The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel. Charles Ruchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY... JANUARY 14, 1897 The biennial report of the Bureau of Highways, an extended extract from the pages of which appears upon the first page this morning, contains some very interesting reading for the tax payers. From it we learn that during the past eleven years the counties of the State expended for the construction and repair of roads no less than $17,959,717 74. This is exclusive of San Francisco which expended for streets and roads during the same time, exclusive of sewers and sidewalks, $10,914,931 19. Here we have a total of nearly $28,000,000 expended upon the roads of the State during this time, and the question arises, where has this money gone to? The amount of money raised for roads by the counties of the State for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895, was $1,788,231 74, exclusive of a million of dollars raised by San Francisco for the same purpose during the same time. Orange county expended $22,949 upon its roads during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895; $21,082 the year before; $21,798 in 1893, and $22,614 in 1892. Orange county has expended a gross amount of $139,447 07 upon its roads since its organization as a county in 1889. Los Angeles county has expended the enormous amount of $884,745 upon its roads during the past ten years; in the single year 1891 the amount being $125,892. Riverside has expended $90,316 upon its roads during the three years of its existence, San Bernardino has expended $281,411 during the last ten years, and San Diego $393,857 during the same time. The query at once suggests itself, what is the cause of this condition of affairs? To this there can be but one answer. The work upon our highways has been carried on without method or system; the money has been wastefully and injudiciously expended. The remedy must be apparent. Changes in the existing laws alone will not suffice. Such defects as exist in these may be remedied, but until an economic and definite system of highway construction throughout the entire State be inaugurated, California can hope for no improvement over the present expensive condition of her highways. THE ANNUAL ELECTION. The annual election of a board of seven Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company approaches this year with much less of turpitude than characterized the contest a year ago. The probabilities are that a quiet election will result, and that a good Board of Directors will be chosen. Of the gentlemen whose names are mentioned the most prominently in connection with the office are W. F.' Botsford, Wm. Crowther, Ernest Browning, Max Nebelung, G. B. Key, and E R. Amerige (all of them members of the present board), as well as J. P. Zeyn, W. M. McFadden, L. F. Kellogg, W. J. Fay, L. Benchley, and A Goodwin. With such a list of excellent material to select from, the stockholders cannot but elect a board of practical and experienced men, who will manage the affairs of the company during the year with credit alike to themselves and the stockholders. It ought not to require perceptive faculties of a very keen order to make a pretty fair guess as to which of these gentlemen will be among those whose names will head the list when the votes are counted. There are twelve men whose names are given here, and probably four will withdraw from the race before the casting of the ballots. Mr. McFadden cannot really be said to be a candidate, insamuch as he positively declines to run; notwithstanding the fact that his friends insist that he permit his name to be used. Mao is an experienced and level-headed legislator, and would add strength and perspicacity to the board. Concerning the other gentlemen, there may be changes upon the political checker-board before the day of the election, and no one can predict accurately the possibility of the outcome. Probably only eight men will be voted for. While one may make a reasonably fair guess as to who the fortunate men may be, yet it is over a fortnight to the election, and no one can say what may happen before that time. The yearly talk of an attempt to effect a change in the employees of the company, as well as other minor matters of more or less moment, is heard again to a limited extent; but if we should hazard a guess we should say that the services of Secretary Blenner-hassett and Superintendent Sheppard will go on uninterruptedly after the election, the same as before. It were a work of super-ogation to recount the many ways in which these gentlemen have been of service to the company, in as well as out of their respective offices. So far as the official records of the water company are concerned, SALES OF WATER. TABLE SHOWING THE SALES TO IRRIGATION DURING THE YEAR—COMPARATIVE FIGURES OF OTHER YEARS. The following interesting table of water sales by the Anaheim Union Water Company has been kindly furnished us by the Board of Audit now auditing the books and accounts in the water office. The figures make what an accountant would call an interesting picture: WATER DELIVERED IN 1896—HEADS. Total... 15,401.00 ... 8,734.85 ... 24,155.85 ... 1.0 Comparison of number of heads delivered during the dry months of June, July and August, for 1894, 1895 and 1896: June... 3590.75 ... 3291.5 ... 3575.5 July... 2605.75 ... 3291.5 ... 3575.5 August... 2220.25 ... 2873.0 ... 2895.5 Total... 8516.75 ... 9270.0 ... 10120.0 Number heads of water delivered in 1894: 25,908.28. Number heads of water delivered in 1895: 16,949.50. Number heads of water delivered in 1896: 24,135.85. OUR NEIGHBOR'S BABY. Our neighbor's baby is a dainty little pinkish bundle with blue eyes and golden hair. She was born to the wife of Mr Walter Parrett on Saturday, the ninth day of this beautiful New Year of Our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-seven. She weighed ten pounds, and is remarkable for being the fifth in line of five living generations. She is the happy possessor of grand mothers, great grandmothers, and great-grandfathers. Our neighbor's baby is a wonderful baby and Grandma Hatfield thinks there never one so sweet, and yet perchance some of us have had no less than a doze Dr. Clark was the dignitary who presided over the birth of our neighbor's baby. We have seen the little mother grow from childhood to maturity, and wish for her and her first born showers and showers of blessing through many happy years, and may owe her neighbor's baby attain the ripe old age health and happiness of the oldest of her great-great-grandmothers. FRIENDLY The esteemed Santa Ana Blade of Thursday evening last contained a perfectly gorgeous faked "dispatch" prominently displayed as "Special to the Blade from Anaheim," concerning the film-flamming of Miss Clara Mosseman out of $5 by a smooth rascal who practiced a swindling operation upon her. The "dispatch" offers abundant proof of the splendid talents of the versatile young man temporarily in charge of that excellent newspaper; but it happened to be incorrect in several important particulars. The "dispatch" was without doubt written in the office of our esteemed contemporary, and was, we hazard the statement, based upon the item relative to the swindle appearing in last week's Gazette. We have nothing but words of commendation for the intellect that could develop such an inspiriting piece of news from the plain statement of the swindle, as it appeared in our last week's issue. The world at large must contain fields of abundant promise for this enterprising youngster. Let him mount to the heights of the empirean, and sail on to glory everlasting, as the Kid who Has no Flies on Him! After giving the preliminary announcement of the theft, this versatile youth progresses: Yesterday at 11 o'clock found Miss Mosseman busy plying needle and thread on a swell looking bonnet for some dashing young Anaheimer. That reads well. One can almost imagine looking down upon the lovely picture, and seeing the love of a bonnet which Miss Mosseman wasn't engaged upon at all; and wondering who the "dashing young Anaheimer" might have the distinction to be. Then follows the gorgeous story, weaved into a web of corroborative detail, evidently designed to lend artistic verisimilitude to what might otherwise be a bald and uninteresting narrative: After having secured a fair sample of ribbon the stranger placed it in an envelope, [He didn't.] He received the $5 bill from the hand of the milliner and, very apparently, placed it in the envelope with the ribbon. [He didn't.] Then he sealed the envelope and laid it in plain sight on a table. [He didn't.] Miss Mosseman is an orphan. [She isn't.] The item is altogether, the best piece of manufactured news the Blade has contained since its recent air-ship yarn. We salute the Kid. There are no flies upon him. The Anaheim Gazette is evidently under the impression that the depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company was built long before Anaheim was heard of, and that this is the reason the depot was located more than a mile from the town—[Anaheim Cor. L. A. Times]. The yearly talk of an attempt to effect a change in the employees of the company, as well as other minor matters of more or less moment, is heard again to a limited extent; but if we should hazard a guess we should say that the services of Secretary Blennerhassett and Superintendent Sheppard will go on uninterruptedly after the election, the same as before. It were a work of supererogation to recount the many ways in which these gentlemen have been of service to the company, in as well as out of their respective offices. So far as the official records of the water company are concerned, there is not an office in the State more intelligently or economically administered, where intricate books are more accurately kept, or with more polite and accommodating service to the stockholders. The water company never had a more efficient or more accommodating Secretary than Mr. Blennerhassett, who is at all times engrossed with the work in the office. Of Supt. Sheppard, we might say that he delivered during the past upwards of 24,000 heads of water, while there were but 16,000 delivered in 1895. True, there were 25,000 heads delivered by him in 1894, but that was owing to the long continued irrigation during the fall. During the three months of June, July and August, when the delivery of water tests more than at any other time the capacity of the company to serve irrigators, there was delivered in 1896 over 700 heads more than during the year before, and over 1,400 heads more than during the dry year of 1894. And during all this time there has not been a single objection on the part of the irrigators for want of water. What is the purpose of talking about removing such capable officers as these gentlemen have proven themselves to be? Men may have to farm out the places in the water company to those who may secure votes for them on election day, but that is not the kind of timber that the best Directors come from—hardly. But we apprehend there will be few if any changes in the personal of the company's employees, so long as the present efficient service is vouchsafed the stockholders. MISTLETOEORANYOLD THING. IF THE GIRL DOESN'T OBJECT IT IS ALL RIGHT TO KISS HER, BUT YOU MUSTn't TELL. The large number of wagon loads of mistletoe which have been sold for holiday "business" has evidently aroused great expectation on the part of the young men, and probably great apprehension on the part of the young women, all of which it is devoutly to be wished may be realized. A gentleman who would not have his name mentioned for the world has written to inquire if there was no other plant, sprout or flower under which it is admissible or permissible to kiss a lady. That depends. Under proper conditions, the lady being willing, it is permissible to perform the rite of osculation under any kind of greenery or in the absence of any. Kissing "under the rose" (sub-rosa—in private) is also permissible, as is shown by following true tale. A rather young man at a Christmas party saw other young men kissing young... THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE is evidently under the impression that the depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company was built long before Anaheim was heard of, and that this is the reason the depot was located more than a mile from the town.—[Anaheim Cor. L. A. Times. We are at a loss to imagine what this esteemed correspondent is trying to get at in this extract from his letter of Saturday last. When the Southern Pacific company built its road to this point twenty-two years ago it made an earnest effort to get right way into town—on Palm street, if we mistake not. This was denied them, and the company placed its depot as near the center of town as it could get. It never had a lot to sell here since its advent into the community, as this correspondent attempted to say in his letter of last week. And that, if it were building here to-day, the citizens would freely accord it right of way into town, instead of compelling it to build its station a half mile or more away, is conclusively attested, it seems to us, in the granting to the company by the City Trustees of a franchise for the construction of its road up town on Santa Ana street. What's "eating" this correspondent? Some time ago we noticed a number of humorous references in our exchanges relative to a sawmill proposition offered them for advertising, the contract being that the papers were to accept of an interest in a sawmill in payment for advertising. We had the same offer made us; and now we have a proposition from an Eastern patent medicine concern offering us medicine in return for advertising—and we have the choice of two different kinds! No, thank you, our health is worse than good. The Board of Audit have been diligently at work on the books in the water office during the week, and are making admirable headway. The Board are entitled to the felicitation of the stockholders for coming into town yesterday in the rain. Their report will probably be completed the latter end of the week, or the beginning of next. Dry stove wood delivered at $6 per cord. novtf C. Otto Rust. Wanted to Buy.

Judge Gibbons rendered a decision which granted Julia McKenna the right to a separate tenance from her husband, to a generous lawance of alimony and to solicitor's fees. And there ended a celebrated case. In early days Julia Palmer was a girl in the family of John B. Drake wealthy citizen of Ohioago. James Kenna kept a store in one of the rooms of the Grand Pacific Hotel, of which Mr. Drake was the head. In 1862 McKenna and sewing girl became acquainted and later the same year began living together though there was never any regular mony of marriage. McKenna was a man and he got rich. The sewing girl moved from the family of the hotel proprietor and was established in a home own, and the life of the man and woman forward with not a suspicion of part of their neighbors. Children were to them, and they stood together at altar and became sponsors as father mother of the little ones. The children and the parents stood together at the age and received the sympathy of their friends. They grew old together, and in 1899 Kenna, no longer a young man, seemed to have discovered that the woman who born him six children and given up her to him from a happy beginning, had to be an old woman, and he separated self from her. Mrs. McKenna began for a separated maintenance, but an agreement was reached between the parties which McKenna bound himself to pay $30 per month. The wife dismissed her and signed a stipulation in which acknowledged she had never been married. For a time McKenna paid a monthly lowance, but later defaulted. Mrs. Kenna then began the present process. The court to-day ordered McKenna a temporary alimony and solicitor's fees Kenna is said to be worth $300,000 may be that he will appeal the case has already appealed from a decisive weeks ago refusing to strike his bliss the flies, but the termination of the CONTINUATION Sacrifice Closure Which Will Continue FOR CASH Which is proving memorable in the history of merchandizing through We have marked down every article in our Establishment.

RE-ELECTED BY THE LEGISLATURE ON THE FIRST BALLOT TUESDAY. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12.-Hon. George C. Perkins was to day returned to the Senate of the United States on first ballot by the practically unanimous vote of the Republican members of both houses of the Legislature, voting separately. In the Assembly he received 47 votes and in the Senate 27. The only Republican who failed to vote for him was Senator Mahoney, the disgruntled San Francisco boss who voiced his spleen by voting for Dan Burna. Sam Shortridge's name was not even presented in either house. The victory could not have been more sweeping, and friends and foes are alike expressing satisfaction that it is untainted with suspicion of corruption or venality. Senator Stratton made the nominating speech in the Senate, and the nomination was seconded by Senator Bolla of Los Angeles, who made an able speech, and by many others. No minority candidate was presented in the Senate. In the Assembly, Judge Waymire had the honor of presenting Senator Perkins' name, and in his opening remarks he said that he did it by the Senator's express request. Malcolm of Santa Clara, Valentine of Los Angeles, Bettman of San Francisco, Hill of Humboldt, and North of Yolo made seconding speeches. T.V.Cator was nominated by the Populists and the names of Congressman James G. Maguire, W.W.Foote and J.J.Dwyer were presented by the Democratic members.

The total payroll in 1895, at the end of the week, was $7030 80. This year it is 30, leaving out the item of temporary action it is over $1000 a week greater than two years ago, but this will be somewhat by the fact that the Legislature does likewise.

The Story of His Manipulation of the Nickel Plate Road. Brice's greatest play was building the Nickel Plate. He put in every dollar he could get, and there came a time when he had to sell. He went to Vanderbilt, whose road the Nickel Plate paralleled. Vanderbilt would not buy the Nickel Plate. He said he could afford to wait for the first mortgage foreclosure and buy it from the sheriff. "If you don't buy it, Jay Gould will," said Brice. "Oh, no, he won't," said Vanderbilt. Brice then went to Gould. He knew that he did not want the Nickel Plate, but he had a beautiful scheme to propose. He knew Vanderbilt would buy the road before he would allow Gould to get in. Brice thereupon told Gould that if he would sit silent and not contradict, neither affirm nor deny, any newspaper articles to the effect that he was going to buy the Nickel Plate, and after this olamlike silence had continued for a week, if he would then ride slowly over the Nickel Plate in an observation car, Vanderbilt would buy the road, and he would give Gould $500,000. It struck Gould that the whole thing would be a majestic joke on Vanderbilt. The papers said that Gould was going to buy the Nickel Plate. Gould, when questioned, looked wise. At the end of a week he meandered, snaillike, over the Nickel Plate in the rear end of an observation car and had all the air of a man who was looking at a piece of property. Stories were wired about Gould's trip from every water tank and way station along the line, and before Gould had reached Chicago, Vanderbilt, in a fit of hysterics, wired Brice that he would take the Nickel Plate. He did so, and Brice was saved.—San Francisco Argonaut. ORPHANS.
