PROVISIONS OF THE ACT UNDER WHICH SANTA ANA DESIRES TO ESTABLISH A HIGH SCHOOL AND THE COUNTY'S EXPENSE. Below will be found the Legislative act providing for the formation of county high schools. The voters of this county will be called upon, on the 29th of this month, to say whether they desire to establish one at Santa Ana or not, they to pay all the expenses its maintenance. The reader will bear mind, meanwhile, that we have but one high school scholar on this side of the river. Read the law, talk to your neighbor about it, and vote against the proposition. Santa Ana should support its own high school and we should have one in our midst, where the proper time shall arrive, but we do not care to support one at Santa Ana. The law is as follows: Section 1. There may be established in any county in the State one or more County High Schools; provided, that at any general or special election, held in such county after the passage of this Act, the majority of votes cast at such election shall be in favor of establishing and maintaining such County High School, or schools, at the expense of the county. Section 2. The Board of Supervisors shall, any general election to be held in any county after the passage of this Act, and upon the petition of fifty or more qualified electors and taxpayers of said county, they must submit the question to the qualified electors establishing a County High School. This may, in their discretion, call a special election for such purpose upon the petition of at least fifty qualified electors of such county. Said election shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by law for conducting elections. The baltics at such election shall contain the words "For County High School;" and the voter may write or print thereafter on the ballot the word "Yes." BELL, - - Manager. Books in Orange County.

At the big fire at Los Gatos the heroes rallied in force, and the deeds of courageous daring done on that occasion will live in the memory of the Los Gatos man so long as reason shall hold a seat in his "distracted globe." To-day at the firesides—this is stretching a point, for the firesides are not really doing much of a business in this hot weather—the story is told with bated breath of how the brave Los Gatos men rushed pell-mell for the burning mass in order to save life or property, and how the wives and daughters and mothers of them sought to hold them back by frantically grabbing at their arms and legs. And one name in the heroic band stands out in dazzling relief, and when the scroll of fame shall be taken down to be revarnished then the name of Bob Baker will be written at the top in letters a foot long. Bob is the captain of the Los Glatos baseball team and a member of the Native Sons. He is also as handsome as a picture and a stutterer from Sutterville. The latter accomplishment stood him in good stead at the big blaze, as the reader will presently see. The fire was but an "incipient conflagration," as the fresh news man has it, when Bob ran frantically for the ladder which was raised against McMurtry's building. In that building was the lodgeroom of five societies, and there reposed the beautiful silk banner of the Native Sons, that cost $500. One foot was on the lower rung of the ladder when he turned and addressed the crowd: "Fuf-fuf-friends and fuf-fuf-fellow citizens," I pro-pro-promise to rescue that b-b-banner or d-d-l-d-d-die in the attempt." He turned and placed the other foot on the rung. Five minutes had elapsed and the fire threatened to envelop the entire structure. "Don't go, Bob," said a tremulous voice, "you are risking your life." Bob turned and faced the crowd once more, a look of dauntless resolve on his clear-cut, handmade countenance. "Do-do-do-do--don't m--m--misunder-at--stand me," he heroically exclaimed. "I said I pro-pre-proposed to get that bub-bub-bub-banner or d-d-d-die in the attempt, and that's what I mum-mum-mum-mean, and-d-d-d-don't you fuf-fuf-fuf-forgot it." He turned again. Ten minutes had gone since he began to speak and the building was now a mass of flames. "For Heaven's sake, don't go, Bob," implored his friends. Again he turned his pale, courageous face to the crowd below him, and there was the expression of a martyr in his deep set eyes as he responded: "It no use, fuf-fuf-friends, for you kuk-kuk-kuk-can't dismise me. My mum-mum-mum-is fuf-fuf-fixed. I'm Sec. 2. The Board of Supervisors shall have any general election to be held in any county after the passage of this Act, and upon the petition of fifty or more qualified electors and taxpayers of said county, they must submit the question to the qualified electors establishing a County High School. The may, in their discretion, call a special election for such purpose upon the petition of at least fifty qualified electors of such county. Said election shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by law for conducting elections. The ballets at such election shall contain the words "For County High School;" and the voter may write or print thereafter on the ballot the word "Yes." Sec. 3. If the majority of all the votes cast are in the affirmative, it shall be duty of the Board of Supervisors, with thirty (30) days after canvassing said vote to locate the school in some suitable and convenient place in said county. The Board of Supervisors shall also estimate the cost of purchasing a suitable lot, erecting a building and furnishing the same, and the cost of running said school for the following twelve (12) months. Said tax shall be computed, etered on the tax roll, and collected in the same manner as other taxes are computed entered, and collected, and the amount collected shall be deposited in the County Treasury, and be known and designated by the County High School Fund, and shall drawn from the Treasury as other money appropriated are drawn. Sec. 5. When the Board of Supervisors shall have properly provided and completed the building, together with the necessary fencing of the lot so purchased, they cause the same to be deeded to the County Board of Education, who shall hold the same in trust for the county. Sec. 6. It shall be the duty of the County Board of Education to furnish to the Board of Supervisors annually an estimate of the amount of money needed to pay all necessary expenses of running said school; to adopt necessary text-books (the State series) should be used in grades and classes for which they are adapted); to adopt and enforce a course of study for said school; to employ suitable teachers, janitors, and other employees, and discharge such employees when deemed advisable by them; and to do any and all other things necessary to proper conduct of their school. The course of study shall be served as will, when it is completed by the student fit him for admission to the University of California. Sec. 7. It shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors to include in their annual report levy the amount estimated by the County Board of Education as needed to pay all expenses of conducting the County High School; and such amount, when collected and paid into the County Treasury, shall known as the "County High School Fund" and may be drawn therefrom in the following manner; for the purpose of defraying expenses of conducting said County High School: The County Board of Education shall draw their order on the County Superintendent of Schools, in the manner as form provided by law for School District Trustees drawing orders on their District POSITIVELY HOME-GROWN!

FRED CRIST A Washington special says that a man who talked with Conger of Ohio, a member of the National Republican Committee, is authority for the statement that Blaine's health permitting, he will be "in the hands of his friends" when the nominating convention meets in 1892. He says: "Conger broached the subject to Blaine, who seemed rather indisposed to talk about it at all. Conger dwelt at length upon the steadfastness of Blaine's friends, recalled the numerous instances of their faithful adherence to him under any and all circumstances, and said that his (Blaine's) friends ought to have something to say. The Republicans generally wished to see him President, and victory with any other man as nominee was uncertain. Blaine showed great feeling when Conger dilated on the faithful service of his friends, and said he had every disposition to serve them, and the Republican party, too, and would not decline the nomination in advance. Whether he would take the nomination, I do not know, but this much I can say, namely, that Conger says Blaine will accept it, and so believe all of Blaine's friends."

"I said I pro—proposed to get that bub—bub—bub—banner or d—d—die in the attempt, and that's what I mum—mum—mum—mean, and—d—d—don't you fuf—fuf—fuf—forget it." He turned again. Ten minutes had gone since he began to speak and the building was now a mass of flames. "For Heaven's sake, don't go, Bob," implored his friends. Again he turned his pale, courageous face to the crowd below him, and there was the expression of a martyr in his deep set eyes as he responded: "It's no use, fuf—fuf—friends, for you kuk—kuk—kuk can't dissuade me. My mum—mum—and mind is fuf—fuf—fixed. I'm going to get that bub—bub—banner or—bub—bub—bub—burn in the attempt." For the last time he turned from the crowd to the threatened building. But the building was no longer there. It had burned down. —San Jose Herald. Sec. 7. It shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors to include in their annual report the amount estimated by the County Board of Education as needed to pay the expenses of conducting the County High School; and such amount, when collected and paid into the County Treasury, shall known as the "County High School Fund," and may be drawn therefrom in the following manner, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of conducting said County High School: The County Board of Education shall draw their order on the County Superintendent of Schools, in the manner as form provided by law for School District Trustees drawing orders on their District School Funds, and the County Superintendent shall draw his requisition on the Aditor, who shall draw his warrant on the County Treasurer in favor of the persons to whom the amount called for such requisition is due. All orders, requisitions, and warrants drawn on the "County High School Fund," in all other respects except as specified in this Act shall be subject to the law governing school districts. Sec. 8. In case the qualified electors any county deem it expedient to establish and maintain more than one County High School, then such additional school or school may be established and maintained in the manner prescribed in this Act for establishing and maintaining a County High School. Sec. 9. All High Schools shall be open to the admission of graduates holding diplomas from the County Grammar Schools of county, and to all pupils of the county which can pass the examination for admission. The examination for admission shall be conducted by the County Board of Education and Principal of the County High School. Sec. 10. This Act shall take effect first and after its passage.

Be found the Legislative act the formation of county high voters of this county will be on the 29th of this month, to say desire to establish one at Santa key to pay all the expenses of the. The reader will bear in file, that we have but one higher on this side of the river. talk to your neighbor about against the proposition.

High the voter may write or print the ballot the word "Yes" or of Orange county; it has gone up, to put the case in a nutshell, so to say. It seems to Taxpayer that the city of Santa Ana with a population of about 5,000 inhabitants would find its City High School a very expensive elephant on its hand. The fact is any city of only 5,000 inhabitants, and even double that, is hardly able to load itself with such expense, without it being very oppressive on the taxpayers. So, in order to get over the difficulty, the city of Santa Ana is perfectly willing to saddle the burden on the county. Much more so, as it is sure enough that the County High School will be located in Santa Ana, and there will be no need than for the Santa Ana high school. Santa Ana will be the only beneficiary by the transaction. All other taxpayers in the county will have to pungle up every year from $12,000 to $15,000 for the great satisfaction of having transformed the name of the Santa Ana High School to Orange County High School. It is very shrewd, and shows good local intellect for Santa Ana to first put its local burden on the county and cause its own taxpayers; then, when such has been perfected, come out with the demands for courthouse, peehouse, etc. It further shows good judgment for those who originated this scheme to have a special election ordered, as the vote is almost always very light on special elections. Considering, therefore, the vote in the county precincts will be a light one, while of course the city of Santa Ana will turn out to a man to vote for it, we may consider it already a foregone conclusion that we will have an Orange County High School, and an increase in the county tax levy for 1892 of 15 to 25 cents per $100, and every year thereafter. What can the people do, and how can they protect themselves? Only by electing good and fully capable men to office. The Orange county taxpayers' protection in this case lays with the Board of Supervisors. The members outside of Santa Ana ought to have smelt a niggar in the woodpile (1) by the petition for a special election and (2) considering the season it was requested. It would be interesting to taxpayers all over the county if the members of the board (that is, outside of Santa Ana) would explain the reason of their action in this matter. IRRIGATION REPORT. ENGINEER HALL PASSES UPON THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF COLUSA FAVORABLY. An arrangement was recently entered into by the State Irrigation Association whereby the various districts organized under the Wright law are to be examined as to their practical feasibility by ex-State Engineer William Ham Hall and as to their legal foundation by Messrs. Wilson & Wilson, the wall-known firm of San Francisco. The Central district of Colusa county was the first to make application for this examination, and the result is shown in a pamphlet just issued containing the reports made by the parties mentioned. Engineer Hall goes very minutely into the details. He finds that there is an abundance of water available for the canal system, unincumbered by prior appropriations, riparian right claims and other entanglements. A large part of Engineer Hall's report is devoted to the question of cost. He finds that an outlay of $955,000 will be needed to complete the work as proposed. This is somewhat larger than had been calculated at the outset, but the increase is caused by the exhorbitant charges made for rights of way, in some cases over $200 an acre having been demanded and awarded. This extra cost is accountable for over $255,000. There are 156,559 acres included within the district, of which 140,-000 are now under cultivation for cereals. The cost will be a little over $6 an acre, Mr. Hall sums up his conclusions as follows: "In my opinion and for reasons already given the present marketable value of the lands in this district, without irrigation is much in excess of any bonded debt necessary or proposed to be placed on it for purposes of irrigation construction. This is a favorable area for irrigation enterprise and one suitable to be embraced in an irrigation district. Irrigation industry should exceed in this district. The lands should be at least doubled in value as the effect of it in a very few years. The property pledged under Board of Supervisors shall, at election to be held in any county age of this Act, and upon the city or more qualified electors of said county, they must subpoena the qualified electors of County High School. They dissertation, call a special electorship upon the petition of at least one elector of such county. shall be conducted in the manu- bility by law for conducting elec- ballists at such election shall words "For County.

What can the people do, and how can they protect themselves? Only by electing good and fully capable men to office. The Orange county taxpayers' protection in this case lays with the Board of Supervisors. The members outside of Santa Ana ought to have a nigger in the woodpile (1) by the petition for a special election and (2) considering the season it was requested. It would be interesting to taxpayers all over the county if the members of the board (that is, outside of Santa Ana) would explain the reason of their action in this matter. They are the guardians and judges for the people in such cases, and Taxpayer thinks that they act sadly deficient if they do not carefully investigate all schemes, no matter what powerful local pressure is behind them. To Taxpayer it appears that what we call soft soap was applied to the outside members of the board. What the future will have in store for taxpayers of Orange county, will be: County high school, $50,000 to $75,000; courthouse and jail, $200,000 to $250,000; county hospital, $30,000 to $75,000; county poorhouse, $30,000 to $50,000. And roads consisting of a continuous line of chuckholes. TAXPAYER. New Faces for the Colonies. There is every possibility that the new design for Uncle Sam's subsidiary coins will be made by Engraver Charles E. Barber of the Philadelphia Mint. Mr. Barber is now working upon designs for new halves, quarters and dimes, and new designs may be forthcoming for all the coins in circulation. Some time ago the late Secretary of the Treasury Windom offered $500 to the artist who submitted the heat design for the coins of United States. Over 400 designs were submitted to the three judges appointed by the Secretary. The jury were: Henry Mitchell, a seal engraver of New York; August St. Gauden, Boston's famous sculptor, and Charles E. Barber of the Philadelphia Mint. Not one of these designs were acceptable. The new Secretary of the Treasury decided not to abandon the project of securing a new and better design for the coins of the United States, and Mr. Barber was instructed to prepare a set of designs to be submitted to Secretary Foster and Director of the Mint E. O. Leech for approval. In speaking on the subject last week Barber said: "We will make new designs for halves, quarters and dimes first. If they are better than the present designs they may be adopted. It is by no means assured, however, that change will be made at once, but it is certain that no change will be made until a design is secured that excels in every way. The difficulty with nearly all the designs submitted by the competitors for the $500 prize was the fact that they could not be utilized. The designs must be of such a character that every impression will be clear and distinct." The Emperor as an After-Dinner Spenker. As an after-dinner speaker the Emperor has no superior in Germany. He speaks readily without notes, expresses himself with vigor, never descends to conventional commonplaces, and above all gives very best assurance that his words are not prepared for him. I have heard conspicuous speakers in England and in our own country, and if comparisons are not in this case insidious, I should say that the German Emperor need not fear to meet such an audience as even a New England society dinner as Mr. Hall sums up his conclusions as follows: "In my opinion and for reasons already given the present marketable value of the lands in this district, without irrigation is much in excess of any bonded debt necessary or proposed to be placed on it for purposes of irrigation construction. This is a favorable area for irrigation enterprise and one suitable to be embraced in an irrigation district. Irrigation industry should exceed in this district. The lands should be at least doubled in value as the effect of it in a very few years. The property pledged under the law is ample, and with a large margin in this case as security for a bonded debt of $1,000,000 on the district, which is all there is any necessity for placing on it, for purposes of its irrigation enterprise. The engineering scheme, while great and extensive, is a simple and only a moderately expensive one. It can be made to succeed within the limit of cost which the lands of this district can well afford to pay for irrigation. The water supply available for this district is all-sufficient for it. There are no conflicting water claims likely to bring it into trouble or cause it additional expense. The conditions generally, are favorable to that social and business result of irrigation in this district which should tend to make it a good creditor." Messrs. Wilson & Wilson's opinion is very brief. They say, in the language of the Supreme Court: "There can no longer be any question that the Wright act is constitutional;" that the Supreme Court itself passed upon the regularity of the proceedings including the bond issue; that if the present issue of bonds is not enough to complete the work an additional issue would be legal, and, in any event, it is the duty of the directors to push the work by a direct assessment if no other means are provided. The two reports are complete in their favorable judgment of the Central district, and ought to be a conclusive answer to any and all objections that can be or have been urged. He was a Common Farmer. It was ladies' day at the Rochester yacht club, and as one of the yachts was on its way out of the river toward the lake one of yachtsmen noticed a man of distinctly agricultural appearance lolling on the pier, and apparently watching the yachts with the curious eyes of a man who had never seen anything in the boat lion other than a canal boat. "See that farmer over there?" said one of the sailors. "I'll bet he never saw a yacht before. Let's take the jay out and have some fun with him." The rest of the crew assisted and the captain called out: "Say, farmer, want to go out for a ride!" "Wal, I dunno. Ain't goin' out fur, be ye!" "Oh no; only going out for a little sail. There's no danger." "Wal bighos, if ye ain't goin' out fur I'll just haw't ter go ye." And he climbed awkwardly aboard, sat down in the cock-pit, and looked around curiously. The breccia was fresh and the yacht bowled along merrily. The farmer had nothing to say, and after vainly trying to kid him and finding that he was not to be kidded by yachtsmen left him alone to enjoy the sail. After being out for a short time a squall came up and on this particular yacht, before a mainail halyard sauwed and it looked for a moment as if the boat was going over. There were a dozen orders given, but before any of them could be executed the farmer The Emperor as an After-Dinner Speaker. As an after-dinner speaker the Emperor has no superior in Germany. He speaks readily without notes, expresses himself with vigor, never descends to conventional places, and above all, gives the very best assurance that his words are not prepared for him. I have heard conspicuous speakers in England and in our own country, and if comparisons are not in this case invidious, I should say that the German Emperor need not learn to meet such an audience as even a New England society dinner assembles. One of the prettiest speeches I have listened to was delivered by the Emperor in answering the toast to his wife in the province where she was born. It was during the great combined naval and military maneuvers of 1890, at which the United States was represented by Commander Ward and Great Britain by Admiral Hornyb. The Emperor's words were: "I desire to express to you, my dearest sir, the gratitude felt by the Empress and myself for the kind words we have just heard; at the same time our thanks to the whole for the day we have passed and for the reception which the province has prepared for us. This day was, however, not needed to assure us of the warm friendship we have found here. The bond that unites me to her in a manner different from all others of my empire, is the jewel that sparkles at my side, her Majesty, the Empress. Spring from this soil, the type of the various virtues of a German princess, it is to her that I owe if I am able to meet the severe laborers of my office with a happy spirit, and make head against them." The words of the Emperor were unexpected, and to no one more so than his wife, whose face beamed with happiness at the compliment she so publicly received. Nor did any one who listened to the speaker at that dinner think to question the spontaneity and honesty of the language. The Parent of Insomnia. The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathizes. One of the prominent symptoms of a weak state of the gastric organs is a disturbance of the great nerve entrapment, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great center. A most reliable medicine for this purpose is Hentett's diuretics, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful carotines which, though they may for a time exert a soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity to the operations of that all important organ, and their beneficial influence is reflected in sound sleep and a tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of the liver and bowels by its use. The Emperor as an After-Dinner Speaker. As an after-dinner speaker the Emperor has no superior in Germany.

It is calculated that 60,000 people begin their labors after dark and their numbers are being constantly increased. The hotels and restaurants employ the greatest number about 10,000 being necessary to supply the city's wants in this direction. The bakers come next on the list, and that the sleeping portion of the city may have its hot rolls and fresh bread far for coming day, 7,000 people are laboring. The saloon-keepers and their assistants number the same as the bakers. The butchers are 3,000 strong, and the gardeners and marketmen are equally numerous. The steamboatmen and sailors, the livermen and hack-drivers and the milkmen are 7,500 in number. The surface care need 2,000 men and the elevated roads 1,500. There are 2,000 engineers and firemen, 1,000 district messenger-boys, 1,000 printers and 1,000 men in the Fire Department. The different telegraph offices employ 700 men, and the journalists Postoffice clerks and Custom-house inspectors number each about 400. There are 3,000 men in the Police Department, and just one-half of these patrolthe streets every night. Then there are private watchmen, laborers, fruit vendors, etc., and the number is estimated at 10,000. Only for these night workersthe lite and well beingofthe city would be sadly incomplete.
