and Joseph Carmona. This Is considered a
Drain delegation. The name of Mr.. Brown
was subjected to considerable scratching,
owing, 1t Is said, to his officious actions
as central committeeman for that precinct.
The Eighteenth precinct caucus which
met In the city hall, enjoyed several slight
diversions. One was in the election of
chairman, g. J. Griffith being finally
chosen. f. ]. zeehandelaar demanded the
right to vote, but as his name did not ap-
pear on the register for that district and
he could not show a transfer slip he was
ruled out after a lively discussion in which
the crowd took part. Two tickets were in
the field. the following being elected: Dr.
E. M Palette, Fred w. Fisher, George
Gardner, c. B. Story and James G. Hale.
The usually stormy Twenty-frst held a
sort of love feast, only ten names being
presented. The names Of those elected are
as follows: ]. H. Keifer, James Kerr, ]. j.
Howell, J. H. Krimminger, w. H. Welch
James Faulkner Charles w. Sexton, c.
B. Mallory. An attempt will be made to
elect ]. w. Meyers, one of the defeated
candidates, at the primaries.
Although there was but one ticket In the
Twenty-fourth precinct, 1t is highly prob
able that at the primaries the ubiquitous
Mr.. Carlisle, who is making D. w. Fields
fight for councilman, will try to turn the
tables. Mr.. Vetter's home precinct. how
ever, VIII, In all probability, stand by him.
The caucus ticket is made up as follows:
Fred M. Smith, Ed A. Heinzeman, N. Bon
flio, J. II. Seymour, M. D. j. Baum, c. B.
johnson, DR.. Shumway.
Down In the Fifty-third precinct, Eighth
ward, the doors of the meeting place, for
some reason or another, were not and could
not be opened; whereat Committeeman
McNeill said he did not see much use of
holding a caucus anyhow, and walked
away. The rest of the boys, to the num-
Der Of nine, called themselves to order and
elected their ticket.
Throughout the Ninth ward resolutions
were passed reciting the bad faith of the
Los Angeles Railway company in securing
a franchise for road along Brooklyn
avenue and failing to build, and pledging
the Ninth ward nominee for councilman
to use his influence in bringing about a
termination of the franchise
The primaries will be held tomorrow aft
ernoon, and the probabilities are that, ex-
cept tn the few precincts above mentioned,
the caucus tickets will go through without
opposition.

IRRIGATIONISTS
The Law as to Levying Assessments.
Gardner's Advice

ORANGE. Oct. 5,-During yesterday
afternoons session of the Santa Ana Val
ley Irrigation company Henry f. Gardner,
a well-knOWn authority, was requested 10
address the meeting and entered strohe
plea for the development of more water.
He believed that three heads more water
during the summer would add some $500O0
to the natural products of this valley. he
favored either sinking wells near the head
of the ditch OF capturing the unuerHoW
which is almost limitless under the santa
Ana river.
Those placed in nomination for directors
were the old board consisting OF w. u.
Mcpherson, ]. S. Rice, NJ Nilsson, Marshal
Northcross and S. Armor. Fred Le1fers
was also placed in nomination. The ballots
were referred to the canvassing board,
which will report to the adjourned meet
ing, which will be held at 10 o'clock on Sat
urday morning.
Heretofore it has been the practice for
the directors of the company to levy an an
nual assessment of so cents per share upon
the capital stock of the company, and 1T has
been regarded as the privilege OF the Stock
holoders to levy a larger assessment II
they saw fit. The companys attorney gives
an opinion that overthrows all its previous
practice and opinions with regard to the
raising Of revenue for the Improvement of
its bitches. The attorney says that there
Is no provision of law allowing stockhold-
ers to levy an assessment; that section 3Sl
of the civil code confers such power upon
the directors and that section 332 or the
same code reads: mo one assessment
must exceed 10 per cent of the amount of
the capital stock" He is of the opinion
that the usual 10 per cent levy by the direc-
tors is all that can be made; but instead
of being upon the subscribed stock, 1t may
be upon the whole 100000 capital stock
named in the articles of incorporation. 1t
Is understood that this would raise the an
nual amount paid by stockholders from
80 cents to 70 cents per share.

The second day of the fall race NEE ting
at Agricultural park was marked by a
largely increased attendance and excellent
racing. The 2:10 trot, which opened the
card of the day, was the fast for four
consecutive heats that has ever been trot-
ted on California track. In fact, the
record for even one heat in trotting race
is but shade better than the 2:10 made
yesterday. The last running race of the
day was record breaker, being made in
1:40 fiat.
AS on the opening day, yesterday was a
bad day for favorites. and consequently
for the book-makers. Only two Of the
picked ones won In the FIVE events.
The track was fast and the weather ex-
cellent, there being no cold wind to catch
the heated horses after exercise or race.
For the sprinters the track was terribly
hard, but better time was made over it
than on Tuesday. 1t is impossible to put
track in proper condition for both har-
ness and running racing. and notwithstand-
