COURTHOUSE BOYS WANT RAISE IN THEIR SALARIES Advices from Sacramento That Bill Will Be Introduced Providing Therefor—Tax-payers Opposed Advices from the state capital confirm previous reports to the effect that an effort will be made at this session of the legislature to increase salaries of officials of Orange county. The bug will be placed in the county government bill. Several bills have already been introduced providing for increase of salaries of officials in other counties. Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Ventura and other Southern California counties have already been named in bills providing for raises in those counties, and if reports are to be relied upon Orange county will be in line this week. Assemblyman Amerige has written letters to leading men of this section announcing he would oppose any raise for this county, and it is understood Senator Anderson has passed the matter up to the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Supervisor Lineberger when asked about the subject said the report concerning the contemplated raise was true. He said he favored a raise in the salaries of supervisors, but opposed raising those of other officials. Supervisors receive $500 per year and mileage for attending one meeting of the board per month. This seems small compared with what other county officials receive, and a raise of supervisors' salaries might not meet with any very serious opposition. But when it is learned that all the boys at the courthouse would like a raise the matter assumes a different aspect. Taxpayers oppose such raises vigorously. Chambers of commerce throughout the county have the matter before him by all their hearts go a-fluttering. Shure Mike! Harry Carlin received news of the serious illness of his father in Iowa and left at once for the east. It was claimed he had contracted a number of bills in Anaheim which remained unpaid. It is also said he threatened to play even with some of the our business men when he left. Some of the creditors got together and ascertained that the train he was on was held up on account of a washout. The young man was located at the Needles, but as an uncle of his in Los Angeles offered to pay the boy's bills he was allowed to pass along. AGAINST SALARY GRAB IS ASSEMBLYMAN AMERIGE Senator Anderson Makes Trip to Santa Ana to Feel Pulse at the Courthouse EDITOR GAZETTE.—I am in receipt of your paper and have read the announcement stating that there was to be a bill introduced raising the salaries of the county officials of Orange. In regard to the same I would state that I have had several letters from different members of the courthouse officers and county officials asking for a change and in many instances a raise in the salaries. Of course, you want to know how I stand in regard to such a proposition. I have been standing this matter ever since I have been here and did not deem it advisable to give salaries on the recommendation of the officials interested alone, but I have asked different parties in Orange county what they thought of it, because under no consideration would I assume the responsibility of raising salaries that are in some cases now as much or more than they ought to be. I assure you that I shall carefully look into this proposition before I do anything, as I do not propose to increase one salary. COUNTY OFFICIALS’ SIDE OF SALARY QUESTION Increase of Work in Several Offices Said to Calf for Greater Compensation The question of whether salaries of county officials should be raised has been an interesting topic of discussion during the week. As has been already stated in these columns, the bulk of the taxpayers are opposed to the raise. Officials at the courthouse, while reluctant to speak upon the subject, nevertheless favor a raise for some of the officers. Assessor Vegely said: “I have not asked for any raise in the salary of my office, and I do not know whether I intend to. But there can be no question that salaries in at least three of the offices should be raised.” Asked which offices he referred to, he continued: “Take the recorder’s office, for instance. Four years ago he turned into the county treasury fees amounting on the average to less than $400 per month. Last month fees turned in by him were nearly $800. That gives you an idea of how business has increased in his office. “The work in the tax collector’s and auditor’s offices has greatly increased during the past year, and there is no comparison between the volume of work now done in those offices and what it amounted to four years ago. “Work in the assessor’s office has also greatly increased. Orange county is growing rapidly. The subdivision of Huntington Beach alone has added vastly to the work of the office, and there is Pacific City, the Newport subdivision and other beach townsites. In some instances I have raised the valuation of those tracts 400 per cent. “The increase in the county’s valuation will be the largest this year in its history, and the assessor’s office furishes an unerring indication of this progress. “The county will continue to grow during the coming years, and if th Supervisors receive $500 per year and mileage for attending one meeting of the board per month. This seems small compared with what other county officials receive, and a raise of supervisors' salaries might not meet with any very serious opposition. But when it is learned that all the boys at the courthouse would like a raise the matter assumes a different aspect. Taxpayers oppose such raises vigorously. Chambers of commerce throughout the county have the matter before them and will take prompt action against such a raid upon the treasury. Amerige Will Fight It SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.—[Special to the GAZETTE]—Amerige has introduced no bill to raise salaries of county officials. has refused to introduce any, and will fight any raise unless people ask for increase. BUENA PARK The hearts of the farmers and dairy-men were made glad yesterday, it being payday at the creamery. A munificent sum is paid every month for milk, which is transformed into the famous sterilized cream, with the wide world as a market. Last Saturday was payday for the employees. Upwards of 75 people are engaged in the various departments. A bold attempt was made to rob Warren's grocery Thursday night, but the thief was foiled by the timely warning given by the groceryman's daughter. The family reside near and the young lady hearing someone trying to pry off a door panel in rear of the store, aroused her father and the burglar took flight without securing any booty. The school children are rehearsing for an entertainment to be given about the middle of March. The Edison electric company have agents in the field endeavoring to install light in the residences and business houses. Mr. Darling has signed a contract with the company to install a 50-horse-power motor on his place to operate his pumping plant. W. Fitzpatrick is relieving C. S. Kennedy as station agent during the latter's temporary indisposition. Large quantities of hay is being shipped out. Plowing since the rains has been the order of the hour and beets are being planted. A large acreage is being seeded to alfalfa. Little Gerald Whitaker, son of Harry Whitaker, while in the attempt of exploring the intricate gearing of his daddy's windmill, had the misfortune to fall to the ground, but luckily escaped without injury. Mrs. Myrtle Lovett entertained a number of her friends at a birthday party at her home on Monday evening. The "Jolly Four"—a social club with Miss Maud Stone, Miss Eleanore Kee, Mrs. Smith and Miss Florence stand in regard to such a proposition. I have been standing this matter off ever since I have been here and did not deem it advisable to give salaries on the recommendation of the officials interested alone, but I have asked different parties in Orange county what they thought of it, because under no consideration would I assume the responsibility of raising salaries that are in some cases now as much or more than they ought to be. I assure you that I shall carefully look into this proposition before I do anything, as I do not propose to increase one salary in opposition to the wishes of my constituents and the people of Orange county. Mr. Anderson has gone south to investigate this proposition, and he wanted me to go with him but I could not spare the time, as I am very busy. You can say through your paper that I am not in favor of any wholesale plunder of the county's money. I am now working on an appropriation for the starting of an agricultural experimental station, or pathological school, in Orange county. I am assured by the governor that there is a good chance to secure such an institution. I am trying to combine this proposition with the office of Prof. Pierce, the government expert, now located in Santa Ana, and in conjunction with the federal government to purchase a suitable site somewhere in our vicinity for the propagation of vines and fruits and also for the investment of the best and most efficient remedies for the care of all vine and walnut growth, and all diseases affecting our fruit interests. I have written the chamber of commerce in Santa Ana in reference to this proposition. The bill introduced by Estudillo of Riverside calls for an appropriation of $50,000 for establishing such an institution in Southern California along the above lines, but is under the control of the state university. My proposition is to have the institution controlled by a board of horticulturists of our part of the state, and in conjunction with federal government, so we can take advantage of the work and experience of Prof. Pierce's office, and also to save the salaries, which would be a great consideration in getting the stations established. The other bill of Estudillo's is all right, but the appropriation is too great and we cannot get the amount passed, for the governor told me so, on account of the great demands on the state treasury. Trusting that you are in good health, and with best wishes, I am, very respectfully yours, E.R. AMERIGE. Sacramento Feb. 10th. Governor Will Sign Bill SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.—Assemblyman Amerige has secured the promise from the governor that he will sign a bill giving the sum of $15,000 for an experimental station in the south, and Mr. Amerige feels confident that if it passes the legislature the institution will go to Orange county. He says that the chambers of commerce and business men and newspapers of Orlando county's particular interest in the bill lies in the fact that they are possibly of her securing the should it be formed by the legislation Those who advocate its coming out that Los Angeles and Plowing since the rains has been the order of the hour and beets are being planted. A large acreage is being seeded to alfalfa. Little Gerald Whitaker, son of Harry Whitaker, while in the attempt of exploring the intricate gearing of his daddy's windmill, had the misfortune to fall to the ground, but luckily escaped without injury. Mrs. Myrtle Lovett entertained a number of her friends at a birthday party at her home on Monday evening. The "Jolly Four"—a social club with Miss Maud Stone, Miss Eleanore Kee, Mrs. Lee Smith and Miss Florence Hansen at the helm—gave a valentine party at the residence of E. B. Foster on Tuesday evening. Dancing was enjoyed and it is needless to say everyone present had a delightful time. Al. Lefflingwell, a popular young business man, and Miss Green of Downey were married at the home of the bride on Sunday. The happy couple returned here Monday evening to reside. A. L. Bennett, the real estate agent, reports an activity in reality. Conrad Weber has exchanged his 40-acre ranch to Thos. Fentress for Riverside property, the parties taking possession on Wednesday. C. E. Carner expects to trade his property for Riverside real estate. Mr. Bennett also reports the sale of S. S. Federman's acreage at Magnolia to eastern parties. Frank Williams and family from Kansas have located here. Will Smith holds a responsible position at the creamery, he being foreman of the warehouse. F. J. Speidel, an old resident, anticipates a world of good to come to all in this glorious climate of ours, and always greets you with a pleasant word and a hearty handshake. Mr. Kelly is the outside day guard at the creamery, and zealously performs his duties, besides keeping the premises in tip-top shape. Kelly occasionally has an "argument" when asserting his authority, but trespassers had better watch out! Blacksmith McKaugh, who has pulled rein over many a thoroughbred trotter, has a Wilkes' colt coming eight months that $500 would not buy. The colt looks good to Mac, it trots now under four minutes, and it certainly will have to go on the track when it gets a little older. Ira McCauley is holding down a job at the creamery and is doing well. Ira is good looking and when the girls pass Governor Will Sign Bill SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.—Assemblyman Amerige has secured the promise from the governor that he will sign a bill giving the sum of $15,000 for an experimental station in the south, and Mr. Amerige feels confident that if passes the legislature the institution will go to Orange county. He says that the chambers of commerce and business men and newspapers of Orange should take the matter up and make a fight for it. They should send him a lot of data on the subject and arouse themselves. It would be a great thing for Anaheim if she could get this station. The federal government appropriates some money for the institution now and Prof. Pierce has charge of the business and experiments and with the help of the state there is no question but that the fruit growers of Southern California would be greatly helped by the location of the station in their midst. Assemblyman Amerige is a very energetic and hard worker and no one seems more interested in doing all he can for his constituents. In this matter alone he has made great efforts to secure for them a state institution and an appropriation. The scandal in the senate has interfered a great deal with business and the legislature is behind in its work, but perhaps by working night and day it can come somewhere near catching up. The only trouble is that Sacramento is so near San Francisco that every Friday the members are all running away to the big city, and an adjournment until Monday has to be taken. The local militia company recently dedicated their new armory. The adjutant general, Brigadier-General Prescott and a number of other military people were present and made speeches. Ed Zeus who was among the visitors was asked to say a few words from the southland and was given a warm welcome by the boys. He had previously visited them at their armory and was invited to drill them as a compliment to the south, which is very popular in Sacramento. Zeus and Ayers are employed in the state printing office. Zeus being assistant night foreman and Ayers proof reader. Orange county's particular interest in the bill lies in the fact that they a possibility of her securing the se should it be formed by the legislation Those who advocate its coming point out that Los Angeles and Diego counties cannot consistently for it, because the normal school already located in those counties the same argument will apply to Luis Obispo county as to the poly nicle school. Nearly every county Southern California has a public building of some kind, except O county, which can therefore reably ask for this institution.

As has been already these columns, the bulk of the share opposed to the raise. The courthouse, while reluctant upon the subject, never or a raise for some of the officiaries. Vegely said: "I have not any raise in the salary of my I do not know whether I insult there can be no questiones in at least three of the fields be raised."

That is an idea of how business has taken his office.

Plans for the structure are now being prepared, and it is designed to have the place ready for business when the summer season opens. It will be built in mission style. Inspection of Company E. The annual inspection and muster of Company E, Seventh Infantry, N. G. C., was held at the opera house Monday evening in the presence of a large audience. The inspection was conducted by Col. Thos. Wilhelm, of Gov. Pardee's staff, and Lieut-Col. W. G. Schrieber, assistant adjutant-general of the First Brigade. During the day the property and records of the company were inspected and the rifle range visited by Colonel Wilhelm and all were found to be in excellent condition. In the evening the company was inspected and mustered. There was a good attendance, 44 of the fifty-two members being present. Beside the inspection officers there were Brigadier General R. Wankowski and Capt. S. M. Saltmarsh, Los Angeles, Colonel S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, and Lieutenant J. Alexander, Second Infantry, of the Adjutant General's office at Sacramento. Col. Wilhelm at the conclusion of the manual of arms and drilling of the company by Capt. Stern, addressed the militiamen. He praised them as a company and admonished the young men to ever strive to master the minor qualifications that go to make up a true soldier, then the more weighty duties will devolve upon them all the more easily. Col. Wankowski also addressed the company in his convincing manner, and the colonel's remarks doubtless had a far-reaching and inspiring effect. Col. Finley gave the guardsmen sound military advice. All of the visiting officers spoke very highly of the efficiency of Co. E and praised its excellent work.

Officials at the courthouse put where their work had been by the advance of the countyation. Mr Anderson was in Santa Ana part of the week investigating effect. He will probably favor Election for Lieutenants Company E will hold an election for first and second lieutenants Feb. 23d. At the meeting of the company on Thursday evening announcement was made that Louis Kroeger, recently elected first lieutenant, had failed to pass the examination before the examining board in Los Angeles, and an election was thereupon called to fill the vacancy. Kroeger now holds a commission as second lieutenant of the company and his time does not expire until the 23d inst. J. Kellenberger was recently elected second lieutenant, at the time of Kroeger's election as first lieutenant. Failure of the latter to pass nullifies Kellenberger's election, and an election will accordingly be held to fill the positions of first and second lieutenants. Kroeger's failure to pass causes surprise, as he is regarded as an excellent officer and popular with his associates. Lack of time in which to examine into the new regulations is given as the cause. The names of several members of the company are mentioned in connection with the offices to be filled. Lieut. Kellenberger will probably be elected first lieutenant, and Sergeant Youngbluth is regarded as in line for second lieutenant. Capt. Stern passed a rigorous examination successfully. He has yet to pass the examination of the regular army examining board, but no doubt is expressed of his ability to pass successfully. Capt. Stern has received the report of the adjutent-general regarding annual inspection and muster. The report gives the company high standing in equipment, drill, uniforms, state property in its control, attendance at drill, reports, and so forth. The percentage of merit is superior to that of previous reports. Telephone Improvements, The Sunset telephone company has a force of eight men engaged in the work of rebuilding their system.

A resolution expressing thanks to Dr. Tyler for services while a member of the board was unanimously adopted. C. Schindler was granted a 60 days' extension of time on sidewalk contract. The subject of suspending the salary of the nightwatch man was discussed. Rust said there was $800 in the city treasury and bills of $2200 to pay. He believed in economy, and thought retrenchment was in order. Schwenckert asked if the nightwatch patrolled only the business center, or whether he paid visits to outside sections. Being informed he watched only the business houses, he was of opinion the business men should support him. It was agreed to cut out the salary of $50 per month paid the nightwatch, on and after the 1st of March. Darling suggested the matter be referred to the chamber of commerce. Steadman said the city needed more hay. He was delegated authority to purchase same. He also brought up the matter of stumps left lying upon public streets. He was instructed, on motion of Schwenkert, to rigidly enforce the ordinance regulating streets and obstructions thereupon. C. Schindler was granted use of portion of street and sidewalk on south Los Angeles street, for erection of new brick block. At request of Steadman, Clerk Merritt was continued as deputy tax collector for two months, at $15 per month, while former gives attention to inspecting sidewalk work. The board discussed Arbor day (Feb. 22d) when the chamber of commerce purposes planting trees upon streets. No action was taken relative to purchasing trees, but the board agreed that where trees already set out had died, the same should be reset at public expense. H. H. Gardner appeared before the board asking acceptance of Center-street sidewalks. City Attorney Melrose expounded law points upon the subject, saying the matter was entirely in hands of the street superintendent. The city trustees have at this time, he said, nothing to do with the matter. Accordingly the subject was passed up to the street superintendent, between whom and the cement men there seems to have arisen a difference of opinion relative to matorious work in the cement line. On motion of Darling saloon licenses were limited to the present number, seven. J. E.

Long distance men have also been in town this week looking after the wires on their lines. National Game. No game was played at Athletic park Sunday owing to the Santa Ana wind which blew icy blasts down from the San Bernardico hills, filling the grounds with clouds of dust and sending the fans back to their homes and firesides. Members of the opposing teams were on hand, the Olinda and the Hoegees of "Los." but the game had to be called off despite the large crowd that gathered to see the sport. Camphor Trees Favored A meeting of property-owners living on Broadway was held at the city hall on Monday evening to discuss the propriety of selecting the kind of shade trees to be planted along that thoroughfare. Dr. Johnston was elected chairman and Henry Adams secretary. After a thorough discussion of the subject it was voted that camphor trees be used in adorning the street. A committee was appointed to procure prices of trees and to report at a called meeting to be held at a later date. The purpose is to improve and beautify the fine residence thoroughfare. Trees will be planted on Arbor day, Feb. 22d. Turner Delegates Max Fruh, J. Ruckstinat and R.

They will endeavor to secure the services of a first-class instructor in turning for local classes. One of the interesting topics to come up for discussion at the meeting will be the introduction of turning in public schools. City Attorney Melrose expounded law points upon the subject, saying the matter was entirely in hands of the street superintendent. The city trustees have at this time, he said, nothing to do with the matter. Accordingly the subject was passed up to the street superintendent, between whom and the cement men there seems to have arisen a difference of opinion relative to matorious work in the cement line. On motion of Darling saloon licenses were limited to the present number, seven. Franke's wholesale liquor license was revoked. He has left town, and has not paid his license for three months.
