WE PAUSE FOR A REPLY In apportioning the $500,000 bonds to be voted upon for constructing roads in Orange county, the question is asked, How will the money be expended? We are told it will be placed equally among the five supervisor districts. Under the law a commission must be appointed to draft plans and specifications for these roads, their length, width, location and so forth, and this report must be ratified by the supervisors before the bonding election can be called. The question is asked, Will this commission equalize the distribution of funds among the five districts? If so, the districts as at present formed must be subjected to considerable change before an equitable distribution of this money can be effected. In the election last November, Orange county polled 4885 votes, which were divided by supervisor districts as follows: First district... 997 Second district... 722 THAT PROPOSED BOND A "mass meeting" was held Santa Ana some evening which addresses were made P. Nickey, Senator Anderson S. H. Finley, Assemblyman and others favorable to Orange county in the form of $500,000 for the purpose of roads throughout the area. The proposition is a large should be considered with the part of the taxpayers' county before an affirmationswer can be given. Person doubt very much the prothemovement at this time. How will this bonding affect the northern portionange county? In this city citizens have been discussing ing of city streets. We have recent past expended $40,000 upon cement sidewalk other improvements to ooughfares, and to pave thunder consideration will $75,000. Fullerton has now undereration a proposition to issue in the amount of $80,000 proving its streets and road has within recent years probably $20,000 for the ment of its highways. In what manner can thalf million-dollar bonding suggest itself favorably two communities? The la If so, the districts as at present formed must be subjected to considerable change before an equitable distribution of this money can be effected. In the election last November, Orange county polled 4885 votes, which were divided by supervisor districts as follows: First district...997 Second district...722 Third district...1428 Fourth district...884 Fifth district...854 The Third district polled within 200 votes of a third of the entire vote of the county. It polled within 16 votes of twice as many as the Second district, and it polled within 148 votes of the combined strength of the Second and Fifth districts. Immediately after the election, we pointed out these grievous discrepancies, yet word is given out that no change is at present contemplated. If the apportionment of this proposed bond fund is to be made upon the basis of so much for each supervisor district, justice and fair play would seem to demand a revision of existing lines. If this $500,000 is to be distributed equally according to voting strength, the Third supervisor district will be entitled to $146,161.33, if the bonding scheme carried at the polls. Under existing lines we should receive $100,000. Why should the district as at present organized vote to place the difference of $46,161.33 upon roads in the other districts of the county? In the words of the immortal orator from Squedunc, we pause for a reply. A Los Angeles paper, referring to the undoubted influence of unfavorable weather upon the mind, says a Chicago alienist recently attributs a proportionate increase in the amount of $80,000 proving its streets and roads has within recent years probably $20,000 for the development of its highways. In what manner can the half million-dollar bonding suggest itself favorably to two communities? The law which it is purposed to issue bonds provides that not a coin can be expended within porate limits of a city. The third majority must be pivoted favor of the bonds to carry on. In the recent effort of Hinton Beach to sever itself from ange county, the people of Ana pledged themselves, argument against county d to construct a highway leading Huntington Beach to the seat and other localities southern portion of the Did Santa Ana have in county-bonding scheme time of making this offer? Santa Ana will find itself fronted with several serious sitions before outlying sec the county will pledge them to support this bond issue. It must restore to Anahe Garden Grove and West postal routes which it took from us by deception and It must do the right thing byington Beach in the matter rural route of free mail o which of right belongs to the town, but which the county acquired for itself. Last year Mr. Nickey ref permit the Santa Ana chain commerce to endorse the eff Anaheim to secure the here of a state experiment His plea was that Santa A not wish to incur the host In the words of the immortal orator from Squedunc, we pause for a reply. A Los Angeles paper, referring to the undoubted influence of unfavorable weather upon the mind, says a Chicago alienist recently attributed an epidemic of murders in that city to a raw east wind which prevailed with unseemly severity the preceding twenty-four hours. It also quotes, in support of its theory, the old English aphorism, "When the wind is in the east, 'Tis not good for man nor beast." Here in Orange county people used to guard themselves against burglaries and chicken thefts when the Santa Ana wind blew, not so much on account of this insidious influence of the weather upon the mind as to the other and more common place fact that the rattling window sash and swaying blinds were taken advantage of to deaden the footfall of those out late at night with no good purpose in view. This new science is a great thing. The "unanimity of sentiment" existing at the county seat and one or two outlying sections in favor of that half-million dollar graft looks too much like a cut-and-dried affair. PROPOSED BOND ISSUE A press meeting" was held at Ana some evenings ago at addresses were made by F. Keyy, Senator Anderson, Col. Valley, Assemblyman Bishop Harris favorable to bonding county in the amount of $100 for the purpose of building throughout the county. Proposition is a large one, and considered with care on of the taxpayers of the before an affirmative answer given. Personally we pay much the propriety of mention at this time. Will this bonding measure northern portion of Oranity? In this city our citation been discussing the pavement streets. We have in the past expended probably upon cement sidewalks and improvements to our thoroughfare, and to pave the streets consideration will require on has now under consid- proposition to issue bonds amount of $80,000 for images streets and roads, and in recent years expended $20,000 for the better- highways. It manner can this new non-dollar bonding scheme itself favorably to these counties? The law under we doubt the propriety of bonding the county for a half million dollars to construct them in this fashion. Fullerton has now before it, as we say, a proposition to vote $80,-000 for improved streets. This city has now before it the construction of sidewalks which will cost $18,-000, and a paving proposition which will cost $50,000 to $75,-000. Can these communities be reasonably expected to favor a scheme for bonding the county in this large sum for the purpose of assisting in the work of building roads in other portions of the county? We doubt very much if an affirmative answer can be given. The esteemed Santa Ana Register, speaking of the enthusiasm with which the proposed issue of half a million dollars for county road building is received by certain enthusiastic gentlemen in that city, says that no opposition had, up to its issue of the 20th, appeared against the bonds. Perhaps the statement was true, for news of the attempt to saddle this enormous debt upon the county had not penetrated very far, if at all, from its initial starting point at that time. But now that the plan is coming to be understood, the Register will probably learn that a positive and widespread opposition exists toward the scheme throughout the county. There exists a well-grounded distrust on the part of outlying amount of $80,000 for immissions streets and roads, and in recent years expended $20,000 for the betterness highways. It manner can this new non-dollar bonding scheme itself favorably to these counties? The law under is purposed to issue these divides that not a dollar of expended within the cornities of a city. A twomajority must be polled in the bonds to carry them. Recent effort of Huntingto sever itself from Orty, the people of Santa aged themselves, as an against county division, set a highway leading from Bon Beach to the county other localities in the portion of the county. Ana have in view a bonding scheme at the making this offer? Ana will find itself contwith several serious proposory outlying sections of will pledge themselves this bond issue. First, restore to Anaheim the Grove and Westminster sites which it took away by deception and fraud. In the right thing by Huntach in the matter of the state of free mail delivery right belongs to the beach which the county seat for itself. Mr. Nickey refused to Santa Ana chamber of to endorse the efforts of to secure the location state experiment station. was that Santa Ana did to incur the hostility of debt upon the county had not penetrated very far, if at all, from its initial starting point at that time. But now that the plan is coming to be understood, the Register will probably learn that a positive and widespread opposition exists toward the scheme throughout the county. There exists a well-grounded distrust on the part of outlying communities to placing this amount of money in the hands of a Santa Ana commission, even when the ostensible object aimed at is the meritorious one of good roads. Col. Finley, in his address to the $500,000 county bond "mass meeting" at Santa Ana the other evening, said the interest and principal the first year would amount to $35,000, but that thereafter the burden would not be so "irksome." Col. Finley is entitled to the highest respect as a soldier and civilian, but we never knew before that he had in him the making of a lexicographer. That word "irksome" sounds like a bully good one. Will the colonel please be good enough to tell the people what it means. Parties returning from the Nevada "gold fields" give discouraging accounts of various "bonanzas" which have been lately exploited there. One of the muchly advertised "mines" turns out to be nothing but a prospect hole fifty or sixty feet in depth, with three men as the total force of miners engaged in the work of opening up the treasure vaults below. As stock of this mine has been offered for sale for some weeks past, what was the depth of the shaft when this precious stock was first placed on the market? One cannot be too careful in making investments in mining shares. These advertisements greet one on every side. The woods are full of wildcat Let me save you ANAHEIM, CAL.

Mr. Nickey refused to endorse the efforts of the county to secure the location of state experiment station. He was that Santa Ana did not incur the hostility of the former's effort to appropriation for a feeding to be petitioned for by. Yet Riverside is to was a year ago, an active member of Santa Ana for a feeding, and if signs of the spread aright, that county training a candidate for who will look favorably attempt to head off Santa Ana ambitions for a governing. Byying sections of Orange have vigorously opposed Ana's efforts to bond the past, and we believe so again, if this measure come to a vote.

As stock of this mine has been offered for sale for some weeks past, what was the depth of the shaft when this precious stock was first placed on the market? One cannot be too careful in making investments in mining shares. These advertisements greet one on every side. The woods are full of wildcat schemes, which are nothing more or less than fraudulent devices to separate the unthinking from their money. Before investing, investigate the men behind the mine, and if they are putting in their own money, invest if it so pleases you. But steer clear of the wildcats, or you will soon be parted from your hard-earned savings, with nothing to show for it but a lot of worthless "non-assessable" shares. One speaker at the Santa Ana meeting on Friday evening favored issuing bonds in the amount of $1,-000,000, instead of $500,000, for county roads. It seems pleasant for some people to juggle with other men's finances, especially when they are not taxpayers themselves. Having no burdens to bear, and being probably a mere temporary sojourner, we doubt very much if this gentleman's ideas for bonding the county under a burdensome load of indebtedness are entitled to any great degree of weight. other interesting features cordially invited.
