THE SANTA ANA HOG. A bill has been introduced in the legislature which seeks to dismember Orange county, taking from it twelve miles of ocean frontage, in which are located the towns of Huntington Beach, Bay City and other communities, and annexing them to Los Angeles. Assemblyman Stanton is sponsor for the bill in the assembly, and Senator Carter performs a similar function in the senate. A mass meeting has been held at Santa Ana and a committee appointed to go to Sacramento to fight the bill. Let us say at the outset of this business that we are unalterably opposed to Mr. Stanton's bill, or any other legislation, for that matter, in which he may have an interest. But when we come right down to the fact of the case, the haunches of the Santa Ana hog become at once apparent, threatening to assist in bringing about the dismemberment of the county. Whatever increasing its postoffice The way these receipts increased was by taking this city that which just to us. When the routes of delivery were some years duced, Santa Ana was acquainting itself with method of delivering new communities, although Perkins was instrumenting one of the first general free delivery service. He remained there waiting upon the pet. The hog seemed asleep was nothing doing. It came to Anaheim and three routes of rural freight Then the hog awakened. What is true of the postoffice receipts true of its political side never permits the elephant outside man so long Ana man is in sight. Huntington Beach is tion from Orange county has not had a square county roads. No more in this Third supervise Why should we of the pervisor district be required nearly 1500 votes, while polls less than 1000, and Ana-Tustin district Is it necessary to ask wretched roads, while and its surroundings roads? It is because our opposed to Mr. Stanton's bill, or any other legislation, for that matter, in which he may have an interest. But when we come right down to the fact of the case, the haunches of the Santa Ana hog become at once apparent, threatening to assist in bringing about the dismemberment of the county. Whatever Stanton's motive, and it is probably dictated by his personal interests, the facts remain that the citizens of Huntington Beach, and other shoreline communities, are eager to separate themselves from Orange county and to become part of Los Angeles county. Why? Simply and only because of the Santa Ana hog. Huntington Beach feels hostility toward Santa Ana because the county seat has hogged the several routes of rural free delivery, supplying the farmers living in the Huntington Beach section with their mails, when these farmers can be better and more cheaply served by having these routes start from Huntington Beach. The beach town has not been given a square deal by the Santa Ana hog, and why not? Santa Ana sees only one thing ahead of it, and that is a federal building, for which it is anxious to ask an appropriation of the next congress. It wishes to swell its postoffice receipts to the utmost limit, irrespective of the rights of the Huntington Beach farmers or of any one else. It places its interests ahead of those of any other section of the county, or indeed of the whole county; and therein lies the danger of dismemberment at this time. This hog has been in action before. It is not so many years ago that the Santa Ana hog stole from Anaheim the mail routes leading from this city to Garden in this Third supervise Why should we of the pervisor district be required nearly 1500 votes, while polls less than 1000, and Ana-Tustin district Is it necessary to ask what wretched roads, while and its surroundings roads? It is because our too large, and our road distributed over too large. It should be reduced to the road money apportioned smaller area. There are many other cities attributable to the quadruped, but it is safe this time to refer to them solely. One other insuffice. When a year ago was anxious to secure the periment station here, of the Santa Ana chamferce refused to permitization to endorse us, he such act“might tend to Ana’s chance of getting building.” There is one Santa Ana hog has got that, in the parlence of is that it must come off the must restore to this city routes it stole from us, give Huntington Beach deal in its local matter cease its visions of a feeding at the expense of the sections of the county; lend its ways, and get sections a square deal or it will find itself confluent these days with a farious problem than has ent case driven it to desire. If Stanton shall succeed up this county, then may be behind him, but Ana hog is rendering him good assistance. of any one else. It places its interests ahead of those of any other section of the county, or indeed of the whole county; and therein lies the danger of dismemberment at this time. This hog has been in action before. It is not so many years ago that the Santa Ana hog stole from Anaheim the mail routes leading from this city to Garden Grove and Westminster. The hog wanted free city delivery of mail at that time, and its legitimate post-office receipts were not sufficient to justify that evidence of urban development. What did the hog do? Jim McFadden gave a grunt, Bill Spurgeon emitted a squeal, and the thing was done. Two mail routes were stolen from Anaheim, even though this city was the correct geographical point from which these routes should start, being eight miles nearer by rail, and thence several miles nearer by wagon route. Thus by way of this city it is ten to twelve miles nearer to Garden Grove than by the roundabout Santa Ana way. But that made no difference to the hog. Neither the interests of this city, nor those of the Garden Grove or Westminster people, availed aught in the transaction. The Santa Ana hog wanted free city delivery, and the only way it could get it was by pasing its postoffice receipts. away these receipts were inmed was by taking away from city that which justly belonged when the routes of rural free delivery were some years later introlal, Santa Ana was slow in printing itself with the new mod of delivering mail to rural counties, although Senator ans was instrumental in sendone of the first agents of the rure delivery service to Santa Ana remained there several weeks upon the people to act. hog seemed asleep, and there nothing doing. The agent to Anaheim and installed routes of rural free delivery. the hog awakened. That is true of the hog relating postoffice receipts is likewise of its political side. The hog permits the election of an man so long as a Santa Ana man is in sight. Antington Beach is for separafrom Orange county because it not had a square deal on roads. No more have we Third supervisor district. should we of the Third suor district be required to poll 1500 votes, while Santa Ana less than 1000, and the Santa Justin district about 850? necessary to ask why we have hed roads, while Santa Ana its surroundings have good It is because our district is LOOKS DANGEROUS TO ANDERSON Orange county need have no fear of Stanton’s attempt to rend her asunder. Have we not Senator Anderson at Sacramento? Yet the fact must not be lost sight of that Anderson has telegraphed Santa Ana that Stanton’s scheme “looks dangerous” to him. Here is his telegram to the chamber of commerce of his home town: Telegram received. Diabolical scheme. Looks dangerous here on account of Fresno matter. Los Angeles not behind it. Get very busy at once with Los Angeles, Long Beach and Pasadena chambers of commerce and governor. Get petition from stolen territory immediately. Bill introduced in senate and assembly yesterday my first information. Will send copy of bill tomorrow. They talk compromised line. I offer nothing. JOHN N. ANDERSON. Let Jim McFadden rest in peace! Is not his man Anderson at the front? And Stanton talks compromise! Inasmuch as that slippery gentleman probably desires only to include Bay City in Los Angeles county, and is using the other shoreline communities as a club over this county’s head, his palaver about compromise will bear watching. But what’s the use of talking? Have we not the brilliant Anderson at the state capital, protecting our interests? “In area,” said Senator Ander- Third supervisor district. Should we of the Third superior district be required to poll by 1500 votes, while Santa Ana less than 1000, and the Santa Justin district about 850? necessary to ask why we have used roads, while Santa Ana its surroundings have good? It is because our district is large, and our road money is outted over too large an area. Should be reduced in size, and road money applied to the area. There are many other indecent attributable to this porcine uppeed, but it is sufficient at time to refer to these matters. One other incident may occur. When a year ago this city anxious to secure the state extent station here, Mr. Nickey of Santa Ana chamber of commission refused to permit the organ to endorse us, holding that act "might tend to lessen Santa Ana chance of getting a federal injunction." There is one thing the Ana hog has got to do, and on the parlence of the street, it must come off the perch. It restore to this city the mail pit stole from us, and it must Huntington Beach a square in its local matters. It must its visions of a federal build the expense of the remaining areas of the county. It must its ways, and give outside as a square deal all around, will find itself confronted one day with a far more serioblem than has in the preside driven it to destruction. San Antonio shall succeed in cut-up this county, the railroad behind him, but the Santa dog is rendering him mighty assistance. The interstate commerce commission made a searching investigation into the railway pool at a session held the past week in Los Angeles, at which it was developed that Harriman through the Union Pacific, controls the Salt Lake railroad. To secure right of way through the Meadow Valley wash in Utah the Salt Lake turned over to Harriman a half interest in the road and the right to appoint half of the board of directors. The Salt Lake has an agreement with the Union Pacific to permit the latter to make rates over the Salt Lake tracks in Utah. The Salt Lake, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, it was also brought out at the investigation, have a mutual agreement in regard to rates in Southern California. The famous five-day citrus special train between county, and is using the other shoreline communities as a club over this county's head, his palaver about compromise will bear watching. But what's the use of talking? Have we not the brilliant Anderson at the state capital, protecting our interests? "In area," said Senator Anderson to a newspaper reporter at Sacramento, "Orange is the smallest county in the state. It cannot be cut down by any pretense of justice." And so on. Orange county is not "the smallest county in the state," whatever may be the infamy back of the plan to cut it down. San Francisco is the smallest county in area in the state, and the counties of Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Sutter, Yuba, Amador, Alpine and Contra Costa are all smaller than Orange. But none of them have such a brilliant ass for a senator as has the tight little county of Orange. Senator Anderson knows who this is. L. G. Kellogg was in of the week, in company Engineer Kellogg, having from Honolulu. He got on official business time on to New York machinery for his new pin. Speaking of the War which company Mr. Kellogg, he says it is still which backs up a distance. It has five times of the Yorba reservoir 108 feet high, while the reservoir is 46. "We sold 20,000,000 daily from March to December is our dry season," said Asked as to the profit posing of this water he in $125 per day. Speaking of the Japan and he said there is a discussion about the matter at his home. "There are 80,000 Japan but we have a sufficient Americans there to talk in case of an uprising best laborers we can get but if they should should be able to get without them. We show higher wages to America but we should get a work out of them." Mr. Kellogg visited voir which he pronounces. will find itself confronted one days with a far more serpouse than has in the presence driven it to destraction. Anton shall succeed in cutup this county, the railroad behind him, but the Santa dog is rendering him mighty assistance. Milwaukee at the present moment engaging about its water works. That is not the liquid that made Milwaukee famous. owing "trial marriages" the thing has been introduced in New Jersey courts in the shape petition for "temporary dihariman Wallace is going to the Ex-chairman Shonts and ask he managed to do it withow. President in a letter to the this week assured them that Harriman did not know anyabout railroads. But it must understood that it was George H. at Eddie H. he was talking Representative Tawney took a look representative Wadsworth's case added to postpone inserting into the pure food law under the election. The Salt Lake has an agreement with the Union Pacific to permit the latter to make rates over the Salt Lake tracks in Utah. The Salt Lake, Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, it was also brought out at the investigation, have a mutual agreement in regard to rates in Southern California. The famous five-day citrus special train between Los Angeles and Chicago was withdrawn by the Salt Lake owing to pressure brought to bear by both the other roads. The Santa Fe, a Rockefeller property, looms up as immune from the tactics of Harriman. The Union Pacific controls the Southern Pacific and the Salt Lake alike. The interstate commerce commission adjourned to meet in New York, when Harriman will be called upon to testify. It is hoped the control of Harriman over the Salt Lake, which is in restraint of trade, will be broken, and the orange growers of Southern California soon be offered relief from the railroad monopoly.

Heying, Proprietor III West Center St. Anaheim, Visited the Reservoir Mr. G. Kellogg was in town the first week, in company of his brother engineer Kellogg, having just arrived on Honolulu. He goes to Washington on official business and will come on to New York purchasing machinery for his new pineapple cannery. Making of the Wahaiwa dam, of which company Mr. Kellogg is president, he says it is filled with water, each backs up a distance of eight miles. It has five times the capacity of the Yorba reservoir, its dam being feet high, while that of the Yorba reservoir is 46. We sold 20,000,000 gallons of water from March to December, which our dry season,” said Mr. Kellogg. asked as to the profit incident to dishing of this water he said it brought $125 per day. Speaking of the Japanese in the islands he said there is apparently more passion about the matter here than us home. There are 80,000 Japs in the islands, we have a sufficient number of good Americans there to take care of them case of an uprising. They are the laborers we can get for the price, if they should be excluded we would be able to get along very well about them. We should have to pay their wages to American laborers, we should get a great deal more out of them.” Mr. Kellogg visited the Yorba reservoir which he pronounced an enter- Business and Pleasure An auto party composed of a number of Los Angeles ladies and gentlemen arrived in town in four touring cars shortly after noon on Sunday, and enjoyed a basket dinner as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hessel at the West End. In the party were Mrs. Louise A. Denker and sister, who is lately over from Paris for a brief sojourn; her son Louie Denker; Mrs. Mary Hammel, Mr. and Mrs. F. O. McLaughlin, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Lichtenberger, Julius W. Krause, the architect, and others. Mrs. McLaughlin of the party is the lady who will shortly begin the erection of a brick block, 48x94, at the corner of Emily and Center streets. After an enjoyable outing of an hour or more the party drove up town and were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Kistler. Here they were met by a number of citizens of this city, among them prospective renters of parts of the building. Among the callers was Mrs. Cadman, who will rent the up-stairs portion of the building, which will be composed of eighteen offices and living rooms. The building will have a front of plate glass and pressed brick and will cost when completed $13,000. A watercolor sketch of the structure is on exhibition in the east window of J. Resh’s photographic studio. The party after meeting many friends and enjoying a most pleasant afternoon started on its return for Los Angeles about 4 o’clock. Mr. Resh said yesterday that work we have a sufficient number of good Americans there to take care of them in case of an uprising. They are the laborers we can get for the price, if they should be excluded we would be able to get along very well without them. We should have to pay higher wages to American laborers, we should get a great deal more back out of them." Mr. Kellogg visited the Yorba reservation, which he pronounced an enterpriser fraught with the greatest importance to this entire section.
