The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY ... MARCH 3, 1898 WHILE Anaheim can boast of a sufficiency of places of business of almost every line of trade, and nearly every want of farm and fireside can be easily supplied from its well-stocked stores, shops, yards and mills, there yet remain unfilled wants in several departments. For instance, with hundreds of acres of the finest of apricots, peaches, prunes, etc., there is no cannery to work up the surplus. There is no evaporator for working up the abundant harvest of peaches, apricots, figs and deciduous fruits into the finest quality of marketable goods, and thus keeping at home and among ourselves the freight money which must be paid to transport our goods to Los Angeles or other points where these useful and, when well managed, remunerative institutions are located. In England and Scotland there are establishments employing hundreds of hands which make a specialty of working up oranges into marmalade, a conserve which finds a ready market in the United Kingdom, and which would soon find one in the United States. Such a factory could include the manufacture of candied fruits, than which no other country in the world offers a more excellent or greater variety of material for these delicious confections. Thousands of boxes, far superior to the little, sour things which are transported from Portugal and Spain into England to be worked up into marmalade, may be had in the small unmarketed fruit from the orchards of Anaheim and vicinity and which are now allowed to go to waste. A want long felt in this vicinity also is a packing house, where fruit may be brought in, sorted and packed, and forwarded to market under a brand which by uniformity and superior quality of goods would soon make for itself a name which would insure good prices in any market to which it might be sent. There are other lines of business not developed, which the proverbial ingenuity of the American citizen should work up from the new and as yet untried circumstances and productions of this marvelous land. As settlers become more familiar with the requirements of the country, never conducted a paper within the confines of Orange county. We shall miss our old friend from his accustomed place. We shall miss the charm of his diction, the racy flavor of his personality, from the columns of an exchange that was always opened with interest, always carefully read and always laid away with the consciousness that one was better informed for having perused its pages. As an editor Dan Baker is one of many. He has been a tower of strength within his party—a potent factor for the upbuilding of the community in which he has cast his lot for so many years. He has seen Santa Ana grow from a hamlet to a splendid city, and no man has had a more active hand in its development than he. An orator who on occasion soars into the empyrean heights of impassioned eloquence, a forcible and entertaining writer, and in his intercourse with men as simple and free from guile as a child—our old friend’s retirement from the journalistic fold will leave a void in its ranks that will not be easily filled. Santa Ana—Orange county—owes much to the work of this sturdy Nestor of the Orange county press. His labors have been indefatigable for its material advancement; and his reward has been insignificant in comparison; for an editor, like a prophet, is not without honor, save in his own country. Mr. Baker will first give his attention to a much needed rest, and he will probably pass a short vacation in the mountains in quest of health and recreation. His retirement from the press of the county will send a pang of keen regret into the hearts of not only those of his neighboring fellow-craftsmen, but to the editors of Southern California as well. All will join in wishing that his lines may be in future cast in pleasant places, and that heaven's choicest blessings may be upon him and his family. The new editors are very pleasant gentlemen, Mr. Dague being quite well known throughout Southern California, coming hither from Iowa some years ago. It is said that he has been possessed of an earnest desire to purchase the Standard from the time of his first visit to Santa Ana. Mr. Honeywell is just out from Iowa, and undoubtedly the new proprietors will give Santa Ana a wide-awake and energetic newspaper. LOOK FOR THE FLOWERS. A Plea For a Higher Education. CITY TRUSTEES. Date of the Municipal Election Sunday, April 11th. The Board of City Trustees made regular session on Wednesday evening, the latter day being a holiday (Washington’s birthday). were present Trustees Rust, Grove Helmsen. Trustee Helmsen of the Fire Committee reported the ordering car of crude oil, the purchase applies for the power-house and the Ampere metre had been ordered. Trustee Groat of the Ordinance committee introduced an ordinance on a general election in the city on April 11th next. Trustee Helmsen reported that burning out of the arc lights on street was owing to the transformation being too high a voltage; and the Wybro & Lawrence Co. of L.A. ges had at the time of settlement agreed to rewind them. The close some three weeks ago forwarded transformers to Wybro & Lawry but they had failed to return them. The Clerk read a communion from the Bell Rock oil company in Anglesia in which they stated their bond would be ready in 30 days and the city might withhold all damages for oil until the arrival of bond. A communication from H. Dee of Los Angeles calling the board intention to the fact that some people were maliciously tearing down fences which surround his property and were using the lots as pastures for all kinds of live stock. He told the board to assist in the protection his property from destruction. Ferred to the Marshal. Trustee Helmsen stated that necessary that the steam pipes be power house be covered, which effect a great saving in fuel. He said that the committee had received estimates and filed the same with clerk, ranging from $60 75 to $120 Upon motion of Trustee Helmsen Chair and City Clerk were authorized to draw the necessary warrants in mention of fees during the trial of Oner & Howe vs. the City of Ana-Adjourned. Literary Society. The literary society of the school held its regular semi-month meeting at the residence of Mrs. on Monday evening, where the following program was carried out: Reading: "Cyrus the Great." Ottie Essay: "The pleasures to be gained from a short study of Botany." Alma is a packing house, where fruit may be brought in, sorted and packed, and forwarded to market under a brand which by uniformity and superior quality of goods would soon make for itself a name which would insure good prices in any market to which it might be sent. There are other lines of business not developed, which the proverbial ingenuity of the American citizen should work up from the new and as yet untried circumstances and productions of this marvelous land. As settlers become more familiar with the requirements of the country, new appliances are brought into use, the soil is put to uses before unthought of, and go-ahead, wide-awake men find but little difficulty in opening up avenues of profitable and pleasure-giving occupation. The "cannery meeting" at Mr. Rogers' residence on Monday afternoon showed a very commendable spirit on the part of the numerous gathering of the representative men of the community, and we have no hesitancy in stating that with the continuation of the public spirit there illustrated we shall have a cannery in time to work up the hundreds of tons of peaches and apricots that now each season go to waste. Steps were set on foot looking to the procuring of subscriptions to stock, and committees are now out with lists presenting them to the consideration of the people of the community. Mr. Groom of Ontario, who has the reputation of being in the very front ranks of fruit canners in the State, is anxious to invest in the enterprise, and will probably have charge of the establishment. But in order to invite outside capital it is necessary that we show the world that we are ready and willing to help ourselves. We must take stock to the amount of say two or three thousand dollars, and this we believe the growers of the neighborhood are abundantly able and willing to do. Offers of houses to be used for a term of years for the cannery, rent free, have been made, and altogether the subject seems to start out in apple-pie order. There is no $5,000 "bonus" asked for—we opine the people of this city have had a fill of such propositions—but here we have a business undertaking that will redound to the good of every man, woman and child in the community. Let us have the cannery in operation in time to handle the deciduous fruit of the coming summer. A COMMUNICATION appearing elsewhere upon the propriety of petitioning the proper authorities for the calling of a special election for the formation of a high school district here should appeal to the common sense and judgment of the good people of this community. A high school would seem to be almost an imperative necessity, and we hope the matter will be thoroughly discussed in all its phases and steps taken toward the formation of the school. The Fullerton high school is a credit to the educational Institutions of the county. So happily has the school prospered, that the energetic people of that district have The new editors are very pleasant gentlemen, Mr. Dague being quite well known throughout Southern California, coming hither from Iowa some years ago. It is said that he has been possessed of an earnest desire to purchase the Standard from the time of his first visit to Santa Ana. Mr. Honeywell is just out from Iowa, and undoubtedly the new proprietors will give Santa Ana a wide-awake and energetic newspaper. LOOK FOR THE FLOWERS. A Plea For a Higher Education. EDITOR GAZETTE:—There are flowers for everybody. They are scattered along every one's pathway in manifold form, hue and beauty, with something to cheer every eye that looks upon them. Then let us be up and doing; open the shutters and let in the daylight, so that with cheerful spirit we can look upon them and all the glories of nature, and thus make radiant the chambers of the mind and quicken the pulses of the heart. Weeds will be uprooted as if by magic, from the garden of the mind, and in their places will bloom and blow flowers of sweetest fragrance and brightest hue. Ever since the writer's school and collegiate days were ended, one thought paramount to all others has taken deep root in his mind, and that was to break down every barrier, and open up every avenue and pathway for the advancement of the young and tender minds that we daily see rushing with cheerful faces and blithesome hearts to our public schools. Our own State of California stands upon an equal footing with a few, and at the head of all the other States of the Union in point of educational advantages. The wisdom of our law makers has been made manifest in the rich provisions made for the education of our children. Even in the sparse settlements where but fifteen census children have their homes the parents or guardians may petition to have a school district set apart for their children's benefit, and an apportionment is made from the public funds for that purpose. From the primary grade up through the grammar, then on to the High school, the Normal and the University are but the stepping stones provided for the acquisition of that knowledge which is to fit the rising generation for the great responsibilities of the future. I venture the assertion that in all the broad expanse of Orange county there is no more favored spot for the establishment of a high school than right here in Anaheim; neither is the establishment of one more imperatively demanded and required than right here. Yearly we have a large graduating class from the grammar school, and the great majority of the graduates, however great their desire to pursue their studies further, are debarred from so doing by reason of the great distance they have to travel to and from the nearest high school. Under present conditions the expense attendant upon the establishment and maintenance of a high school in our own town would be nothing compared with the immeasurable advantages derived from its establishment. In the first place we have the necessary building already erected, and I may remark here that a better or more commodious one cannot be found within the confines of the county. The literary society of the public school held its regular semi-month meeting at the residence of Mrs. on Monday evening, where the following program was carried out: Reading, "Cyrus the Great," Ottawa Essay; "The pleasures to be gained from a short study of Botany," Alma Reading, News topics and accounts of Cuba war; Laura Debate; The study of literature is a priori to the study of mathematics for a man in life; Affirmative-Leger, John Dauser; Assistant, Katrina L. White; Negative-Leader, Rail Jones; Assistant, Fannie Seal. The Judges were Otto Zeus, M.Cahen and Willie Wallop. The judge received a vote of two, and affirmative one. After a very interesting talk by Prof. Little on the subject business was brought up, and refreshmentsthe society adjourned.The next meeting will be at their dence of Mr. Merritt. SPAIN PLEADS FOR TIME Asks Until the 1st of May to End War in Cuba. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—A dispute over a morning paper from Washington says: The American government is an ultimatum to Spain some time ago to effect that unless autonomy successfully established in Cuba March 1, the United States Government would be compelled to act. known to a chosen few here and to die diplomats in Europe that S is making every effort to have an additional respite of two months grant She wants to put off day counting until the 1st of May, gogotions to that end are going on Washington now. Spain is doing her utmost this extension of time. It is plain autonomy has been the worst kind failure and March 1 is the day on w our ultimatum expires. The destiny of the Maine has added complications, President McKinley desirous of establishing these sponsibility for the explosion being taking final action on the subject autonomy. Nevertheless Spain not ceased her efforts to obtain this spite until May 1. Kite-Shaped Track Express.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Santa Ana Standard, which for fourteen years and a half has been under the editorial control of D. M. Baker, passes this week from his management into that of its new proprietors, R. A. Dague, recently of Santa Paula, and Frank Honeywell, lately arrived from Wichita, Kan., the two gentlemen having purchased the paper from Mr. Baker on Monday and taken possession of the plant on Tuesday. The paper will be issued under the new management this week, and it will remain Democratic in politics. What the Standard will be without the name of Bro. Baker at its masthead is as yet a question which regret at his retirement so far outweighs as to put quite out of the reckoning. Certainly an editor more able, or a gentleman more companionable, more widely informed or of more loveable traits of character, Yearly we have a large graduating class from the grammar school, and the great majority of the graduates, however great their desire to pursue their studies further, are debarred from doing by reason of the great distance they have to travel to and from the nearest high school. Under present conditions the expense attendant upon the establishment and maintenance of a high school in our own town would be nothing compared with the immeasurable advantages derived from its establishment. In the first place we have the necessary building already erected, and I may remark here that a better or more commodious one cannot be found within the confines of the county. The expense attendant upon the erection of a building for high school purposes is therefore eliminated, and naught remains to be provided for, save what is necessary for the salary of the teacher or teachers as necessity may require. By the establishment of a high school here in Anaheim, thereby transferring the ninth grade from the public to the high school, the other grades can be arranged so that the first and second, which now only receive a half day's schooling (and about which considerable feeling is manifested by the parents of those children) can have the full number of hours of instruction accorded them under the provisions of the school law. In view of the facts presented it seems to the writer that the residents of Anaheim and vicinity are standing in their own light not to see and embrace the opportunity of securing for their children the means of attaining that higher education of which the grammar school is but the portal. We may say with truthfulness, and we cannot emphasize it too strongly that the future of the child with all its responsibilities, its enjoyment, its usefulness, its breadth of character, yea the future of our great nation as well, depends upon the child's days of school life. The past is gone; but the present is ours to work in withal. Therefore see to it that a petition to the School Board be at once circulated, asking that a high school be established in Anaheim, and when the term begins next September Anaheim will then occupy her proper place as an educational center, which ought to have been her's years ago. In conclusion look for the flowers for the children's sakes, and pluck them for their benefit. "We oft destroy the present joy For future hopes, and praise them; While flowers as sweet, bloom at our feet If we'd but stoop to raise them." J. G. G. Excursions.

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—A Sun special in Havana says: Spanfards of all cities are unable to conceal their joy over the disaster to the Maine and even the city newspapers, after the first adventional expressions of sorrow, the most cruel and inhuman sentiments are found. Diario de la Marina, the oldest newspaper of Havana, and the paper possesses the largest circulation all over the land, has published the most unfeel-remarks about the dead Americanors. Three editions of Diario conning insulting paragraphs were quickly exhausted with great delight by Spanish readers. This newspaper is always the first to attack the American press for merely printing news from Cuba that is not favorable to the Spanish cause. The Diario said on February 21st: "the blowing up of the Maine was a catomb," and then printed the folling explanation: "A subscriber us, what is meant by the word 'hecab.' We have to answer that, acting to classical dictionaries it was perilice of over 100 oxen before the ears of false gods. It was also a lesale butchery of dumb beasts and other kinds of animals." One joke, if so it can be called, has been reprinted by all the Spanish press. Understand the significance of this old piece of journalism it is only necessary to say that the ox is regarded the Spanish people as the most contigible of animals. Diario de la Marina is the official or- of the Spanish navy, and is owned friends of the present government cuba. Its principal shareholder and resident of the board of directors is Marquis of Rabell, honorary president of the Autonomist party. The owner is a strong autonomist organ, and, El Pais, it receives direct Inspira-tion from Senor Galves' Habnet, The Fullness of Country Life. In the country every morning of the year brings with it a new aspect of springing or fading nature, a new duty to be fulfilled upon earth and a new promise or warning in heaven. No day is without its innocent hope, its special prudence, its kindly gift and its sublime danger and in every process of wise husbandry and every effort of contending or remedial courage. The wholesome passions, pride and bodily power of the laborer are excited and exerted in happiest unison. The companionship of domestic and the care of serviceable animals soften and enlarge his life with lowly charities and discipline him in familiar wisdoms and unboostful fortitudes, while the divine laws of seed-time, which cannot be recalled, harvest, which cannot be hastened, and winter, in which no man can work, compel the impatience and coveting of his heart into labor too submissive to be anxious and rest too sweet to be wanton.—John Ruskin. The Home of a Genius. Beethoven was born in a small house in Bonn. His father had inherited the vice of drinking, and often Beethoven and his younger brother were obliged to take their intoxicated father home. He was never known to utter an unkind word about the man who had made his youth so unhappy, and he never failed to resent it when a third person spoke uncharitably of his father's frailty. Young Beethoven was thus taught many a severe lesson in the hard school of adversity. But his trials were not without advantage to him. They gave to his character that iron texture which upheld him under his heaviest burdens. Fresh Groceries & Provisions! Cigars and Tobacco. Stationery, Candy, Notices, Etc.
