TWO MACS: BOTH COLONELS. Showing How Dr. Rowell of Fresno was not Chosen Republican Elector in the Seventh District. The San Francisco Call, which has an itching for printing "forecasts" of conventions, and generally gets them wrong, said the day before the Republican convention at Santa Cruz, after printing the photograph of Dr. Chester H. Rowell as the probable choice of the convention for Presidential Elector for the Seventh district: DR. ROWELL'S REFUSAL. Late tonight a curious complication arose in reference to the election of Presidential Electors. Dr. Chester H. Rowell of Fresno insists that the welfare of the party will not permit him to be Presidential Elector from the Seventh Congressional district. He declares that he will demand of his district convention that somebody farther south than he be elected to represent the district, and that Captain William McFadden of Santa Ana be chosen in his place. If Dr. Rowell carries out his threat it is likely to prove of little avail, as the delegates insist that he be chosen to represent their district. The prognostication, therefore, that Dr. Rowell will be the Presidential Elector from the Seventh district is more than likely to be true, notwithstanding his thought that geographical considerations make some one else than he better fitted to represent the district. If Mr. Spreckels had been present at the Seventh District Republican Congressional convention at Coronado Beach August 27th, he would not have been guilty of the several brands of mistakes occurring in this paragraph. That convention unanimously endorsed James McFadden, Esq., of Santa Ana as Presidential Elector from the Seventh district. No other name was mentioned, and the honor seemed by general consent to be conceded to Orange county. H. K. Snow of Tustin had been spoken of some days before, but on the Orange county delegation unanimously endorsing McFadden, the name of Snow was not further considered. Dr. Rowell was not present at the convention. He arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday preceding the day of the convention, along with the Fresno and other up-county delegations. Finding that the Sunday afternoon train had been taken off by an unfeeling railroad company, he telegraphed his credentials, along with the others of REPUBLICAN MEETING. To be Addressed by Dr. E. Markbreiter of Chicago in the German Language, and by Ex-Gov. Salomon in English. A rousing Republican meeting will be held at the Opera-house on Wednesday evening next, the 19th instant. The meeting will be addressed by Dr. E. Markbreiter of Chicago in the German language, and by ex-Gov. Salomon in English. Dr. Markbreiter is one of the most eloquent German orators in the country, and ex-Governor Salomon is well known as being one of the most forceful as well as eloquent orators in California. Turn out, everybody, and hear these gentlemen discuss the political issues of the day. Ladies are especially invited, and our German residents are requested to be on hand to hear in their own language the discussion of the many issues now engaging the attention of the people. Next Wednesday evening, the 19th, is the time. At the Opera-house. Fire at Dryer. On Friday evening at 7 o'clock an alarm of fire was rung in for a blaze at the dryer, which for a time threatened the destruction of the building. The fire was discovered by Billy Boyd, the night watchman, whose calls attracted the attention of Miss Stanton, living across the way. She rode down town upon her bicycle and gave the alarm. Louis Kroeger was on his way home when he heard her calls, and going to the fire house turned in the alarm. The hose cart was run out speedily, while the street filled hurriedly with people asking where the fire was. Someone said the cannery was on fire, and a general alarm was rung in. The waterworks was telephoned to apply the water pressure, and word came back that the pressure had been applied at the first tap of the bell. Everybody ran toward the cannery. Half way down to the drying establishment people were encountered coming back on their wheels, saying the fire had been put out. The fire was discovered in the sulphur ingress to the dryer, and was extinguished without any great damage. Fullerton Notes. Several people went to Long Beach Monday to attend the Woodman of the World picnic. The Epworth League gave an enter- FALL FARMERS' INSTITUTES. Fullerton, Garden Grove and Orange Visited This Week by the Professors of the University. Largely attended meetings of the Farmers' Institute were held at Fullerton on Monday evening and Tuesday, as well as at Garden Grove yesterday. The Institute will continue at the Grove today, and tomorrow and Saturday Orange will be the meeting place. Profs. Cook and Wickson, Mr. Sprague and other well-known authorities on horticulture and kindred topics are in attendance, and successful meetings are being held. Fullerton's first session began on Monday evening. Three sessions were held on Tuesday. Bank hall, where the meetings were held, was handsomely decorated with potted palms and shrubbery, and a display of fruits arranged upon tables stretching around the hall. For a dry year the display was very creditable indeed. Among the rest was a mammoth pumpkin weighing 162 pounds, raised without irrigation, which the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce spoke for as an addition to its permanent display. There were watermelons of ponderous size, bright walnuts of the present year's crop, and lovely oranges and grape fruit that compared with the best ever grown. Among the many exhibits were the following which were of more than usual prominence: E. S. Richman exhibited a watermelon which he said he would put against any melon in the county. The big 102-pound pumpkin was one of his displays. He also exhibited a number of Red Jersey sweet potatoes, American Sweet chestnuts, Mediterranean Sweet oranges, and three crops of navels. H. G. Wilshire—Several exhibits of grape fruit. Theo. Staley—Bunch of bananas, December peaches, perennial beans, summer squash, olives. J. C. Sheppard—Tomatoes, walnuts, Kelsey plums, pears, sweet potatoes, watermelon, Lemon Cling peaches. H. W. Schulz—Cuban Queen watermelon (52 pounds), largest at the institute; walnuts. C. C. Chapman—Valencia Late oranges, Villa Franca lemons. I. J. Marshall—Winter pineapple. Dr. Rowell was not present at the convention. He arrived in Los Angeles on the Sunday preceding the day of the convention, along with the Fresno and other up-county delegations. Finding that the Sunday afternoon train had been taken off by an unfeeling railroad company, he telegraphed his credentials, along with the others of his party, and returned north on the next train. If Dr. Rowell entertained ambitions to be a Presidential Elector, his choler at failing to catch the train placed an effectual estopper upon them. Captain Daniels had his Cash Harvey—Charles the First his Cromwell; see?—and Dr. Rowell had his Mr. Gregory of the Santa Fe Railroad company. Mr. Gregory is the gentleman responsible for all the ills in the maintenance of way of that rail road company. Secundus, as Joe Lynch used to say, it could not have been possible that Dr. Rowell favored the selection of Captain William McFadden for the honor of a Republican Presidential Elector—that gentleman had but recently returned from the Kansas City convention, where he shouted for Bryan, and incidentally caught a bad cold. He had to change his linen three times a day, so he says; and we never knew him to tell a lie. While at Kansas City he inveighed against trusts, yet he is a member of two of the biggest trusts in the State of California—the Southern California Citrus Fruit Exchange and the Walnut Growers' Trust. It's all right for Mac to belong to these institutions, which are essential to the successful growing of oranges and walnuts; but he frowns down upon the Ice Trust and Standard Oil—and so do we; and neither of them is protected by a tariff. At Kansas City he roomed on the fourth floor of the leading hotel. It was beastly hot, night and day. One night he heard the leaves of a tall maple tree rustling outside the window. He had raised the sash on retiring, but despite the breeze which he thought must be springing up, it grew more torrid all the time. He went to the window, and sure enough the leaves were swaying in what seemed to be a gentle breeze; but there was no breeze. (Mac was strictly sober.) Next morning he asked the landlord about the breeze that rustled the maple leaves. "Where did that breeze come from—and what became of it?" he asked, incredulously. "That wasn't no breeze," said the Kansas City man, adopting the brand of hot air most in favor in Missouri; "that was the heat from the earth rising from the ground." Mac took the next train for the Pacific Coast. And that's the difference between the two Macs—and neither of them is a Captain; both are Colonels. Medicos Meet. The monthly meeting of the Orange Fullerton Notes. Several people went to Long Beach Monday to attend the Woodman of the World picnic. The Epworth League gave an entertainment in the Bank hall Friday evening, consisting of music, games and contests. Ice-cream, coffee and sandwiches were served. About 100 people were present. The St. George hotel will open up this week. The hotel is refitted and refurnished. The grounds and walks are all cleaned and in first-class order. Mrs. Amerige went to Los Angeles Monday to secure kitchen help. An addition is being built to the Hotel Reception. Mr. Bolz says he will run a pool room, a barber shop and a sample room. The new addition will contain about 15 rooms up stairs and the pool room, parlor and sample room downstairs. E.W. Dean has been taking a vacation at Long Beach the past week. The Masonic hall will soon be completed. It is one of the finest buildings in Orange county. James Healing is organizing the Foresters of America lodge here. Walnut picking has begun. A large crop is expected. Unfounded Report. ANAHEIM, Cal., Sept. 11, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE: There seems to be a current report to the effect that I had sold my office and would discontinue the practice of dentistry in Anaheim Oct. 1st. I wish to state that such report is untrue; that I have not sold my office, and at the present moment do not expect to discontinue my practice on the above date. Should any change be made in my business affairs, I will be pleased to make such announcement through the columns of your valued paper. Respectfully, DR. MENGES-BOYD. Walnuts. At a meeting of the directors of the Deciduous Fruit association of Anaheim held on Saturday, Sept. 8th, Geo.A Hunter was appointed manager of the walnut-packing house at the old Southern Pacific depot, where the packing has been done for several years. The warehouse will be opened on Oct. 1st. Mr. Hunter will call on the different members of the association soon to get an estimate of the quantity of walnuts in this year's crop. Slot Machines. The Supervisors of Orange county have adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of slot machines within the county. The ordinance takes effect Sept. 20. It does not affect the machines at Santa Ana, the Supervisors having no jurisdiction over incorporated municipalities. Anaheim having already banished the machines, Santa Ana is the only town in the county having these modern attributes of civilization. Where IS Ellery? The waterworks was telephoned to apply the water pressure, and word came back that the pressure had been applied at the first tap of the bell. Everybody ran toward the cannery.

The monthly meeting of the Orange County Medical Association was held some evenings ago in the office of Dr. W. B. Wood, at Orange. There were present Drs. Medlock, Ball, Berneike, Lacy and Dryer, Santa Ana; Dr. Geo. S. Eddy, Anaheim; Dr. Wm. Freeman, Fullerton; Dr. W. V. Marshburn, El Modena; Drs. H. S. Gordon and F. E. Wilson, Westminster; Drs. W. B. Wood, W. H. Parker and Frank L. Wood, Orange. Dr. W. B. Wood read a paper and afterwards gave an interesting clinic with the X ray. The association was organized eleven years ago, and has been a great factor in promoting professional harmony and good fellowship among the doctors of the county. Dr. W. B. Wood is president and Dr. J. L. Dryer secretary. The next meeting will be in Westminster in October. Smyrna Figs. Efforts have been made for years to produce self-pollinated Smyrna figs, but the efforts have been without success until the past year a Fresno fig grower is said to have achieved success at it. For years he pollinated his few Smyrna fig trees by hand. This close attention, together with the introduction of the imported blastophaga, has finally rewarded his efforts by the introduction of a pollinated Smyrna fig. It is claimed this fig will not sour, and for this reason it is bound to become a much more profitable crop than in years past. Prof. Newton B. Pierce has a sample box from Fresno and is delighted with their superior flavor. He is of opinion the fig industry will receive an impetus. Dentistry. A new dental office has been opened in the Metz block by Dr. C. V. Doolittle who comes from Los Angeles. Whether you are in need of any dentistry or not you are cordially invited to call on him. He makes no charge for examination and consultation. Slot Machines. The Supervisors of Orange county have adopted an ordinance prohibiting the use of slot machines within the county. The ordinance takes effect Sept. 20. It does not affect the machines at Santa Ana, the Supervisors having no jurisdiction over incorporated municipalities. Anaheim having already banished the machines, Santa Ana is the only town in the county having these modern attributes of civilization. Where IS Ellery? HOUSTON, Tex., Sept. 4, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir—I am looking for the heirs of Joseph Ellery, who was in Shelby county, Texas, in 1840. Any information will be received with thanks. Yours truly, HENRY MALMGREN. 1506 Chartres st. State Shoot. The members of Company E held their first State shoot on Tuesday at the range on the Pomona road beyond Fullerton. Good scores were made, a number of the guardsmen scoring high enough to put them in line for receiving bronze bars offered for excellence in marksmanship. Soil Map. Thomas H. Means, assistant in the division of soils, Department of Agriculture, under Prof Whitney as chief of the division, is at Santa Ana to make a soil map of the Santa Ana valley which is intended to show the depth of water, per cent of soluble matter in the soil, per cent of white or black alkali, if any; depth to hardpan, where it exists, and nature of different surf deposits. The map will extend from a line drawn north and south through Westminster to the foothills on the east, and from the mouth of the Santa Ana river to a point below El Toro. It will require several months' work to secure sufficient data. Mr. Means has just completed investigations in Fresno county for data to be used in the making of a similar map for that section. Aside from one large ranch near Oxnard, in Ventura county, these maps have been made in no other portions of the State. Mr. Means came to Orange largely through the representations of Prof. Newton B. Pierce, government pathologist, who has been located in the county for twelve years in the service of the United States government. Music. Invocation...Rev.

A royal welcome awaits all, and probably a large attendance will be present. Two bees will be roasted. There will be speechmaking and a ball in the evening. Oil Notes. A great strike has been made in Brea canyon. The Brea Canyon Oil company’s well No. 5, at a depth of only 450 feet, some days ago struck a flow of oil that raised within 10 feet of the surface. They expect a large flowing well with a few more strokes of the drill. This is the greatest strike made for some time. Mr. Kellerman will have the tools working in the Union Oil company’s well No. 13, this week. Anti-Saloon. It is said a sufficient number of names Net cost to company. Average cost per foot, 13½ cents. To constructing 1390 feet of cement ditch on the north line of the S. Kraemer tract, to labor. To 49 bins Colton cement at $3 and 1 of Gillingham at $3.60. By 196 sacks returned at 10 cents. Net cost to company. Average cost per foot, 18-18 cents. Gentlemen:—Owing to the fact that we are suffering a loss of water during this irrigation season by the Tuffree reservoir being in such deplorable condition, and seeing the absolute necessity in saving our water in every way possible, I hereby earnestly recommend that said reservoir be cleaned out as soon as possible, and that the earth removed be placed on lower bank, and that the discharge of the water from ditch be placed at upper end instead of being at lower end of reservoir as it is at present, thereby greatly increasing the capacity of same. Respectfully submitted, J.M.Woodward,Supt. The board opened bids for the lease of oil land, and referred them to its Oil committee, consisting of Cargill and Bradford. Oil on Chino Ranch. A strike of oil has been made on the Chino ranch which opens up a new field for the oil industry. The well is being drilled on ranch land by the Chino Land and Water company. At a depth of a little over 500 feet light oil was struck. About 600 feet is the depth of the well at present, and baling oil and drilling are in progress. The casing used is 11½ inch. Those in charge are confident that at a depth of 1200 feet the well will be a fine producer. The well is about nine miles east of the Puente oil wells. The first effect find will have will be the installation of a number of other drilling rigs in that vicinity. Nearly all the land in that section is already leased for oil development. Married. Wm. Schulte, one of the best-known residents of Orange county, was married in this city some days ago to Mrs. Emma Smith, recently from Nebraska. The groom is a lively young man of 68, and the bride has seen the bright side of fifty fair summers. Rev. G.W. Coultas officiated. After the ceremony all hands sat down to a collation, at which the health of bride and groom was pledged by all present. Mr. and Mrs. Schulte after a pleasant sojourn at Coronado Beach have returned to their home on Orangethorpe avenue where they will take up their permanent residence. R.
