade is 2'100 to 2½ feet per mile; retical capacity almost 3,00es or 60 cubic feet per se. There are some 50 mile tributing ditches, with 13ery and measuring gate first cost of the Cajon ca $103,000.00, of which $ was spent under the orga of the two irrigation formed under the Bush 1874 and the remainder Cajon Irrigation company.

Moraga St. Freeway P The head gate and diverting dam was moved in the summer of 1887 to a point 1000 feet lower down the stream, at the expense of the California Central Railroad Company, to permit the road to excavate in the bluff which formed one bank of the ditch, and occupy for a short distance around the point the ground on which the canal was located. This work was done under the direction of the canal managers, who were given "carte blanche" by the railroad company, to do the work permanently and thoroughly to suit them, and without limit as to cost. The expense was $3,000.00. The dam was made so strong, however, and so well directed the river into the headgate that the flood of the following winter, the whole force of the current was precipitated against the structure, and it was undermined and carried out. The company was then obliged to carry the canal up to its former position outside the railroad bank, and put it a new head gate at its own expense. The structure was completed recently at a cost of about $1,000.00. It is forty feet long, fifteen feet and eight inches wide in the clear, and has four main gates across the opening with three waste or outlet gates on the side immediately above the main gate. (Incidentally, the matter of securing the consent of the A.U.W.Co. to take out their head gate so that the railroad company would cross the Santa Ana River at that point, was a worry to the engineer in charge of the survey. The writer was well acquainted with one member of the survey and he told me how this engineer worried over the matetr. This will be told in a later article relating to the coming of the Santa Fe R.R. to California). Main canal is 8 feet wide on bottom for about 10 miles, when its width is diminished to 6 feet. It is calculated to carry 3 feet depth of water, with side slopes them all over. Don't let them stand around and get cold. Melt ¼ cup butter, margarine or drippings in skillet over moderate heat. Cook potatoes 5 minutes; then turn with broad spatula to brown them all over. To give potatoes the flavor of the meat, put them in with the roast briefly.
