NOTE AND COMMENT The day before Christmas United States Senator W. A. Clark, following his usual Christmas custom, distributed turkeys to every married man employed in his vast interests throughout Montana, Arizona and elsewhere. About six thousand birds were given away. Senator Clark has a farm in Nebraska devoted exclusively to raising turkeys for his employees. Get one of those birds, Ot? Senator Hanna will not be chairman of the national republican committee after the convention of June 21. He has not yet announced his decision to the president, and may possibly not give him a direct answer to the request that he should continue in his present position for the campaign of 1904. The president has asked Senator Hanna to remain as chairman. The request was made in recognition of Mr. Hanna's ability as a campaign manager, of his strength with the republican forces throughout the country, and in the desire to afford no ground for the statement that there was any split in the ranks of the republican leaders. Both the president and Senator Hanna have been in a peculiar and rather trying position in this matter. If the present chairman declined to serve on city boomers who were in attendance, Chicago was practically decided upon long before the committee met, and rival places were only mentioned for the purpose of raising the bid from Chicago. Political veterans who had been present at these meetings for many years past called attention to the lack of excitement and interest and passed the time recalling the many strenuous contests which have been fought to a finish in the past to secure a national gathering. At the meeting, however, the lobbies of the Arlington hotel, that historic meeting ground of the big chiefs, were thronged with the most interesting lot of men, all of whose names possessed more or less national significance. Senator Hanna was of course the center of attraction and wherever he moved there was to be found the crowd. Governor-elect Herrick of Ohio was accorded considerable of an ovation, and he is looked upon as a man who may become in the near future a national figure. In board to the possible nominee for the vice presidency on the national republican ticket a rather remarkable situation exists. In all the political talk which has been in the air for the past few weeks it may be said that no serious discussion of this matter has occurred. No boom is in evidence, and absolute lack of interest as to the possibilities is shown. Under the surface, however, the republican lead- THE CITY CALABOOSE AND THE YELLOW DOG Grand Jury Makes a Playful Thrust at Great Reformatory Institution Fire Escapes For School House. State of California, County of Orange. To the Honorable Z. B. West, Judge of the Superior Court of Orange County, California: We, the Grand Jury, duly empanelled on December 9, 1903, and charged by you, have found the first nine sections of the County Government Act of 1897 complied with, and we do now respectfully submit this our final report: We have checked up the county demands of the supervisors' book and compared them with the county warrants and the auditor's register of county warrants, and find that these are correct and agree with the treasurer's books. We find the receipts of Orange county from November 1, 1902, to November 30, 1903, to be $344,386.20, and disbursements $301.650.56, and on December 1, 1903, the balance to be $642,735.64. At the head of each demand made on the county treasury we find a pristine notice saying that all claims against the county must show the nature of the service, the name of the person so whom the money is to be paid, the time the work was done, the locality (when it is a road charge) and the rate charged per day in read demands, and in other bills the bill must be itemized. We criticize the unbusinesslike way in which many of these demands are made out, and we would recommend that the board of supervisors give such orders For Sample Copy dent has asked Senator Hanna to remain as chairman. The request was made in recognition of Mr. Hanna's ability as a campaign manager, of his strength with the republican forces throughout the country, and in the desire to afford no ground for the statement that there was any split in the ranks of the republican leaders. Roth the president and Senator Hanna have been in a peculiar and rather trying position in this matter. If the present chairman declined to serve on the ground of ill health, such a statement would militate against his political future. If he declined to serve on the ground that he had done his share of the work, he would have been accused in some quarters of quitting the game for personal reasons, thus impugging his loyalty to the republican party. On the other hand, the president, desirous of bringing to his standard all the political strength possible, has always realized the extreme value to his cause of the active support of Senator Hanna. The relations of the two men have never been of that close, personal character, such as is generally the case between the candidate and his political manager. The president does not look upon his election as absolutely assured, and believes that he must have a man at the head of the national committee who is first, last and all the time enthusiastically his supporter, personally as well as politically. Some time ago the president was undoubtedly persistent in his attempt to retain Senator Hanna at the head of the committee, but owing to the vast amount of gossip and the apparent disinclination of the senator to state his position, the president is rapidly reaching a point where he is more or less indifferent. Without a direct statement from either man available as yet, it can be stated positively that a new chairman will be selected at Chicago June 21, and this man will be drawn from the ranks of the president's personal and ardent supporters. Ex-Gov. Murphy Crane of Massachusetts is the man who the president wants to see in Senator Hanna's place, and whether Governor Crane actually becomes the official chairman or not, he will be the personal representative of the republican candidate in all matters pertaining to the campaign. If Gov. Crane becomes chairman his desire will be that L. A. Coolidge, the well known Washington newspaper man and president of the gridiron club, In advance to the possible nominee for the vice presidency on the national republican ticket a rather remarkable situation exists. In all the political talk which has been in the air for the past few weeks it may be said that no serious discussion of this matter has occurred. No boom is in evidence, and absolute lack of interest as to the possibilities is shown. Under the surface, however, the republican leaders, are seriously considering this problem as one of great importance. The nominee must come from the middle west and Indiana or Illinois will be called upon to furnish him. Disinclination shown by the republican leaders to open up new topics for discussion or renew those in controversy in the recent past will result in their limiting the legislative output this winter. It is recognized that the republican party has taken upon itself large responsibilities about which public opinion is more or less divided throughout the country. It is not desired, therefore, to add to these contentions at a time when they might have a bearing upon election next November. Notable instances of this are the Philippine measures looking toward free trade between the United States and the islands, the salp subsidy bill, statehood for the territories, Alaska legislation and a number of other things which must be disposed of sooner or later. The Evening Post of Washington says that the United States treasury is approaching the new year with $682,784,930 gold in its vaults and this is the largest amount it ever held, or any other government ever held, at any time. Since July 1 the treasury has been continually sending gold out west. In December more than $6,500,000 was sent, and since July 1 some $34,500,000 went through treasury transfers, and this movement is being continued right along, although there was transferred from San Francisco to New York by telegraphic sub-treasury operations Saturday $500,000. According to statistics compiled by the Journal of Commerce of New York, dividend and interest disbursements to be paid in January by the leading railroad and industrial companies, local banks, trust companies and traction corporations, also interest payable on the government debt, will reach a total of $134,000,-000. This sum is about $2,000,000 greater than the total payments of January last, but a decrease com- At the head of each demand made on the county treasury we find a pristine notice saying that all claims against the county must show the nature of the service, the name of the person to whom the money is to be paid, the time the work was done, the locality (when it is a road charge) and the rate charged per day in read demands, and in other bills the bill must be itemized. We criticize the unbusinesslike way in which many of these demands are made out, and we would recommend that the board of supervisors give such orders to the county clerk, acting as the clerk of the board of supervisors, that he refuse to present any demand that is not made out in conformity with the printed directions; and also that they instruct him, in case of the demands on the indigenous fund, that he notify the different storekeepers throughout the county that they must make the demands for supplies furnished to Indians on the hospital blank. This will simplify his work and greatly help the task of future grand juries. We have examined the books and maps in the county assessor's office and find them correct and neatly kept. We have checked up the cash totals in the tax collector's office and compared them with the receipts given by the auditor and find them to correspond, and we commend this office for the neat and businesslike way in which the books are kept. We have checked up the auditor's books and compared them with the treasurer's, and find them to correspond. We have also counted the cash in the hands of the treasurer and find it to agree with his books. We have checked up the school trustees' orders and compared them with the register of school requisitions and the requisitions issued by the county superintendent, and compared those with the warrants and the register of school warrants issued by the auditor, and find them to correspond; but we find many trustees' orders honored without endorsement of the original holder, and we would recommend that she county superintendent instruct all teachers and others to endorse his or her name on the back of such order before it will be honored for a school requisition on the auditor. We find the county clerk's books are correct and in good order. We have examined the recorder's books and find them in fine shape, but he is little too flush with his money, having paid 10 cents more to the county than it was entitled to. We have examined the books of the coroner and public administrator and find them to be correct, but in this office we recommend that an effort be made to have law changed in regard to the settlement of estates of deceased persons, and that the public administrator receive a fixed salary, instead of a commission on the money handled. And that the superior judge, if he sees fit may appoint an administrator to administer on an estate. We have examined the books of the district attorney and find them neatly kept. Ex-Gov. Murphy Crane of Massachusetts is the man who the president wants to see in Senator Hannah's place, and whether Governor Crane actually becomes the official chairman or not, he will be the personal representative of the republican candidate in all matters pertaining to the campaign. If Gov. Crane becomes chairman his desire will be that L. A. Coolidge, the well known Washington newspaper man and president of the gridiron club, shall be made secretary. Whether both chairman and secretary can顺利 be drawn from the one state of Massachusetts is a matter for political expediency to determine, but as in the case of Gov. Crane, it may be said of Mr. Coolidge that whether he is the official secretary or not he will be one of President Roosevelt's men on the advisory board selected to conduct the campaign. At the meeting of the national republican committee in Washington recently there was a notable lack of interest shown in the proceedings except by a few politicians and convention. According to statistics compiled by the Journal of Commerce of New York, dividend and interest disbursements to be paid in January by the leading railroad and industrial companies, local banks, trust companies and traction corporations, also interest payable on the government debt, will reach a total of $134,000,000. This sum is about $2,000,000 greater than the total payments of January last, but a decrease compared to the semi-annual payments in July last, which were $186,000,000 the highest on record. Interest payments by railroads would show a much heavier increase had it not been for what seems to be a general effort to make payments on new issues which fall due at some other time of the year, this undoubtedly being to avoid disturbance to the money market. Reports of the ravages of Boreas in other states serve to make us more contented in this land of glorious sunshine.

WE HAVE EXAMINED THE BOOKS OF THE CORONER AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR AND FIND THEM TO BE CORRECT, BUT IN THIS OFFICE WE REcommend That An Effort Be Made To Have The Law Changed In Regard To The Settlement Of Estates Of Deceased Persons, And That The Public Administrator Receive A Fixed Salary, Instead Of A Commission On The Money Handled. And That The Superior Judge, If He See Fit, May Appoint An Administrator To Administer On An Estate. We have examined the books of the district attorney and find them neatly kept. In the surveyor's office we find the maps and books in proper shape, but we would recommend that the supervisors have compiled a county road map on one sheet, showing all roads, and to have all roads belonging to the county properly marked on the same. This would facilitate the work of future grand juries. We have examined the sheriff's books and checked up his receipts, with the accounts turned into the treasury, and find them to correspond. We have checked up the books of the justices of the peace throughout the county and find them to compare with the auditor's journal, but we would recommend that every justice write on his docket, in case where he make the sentence of fine or imprisonment optional with the prisoner, that he make an entry on the doctet showing which punishment the prisoner chose. This will be a great aid in checking up the books. We also would draw attention of the justice of San Juan Capistrano to the law that compels justices to remit to the county treasurer their fines collected within ten days of the time they are collected. We have examined the different schools throughout the county, and we find them, as far as the buildings are concerned, in good condition, but we criticize the Center school of Anaheim in regard to their precautions against fire, and we would recommend that not only iron fire escapes be put on the outside of the building, but that the trustees give such orders to the principal that she will immediately train the children in a fire drill, similar to the one used by the First Street school in Santa Ana, where they put four hundred scholars outside of the building in three-quarters of a minute after the CALABOUSE AND THE YELLOW DOG Makes a Playful Thrust Reformatory Institution Hopes For School House.

The unbusinesslike way in of these demands are made would recommend that the supervisors give such orders alarm is turned in. We also would recommend that more care be taken in keeping the grounds in clean condition at the Fifth Street school and the Grand Avenue school in Santa Ana. We have examined the books of the city of Anaheim and compared them with the balances in the First National Bank of Anaheim, credited to the city, and find them to correspond. Receipts ... $30,233 18 Expenditures ... 22,566 34 Balance Dec. 8, 1903 ... 87,666 84 Of all the books in the county that we have examined for neatness, accuracy and businesslike methods, they are in fine shape: in fact we do not find any better. We have examined the Anaheim city jail, and first we would draw the attention of the board of trustees to a recommendation in regard to this jail made in 1900 by the grand jury of that year, and, secondly, it is useless to have a jail that any prisoner with a crooked nail can pick the look and get out, and thirdly, there is no reason that because a man is unfortunate or a criminal he should be detailed in a place that no Christian man would tie up a yellow dog in. And we would recommend that the city make such partnership arrangements with the county so that a safe and healthy jail could be built, or, in case this is not practicable, that the city itself build a jail that will be both safe and healthy. We have examined the jail in Pullarton and find that they have a good steel cage, but that the building is very poor and ill-arranged, so far as the sanitary arrangements are concerned. We have examined the county jail and grounds, and find them in good condition, with the exception of the sanitary arrangements in the dugeon ceil which should be changed at once. floor and use oil and sand. We also note that the bridge between Orange and Anaheim across the Santa Ana river needs repairing badly. And we would especially point to bad condition of the Olive bridge between Anaheim and Olive, not only in regard to the asphalt covering of the roadway but also we think many of the piles had better be replaced before the winter rains set in. On the Fifth street bridge in South Ana we repeat the recommendation of the grand jury of 1902, and we would also draw the attention of the supervisors to the bad condition of the roadway. We recommend that this bridge be thoroughly examined, and if it is not practicable to put it in such repair that it will last some time, that the bridge be condemned and a new steel bridge be built. We would draw the attention of the supervisor of the district in the very bad condition of the road from the south end of Main street to Newport, and we would also recommend that the bridge across the Santa Ana River at Newport be fixed at once. Many of the piles have rotted off, and the bridge has sunk about eightteen inches in place and is still slaking, and even now it is dangerous for travel. Something should be done to this bridge so ence. In the Trabuco road district, on throad to Modjeok's, we draw the attention of the roadmasters in two bridges where the supports are rotted off. We would also recommend in the San Joaquin district on the Trabuco road that a bridge be placed around a wash near the east line of the San Joaquina ranch. We would also recommend that a bridge sixy or eighty feet long be built on the main road between Anaheim and Placentia, across the sand wash. the unbusinesslike way in of these demands are made would recommend that the supervisors give such orders clerk, acting as the clerk of supervisors, that he rebut any demand that is not conformity with the printed and also that they instruct of the demands on the institute that he notify the difference throughout the county must make the demands for finished the indigents on the bank.

We have examined the jail in Fullerton and find that they have a good steel cage, but that the building is very poor and ill-arranged, as far as the sanitary arrangements are concerned. We have examined the county jail and grounds, and find them in good condition, with the exception of the sanitary arrangements in the dugeon cell, which should be changed at once; and we should also recommend that the cement floor on the first floor of the jail be repaired, so that the whole floor could be flushed with a hose; as is now it leaks so badly that mops have to be used. We have examined the Santa Ana fire department, and we find that although it is in good condition, the town has outgrown it, and we would offer some recommendations, but we understand that bonds for $8000 have been sold to rectify these conditions. We have examined the books of the city clerk of Santa Ana and find them in perfect condition, and we have checked them up with the treasurer's account and found them to correspond. We have also checked up the city recorder's books and find them to be correct. We have found the books of the Santa Ana city treasurer in good condition and to agree with the amount of money on hand. Receipts, $93,049.48; expenditures, $95,354.49; leaving a deficit of $2,305.01. This deficit is only apparent as at the time of this report the taxes have been collected and the books will show a good balance to the credit of the city. In a body we viewed the collection of Orange county products prepared for exhibit at the world's fair to be held at St. Louis in 1904, and we were pleased to find such a fine exhibit covering all of the products of the county, and we believe it will be a good advertisement for the county, and in a financial way the county will reap a great benefit. We have also examined the county hospital and found it is anything but good shape. They are now working on it, having the drains connected with the sewer and the building being generally renovated. We visited the county physician and find he keeps no books, and we would renew the recommendation of the former grand jury. We find the Santa Ana water works is good condition and have no recommendation to make. We have examined the Santa Ana jail and find it in good condition. It is the opinion of the grand jury that the present system of accessing the city of Santa Ana by the county assessor and collecting taxes by the county tax collector is a large saving to the city and we would recommend other cities to investigate this method. We have inspected the Santa Ana city parks and find them nicely kept how it is dangerous for travel. Something should be done to this bridge no enceo. In the Trabuco road district, on the road to Modjeska's, we draw attention of the roadmasters in two bridges where the supports are rotted off. We would also recommend in the San Joaquin district on the Trabuco road than a bridge be placed across a wash near the east line of the San Joaquina ranch. We would also recommend that a bridge sixty or eighty feet long be built on the main road between Anaheim and Placentia, across the sand wash. We also draw attention of the supervisor for the Third district to the bridge one mile west and one-half miles south of Fullerton. This bridge is only twelve feet wide, and we would recommend to have is widened. We find in the Westminster, Bolen and Talbert road district the roads to be more difficult and expensive in grade on account of large flow of artesian water in the ditches along side of the road which encodes the tullies and other vegetation to grow. We would especially refer to well about one-half mile east of Bolen belonging to Mr. Ward, one belonging to Jones & Cawllie one mile west of Bolen, also in See. 21, Tp. 6, H. 9, one belonging to John Graham and one in Talbert district delonging to Mr. Newlin. and there are others. We would draw attention of this supervisor having in charge the New hope road district to the bridge across the tide slough south of Talbert. One pile of the bridge is badly kept. Willow Land company has chapped four wires to the piling across elough. These should be laid not to replace them. We also fix two gun clubs, which we consider very dangerous as the grade is narrow and at high tide is submerged. We would make wider and higher so at all tides it will be out of water. We would also draw attention of this supervisor having in charge the (Continued on page 4.)

We also would mention of the justice of Sea Sanno to the law that compels to remit to the county their fines collected within the time they are collected. Examined the different throughout the county, and we as far as the buildings are in good condition, but we Center school of Anaheim to their precautions against would recommend that not escape be put on the building, but that such orders to the print will immediately train in a fire drill, similar to by the First Street school where they put four hunts outside of the building centers of a minute after the grand jury. We find the Santa Ana water works in good condition and have no recommendation to make. We have examined the Santa Ana jail and find it in good condition. It is the opinion of the grand jury that the present system of accessing the city of Santa Ana by the county assessor and collecting the taxes by the county tax collector is a large saving to the city and we would recommend other cities to investigate this method. We have inspected the Santa Ana city parks and find them nicely kept and a credit to the city. We have also examined the Santa Ana city library and find a building of which any city should be proud in possessing. It is neatly kept and managed with economy. The trustees should be congratulated on accomplishing so much with the amount of money at their disposal. We have examined the books of the city recorder, city clerk and treasurer of the town of Orange, and we find the said books to be correct. Receipts from Nov. 1, 1902, to Dec. 1, 1903... 88744 46 Disbursements... 5839 90 Balance... 3104 56 We have carefully examined all the roads, bridges and culverts throughout the county belonging to the county and we find them in excellent condition considering the prolonged dry weather with the exception of the following: We find the bridge on Chapman street, near McPherson, across the Santiago creek in bad condition as regards the saphalt covering, and we believe instead of repairing the asphalt that it would be better to make a tight $100 Reward, $100.
