THEY TAKE TOO MUCH WATER.
The East Side Canal Owners Think
the Other Side is Gouging.
\ Third survey Being Made Regarding
the Division of the River Water
A Long Drawn Out Dispute.

There is a morbid jealousy of long
standing existing between the mill own
ers along the east side canal and those
along the one or the west side. The
canals are supposed to be of equal
capacity, and are intended to draw an
equal quantity of water from the river
for the purpose of furnishing power
for each SIDE. As long as there was an
Overplus of water IN the river there was
nothing said or done in regard to the
gates on either side, but when a season
of low water became q certainty IN
every year the men on the East SIDE be-
came possessed of the idea that the West
side canal WAS taking the most water.
About two years ago County Surveyor
Skeels was employed 20 make q survey
of the canals to dctern Inc which bad
the advantage of the other. Mr.. Skccls
made q thorough survey OF the capacity
of the gates, and IN addition TO tins he
determined the difference IN the veloc-
ity of the current IN the two canals.
The latter test requires a great deal
of careful and patient work as
well As considerable ingenuity 20
determine the mean velocity OF
the water at all depths in each gate.
The survey finished, some small adj
Justments were made 10 cqualze the
distribution Of water, but before long
there was another kick, and an expert
from abroad was brought here % cx-
anime the matter. IL spent a day
looking over the situation, and from
his own observations made report
substantially the same rs the county
surveyors. This quoted matters for
timo but when Mr. Sseols was through
with the ship canal survey he was
again employed % examine the canals,
and was stiii engaged In the matter on

The position taken by the objectors
created great interest among all classes
of people, and yesterday, when John
Moore's case came up, the court was
crowded. Ex-senator Ferry, Of Michi-

subsequently expressed surprise at the
fearful expose by witnesses, who were
principally aposate Mormons. The

Alhambra and San GABRIEL.

The Alhambra Bank was formally
opened Monday, March 4th. 1t is neat
little two-story brick block. The capital
stock is 100000. All the stock has been
subscribed. J. M. Elliott is President,
and F. E. Gray Vice-fresident. j. A.
Green is the Cashier, and he will be as
sisted by James McLaren.
The East San Gabriel Herald contains
the following paragraph: 1--WE under
stand, and from good authority, that one
of the directors of the San Gabriel Valley
Land and Water Company has declared
his intention of establishing a bank in
East San Gabriel. The building is to be
a two story brick structure, and the site
selected is just south of the hotel"
The same paper also says: Zone day
last week there were twenty-three people
here looking after locations. Among
them was a blacksmith, merchant, a
lumber man and butcher"
The wagon factory is to be situated
just south of the East San Gabriel de-
pot. At least twenty men will be given
constant employment.
Joseph Jordan, the baker, is building
a bakery of his own, on Garfield avenue,
nearly opposite Page Bros.' livery stable.
There are several new houses being built
on the Stoneman tract, just north of Al
hambra.
Mr.. Gourley sprained his ankle slightly
on Saturday afternoon. His friends are
glad to see him around again.
Mr.. s. ID. Grow expects to go North in
two or three weeks. Most of the dried
fruit that he took East has been sold.
The dance given Thursday evening by
the Alpha Club was grand success. It
was intended as a Washington birthday
celebration, but, as social was arranged
at Mrs. Anderson's for Friday evening,
and as many wished to attend both, the
dance was given on Thursday evening.
The Friday evening social was very
amusing, and greatly enjoyed by ali.
The ladies', dressed in Martha Washing
ton costume, and the gentlemen attired
as George used to dress, gave the affair
the appearance of one hundred years
ago.
The library dedication took place Tues
day afternoon. 1t was opened in its
new quarters in the bank building.
All the grain in this vicinity looks
splendid, and only few small showers
will be required to mature the entire
crop.
Owing to the large number of scholars
attending the Alhambra school, four
teachers are required. Miss +. Chase is
to be the fourth teacher. M.

head, he would do anything told him,
but the moment put the pistol away, he
would return to his old self again. Re-
pentance is not mere feeling, nor is it
remoree, for Judas Iscariot through re-
morse committed suicide, and he was
not repentant. Neither is it penance,
nor a conviction, for many men are con-
vinced that their lives are not as they
should be, yet they are not repentant. !"
WHAT is REPENTANCE?
'It is an afterthought; to change ones
course; to change the mind. A good
example is given in the Scriptures in the
parable of the vineyard-the boy who at
first refused to go there and work for his
father, but afterwards changed his mind
and went-he was repentant. A soldier
was once asked how it was he became q
Christian. He replied: "Christ said to
me, Attention, Haiti Right-about'face-
march, In giving up sin you
must also give up your own thoughts,
for Gods thoughts are not ours, and his
ways are not our ways, and the whole
battle is turns on one hinge-the Will.
1t is very easy to do anything when the
consent of the will is got. Christ prom
ises us abundant pardon If we repent,
and He is here with His pardon now.
Will YOU take it? Look at the enormity
of the sins of this vast congregation, and
yet he is willing to sweep them away II
we will let him."
Mr.. Moody then gave very touching
prayer, after which a general service oil
20 minutes followed, and the proceedings
came to close.
In a subsequent conversation with q
HERALD man, Mr.. Moody said: Il will
be here ten days, but will not give any
services on Saturday. And, by the way
in referring to me in your article, please
do not call me Reverend. l do not claim
that title any more than you do.
An enormous crowd assembled in the
evening to the services at the Pavilion
and it became necessary to close the
doors and refuse admittance. DR.. Can
| tine opened the services with prayer
and after singing prayer was offered by
DR.. Stradley and DR.. Hutchins, and by
Mr.. Moody himself.
Mr.. Moody then read from the twentieth
chapter of Exodus, the ten command
| ments. For his text he chose the word
which were written upon the wall a.
the feast of Belshazzar, "Meue. meme
Tekel Upharsin," Daniel V, %. Ht
applied the expression, Thou ar
weighed in the balance and found want
ing," to his hearers with regard to the
Commandments. After prayer by Mr.
Winslow and more song service, tn'

ONE ON EVERY TRAIN.
Pullman Secures a Victory for Hi
Conductors.

Pullman Secures a Victory for His
Conductors.
The purchase of the tourist cars on the
Southern Pacific by the Pullman Com
pany has led to an innovation in railroad
matters connected with that road. Here
tofore the Southern Pacific has been the
only line on which Pullman conductors
we're not carried, it being the custom to
collect the berth checks either in the
yards or else to send man out for few
miles to gather them in, the official re-
turning to town on the next train. As a
result of this custom, when the first Col.
den Gate special reached Ogden and the
Central Pacific conductor took it in
charge, he ordered the Pullman conduc-
tor, who had been sent to pay especial
attention to the travellers, off the train.
A big row followed, but termi-
mated in Pullman obtaining the right
to have conductor on every
one of the Golden Gate specials, and
now he has obtained the same privilege
on oil the passenger trains carrying Pull
man cars. The excuse has doubtless
been that owing to the accession of the
second-class tourist business, it is i'm
possible to thoroughly attend to the
duties without having a representative
on the cars. The order allowing the
Pullman officials on the trains was issued
by the Southern Pacific on Saturday,
and the new system was started in at
once.

were as follows: Cloudy and calm north
OF Los Angeles; clear at Florence and
Long Beach; cloudy at Santa Monica
and in the Santa Ana and San Fernando

was the report from Spadra, and from

lish among the congregation new re.

Rev. Father Dockery, one of the Pro.
fessors of st. Vincent's College, preached

services yesterday. His subject was "The
necessity of repentance. 1t was almost

ance after life spent in sin
and in the neglect of the sacraments.
The utility of fasting as a source
of modification to the body was also
pointed out by the renowned speaker
The prohibition placed on Adam was oi
this character, and the neglect of Adam
to comply with the prohibition necessi-
tated the death of Christ upon the cross.
The sermon was very practical, and
abounded with happy expressions.
The first of the Lenten sermons at the
Cathedral was heard last evening by a
congregation of unusually large proper
tions. These sermons are to be preached
every evening during Lent by Rev.
A. J. Meyer, the President of
st. Vincent's College. That deliv-
cred by the reverend gentleman
last evening was of remarkable power
and of an unusually high order of elo-
quence. 1t treated, in forcible language,
on the subject of Death. OF the happy
death of a good Christian he preferred
not to speak, for such was the nature of
sin that in order to produce an impress
sion on sinners, it was necessary to hold
the sword of Gods anger and JUS
tice over their heads. In an earn
est and inspired discourse of over
an hours duration, the eloquent preacher
then proceeded to depict the terrible
effects of sin, especially of habitual sin.
on the human soul, and concluded a
most impressive sermon with a vivid
portrayal of the awful death Of the un-
repentant and unforgiven sinner. The
discourse created a profoundly serious
impression in the minds of the congre-
cation.
