Below will be found the law in reference to the formation of union high school districts. This is the law under which it is therintention to establish one or more high schools on this side of the river. But we do not care to support a county high school in Santa Ana. All those communities that are desirous of combining for the purpose of forming a high school at home should vote against the county high school: Section 1. Any city or incorporated town of one thousand five hundred or more in habitants may, by majority vote of the quailied electors thereof, establish and maintain a High School; or two or more adjoinship districts may unite and form a UniHigh School District, for the purpose of etablishing and maintaining a High School therein, at the expense of such city or its corporated town, or Union High School District. Sec. 2. When a majority of the Board of Education in a city or incorporated town having a Board of Education, or a majority of the Trustees of two or more adjoining school districts, shall unite in a petition to the establishment of such High Schools, signed by not less than one hundred resident electors of such city or incorporate town, or school district, it shall be due to the County School Superintendent, with twenty days, to call an election, and appoint the officers to conduct the same, for the dermination of such question. Notices of sucelection, not less than five in such city or in corporated town, and not less than three fife district concerned, shall be posted, one which shall be upon the schoolhouse in each district, at least ten days before said election. Said election shall be conducted in the manuprescribed by law for conducting school elections. The ballots of such elections shall contain the words "For High School," and the voter shall write or print thereafter. EVERY PARTICULAR.

BOEGE, advocate the immediate establishment of a County High School—and seem to take it for granted that such an institution can be put in operation within a few months, after the voters have decided in favor of the measure, in rooms to be given rent free in Santa Ana—to section 3 of the Act, which reads: "The Board of Supervisors shall also estimate the cost of purchasing a suitable lot, erecting a building, and furnishing the same, for the accommodation of such school, together with the cost of conducting such school for the next twelve months," and to section 5, which reads, "When the Board of Supervisors shall have properly provided and completed the building," etc., "they shall cause the same to be deeded to the County-Board of Education, who shall hold the same in trust for the county." It is therefore, imperative that a school be built and the property be deeded to the County Board of Education before the school can be put in operation. No provision is made for any temporary establishment. The framers of the Act evidently did not forsee that such cases of urgency as the present were likely to occur. There is a way, however, by which the matter of the establishing of a High School can be as without any material delay, and we would like to see it adopted. There is a law on the statute books of this State giving cities with a population of fifteen hundred or over or two or more school districts united for the purpose, the privilege to establish high schools, and we believe that this Act is not burdened with any restrictions that will cause delay. We understand that schools have already been organized in San Bernardino and San Diego counties under this Act. The city or united districts establishing such schools have the privilege of charging for the tuition of all pupils who come from without their limits. By establishing a high school under this Act the city or districts so doing would earn all of the benefits following its establishment and outside parties would only be required to pay for what they receive. Winter Vegetables. Next winter will see the development in this section of a new industry, which is destined to rival the orange industry. The railroads have agreed to co-operate with the Wells-Fargo Express in the shipment of winter vegetables. The winter before last the express company shipped from Los Angeles a few small consignments of vegetables to the East with good results. Last year there were a good many shipments. Large quantities were sent East. The expression was 7 cents a pound. They sold like wildfire, and the feasibility and profit of such shipments were clearly demonstrated. This year growers have taken hold of the matter in great earnest, and they are going to raise large quantities, so that shipments can be made in carload lots. The Santa Fe Company has given a rate of $105 per hundred to Eastern centers like Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis and other points, and from these places the express company will distribute them so that it will be possible to get vegetables from Southern California in the heart of winter in any part of the United States at a cost of about 3 cents per pound. This will make the selling price of vegetables so low that the public and middle class of people can buy them, and a great demand for them will spring up. Hereforeby reason of the cost of transportation, only the upper classes could purchase them. The vegetables shipped will be tomatoes, peas, beans, new potatoes, cauliflower and the like. No fruit or berries will be shipped. There are three months in the year when Schools, signed by not less than one hundred resident electors of such city or incorporate town, or school district, it shall be due of the County School Superintendent, with twenty days, to call an election, and appoint the officers to conduct the same, for the determination of such question. Notices of such election, not less than five in such city or if incorporated town, and not less than three in each district concerned, shall be posted, one which shall be upon the schoolhouse in each district, at least ten days before said election. Said election shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by law for conducting school elections. The ballots of such elections shall contain the words "For High School" and the voter shall write or print thereafter for the ballot word "Yes" or the word "No." It shall be the duty of the officers of such elections to report the result of such election to the County Superintendent of Schools. Sec. 3. If a majority of such votes be cast in favor of a High School, it shall be due of the County School Superintendent to call a meeting of the Board of Education in such city or incorporated town, if they be one; if not, of the Board of City Trustees or of the Boards of School Trustees uniting within fifteen days, ten days' notice of which shall be given to each member of each board in writing, by the County Superintendent At such meeting the question of locating the High School shall be determined. Sec. 4. In cities incorporated towns, Union High School Districts, which have terminated to establish such High School an annual tax shall be levied by the authorities whose duty it is to levy taxes in counties, cities, or incorporated towns, amount of said tax being estimated by the County Superintendent of Schools (or if it is a city having a City Superintendent, then the City Superintendent of Schools), and before the second Monday of September each year. Aid it shall be the duty of such authorities to levy such a rate as will produce the amount estimated to be necessary for such purpose. Sec. 5. In cities or incorporated towns having Boards of Education, the Board of Education shall have charge of such High Schools. In schools district uniting to form a Union High School District, the board shall have charge of the High School shall cause of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees each district forming the Union High School District. Sec. 6. Said Board of Union High School District Trustees shall elect a Chairman Clerk at time and in manner as provided in section six hundred and forty-nine of Political Code. For the management of the Union High School, the board shall have all the powers and duties that it now and may be hereafter vested in School Trustees, except as otherwise provided this Act; provided that if the Union High School District comprises but two schools district consists of Chairman and Clerk of each district concerned. Sec. 7. The course of study of such High Schools shall be prescribed by the High School Board. Said course of study shall be prepared as soon completed, should its advisents for admission in the State University. Sec. 8. Graduates of the Grammar School of the city, incorporated town, or the schools composing the Union High School District, shall be admitted to such High School without examination. Other applicants, residents of the city, incorporated town, or Union High School Districts, shall be admitted upon passing an examination, be conducted by the High School Board at the Principal Non-residents, otherwise qualified may be admitted upon paying a Positively Home-Grown!

Loren Fletcher, one of the Republican leader of Minnesota and a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, returned a day or two ago from Bar Harbor, where he had a long talk with Mr. Blaine. He said that Blaine would live to serve his country for many years yet. He was not ill, but simply needed rest. The Minnesota told him that only two topics were now discussed in the Northwest—the big wheat crop and Blaine's health. He assured the Secretary that Blaine and reciprocity would sweep that part of the country. The only answer Blaine made was a smile and a deprecatory gesture, yet Fletcher has the impression that Blaine will run if asked with sufficient unanimity. "Did he impress you as a man on the verge of the grave?" was asked. "Yes," replied Fletcher, "but the grave was that of the next Democratic nominee."

Sec. 9. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as preventing all the school districts in the county from uniting to form one more County High Schools; provided that any city, incorporated town, or Union High School District shall vote to maintain a High School; such territory shall be exempt from taxation to support a High School; and provided further that such city or incorporated town, or two more school districts, shall establish a High School prior to the submission of the question of establishing a County High School or schools, the electors of such High School District shall be excluded from voting under the County High School proposition. Sec. 10. This Act shall take effect fast and after its passage. [Approved May 20th, 1891.] The County High School Law Under which our friends at Santa Ana urging to steal a march on us, and have the city high school turned into a county high school, the game to be supported by the people of the county: Section 1. There may be established in county in the State one or more County High Schools; provided that at any genial or special election, held in such county at 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. Sec. 2. The Board of Supervisors shall any general election to be held in any county after the passage of this Act, and upon petition of fifty or more qualified electors and taxpayers of said county, they mustmit the question to the qualified electors establishing a County High School. They may, in their discretion, call a special election for such purpose upon the petition of least fifty qualified electors of such county. Said election shall be conducted in the manner prescribed by law for conducting elections. The ballots at such election AUGUST 20, 1891. HIGH SCHOOLS. FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS COMBINE AND ESTABLISH HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICTS. We found the law in reference to union high school district, the law under which it is the establish one or more high side of the river. But we do support a county high school at all those communities that are combining for the purpose of school at home should vote high school: any city or incorporated town and five hundred or more in majority vote of the qualifies, establish and maintain; or two or more adjoining districts, for the purpose of establishing a High School expense of such city or in town, or Union High School. In a majority of the Board of a city or incorporated town of Education, or a majority of two or more adjoining schools, shall unite in a petition to superintendent, accompanied by the establishment of such High School by not less than one hundred dollars of such city or incorporated district, it shall be the duty School Superintendent, within so call an election, and appoint conduct the same, for the desuch question. Notices of such less than five in such city or in town, and not less than three for upon the schoolhouse in each days before said election. shall be conducted in the manner law, for conducting school the ballots of such elections shall words "For. High School," and write or print thereafter on contain the words "For County High School," and the voter may write or print thereafter on the ballot the word "Yes" or the word "No." Sec. 3. If the majority of all the votes cast are in the affirmative, it shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors, within 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, for the accommodation of such school, together with the cost of conducting such school for the next twelve months. Sec. 4. When such estimate shall have been made the Board of Supervisors shall thereupon proceed to levy a special tax upon all the assessable property of the county, sufficient to raise the amount estimated as necessary for the purchasing of a lot, procuring plans and specifications, erecting a building, furnishing the same, fencing and ornamenting the grounds, and the cost of running said school for the following twelve (12) months. Said tax shall be computed, entered on the tax roll, and collected in the same manner as other taxes are computed, entered, and collected, and the amount so collected shall be deposited in the County Treasury, and be known and designated as the County High School Fund, and shall be drawn from the Treasury as other moneys so 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 shall cause the same to be decided 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 the necessary text-books (the State series shall 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 employers when deemed advisable by them; and to do any and all other things necessary to the proper conduct of the special tax. This special election is the only place where the voters have any voice in authorizing the special tax levy, and that in an indirect way. To vote for the high school votes for the tax—not in any specific amount, but in whatever amount the Board of Supervisors may "estimate" as necessary to carry out the provisions of the act. Are we ready to turn this whole question over to the Board, without securing competition on the location, plans and specifications, buildings, etc.; in short, without knowing beforehand a single thing about the amount of tax we are indirectly authorizing the Board to levy? The court might not sustain such a vague method of authorizing a tax levy, and the Board of Supervisors would in all probability act discreetly for the taxpayers; but is it a wise business transaction to "go it blind" in that manner? It does not help matters to say that the Board can exercise its discretion about the time of levying the portion of the tax necessary for grounds and buildings. The Board has no discretion in the matter without disobeying the plain provisions of the act. The courts hold that these special acts of the legislature for a specific purpose must be rigidity construed and strictly followed. The county is threatened with a lawsuit over the money spent in this county by Los Angeles county after the separation. Quite a number of our school districts are heavily bonded for the schools we already have. Some of our territory is bonded for water or water-works. When are we going to catch up, and at at same time keep our taxes down to a moderate limit? Talk about inducing immigration by keeping up with the march of improvement! You can load your property down with so many liabilities that no same man will touch it. It is an easy matter to be led, by platitudes about higher education, to add to your obligations; but it is not so easy to meet those obligations. While considering whether you can afford the expense, also ask yourselves what you are to get for the outlay. Remember, too, that there is no repentance after death. Don't come around whining about your taxes after you vote them upon yourselves. Respectfully, S. Armour.

The course of study shall be such 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 tax levy 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 be 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 and 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 Auditor, who shall draw his warrant on the County Treasurer in favor of the person or persons to whom the amount called for in 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 of any county deem it expedient to establish and maintain more than one County High School, then such additional school or schools 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 for the admission of graduates holding diplomas from the County Grammar Schools of the county, and to all pupils of the county who can pass the examination for admission. The examination for admission should be conducted by the County Board of Education and the Principal of the County High School. Sec. 10. This Act shall take effect from and after its passage. [The law was approved March 10, 1891.] Mr. Armor's Letter. The following letter on the county high school, from the pen of Supervisor Armor of Orange, is reprinted from our last week's issue. Demands for that issue exceeded the supply, and we therefore reprint those articles which relate to the county high school, and which every taxpayer in the county should read: EDITOR GAZETTE.—In my article published last Saturday in the Orange Post it was claimed that the Supervisors were not justified in calling a special election on the high school question, at an expense of $1,200 to $1,500, when the matter could be determined at the next general election with no additional expense to the taxpayers. It was shown that the law limits which limits the State Fund to the payment of teachers of primary and gran- taxes down to a moderate limit! Talk about inducing immigration by keeping up with the march of improvement! You can load your property down with so many liabilities that no same man will touch it. It is an easy matter to be led, by platitudes about higher education, to add to your obligations; but it is not so easy to meet those obligations. While considering whether you can afford the expense, also ask yourselves what you are to get for outlay. Remember, too, that there is no repentance after death. Don't come around whining about your taxes after you vote them upon yourselves. Respectfully, S. Armor. Why Outlying Precinct Should Vote Against the County High School. From THE GAZETTE OF Last Week. On the 29th of this month people of this county will be called upon to vote whether or no a county high school shall be established at Santa Ana. The proclamation calling for the election will be found elsewhere in today's paper. To the people of this neighborhood the establishment of a high school at Santa Ana will be of very little if any advantage. When it is considered that there are but a handful of high-school scholars in the county—there is only one in this city and we do not think there is another on this side of the river—the haste of the Board of Supervisors in calling a special election, at an expense to the people of not less than $1,200, is inexplicable. This money, if it were expended in the improvement of the roads in the county, would subserve a much better purpose. Again, of what benefit would a high school at Santa Ana be to us on this side of the river? What benefit would it be, in short, to the taxpayers in many outlying precincts of the county? Absolutely none. The school would be too far away—its many inconveniences would practically debar children living in the outlying precincts from attending it. The spirit of the law is that high-school pupils may attend school at home. Under this view of the case it is the intention of our citizens to establish a high school here, just so soon as it shall be necessary. Those children who will be enabled to attend this county high school must live in districts contiguous to Santa Ana. Those districts should form a union high school district and pay for the expense of their school, and not ask that it be supported at the expense of the county. The establishment of this high school will saddle an unbearable tax upon our heavily loaded taxpayers. The time is not ripe for it—we have no need for a high school except in such districts as the taxpayers are agreed it is necessary and are willing themselves to support it. But to ask the county to support it for the benefit of Santa Ana, is quite a different thing. Every taxpayer in the county, except those who are directly benefited by the school, should vote against the proposition. Especially those in the outlying precincts should get to-the polls,and vote against it; for if the school should be established,they will be saddled withthe expenseofitforalltimetocome.Anaheim,FullertonOrange.WestminsterandGardenGrovemayattachcontiguousschooldistrictsiftheywish,andformunionhighschooldistrictshighshallbelocalin theirnature,andwherethepupilsmayattendschoolathome.Byso doing,they become exempt from taxationforthesupportofthecountyhighschool,andthis exemptionwillundoubtedlyproveanincentivetorformationofsuchdistricts.Buttheoutlyingprecincts—SanJuan,Trabuco,Silverado,NewHopeWillowa,Bolsa.Yorbaandthe rest— In this Act shall be conventing all the school districts from uniting to form one or two High Schools; provided that they incorporated town, or Union District shall vote to maintain such territory shall be ex-taxation to support a County and provided further, that if incorporated town, or two or districts, shall establish a High School to the submission of the questioning a County High School, the electors of such High School be excluded from voting upon high School proposition.

They may discretion, call a special elec- purpose upon the petition of at qualified electors of such county. The shall be conducted in the man- dled by law for conducting elec- ballots at such election shall supply, and we therefore reprint those articles which relate to the county high school, and which every taxpayer in the county should read: EDITOR GAZETTE.—In my article published last Saturday in the Orange Post it was claimed that the Supervisors were not justified in calling a special election on the high school question, at an expense of from $1,200 to $1,500, when the matter could be determined at the next general election with no additional expense to the taxpayers. It was shown that the law which limits the State School Fund to the payment of teachers of primary and grammar grades is based on common sense and justice, in that general taxation is measured by the general benefits received; that to support the high school by general taxation is to compel the poor, who cannot use it on account of the necessity of earning a living, to help the rich to pay for it, who can and do get the benefit; and that the estimated expense for the first year, without providing grounds and buildings, would necessitate an increase of the tax rate by not less than five cents, on each $100 of valuation throughout the entire county, to be followed by other and greater taxes year by year for all time to come. Now it will be noticed that this estimate does not include grounds and buildings, because certain interested parties have promised the use of a room free the first year in Santa Ana. If that could be done it would defer that part of the burden only a short time; but what does the act itself say on that point? "Section 3. If the majority of all the castes are cast in the affirmative, it shall be the duty of the Board of Supervisors, within 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, for the accommodation of such school, together with the coat of conducting such school for the next twelve months. Section 4. When such estimate shall have been made the Board of Supervisors shall thereupon proceed to levy a special tax upon all of the assessable property of the county, sufficient to raise the amount estimated as necessary for the purchasing of a lot, procuring plans and specifications, erecting a building, furnishing the same, fencing and ornamenting the grounds, and the cost of running raid school for the following twelve (12) months. Said tax shall be computed, entered on the tax roll, and collected in the same manner as other taxes are computed, entered and collected, etc." It will be noticed that this law is just mandatory in its terms as any on the statute book, and that instead of providing for the issue of bonds it requires a Especially those in that outlying precincts should get to the polls, and vote against it, for if the school should be established, they will be saddled with the expense of it for all time to come. Anheinah, Fullerton, Orange Westminster and Garden Grove may attach contiguous school districts, if they wish, and form union high school districts, which shall be local in their nature, and where the pupils may attend school at home. By so doing, they become exempt from taxation for the support of the county high school, and this exemption will undoubtedly prove an incentive for the formation of such districts. But the outlying precincts—San Juan, Trabuco, Silverado, Newport, Now Hope, Willows, Bolaa, Yorba and the rest—which might not be able to form districts of their own, or may not be able to show the necessity for them—will be saddled with the expense of this county high school for all time. When Gabriel blows his horn will the time of their exemption come. They will never escape, and as the larger districts become exempt from taxes for the county school, taxes in these outlying precincts will become more burdensome with each recurring year. It will be too late for them to get out of it alter the election. Once they get in it, they are there to stay. Then let them all vote solidly against the proposition. We on this side of the river are solid against it. We do not know of a man who is not against it. And we are all in favor of high schools. But they must be local in their constituency. We do not want a high school seven or eight miles away. Other districts in the county, ten twelve or fifteen miles away, should also vote against it. The outlying precincts should vote solidly against the school. They will never escape taxation if they don't. Vote no, get your neighbor to the polls, and see that he votes with you. The Parent of Insomnia. The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach. Good digestio gives sound sleep. Digestion 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 entrapot, the brain. Involgate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great center. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful laxative which though they may for a long period a superior influence upon the brain, soil cease to act, and invariably injure the tone of the stomach. The Hitters on the contrary, restore activity to the operations of that 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 Olive Milling Co. pay out more money in this county than any other single industry.
