The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... JUNE 21, 1900. CONGRESSMAN NEEDHAM. The delegation from this district at the State convention unanimously endorsed Congressman Needham and advocated his renomination and re-election. With this endorsement, with no other candidate, apparently, seeking to enter the field, and with the recommendation of his own excellent record, the renomination of Mr. Needham may be taken as already assured and his re-election as certain as anything political can ever be prior to the closing of the polls. Mr. Needham has made a very faithful, energetic and successful Representative, and should be re-elected. He has made it his duty to look out for the interests of his district, and has had extremely good fortune in getting what he went after. Mr. Needham is now at work upon a system of rural mail delivery for Orange county. Santa Ana and Fullerton have petitions in, asking for the establishment of free delivery routes in those sections, and Anaheim will ask for a route, embracing West Anaheim, Magnolia, Clair Centralia, Garden Grove, and other sections probably, before Congress again assembles in December. Our Congressman is the man to push this project through Congress. It would be a fatal mistake not to re-elect him, and that by a rousing majority. Congressman Needham deserves re-election for the earnest and honest work he has done for his constituents. His district is as large as some States in the Union, with a great diversity of interests, yet he has accomplished something for every portion of it. With the securing of the passage of the bill to divide the judicial district of Southern California into two districts, Congressman Needham has given another proof that he has in- IRRIGATION MATTERS. The success of the efforts of the National Irrigation association to secure an increase of the appropriation of the United States geological survey, for irrigation surveys and a thorough investigation of the water resources of the United States, in the session of Congress just closed, must be a revelation to those who have heretofore assumed that the national irrigation movement could not secure support in the East. The effort to secure the increase of this important appropriation was instituted by that association. The merchants of Los Angeles, St. Paul and Omaha, and Eastern commercial interests took the matter up, and through their influence in the organization of strength for the measure all over the country, an appropriation of $100,000 was obtained. In the Senate the appropriation had been passed for $250,000, but the conference committee reduced it to $100,000. The friends of the measure intend to renew the demand for the full $250,000 in the next session. When the matter was under discussion in the House, Congressmen who favored the measure took occasion to announce that larger appropriations must be hereafter made, and as one expressed it, "the sooner they are made the better for the country." It seems strange—in fact, there must be something abnormal in the situation in California which prevents the people of this State from grasping the grand possibilities of the national irrigation movement for the development of the State. Other Western States see it—Eastern business men see it—but some strange apathy seems to possess the California people—more especially those of the San Joaquin valley and upper California. If they would only realize it, a tithe of the energy they fritter away in other directions would, if concentrated in the national irrigation movement, bring appropriations large enough for a complete hydrographic survey of the whole State. The problem to be PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. E. B. Merritt and daughter Eva leave tomorrow for Dixon, Illinois, to visit with relatives. She will be absent some two months. Fred E. Blodgett of Los Angeles and Miss Gertrude E. Diffenderfer of Tustin were married on Saturday evening at the home of the bride's parents in Tustin. Mrs. Luedke has been seriously ill of erysipelas at her home for a fortnight past. An abscess has formed and she was yesterday in quite a critical condition. Miss Regina Harris of Santa Ana visited with friends in town last week, and was the guest of Mrs. Konig. Miss Harris is the fiancee of our esteemed fellow townsman, William Falkenstein. Richard Chadwick, William Muskerry and Tilson and Alfred Beyfus have brought suit against H. G. Wilshire of Los Angeles to recover $19,000, together with interest, counsel fees, etc., on account of foreclosing a mortgage on property located in the Fullerton district. W. M. McFadden was successful in his contest in the State convention at Sacramento last week for selection as a delegate to the Democratic national convention from the Seventh district of California. He leaves for Kansas City with the State delegation the latter part of the month. The boys say that if Bryan is elected Mac will be appointed Minister to Mexico. W. G. Curtis, maintenance-of-way engineer of the Southern Pacific company, and the confidential assistant of General Manager Julius Kruttschnitty died at Highland Springs on Friday last from paralysis. The parents of deceased were old-time residents of Anaheim, where the deceased, though never a resident here, was favorably known by numerous friends. Mons. B. Moullot was in town from his ranch at Buena Park on Monday. Mons. Moullot looks for an interesting campaign this Fall. He is against trusts, and thinks the adoption of the free-silver idea would smash them soon as it was adopted. He is anti-imperialism, anti-expansion, anti-trust and for Bryan to sit in the presidential chair. Bully for Moullot, but we think McKinley has a clinch. Adolph Rimpau was in Los Angle on Monday, in consultation with the directors of the oil company which bears his name. He reports a gratifying state of the affairs in the company Drilling operations will begin as soon as the necessary machinery may be go- Congressman Needham deserves re-election for the earnest and honest work he has done for his constituents. His district is as large as some States in the Union, with a great diversity of interests, yet he has accomplished something for every portion of it. With the securing of the passage of the bill to divide the judicial district of Southern California into two districts, Congressman Needham has given another proof that he has influence at Washington, and that he is using it for his constituents. The bill was opposed by both the Judges of this judicial district, and only by persistent efforts was Mr. Needham able to get it promptly called up and finally passed. The law goes into effect Jung 30th, and establishes a new court at Fresno. This will be a great saving in time as well as expense to those of the San Joaquin valley who have federal court business. When the convention meets the Republicans of the Seventh district can do no better than to recognize Mr. Needham's work by a nomination. FINANCIAL NOTES. Treasury receipts of the United States for May amounted to $45,166,053.22, of which customs contributed $17,396,573.28. The receipts for the current fiscal year amounted to $517,553,115.94, against $469,089,829.99 in the preceding year. The expenditures for May were $40,351,523.36, and for the current fiscal year $454,218,498.57, as against $573,709,972.64 for the corresponding period of the preceding year. There has been a falling off in the item, "war expenditures," of nearly $100,000,000 since July 1, 1899, as compared with the amount spent for the same purpose in the same period of 1898. A year ago the deficit for eleven months was $104,620,000. This year the surplus is $63,334,617 for eleven months. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business May 31, 1900, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,122,608,811, a decrease for the month of $2,193,274, which is accounted for by the redemption of bonds. The amount of bonds so far exchanged at the treasury for the new 2 per cent bonds of 1930 is $286,365,850, of which $64,560,400 were received from individuals and institutions other than national banks. The amount of old 2 per cent bonds so far redeemed at the treasury is $510,500. Total cash, $1,104,261,826. The monthly statement of the Comptroller of the Currency shows for the development of the State. Other Western States see it—Eastern business men see it—but some strange apathy seems to possess the California people—more especially those of the San Joaquin valley and upper California. If they would only realize it, a tithe of the energy they fritter away in other directions would, if concentrated in the national irrigation movement, bring appropriations large enough for a complete hydrographic survey of the whole State. The problem to be solved is one of gigantic national importance, and must be solved along national lines. California needs only to swing into line with the national movement, and back her Senators and Representatives up to co-operate in a bold and aggressive demand for liberal appropriations for this great work. Broader, better and quicker results can be had in this way than by any effort to mix State politics up with it through State appropriations. The National Irrigation association through its membership all over the United States has secured an increase in this session which doubles the usual appropriation. In the next session it can be raised to $250,000 and appropriations for construction obtained in addition, if the people of California will stand by the national irrigation movement. They must realize that the influence of Western Congressmen in the House is insufficient to demand and secure such appropriations. Eastern support must be had, and the only way to get it is through the plans of the National Irrigation association to interest the commercial and manufacturing interests of the East. Of course the people of California must back up their Senators and Congressmen in standing by a demand for irrigation appropriations and asking for Eastern support for the demand. It is impossible to hold the support of the East unless the West is loyal to its own interests and takes a bold and inflexible stand in its demands for the inauguration of the national irrigation policy. Local Dots. The children of Epworth league picnicked in Santa Ana canyon on Saturday last. A party of Santa Ana citizens have been in the Bakersfield oil region to examine a tract of land for which they are negotiating. Henry Gibbs of Westminster has begun suit in the Superliver Court against the Earl Fruit company to recover $850 alleged to be due for the purchase of celery last October. The Soquel Canyon company has had very hard luck recently. After fishing for a string of tools for several weeks, has finally abandoned the hole and is for the development of the State.

Girl Held Up. Bertha Watson, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Watson of Olive, was held up one evening last week while on her bicycle from attending school at Olive. She was riding along the road east of Olive, when two men, who had been hiding behind a telegraph pole, jumped into the road. While one of them led her off to one side of the road the other took possession of her wheel. After taking it up the road a short distance he came back to where she and the other man were standing. The men then talked in a language which she did not understand, at the same time relieving her of a small gold ring which she wore on one of her fingers. At this juncture the man who had been holding her by the arm released his grip, and jerking away from him she ran quickly to her wheel and mounted it, soon distancing her pursuers. One of the men called out to her that the next time they caught her she would not fare so well as she did this time. One of the men was heavy set; the other was tall and slender, and wore a light mustache. The men made their way across the river bed to Yorba, where they were seen to take the train for Riverside. On Monday Sheriff Coburn of that city telegraphed Sheriff Laoy that he had apprehended two men answering to the description of the rogues. However an inspection the next day showed they were not the guilty parties, and they were released. For July 4th, 1900, The Southern Pacific company will sell round-trip tickets between Anaheim and stations distant 125 miles or less for one fare and one-third. Date of sale-July 2d, 3d and 4th. Return trip limit, July 5th. To Los Angeles the rate will be $1.10, and to Santa Ana 35 cents, for the round trip. Obtain a probably more accurate determination of the sun's velocity through space. As is well known, the velocity of a star in the line of sight can be found by measuring the displacement of the lines visible in the star's spectrum. Now, the stars near the position of the solar "apex" should be approaching the earth on account of the solar motion, and those at the opposite point of the sky, called the "ant apex," should be receding. This method has been employed by several astronomers, especially by Vogel at the Potsdam observatory. This able astronomer has found from an examination of 40 stars that the sun's velocity through space is about 7½ miles a second, but an examination of a larger number of stars would be necessary before we could consider this result as thoroughly established. From an examination of the spectra of 14 nebulae Professor Keeler of the Lick observatory has found velocities in the line of sight, and from these the French astronomer Fisserand has deduced a velocity of about 9 1-3 miles for the solar motion, a result which does not differ widely from that found by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps conclude that the velocity of the sun's motion through space is between 6 and 12 miles per second.-Gentleman's Magazine. The Laugh on the General. The late General Clinton B. Fisk was once addressing a Sunday school convention. One of the speakers had reminded the children that it was Washington's birthday. "Children," said General Fisk, "you all know that Washington was a general. Perhaps you know that I am also a general. Now, can any one tell what was the difference between General Washington and myself?" "I know, sir," replied a small boy in the back part of the room. "Well, what was the difference?" said General Fisk, smiling at the lad's eagerness. "George Washington couldn't tell a lie, sir!" cried the boy in exultant tones.
