The new franchise bill passed by the Legislature is now in effect, and the franchise petitioned for by the Santa Ana Gas and Electric company, at present under consideration by the City Trustees, will be bid off under the terms of the new law. The proceedings in the franchise petitioned for by the Los Angeles and Santa Ana electric railway, which were in course of publication at the time the new law went into effect, will be continued under the terms of the old law, there being no provision made requiring a change where such matters are under consideration by governing bodies at the time of the going into effect of the new law. This is the only case in the State, so far as known, where a franchise is in course of enactment at the time of the change in the governing law. One of the changes brought about by the new law will be noted in the following wording of the resolution adopted by the Trustees concerning the franchise for the gas and electric company: Provided only, that at the time of the opening of said bids any responsible firm or corporation present, or represented, may bid for said franchise or privilege a sum not less than ten percent above the highest sealed bid therefor, and said bid so made may be raised ten per cent by any other responsible bidder, and said franchise or privilege shall finally be struck off, sold and granted by said Board of Trustees, to the highest bidder therefor. Under the old law, bidders (if there were more than one) were not given the right to raise one another. This is permitted under the new law, and thus the best bid, on being opened in the usual competition, may be raised ten per cent, and again raised until the limit is reached. This all puts money in the city treasury—providing more than one special mission, following in this respect the practice of other events, may be determined upon. Instructions to this end have been sent to Mr. Gummere, as well as a further instruction to demand an apology for an apparent discounty on the part of the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in attempting to defeat the purpose of the State Department to dispatch a special minister to Morocco City. The armored crusier New York, with Admiral Rogers aboard, is rapidly nearing Gibraltar, with every prospect of reaching Tangier by the end of this week. She will take Mr. Gummere abroad and convey him to Mazargan, where the Consul-General will disembark and go overland to the Moorish capital. Then the New York will remain at Mazargan under his orders until some sort of settlement is reached and Mr. Gummere has been notified to this effect. The census bulletin giving the area of counties in the United States, which has just been received, dispels the claim that has all along been made that San Bernardino is the largest county. That honor falls to Custer county, Montana, which heads the list with a geographical area of 20,490 square miles. San Bernardino follows second, with an extent of 19,-947 square miles, occupying, as it does, more than an eighth of the entire territorial extent of the State of California, and being 26½ times the size of Orange county. Its area is greater than that of the four States of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Rhode Island combined. If to the geographical extent of these States we add half the area of Massachusetts, San Bernardino will still have a greater extent by more than 500 square miles than this combined area. Two other counties approach closely the area of this gigantic political division of California, viz., Lincoln, Nev., with an area of 19,-437; and Coconino, Ariz., with 19,-322 square miles. DISAPPEARANCE OF S The Late Mr. Guenther Had That Aof Money In His Trunk—Who Became Of It? Lawrence Boldt, to whom his late Lorenz Guenther, bequeathed his property, has rather an unstory to tell regarding the mystery disappearance of $700 in gold which deceased is supposed to hail in his trunk at his home the day death. It is known that deceased k savings in his trunk. When a r visited here a year or more ago, fered him an amount estimated or $500, which he said might be good use in his relative's business latter refused to accept the month its owner might have use for self. Two days before Mr. Guenther he became very restless asked for relatives who were not ent. To a faithful watcher by his side (a niece) he said: "In that trunk there is $700 I desire to be left to you and my relatives." "Where are the keys?" he was. He replied, "There is time yet for that." The trunk had not been opening his illness. It was never our sight. He desired that it remained until such time as his co-gave no further hope for recovery. A search for the keys through household failed to reveal their abouts. The family hunted him low for them, but they could found. Mr. Guenther died on Wednesday 6th, two days after confiscation of the money in the trunk niece. After the funeral the trunk broken open. Papers which then had referred to were there; money was gone. A short time later the family—the keys lying upon the floor off in the room, where it appeared had been thrown. The matter has not been repaired by police. The question arises: Mr. Guenther right in his story that the trunk contained $700; money been taken by some one that time, or was it abstracted for trunk between the time of his statement and the day of his death. The family are perplexed and able to understand it. It is kn Under the old law, bidders (if there were more than one) were not given the right to raise one another. This is permitted under the new law, and thus the best bid, on being opened in the usual competition, may be raised ten per cent, and again raised until the limit is reached. This all puts money in the city treasury—providing more than one bidder wants the franchise. Another change in the new law provides that "no clause or condition of any kind shall be inserted in any franchise * * * which shall directly or indirectly restrict free and open competition." This does away with the provision in the old law, which stipulated that the purchasers of a franchise must operate in conjunction with the person or corporation originally bidding for it. Thus in the case now under consideration no one could bid, under the terms of the old law, for the franchise before the Trustees except the gas and electric company asking for it. As it is now, bidding is open to all who may desire to raise the gas and electric company's bid ten per cent. The franchise for the electric railway being under the old law, no outside bids will be received. This was in the nature of a "bug" in the old bill, favoring certain corporations in the State. However, the new law is understood to contain a "bug" of somewhat similar dimensions, in this: that it is provided that all franchises must be advertised in any "city and county, city or town;" which simply eliminates the provisions of the law, so far as making franchises public is concerned, from every county in the State except San Francisco, that being the only "city and county" in the State. How the Legislature could have made such a stupid blunder (not to characterize it by any harsher term) is, like the fact that Loud's postal bill should have passed the House of Representatives at Washington, past finding out. Another change in the new law may be referred to as being of interest here. Section 3 provides, "that if the franchise be a renewal of a right already in existence, the payment of said percentage of gross receipts [2 per cent] shall begin at once." The gas and electric company have been operating under a temporary franchise for two years past, and are now applying for a permanent right to operate their business in this city. The question arises, would the award of a permanent franchise be in the nature of a "renewal of a right," and The road funds of this district are shy $6000 as a result of the storm and overflow of November. It has taken that amount to reconstruct and repair the nine bridges destroyed during that freshet. Supervisor Potter is now reckoning up the cost of the storm, and finds the district is out this surprising sum, which would otherwise be expended upon the improvement of the roads. The bridge at Yorba was left high and dry, the river's current cutting around it. On the Coyote creek five new bridges States of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Rhode Island combined. If to the geographical extent of these States we add half the area of Massachusetts, San Bernardino will still have a greater extent by more than 500 square miles than this combined area. Two other counties approach closely the area of this gigantic political division of California, viz., Lincoln, Nev., with an area of 19,437; and Coconino, Ariz., with 19,-322 square miles. The population of San Bernardino is 27,929; that of the four States first named, 3,687,010. Massachusetts has a population of 2,805,346, approximately twice that of California, which has 1,485,053. Orange county has a territorial area of 750 square miles, being one of the smallest in California. Its population is 19,696. Riverside has an area of 7323 square miles, being 94 times the size of Orange. Its population is 17,987. San Diego is 8478 square miles in extent, more than eleven times the area of Orange county. Its population is 35,090. San Francisco is the smallest county geographically in the State, having an area of only 47 miles. Its population is the greatest, viz., 342,-782. Alpine has an extent of 710 square miles, and the smallest population in the State, 509. Compared with the census of 1890, Alpine has lost 158 inhabitants in ten years.

Los Angeles covers an extent of 4202 square miles, and has a population of 170,298 inhabitants. The Southern part of the State has advanced in population many fold more than the north, many of the counties of which section have retrograded in the ten years since the last census. The road funds of this district are shy $6000 as a result of the storm and overflow of November. It has taken that amount to reconstruct and repair the nine bridges destroyed during that freshet.

Section 3 provides, "that if the franchise be a renewal of a right already in existence, the payment of said percentage of gross receipts [2 per cent] shall begin at once." The gas and electric company have been operating under a temporary franchise for two years past, and are now applying for a permanent right to operate their business in this city. The question arises, would the award of a permanent franchise be in the nature of a "renewal of a right," and would the company therefore have to pay its stipend into the city treasury immediately, or does the five year clause hold good? Another point of difference between the two laws lies in the amount of percentage of receipts to be paid the municipality for the privilege of operating the franchise. The old law made it 3 per cent, and the franchise of the electric railway will be bid off April 9th under those provisions, with no ten per cent raises on the part of outsiders. The new law makes it 2 per cent, and the gas and electric franchise will be bid off some weeks later, under those conditions. Verily the law is at times a very strange and a very wonderful thing. The State Department is giving renewed attention to the settlement of the claims against the Government of Morocco. The claim of Marcus Ezagni, who was murdered at Fez in June last, has been adjusted by the payment of $5000, but there are other claims equally meritorious which have not been satisfactorily adjusted. Recently the State Department gave these consideration, all efforts on the part of Mr. Gummere, the Consul-General at Tangier, to adjust them having proved ineffective. Under these circumstances a road funds of this district are shy $6000 as a result of the storm and overflow of November. It has taken that amount to reconstruct and repair the nine bridges destroyed during that freshet. Supervisor Potter is now reckoning up the cost of the storm, and finds the district is out this surprising sum, which would otherwise be expended upon the improvement of the roads. The bridge at Yorba was left high and dry, the river's current cutting around it. On the Coyote creek five new bridges and two old ones were carried away and destroyed. One of the old ones was swept down the channel, and striking the other, which had stood the storms of twenty years, turned it around and demolished it. The creek cut its way around some of the structures to a depth of fourteen feet and twelve feet wide. A bridge east of Fullerton and another east of Placentia were destroyed, making nine in all, not including that at Yorba, which, while left intact, required a considerable expense to place it in serviceable condition. A week or two ago the Kansas Legislature received from King Edward of England a message tendering his thanks for "loyalty and sympathy" in the passage of resolutions on Queen Victoria's death. The Legislature after a long wrangle, expunged the message from the record because of the "loyalty" clause. Last week a joint committee of the Legislature received through Embassador Choate an apology from the King, who explains that a clerk in his secretary's office sent by mistake a form of message which had been drawn up for his own subjects. The apology was accepted and diplomatic relations between Kansas and England have been resumed. Born March 14th to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Kraemer, a son. SAPPEARANCE OF $700. Late Mr. Guenther Had That Amount of Money in His Trunk—What Became of It? Lawrence Boldt, to whom his uncle, late Lorenz Guenther, bequeathed property, has rather an uncanny ability to tell regarding the mysterious appearance of $700 in gold coin, which deceased is supposed to have had his trunk at his home the day of his death. It is known that deceased kept his things in his trunk. When a relative mentioned here a year or more ago, he offered him an amount estimated at $400,500, which he said might be put to use in his relative's business. The owner refused to accept the money, saying its owner might have use for it himself. Two days before Mr. Guenther's death he became very restless, and needed for relatives who were not presided over. To a faithful watcher by his bed (a niece) he said: In that trunk there is $700, which desire to be left to you and my other relatives." Where are the keys?" he was asked. He replied, "There is time enough for that." The trunk had not been opened during his illness. It was never out of his sight. He desired that it remain unopened until such time as his condition no further hope for recovery. A search for the keys throughout the household failed to reveal their whereabouts. The family hunted high and low for them, but they could not be found. Mr. Guenther died on Wednesday, March 6th, two days after confiding the story of the money in the trunk to his niece. After the funeral the trunk was broken open. Papers which the dead man had referred to were there, but the money was gone. A short time later the family found the keys lying upon the floor of a closet in the room, where it appeared they had been thrown. The matter has not been reported to the police. The question arises, Was Mr. Guenther right in his statement that the trunk contained $700; had the money been taken by some one before that time, or was it abstracted from the trunk between the time of his making the statement and the day of his death? The family are perplexed and are unable to understand it. It is known despite being a large sum of money in Graham & Loftus will soon have another well ready for the pump. The Puente Oil company has had good luck with its new well near the machine shops, having struck oil some little time ago. A new well has been commenced south of the Santa Fe lease by the Olinda Crude Oil company. Drilling has been resumed on wells 23 and 24 of the Santa Fe lease, and the bed of quicksand has been passed through. For the past ten days one of the new wells on the Brea canyon lease has been flowing at the rate of 150 barrels daily. The Santa Fe company commenced spudding on well 25 last week. Another new well is on the pump, which is producing daily between 50 and 60 barrels of high gravity oil. The Union company has commenced spudding on a well in the eastern part of its lease in Brea canyon. The Juanita company is at last successful. It has struck a fine well at Summerland, and has derricks up and machinery on the ground for four more wells. The company is arranging for 40 acres in the heart of the Fullerton field, near the Santa Fe wells, and has just closed a deal for some valuable land in Summerland. There are many stockholders in this county. THE GOVERNOR'S POWER. Held: the Legislature Down to Rigid Economy. The thirty-fourth session of the Legislature was concluded at midnight on Saturday. Though it has been devolved of the exciting incidents which marked the special session and the session of 1899, much legislation of great importance to the State has been accomplished. Though there has been much criticism, and though there has been the usual flood of mischievous bills, the results of the session as a whole must be satisfactory to the people of the State. As a rule, there has been little difficulty in heading off pernicious legislation, and Governor Gage has at all times stood inflexibly for economy and good government. He has been the dominating influence of the session. His well-known determination to allow no extravagance in the expenditure of State funds has been a constant check upon wasteful and unnecessary appropriations.

It is understood the new owners will begin forthwith an extensive development of the territory for oil. CALIFORNIA. New York Sun. They say that California is sending ranges to Rochester, N.Y., and taking them back again in the form of a warmalade. The question is asked why California does not make her marmalade at home and save transportation of raw material and the manufactured product. Though there has been little difficulty in heading off pernicious legislation, and Governor Gage has at all times stood inflexibly for economy and good government. He has been the dominating influence of the session. His well-known determination to allow no extravagance in the expenditure of State funds has be a constant check upon wasteful and unnecessary appropriations. The bills which he caused to be introduced for the purpose of definitely and finally disposing of the foolish bubonic plague scare were carried in both houses, despite the desperate efforts of the Democratic minority and the anti-administration Republicans to defeat them, for political purposes. Of his two score veto messages, everyone has been sustained. As the result of his policy of retrenchment and economy, the legislature has given to the people the lowest tax rate in the history of the State. Santa Ana's Election.

The horticulturists of Washington are becoming anxious over the spread of San Jose scale, and it is feared that unless something is done to stamp out it, it will become a serious menace in all the river valleys of the Northwest. The state horticulturist has taken the matter in hand, and hopes to secure a remedy for the evil before it gets any great hold on the orchards. Within three years, or since the pest was first noticed, it has grown to such an extent that in several localities the fruit growers will have all they can do to keep it down this year. The most serious phase of the matter is that the insect has begun to infest the natural growth of deciduous forest trees, and also weeds and other natural vegetation. The orchards in Snake River valley, Columbia river valley and in the Walla Walla district, are said to be badly infested, and the orchardists of these sections are facing a serious crisis.

New York Sun: They say that California is sending ranges to Rochester, N.Y., and taking them back again in the form of a marmalade. The question is asked why California does not make her marmalade at home and save transportation of the raw material and the manufactured product. The reason is because California has not been able to do everything in a half century. She builds fine ships as the world turns out; she makes her number, flour, ready-made clothing, wine, and many other things. By and by she will make marmalade. She may sweeten it with California beet sugar, and thus need not go abroad for any of its ingredients. Less than sixty years ago the Mexican settlers in California had nothing to sell except hides and tallow. Hides that they sent round the Cape Horn to Boston came back round the Horn again in the shape of boots and shoes. They raised the fine grapes that grow on California valleys, but drank very bad wine imported from Boston. Mexican silver and hides were the circulating medium, and calf skins were known to sailors as "California bank notes." The settlers paid three times as much for every commodity they bought as the goods were retailed for in our Atlantic ports. Men who were babies in those primitive days are not very old yet; but California is almost self-sufficing now. Her manufactures have grown with the vast increase in population, and serve not only the utilities of life but the refinements and luxuries as well. That glided State makes pianos and jewelry, and one may confidently predict that California marmalade will be evoured in the near future. Money to Loan. In sums to suit. Apply to F. A. Banks, Jr., Secretary Building and Loan Association, Anaheim, Cal. 10-tf Suit Settled. A controversy between San Bernardino and Riverside counties has been settled by a judgment made in the Los Angeles Superior court in favor of San Bernardino.

Sunday evening, at Downey, three women and two men, guests at a wedding, were severely injured by falling over a harrow, which had been placed, teeth up, in front of the hall. The wedding was that of M. Cohn of the firm of Cohn & Boland, tailors, and Miss Rose Cohn, eldest daughter of S. Cohn, a wholesale butcher of Downey. Some of the most influential Jewish residents of Los Angeles attended the ceremonies, which were performed by Rabbi Hecht of that city at Workmen's hall, several hundred guests being present. After the wedding the guest left the hall to go to Woodmen's hall, where a banquet had been spread. In leaving the entrance a large party stumbled over the harrow, which had been overturned at the entrance by unknown persons, and S. Benioff and S. Frankel of Los Angeles and Miss Cohn, a sister of the bride, and two other young ladies fell upon the sharp teeth. They were shockingly cut and scraped, and Benioff's left hand was punctured. Correction Due. Miss Melanie Cahen participated in a concert given at Santa Ana on Friday evening, singing a soprano solo, "The Swallows," in excellent voice and with good effect. She was accompanied upon the piano by her tutor, Miss Minna Roper. The Santa Ana Blade in referring to the concert says the song was most beautifully rendered, but erroneously gives credit therefor to Miss Bess Welch. Miss Welch did not participate in the concert. The Blade owes itself a correction. Card of Thanks. I desire to return my heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their kindness and sympathy expressed during the time of my recent bereavement, consequent upon the death of my wife.

How Harry Houdini, American king of handcuffs, arrived in England, he tried to arrange for an exhibit of his skill at Scotland Yard, but the authorities refused to allow him an opportunity of putting on or taking off official handcuffs, says London M.A. P. So, accompanied by a skeptical London manager, he paid an ordinary call as an American visitor to the police headquarters. Mr. Houdini, after making the usual remarks on everything he saw and heard, casually asked a question about a pair of handcuffs. The guide took them down and answered: "Oh these are handcuffs impossible to remove." Houdini was greatly interested, and the incident closed by the American visitor requesting his guide to lock the handcuffs on his wrists. Then he turned his back and succeeded in getting them off in a couple of minutes. One of Houdini's strangest adventures happened at a big hotel in St. Paul Minn., where he was very well known. To his surprise, he found that a couple of men occupying the rooms on either side of his own appeared to be mounting guard over him. At first he only suspected this, but after a few days he was perfectly sure that one or the other of his neighbors shadowed his every movement. One afternoon, when Houdini was sitting in his own room, he heard the sound of scuffling outside the door. Flinging it open, he discovered his two unknown friends grasping a third man, who had evidently been wearing a long dark cape that was dragged on one side, showing that he was heavily handcuffed.

"Your father has a telephone in his room, and I will call him up." So the central was called. "Give me number —," said the neighbor.

The average man does himself so much harm on Sunday that he does not recover until the following Wednesday. In the first place, he loafs around the house, instead of being active, as on weekdays. In the next place, he eats his breakfast later than usual, and his dinner earlier, and the result is that he is knocked out until Wednesday. The best thing to do on Sunday is to conform to your usual habits as much as possible.—Atchison Globe. A Poser From the Small Boy. Mamma—Don't boll those canned peas, Bridget. They only want to be warmed. Little Tommy—Mamma, peas can't talk, can they? Mamma—Of course not, dear. Why? Little Tommy—Then how do you know what they want?—Philadelphia Press.
