The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...JANUARY 19, 1899 As we write, on Wednesday afternoon, twenty odd ballots have been taken for United States Senator at Sacramento, and the result seems as remote as at the beginning of the contest ten days ago. Senator Jones and Assemblyman Chynoweth of this county have voted for U. S. Grant from the beginning—why, it would be difficult to determine. Neither gentleman was pledged to Grant by the convention which nominated them; for Grant was not known to entertain Senatorial ambitions at the time of the Newport convention two years ago, at which Senator Jones was nominated; and while in July last there existed some stir amongst the Grant forces at Santa Ana, and one heard occasionally his name mentioned for the Senatorship, yet at the time of the county convention, at which Mr. Chynoweth was nominated for the Assembly, the political sentiment of the county had undergone such a radical change that the county convention, so far from instructing for Grant, left his name unmentioned, while a plank was inserted in the platform declaring for Henry T. Gage for Governor. We fall to discern wherein our Senator and Assemblyman will find a responsive chord among the Republicans of the county in their advocacy of the San Diego. Mr. Grant cannot be said, by the widest stretch of the imagination, to be a representative Republican of California; indeed we doubt if he has cast but one vote in the State at a general election. Moreover, the statement is made that while he was honored by the Republican State convention of two years ago with election as a delegate-at-large to the National Convention at St. Louis, he did not feel himself in honor bound to the Republicans of this State, nor did he take sufficient interest in the election of McKinley, to return to the State and cast his vote for him for President. Senator Nutt of San Diego, son-in-law of Senator Jones, placed Grant in nomination, and it is supposed to be through his influence that Senator Jones has cast his ballot for that gentleman. Mr. Chynoweth was not instructed by the convention which Holidays have now comes the time for while he was honored by the Republican State convention of two years ago with election as a delegate-at-large to the National Convention at St. Louis, he did not feel himself in honor bound to the Republicans of this State, nor did he take sufficient interest in the election of McKinley, to return to the State and cast his vote for him for President. Senator Nutt of San Diego, son-in-law of Senator Jones, placed Grant in nomination, and it is supposed to be through his influence that Senator Jones has cast his ballot for that gentleman. Mr. Chynoweth was not instructed by the convention which nominated him to vote for Grant, and we think that if a vote were taken in Orange county today to determine the claims of Mr. Grant on the one side and of Senator Bulla of Los Angeles upon the other, the vote would be overwhelmingly in favor of the latter. We respectfully suggest that ins much as the election of Grant seems to be quite impossible, that Messrs. Jones and Chynoweth would meet with the approbation of the Republicans of Orange county by casting their ballots for Senator Bulla. If one were to believe all he read about the contemplated transfer of the cannery to Mr. Weisel, he would intuitively infer that the stockholders are afraid of an assessment, and are making a wild scramble to dispose of their stock at a discount. Nothing could be further from the fact than these two propositions — that the stockholders have a losing proposition upon their hands which they are desirous of disposing of, and that they entertain any unnecessary fear of assessments. There is not a stockholder in the enterprise, we hazard the assertion, who went into the business as a means of profit for himself. The purpose was, as we have repeatedly said, to start the cannery for the good of the community; to create a market for the hundreds of tons of deciduous fruits that had heretofore annually gone to waste, and to furnish employment to the idle labor of the community. The plan has been carried out to a successful issue. A market was created for every pound of deciduous fruit raised in the valley; and prices for apricots were raised from $6 per ton (what they were the year before) to $15; prices for peaches, which were on a par with apricots in the season of 1897, were last year raised to from $15 to $25, the latter price being paid for clingstones, for which there existed an especial demand in the Eastern market. As a result of the establishment of the cannery, purchasers of fruit overran the valley, offering three times the prices prevailing the year before. While it had been almost impossible to sell during the season of 1897, last year growers of first-class fruit were simply deluged with offers to buy. So far as the employment of labor was concerned, the cannery payroll exceeded $600 per week often during last summer. Hundreds of hands were PROPOSED LAWS. Two Bills of Interest to Horticultural Classes Introduced at Sacramento. The following bills, which will be found to be of interest to horticulturists, have been introduced into the Legislature: To Prevent Export of Infected Fruit. —An act to prevent the shipment of infected fruits out of the State of California. The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Sec. 1. Every person who within this State packs or prepares for shipment to any point without this State, or who delivers or causes to be delivered to any express agent, railroad agent, or other person, or to any transportation company or corporation, or to any agent of any express company or corporation, for shipment to any point or place without the State, any fruit or fruits, either fresh, cured or dried, infected with insect pests or diseases injurious to trees, shrubs, plants, vines, fruit or vegetables, is guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. To Make Inspection More Effective. —An act to amend sections six, seven and eighteen of an Act entitled "An Act to Create and Establish a State Board of Horticulture, and Appropriate Money for the Expenses Thereof," approved March 13, 1883, and an Act amendatory thereof, approved February 18, 1885, and an amendatory Act thereof, approved March 7, 1897. The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Sec. 1. Section six of said Act is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 6. Said board shall biennially appoint from without their number a competent person, especially qualified to the duties of his office, who shall be known as State Horticultural Quarerianse. Insects, or any of them, or those above to destroy the same, or no application of treatment as direct fall, neglect, or refuse to do so they shall be deemed guilty taining a public nuisance, and proceeded against such. A son or persons who shall maintain public nuisance is guilty of misdoctrine. The court shall have power to direct the aforesaid quarantine or his associates, or the secretary said board, to abate the nuisance such officers are hereby authorised empowered to cause any and all nuisances to be at once abated in mary manner. The State Horticultural Officer shall be paid services as Horticultural Quarrier Officer two hundred dollars per month be paid as other State officer. Sec. 2. Section seven of said hereby amended to read as follows: Section 7. The said board shall point two assistants (to hold the pleasure of the board), who be invested with the same power quarantine officer, to carry provisions of this Act, and all relations thereto, rules and regimes of said board and shall obey instructions of the said board, thereby thereof, or the said quarantine officer, and perform such duties said board may direct. They are paid for their services as assisting horticultural quarantine officers, or dred and twenty-five dollars per month be paid as other State officer. Sec. 3. Section eighteen of said hereby amended to read as follows: Section 18. The said board commission as quarantine grant such person or persons as are county horticultural commissars inspectors by the various states of the State, or such persons as in their judgment deemed necessary to carry out visions of this Act, and all regulations in relation thereafter they are hereby conferred their power as is conferred by law quarantine officer and assistant board shall provide at合 places meetings of instruction purposes of imparting information needed subjects pertaining to horticultural interests of the State provide instructors in suitable manner that the board may be required son of 1897, were last year raised to from $15 to $25, the latter price being paid for clingstones, for which there existed an especial demand in the Eastern market. As a result of the establishment of the cannery, purchasers of fruit overran the valley, offering three times the prices prevailing the year before. While it had been almost impossible to sell during the season of 1897, last year growers of first-class fruit were simply deluged with offers to buy. So far as the employment of labor was concerned, the cannery payroll exceeded $600 per week often during last summer. Hundreds of hands were given employment, and from the fruit which had hitherto rotted in the fields, tens of thousands of dollars were disbursed to growers and laborers, and the money put in circulation in the community. And yet after the season is over there is a balance in the treasury of $1300, and the Directors could if they chose declare a dividend of 15 per cent upon the money invested. In Mr. Weisel's offer to purchase the cannery, the Directors and the stockholders see an opportunity for the enlargement of the idea which actuated them in inaugurating the enterprise. Mr. Weisel is a gentleman of large means, abundantly able to make an investment of, say, $25,000 at the outset for the erection of buildings necessary for the enterprise; for the purchase of fruit for the coming season's campaign, and for the countless other things that might be mentioned at the very outset. The cannery has made a splendid record for its first season's operations—in five years' time Mr. Weisel, what with the unlimited means at his command, could transform the business into one of the best paying institutions in the State of California. As we write, on Tuesday afternoon, the trade seems to be effected; Mr. Weisel takes the cannery at 80 cents on the dollar, the discount being made to him in view of the resultant good to the community consequent upon his investment of some $25,000 or $30,000 here. But let no one reflect that, because a sale is made at a discount, the property is anything but a gilt-edged investment. The cannery has a future roseate with promise and whether run as a private An act to amend sections six, seven and eighteen of an Act entitled "An Act to Create and Establish a State Board of Horticulture, and Appropriate Money for the Expenses Thereof," approved March 13, 1883, and an Act amendatory thereof, approved February 18, 1885, and an amendatory Act thereof, approved March 7, 1897. The people of the State of California, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Sec. 1. Section six of said Act is hereby amended to read as follows: Sec. 6. Said board shall biennially appoint from without their number a competent person, especially qualified to the duties of his office, who shall be known as State Horticultural Quarantine Officer, whose duty it shall be to carry out the provisions of this Act and all laws, rules and regulations of the aforesaid board in relation thereto, and is hereby given the power to inspect or cause to be inspected any orchard, or nursery, or trees, or fruit in any orchard or in any fruit packing house, storeroom, salesroom, warehouse, depot, or upon any dock, wharf, mole, or any other place within the limits of the State of California, and if found infected with scale insects, codlin moth, or its larvae, or other insect pests or diseases injurious to trees, shrubs, plants, vines, fruit or vegetables, the same shall there and then be liable to seizure and quarantine, and the owner or owners, or the person or persons, in charge or possession of said trees, shrubs, plants, vines, fruit or vegetables, or place as aforesaid, shall be notified that the same are infested with said insects, or any of them, or their eggs or larvae, and said officer shall require such person or persons to properly disinfect the same or destroy said trees, shrubs, plants, vines, fruits or vegetables within a certain period of time to be specified by said quarantine officer. If within such specified time such disinfection has not been accomplished, the said person or persons shall be required to make application of such treatment for the purpose of disinfecting or destroying the same as said quarantine officer may prescribe. Said notices may be served upon the person or persons owning or having charge or possession of such infested trees, shrubs, plants, vines, fruit or vegetables, or places, or articles, as aforesaid. By said quarantine officer, or by any person, as shall be commissioned by the State Board of Horticulture, or by the secretary thereof.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14—At the annual dinner given by the Fruit Auction Company to the fruit trade of New York last evening J. H. Schneider, in the course of his address, said: "The fruit trade has in the year just passed undoubtedly been amazed at the performance of California. We have received oranges from that State during every month of the year, and when we consider that five years ago scarcely a box of California citrus fruits could be disposed of here to advantage the growth of this trade alone is beyond comprehension of man. Out of a total output of 15,000 carloads of oranges and lemons in 1898 our city alone has disposed of 2000 carloads, or nearly a seventh of the entire crop." The Ravages of Grip.

Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you cannot get a better price for it? Ans.: As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much larger in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the only remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

The old saying that "there's many a slip twixt the cup and lip," was verified in Perris the other day, by a would-be bride backing down at the last moment. A marriage license had been issued to E. H.

All arrangements for the marriage were made and the honor of "tying the knot," was conferred upon Judge Geo. A. Doyle. Up to 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, the day of the ceremony, everything went smoothly along. The Judge was in his office, with his best Sunday-go-to-meeting coat and white cravat, ready to put on as soon as the carriage conveying the happy couple drove in sight, while the best man and two charming bridesmaids occupied seats, and ready to do the honors of the occasion. All the books and necessary papers, with pens and ink, were at hand, so that no hitch could occur. At 9 o'clock the groom arrived, alone, and rushing into the Judge's office, announced that the "woman had backed down." It seems that Mrs. Collins has been anxious to wed Raymond, and to force him to consent, threatened him with a suit for bacach of promise, claiming $8000 damages. She went so far as to consult an attorney, and some months ago that gentleman called upon Raymond in regard to the matter. The affair was compromised by Raymond consenting to marry Mrs. Collins on the 10th of January, 1899—and the ceremony ended as stated above. Our City Band.
