The GAZETTE is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. EXPENSES OF THE COMMISSION If it shall consume five years to construct 100 miles of roadway proposed by the paved roadsters at the county seat, the expense of the highway commission, for salaries for its members, its secretary, for overseers of construction, for preparation of surveys and estimates, and other incidentals, will not fall short of $50,000. Col. Finley stated at the Buena Park meeting that in his opinion it would require from two to three years to do the actual work of paving this mileage. Inasmuch as the highway commission will be in office probably a year before work upon the roads is actually begun, in event of the success of the bond election, and as the commission will probably retain office for a time after the roadways are completed, we think that a five-years term of service is not too long for purposes of present calculations upon the subject. There are also the expenses of the election, which will cost from $3000 to $5000. The expense of surveys and preparation of the estimates will in our opinion expenses of the commission how much for the Third district, which includes West Anaheim, Buena Angethorpe, Fullerton, Placentia and Olinda. He for this district, which polls of the vote of the county refer the subject to Prof. Knows how to split hairs. TWO ALARMS, BOTH FAIR Another Thoroughly Woggle-Bug has popped local war between the United States Japan. Some days ago in Hobson (who seems some late to have fallen from perch) who said an imminent between the two nations would; now it is Dr. E. Andrews, chancellor of the city of Nebraska, who in dress at the commencement cises of an Illinois polyte stitute the other day averred himself to be of the ing conviction: "Japan is working day and night to control the Pacific Ocean. I do seem an alarmist, but the east does climate the dangers on the Pacific coast should elect a president without tact, war would be a probability in possibility." We venture the assertion the child is not now all will live to see war between United States and Japan far as that is concerned, the United States and nation of the earth. The stature of the American commission will probably retain office for a time after the roadways are completed, we think that a five-years term of service is not too long for purposes of present calculations upon the subject. There are also the expenses of the election, which will cost from $3000 to $5000. The expense of surveys and preparation of the estimates will in our opinion be considerable, for assuredly the supervisors will submit no proposition to vote a bonded indebtedness of $600,000 without first having the plans passed upon by competent authority. Months will be required in preparation of these estimates and plans, and thereafter, we opine, the figures will be submitted to an expert engineer for approval. It will be recalled that Fred Eaton charged the water company $1500 for taking a flashlight whisper of the Yorba reservoir. These expert birds come high. The expense of that structure, which is now nearing completion, is insignificant alongside this colossal bond issue. Probably $50,000 will be required for these essentials before these roads are all complete. True, this expense is a necessary adjunct to the good-roads propaganda. But let us see how we are going to fare in this district, where the roads are bad. Do the people in this district wish to disburse $400,000 of this bonded indebtedness in the Second and Fifth supervisor districts, as we have already shown must inevitably result if the voters approve the issue, and take a chance at having roads in this district paved with what the commission may expend upon them with the remainder. Let no one doubt for a moment that the roads (1) from Santa Ana to San Juan, We venture the assertion that the child is not now alive will live to see war between United States and Japan far as that is concerned, in the United States and nation of the earth. The stature of the American its colossal wealth no less titanic strength, its patriotical spirit—these are some things which bear us out assertion. We are content to pass unworthy of notice the three peppery Jingo element in which seems to be athirst and the ravings of its local type may also be looked at too volatile and evanescent moment's reflection. But Dr. Andrews gives voice folly, it seems time for us and inquire whether we as are entitled to rank intellect very far above the Jingoes of East. We fear Dr. Andrews ever you call a false alarm be correctly quoted, he has hike back to his classroom quest the regents to show vacation. That there exists in Jingo element which, though no clamoring for war, insist such condescension to their trymen in this country attend to invite it, is undoubted its utterances are prompted for home consumption, in proaching parliamentary eloquence than in consequence of a harsh treatment of Japanese dents here. Even this police read by the day's dispatch now silenced in the decree that Minister Aoki is not called, and in the further and Fifth supervisor districts, as we have already shown must inevitably result if the voters approve the issue, and take a chance at having roads in this district paved with what the commission may expend upon them with the remainder. Let no one doubt for a moment that the roads (1) from Santa Ana to San Juan, (2) from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach, and (3) from Santa Ana to Garden Grove, Westminster and Bay City will be constructed, in event bonds carry. Bear in mind, we offer no objection to the improvement of these roads. They are main thoroughfares, and citizens of their districts will undoubtedly appear before the commission offering their strongest arguments in support of them. We only ask, are we to be similarly treated in the northern portion of the county? We have a larger population in the Third supervisor district than these southern sections combined. Are we to be similarly treated? If so, where is the money to come from? Four hundred thousand dollars for these highways in the southern and southwestern sections of the county; $100,000 for roads east and northeast of Santa Ana, to Orange, El Modena and Olive; $50,000 for of the commission, and which includes Anaheim, Anaheim, Buena Park, Orpe, Fullerton, La Habra, Olinda. How much district, which polls a third vote of the county? We subject to Prof. Mills. He how to split hairs.

I do not wish to armist, but the east does not appreengers on the Pacific coast. If we get a president without sufficient should be a probability instead of a venture the assertion that is not now alive who to see war between the states and Japan—nor, so that is concerned, between States and any other of the earth. The giant of the American republic, the invulnerability of the United States will be seen at a glance. The public debt of Japan is probably five times that of the United States, its population one-half. It requires more than a Jingo spirit to prosecute victorious warfare. It takes money, as well as ships, men and fighting material. The balance of trade grows annually more and more in our favor, our navy is having constantly added to it the best fighting ships in the world, and we are coming in every respect to be cocks of the celestial highway. Japan has hardly recovered from her wounds in her life-and-death struggle with the Cossack. A question of war between these two nations is preposterous. The friendliest relations subsist between them. There is nothing to fight for, absolutely nothing. Dr. Andrews is blowing off a superabundance of Nebraska steam, but he will probably settle down, like Mr. Bryan, after a while and forget all about the alarums of war. E. W. McCollum retires from the activities of business in this city on account of ill health which was brought on by too close application to the details of his various interests. Mr. McCollum has resided twelve years in this city and during that time has had only three days off. That is too strenuous a business career for anyone, and he feels it incumbent upon him to retire. A number of years ago he suffered with an attack of sunstroke, back in Pennsylvania, All Grades of Rubber Cotton from 10 Lawn Sprinkler Agent for DIC New and Self-Books The very latest in I give transparent ANAHEIM, CAL. If in N Don’t forget the ER at all times a compl The Southern Pacific push has captured the Los Angeles highway commission, and things are not lacking to indicate that the same machine will corral the Orange county commission when the time comes to name them. That this will prove the ultimate undoing of the good-roads movement, now about "all in" in this county, goes without saying. The railroad machine considers this good-roads movement as its meat. There will be millions of dollars to be paid for freighting rock from distant quarries to the highways sought to be improved. No push for Orange county. Injunction Upheld A remittitur sent down from the supreme court brings an order for the reversal of an order entered in the superior court of this county against the Bolsa Chico gun club. Sixty ranchers in November, 1905, invaded the club's property, armed with shotguns. They destroyed fences and blinds, asserting that they had a right to traverse the tidelands. A second invasion was planned for Thanksgiving day, but a temporary injunction interfered with the plan. This temporary injunction was later dissolved by Superior Judge Z. B. West. The gun club appealed. The supreme court decision is written by Justice Henshaw. He says that the gun club purchased all the property surrounding whatever navigable waters may be on the property and that the public has no right of way to those waters, if any there be there. consumption, in the apparliamentary elections, consequence of any very treatment of Japanese resisence.

He says that the gun club purchased all the property surrounding whatever navigable waters may be on the property and that the public has no right of way to those waters, if any there be there. In declaring that the public has no right of way the decision touches upon the main point of contention, namely, the navigability of Freeman river, a drainage ditch that flows through the lands and to the channel claimed to be navigable. Justice Henshaw says that "the contention that such ditch constitutes a part of the navigable waters of the state or nation is a sham as shallow as the ditch itself." The justice characterizes the idea that a stream in which ocean fish are found, or in which a boat can be poled, necessarily makes the stream a navigable stream as a "popular fallacy." He says that the state can sell tide lands or lands at all times under water and that the property stream on the gun club property is now in private ownership. The remittitur orders that the temporary injunction be restored, pending the trial of the case. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Brooks returned on Sunday evening from Redlands, and returned thither on Monday evening. They leave shortly for their home in Eureka. Mrs. Wilde, mother of the bride, will accompany them and take up her residence with them.
