INM Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1903. OF ANAHEIM EDITORIAL NOTE and Comment POSTMASTER WHITAKER of Buena Park is moving in a praiseworthy endeavor to organize a route of rural mail delivery to radiate from his postoffice through the populous districts in that neighborhood; but as his route interferes with one from the Anaheim postoffice he is liable to have Postmaster Littlefield and the force of rural mail clerks descend upon his devoted head, and cast him into the second-class mail pouch. Mr. Whitaker was in town some days ago and drove with Inspector Montanya over portions of his proposed route, a number of the residents along which are now served by a route from the Anaheim postoffice. I hear that a half dozen of these residents who deliver milk each morning to the condenser are willing to be placed in Mr. Whitaker's new route, but that more than twice that number will sign a protest to being taken from us and annexed thereto. Buena Park has two incoming and two outgoing mails daily, while Anaheim's outgoing and incoming mails number nineteen—quite a respectable mail service I should say. The incoming mails connect on the moment with the rural carriers and the return of the latter is so timed that mail brought in by them is transferred at once to the outgoing afternoon trains. There are few towns in Southern California enjoying a better postal service. Some months ago the Buena Park for the next term of four years, but that he ought to be maintained in office as long as our neighboring county has this more important one. Certainly it would ill become the Riversiders to ask for the State senator when they now have the congressman, especially when it is our "turn" to name the former official. Senator Caldwell has made an excellent official. He is possessed of good timber, and even if he should retire to private life his name will probably be underlined by his party for future preferment. CAP'N DANIELS, by the way, will be a busy congressman, and will have many tangles to straighten out once he assumes the cares of office. I hear that he will have a score to settle with some men high in politics in this county for his defeat for the nomination for congress at the Newport Beach convention six years ago. Then he was the logical choice of the party for office but was defeated by a man who was a stranger to a majority of the delegates composing the convention—and, defeated, too, in an underhanded and reprehensible manner. He was beaten by Orange county men, because of an alleged slighting reference to Senator Perkins some years before at Riverside. While these same forces were lined up against him at Sacramento and Oxnard, he succeeded in capturing the nomination at his second try for it, after the most strenuous political struggle recorded in the history of this congressional district. RATIFIAATIO OF CCNAL TREATY Admiral Walker to Be Appointed President of the Commission—Work to Begin Soon The Senate having ratified the Panama Canal treaty the Secretary of the Treasury is ready to pay $40,000,000 cash for the holdings of the French investors. And now the people are wondering who will be selected and appointed by the President to the important, responsible and lucrative position of president of the canal commission. The man who will have the fame of building the Panama canal, his name will go down the ages to come as one of the great engineers, as one of those men who achieve. Rear-Admiral Walker of the United States navy is the man to whom this great work is to be committed. The admiral hails from Iowa, although he has been in the navy for forty years, and he has the indorsement as well as the warm personal friendship of Senator Allison and Congressman Hepburn of Iowa, the latter the champion of the canal bill in the House of Representatives for many years. Admiral Walker has served on several canal commissions, has carefully examined and reported upon all of the details of the route, and besides being possessed of superior natural and acquired ability, is thoroughly familiar with the duties to which he is to be assigned. This appointment will meet with general approval. SYNDICATE TO BUILD IT. Simultaneously with the ratification of the Panama treaty by the Senate, word was received in Washington that the initial steps were being taken in the organization of the world's largest construction syndicate, which will bid for the contract for building the canal. According to information received at Washington, the financial leaders o Buena Park has two incoming and two outgoing mails daily, while Anaheim’s outgoing and incoming mails number nineteen—quite a respectable mail service I should say. The incoming mails connect on the moment with the rural carriers and the return of the latter is so timed that mail brought in by them is transferred at once to the outgoing afternoon trains. There are few towns in Southern California enjoying a better postal service. Some months ago the Buena Park postmaster sought to establish a route of rural delivery running on half-section lines. One of these, it so happened, was inside the territory occupied by one of Anaheim’s routes. The postoffice department at that time prohibited mails being delivered on half-section lines. People living upon these lines were required to erect mail boxes on the section lines, and many refused so to do. Since then, rural free delivery, having become so popular it is permissable that mail may now be delivered on half-section as well as section lines, and a largely increased appropriation has been made by Congress therefor. The Buena Park petition was promptly denied; and now Mr. Whitaker, as I am informed, has another petition and has come down one of the half-section lines lying within the local territory. The local postoffice officials will of course strenuously oppose this attempt to disrupt one of their routes and have already protested to the authorities concerning it. Moreover, they are moving to deliver mail upon half-section lines, and as a result the rural service from this postoffice will be very largely increased. Speaking of Buena Park I wonder what has become of Dr. Hasson, whom nobody hears anything about nowadays. Two years ago, on the adjournment of the legislature, Hasson was a prominent figure in Orange county politics; but while there was no outspoken opposition to him, gradually he became so unpopular on account of his abominable bill raising the salaries of Orange county officials, that when he came to ask for renomination he was overwhelmingly defeated and that, too, by a plan of nomination which was thought to be especially favorable toward him. This bill which raised salaries $8000 a year was quietly hatched out by Jim McFadden and a few of his satellites at Santa Ana and was passed through the legislature before the people in the outexed thereto.

According to one of the members of the commission, this question was gone into extensively, and all investigation pointed to the desirability of concluding the responsibility for the completion of the canal as much as is possible.The only way to do this,because is to award a contract for construction to one responsible companywhichwill be able to safeguardthe government from loss,在case it failsto performthe taskit assumes.The feasibilityof dividingthecontractintsections.aswasdonewhentheChicago drainage canalwasdug,hasbeendiscussed,但thegeneralsentimentoftheexpertsisagainstsuchadivisionofresponsibility.

ask for renomination he was overwhelmingly defeated and that, too, by a plan of nomination which was thought to be especially favorable toward him. This bill which raised salaries $8000 a year was quietly hatched out by Jim McFadden and a few of his satellites at Santa Ana and was passed through the legislature before the people in the outlying sections had a chance to get a sniff at what was brewing. Some of them imagined that there was a colored gentleman in the woodpile, somewhere, but before they could ascertain his whereabouts the bill had passed and become a law. He will probably be with us for four years. He will cost us $32,000. I said at the time that this would cost Hasson his political scalp and he has gone down the line with other great men who were but are not. Had he been re-elected, and had his administration of the office been free from this Santa Ana scandal, he might have been in line for the State senatorial nomination, but that is now out of the question. Hasson is personally an upright citizen, but the Santa Ana push accomplished his undoing. Speaking of the senatorship, I have an intimation from Riverside that Senator Caldwell would not object to succeeding himself in the office which he has so creditably filled. However, I believe he is doomed to disappointment, for according to the political rule which has so far held good, it is Orange county's "turn" to name the next senator. Moreover, the fact that Riverside has now the congressman from this district in the person of Capt. Daniels, it would appear that Orange county ought to have the senator, not onlyULAR session. But that the special session was called and the treaties ratified so speedily adds but another feather to the cap of Mr. Roosevelt. We of the Pacific Coast have long looked for this canal. Often it has seemed to be near, only to be removed seemingly further away than ever. Now it is a surety, providing that the treaty be ratified at Bogota, and it is to the president that full credit for this great work is due. As for the Cuban treaty while, Senator Bard voted against it, and there has existed some opposition in California to its ratification, still we must remember that Cuba is practically a ward of this nation, and that the American people are in duty bound to make every reasonable sacrifice for her. We went to war to secure her freedom from oppression, and the people of California must be big-hearted enough to make her some little concessions as regards this commercial treaty. Statesmen have already referred to Cuba as the coming American state, and many favor its admission into the union at some future time. While it is to be doubted that we are ready to admit the island into full rights of statehood, or will be for many years, yet it is a part of wisdom to extend to her people the good offices of a helping hand. Let us hear no more of this selfishness in California. The president will find universal acclaim here for beginning work upon the canal, no less than for his other statesmanlike qualities, and no word of criticism for his part in the Cuban matter. He will be welcomed as our strenuous president whose patriotism was proved upon the field of battle. More men like Roosevelt, and the Republican party would be a better party, and don't you forget it. There is Russia. When you think of the land of the Czar in far you see snow covered plains, hear howling of wolves and the cries of peasants. And you wonder such a Godforsaken, ice bound wildness can support so many tens of thousands of people. It isn't ice-bound, wolves do not bowl any more strongly than they do in Colorado, and peasant's condition is improving along. The country is prospering. Estimated revenue for 1903 is $984,500, nearly $3,000,000 a day. A court that can stand that amount of taxation direct or indirect, is great, for the come exceeds that of any other nation on the globe. This year the government will put more than $80,000,000 to new railroads. The affairs of nation are being so run that the come exceeds the expense, while in the value of exports exceeded the value of imports by more than $150,000. As far as industrial progress is concerned, Russia is becoming the United States of Europe. New Line to Los Angeles Engineers in the employ of Gould lines, it is said on good authority will shortly start from Marysvale terminus of the Rio Grande West in Idaho, to survey a line south from that point. While no official formation is given as to the deining it is stated that there can be but outcome—a line to Los Angeles. Rio Grande already has a preliminary survey from Marysvale to Los Anse and San Diego. Near Muddy Park Lincoln county, Nevada, this crosses the line which has been veyed by the Santa Fe road from Velis State, to the north. Santa Fe has been doing Rome built in that direction and the two would meet if continued.

Huntington has acquired a large interest in the Newport Beach property of 893 acres fronting on the ocean. A stock company, of which Huntington is said to be the leading figure, has been incorporated and now has a title to the land. Huntington's ultimate purpose in acquiring the interest in the beach resort is said to be connected with his intention to construct an electric line from Santa Ana to Newport Beach, to be used as a feeder to the system which he expects to build from Los Angeles to Santa Ana.

Philadelfphia, March 22. — Three fires in the northwestern section of the city last night caused a loss estimated at $150,000. The greatest loss occurred at the Morocco works of Cooey, Costello & Company on Othedox street, Bridesburg. The loss is estimated at $100,000. Two men were arrested in connection with a fire which partially destroyed theaint Glass Works of Gill & Company at Salmon street and Lehigh avenue, where $35,000 damage was done. The two men arrested were John Oakes, the watchman, and Geo W. Capewell. Both men were charged with conspiracy. The third fire occurred at the factory of Block & Sons, manufacturers of smoking pipes, on East York street, Damage $15,000. Money for the Boers. London, March 1. — There was an unusually large attendance in the House of Commons to-day, when the house went into committee to debate the vote for the account of the civil service, in expectation of Colonial Secretary Chamberlain giving some interesting details of his South African tour. The secretary, however, said that until the arrival in London of papers, which were now on their way here, he had nothing to add to what was already known. The only point to Mr. Chamberlain's speech which was intrenational interest was the statement that 100,000 Boers had been repatriated and that the government was giving the new colonies, under the peace terms and as military compensation, the remarkable aggregate of $75,000,000 towards the expense of their re-settlement. Claims to Be Lloyd's Wife. San Francisco, March 19. — There are new and sensational complications in the celebrated case of William Boxall, who shot and seriously injured his uncle, Charles D. Lloyd, a capitalist, at San Bernardino on January 1st. One of these is the appearance at Oakland of a woman who claims to be the wife of the wounded promoter. The woman in question lives with her married daughter, Mrs. Samuel G. Mix, at 1114 Fourteenth street, Oakland. She claims she was married to Lloyd in England many years ago, and that she has the necessary documents to substantiate her contention. Inasmuch as there is another woman who is confessedly the wife of Lloyd, the statement of the Oakland woman has created a sensation. It is claimed that Lloyd was for years aware of the existence of this woman and that he had knowledge of the claim advanced pany and the burden of the complaint seems to be that the land company and gun club, which have bought up the surrounding land, appropriated the water for their own purposes and forbid anyone except their own members and friends from fishing and hunting in the vicinity. "The authority of the federal government over waterways proceeds from the commerce clause of the Constitution, and the laws of commerce enacted for the preservation and protection of the waterways were intended to protect and preserve them for the benefit of commerce. There is no proof that this creek or waterway was ever used by the public for commercial purposes, and unless it can be shown that navigation or commercial interests are destroyed or injured by this dam, I see no reason for any interference by the war department, and am of the opinion that the former action above cited should be adhered to." If the present complainants are deprived of the right of fishing and hunting in the bay it is not believed that the restoration of such rights devolves upon the war department, but that it is a matter for settlement and adjustment in the courts." The investigation of Capt. Meyler, referred to in the above report, was made in 1901, and found, substantially, as is held in the new report, that there was no reason for action by the war department, as the complaint of the raunchers did not appear to have for its object the protection of navigation and commerce. In the note of transmission accompanying the report of the chief of engineers, as quoted in the forgoing, Acting Secretary of War William Cary Sanger says: "In view of the opinion of the chief of engineers, the department adheres to the former action in the case, deeming that there is no reason for any action on its part." Skyscrapers At a recent discussion in the Nineteenth Century club in New York on "skyscrapers" it was estimated by one of the speakers that within an area of a mile and a quarter wide and a mile and a half long there have been erected in that city upward of ninety genuine skyscrapers, adding more than 180 acres to the business area of that section and increasing land values about $33,000,000. WEEDS Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. There is Russia. When you of the land of the Czar in fancy snow covered plains, hear the zig of wolves and the cries of peasants. And you wonder how Godforsaken, ice bound wilder support so many tens of milled people. It isn't ice-bound, the do not bowl any more strenuous than they do in Colorado, and the country's condition is improving right. The country is prospering. The latest revenue for 1903 is $984,516, nearly $3,000,000 a day. A country can stand that amount of taxation, or indirect, is great, for the increase that of any other nation in the globe. This year the governor will put more than $80,000,000 in new railroads. The affairs of the state are being so run that the increase the expense, while in 1902 value of exports exceeded the value imports by more than $150,000,000. As industrial progress is concluding, Russia is becoming the United States of Europe. Phoenix, Ariz., March 19. — The twenty-second session of the Legislature of Arizona closed at midnight. Governor Brodie this evening relieved the anxious suspense of two days by sending to the Legislature his veto of the bill granting suffrage to women. In his message the Governor says: "As a reason therefor I wish to say briefly that in my judgment the subject of the bill is not within the powers of the Legislature to legislate upon." He calls attention to paragraph 15 of the organic law of Arizona, which defines the legislative power of the territory as extending to all rightful subjects of legislation not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the United States, and further states: "As the question presents itself to my mind, when the territorial Legislature does or attempts to legislate upon a subject not directly pointed out or contemplated by the constitution or laws of the United States, it is legislating upon a subject which is not consistent therewith." He points out that a provision of the organic act states that every male citizen over 21 years of age participated in the organization of the territory and that females at the time were debarred from voting. In exercising the veto, the Governor has created considerable surprise, but the action has met with public approval. An attempt in the house to pass the measure over his head could not muster one-fourth the votes of the house, and legislators who take every view of the question are loud in their praise and declare that the Governor was actuated by conscientious motives. Consumption is a human weed flourishing best in weak lungs. Like other weeds it's easily destroyed while young; when old, sometimes impossible. Strengthen the lungs as you would weak land and the weeds will disappear. The best lung fertilizer is Scott's Emulsion. Salt pork is good too, but it is very hard to digest. The time to treat consumption is when you begin trying to hide it from yourself. Others see it, you won't. Don't wait until you can't deceive yourself any longer. Begin with the first thought to take Scott's Emulsion. If it isn't really consumption so much the better; you will soon forget it and be better for the treatment. If it is consumption you can't expect to be cured at once, but if you will begin in time and will be rigidly regular in your treatment you will win. Scott's Emulsion, fresh air, rest all you can, eat all you can, that's the treatment and that's the best treatment. We will send you a little of the Emulsion free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.Y. doc. and $r: all druggists.
