THAT RIVER-BANK ROAD When the Newbert protection district some time ago voted bonds in $185,000 and decided to construct permanent embankments confining the river in a straight channel to the ocean, the supervisors tacitly agreed to maintain a county road upon the west bank from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach. The distance is ten miles and a fraction. Thereafter taxpayers in the district conferred with the Santa Ana committee on gold-paved roads for this county and suggested that this river-bank road be included in the paving area, inasmuch as a road upon lines suggested by the committee of education would cost two or three times the river-bank road. As is well known to followers of this gold-paving proposition, a road from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach is estimated to cost twice the amount expended upon any other similar length of road in the county. When the Newbert protection district, voting as it did $185,000 for the creation of permanent river banks, went to these good steadies. GALL OF THE O'GREEN Our old friend Buck has been a feeling of the public at Huntington Beach and Buck has been talking to the farmers of the land and seems to have been signing up 2000 acres of a sugar factory which he be in operation at Santa Ana year. Buck also talked railway, and actually nerve to offer publicly at ton Beach a free graded way on the east bank of Ana river, after the Newtection district expends $185,000 to confine the new channel and erects solidements upon each side stream. Think of it! The taxpayers of the lands expend $185,000 for ing themselves from river and then here comes our Buck and offers the beach free right of way for a road from Huntington Santa Ana! Buck is saying that Jeems would come through all right wouldn't that surprise you. Buck also said he would bridge was erected across but did not say who would it. Wireless messages fromington Beach are to the horny-handed son handed Buck the tube st ers of this gold-paving proposition, a road from Santa Ana to Huntington Beach is estimated to cost twice the amount expended upon any other similar length of road in the county. When the Newbert protection district, voting as it did $185,000 for the creation of permanent river banks, went to these good roadsters at the county seat and offered them a substantial foundation for their roadbed, what did those gentlemen do? They refused to consider it, maintaining as they probably did that the county would construct the river-bank road leading into Santa Ana, and the gold-paving bonds might be used in part for another road to the county seat from the fertile southwest valley lands. It seems to be all right for Mr. McFadden to offer right of way for an electric railway line on the east bank of the river, but when the good roadsters are offered right of way for a paved thoroughfare along the west bank, they decline to consider it. Here is where the county-seat hog again thrusts his personality upon the over-burdened taxpayers. The hog is not satisfied with one road leading to Huntington Beach, but must have two! Yet the people of Huntington Beach, of Smeltzer, Bolsa, Talbert and the peat are practically a unit against placing the colossal sum of $600,000 in the hands of a county-seat committee to be by it disbursed upon roads as unfairly to outlying sections of the county as this river-bank road deal indicates. It is to be doubted if an election to issue $600,000 bonds for road-paving, if held tomorrow, would receive a fourth of the votes of the county.

It is to be doubted if an election to issue $600,000 bonds for road-paving, if held tomorrow, would receive a fourth of the votes of the county. Yet certain machine politicians at the county seat, aided by discredited railroad touts in various parts of the county, are vainly endeavoring to revive the corpse of these gold-roads bonds. Some of these men are avowed candidates for office; others are out for a place upon the gold-roads commission. Let them understand, once for all, that the Southern Pacific machine is not the whole thing in Orange county politics. The people may rise in their might and swat these pinfeather politicians appropriately at the next election unless they turn from the path of their political sinning and see the new light in the east. As for those aspirants for a job on the commission, let them not deceive themselves. The supervisors may, in an evil moment, be enticed into naming them upon the commission, but in that event there will be no gold-paved bonds voted in Orange county this year, nor next year either.

Taxpayers of the bottom expend $185,000 for protectselves from river overflow, on here comes our old friend and offers the beach people out of way for an electric from Huntington Beach to Ana! Buck is quoted as that Jeems would make it through all right. Now it that surprise you? Also said he would see that a was erected across the river, not say who would pay for less messages from HuntBeach are to the effect that army-handed sons of toil Buck the tube stare. They to Orange county unless it goes to Santa Ana. Riverside secured the station. Can the walnut blight be advanageously handled there, when Riverside raises not a pound of nuts, never has and never will? Can the celery blight be properly investigated there, when Riverside never saw a stalk of celery growing in its history? Can the tomato blight, the watermelon blight, and the other ailments of fruits and vegetables be adequately treated in a county which grows nothing but oranges? Gov. Pardee was himself informed at the Los Angeles meeting that Riverside could not handle the walnut blight, yet he was so occupied in chasing renomination that he forgot all about his plain duty to the growers of these fruits and vegetables. PROPOSITIONS FOR BONDING Santa Ana has voted decisively against raising $50,000 for the erection of necessary school buildings. The newspapers report that the largest vote ever polled at a bond election in that town was cast, the total being 1088. Of this poll, 662 supported bonds for grammar and primary schools, while 393 voted against the issue. A proposed indebtedness of $12,000 for high-school purposes was defeated by a still larger vote, the poll being 549 to 455. That the erection of necessary school buildings is thus defeated is It that surprise you? also said he would see that a was erected across the river, not say who would pay for less messages from Hunt-Beach are to the effect that arny-handed sons of toil Buck the tube stare.

EXPERIMENT STATION good friend Dr. Freeman of on, at last week's chamber commerce meeting in this city, long other things that the why Anaheim lost the state ment station last year was one of our open saloons on." Dr. Freeman is accurate in his observations, is always a pleasure to hearcuss matters of public matter we submit, with all defino our good friend, that in his information is not at rate; on the contrary quiteverse. of Wickson looked into the saloon at all, which we could not fail to have that close upon half the citi-the preceding election voted day closing. After two atto close saloons on Sunday, object failed by only 16 votes total being 1088. Of this poll, 602 supported bonds for grammar and primary schools, while 393 voted against the issue. A proposed indebtedness of $12,000 for high-school purposes was defeated by a still larger vote, the poll being 549 to 455. That the erection of necessary school buildings is thus defeated is unfortunate, for the people owe this plain duty to the future rulers of our country; but that the bonds were defeated by a discredited remnant of the saloons formerly operating in that city is most absurd. What defeated these bonds, necessary as they must be admitted to be, is not the remnant of the saloon, but the growing sentiment against all these indiscriminate bond issues for everything; which is apparent in every section of the county. The cry is for economy, even in respect to the most necessary public improvements. Thus the Newbert river bonds were vigorously opposed, a strong minority fighting them to the close of the polls on election day. Fullerton has a scrap on in reference to an issue of $80,000 for good roads, and the county seat has twice defeated necessary school bonds. This city recently voted $50,000 for enlargements and improvements to its water and lighting service, and now bonds are talked of for sewer purposes and other internal improvements. Taxes are higher in this city than last year, and this is the case in every town of importance in Southern California. A spirit of economy is abroad in the land. Santa Ana's children will be attended to. The citizens of that city will see to that. But these bonds were defeated more by ANAHEIM, CAL.

But these bonds were defeated more by this spirit of economy, which is prevalent everywhere, than for any other one reason. Give us a rest on those $600,000 bonds for gold-paving roads about the county seat. The government's prosecution of the Standard Oil Company is progressing steadily. It has thus far revealed the fact that the Standard Oil Company has made profits of $800,000,000 in the last twenty-five years; that it has frequently violated the law and the mandates of the state supreme courts; that John D. Rockefeller owns one fourth of the stock and that his holdings are worth $109,000,000; that his income amounts to over $21 a minute; that the Standard Oil Company of Indiana—a sort of legal fiction, but actually a part of the real Standard Oil Company—which Judge Landis fined $29,000,000, has been making a profit of 1,000 per cent a year. The government's suit prays the dissolution of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey—the real company which owns all the little companies; little by comparison.

Former Are Beneficial, but the Latter Are Dangerous. A draft is meant the currents of an inclosed space. Our fore-ers attributed nearly all the evils beset them to drafts, and they did not have slept in uncurtained for anything. Of course their blows and doors were shaky, and fires stood far apart, so drafts were only inevitable. But the modern sci-tech world tries to deny drafts alto-er and calls them winds, which are less and even healthy to a certain tree. By one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draft do so in any apartment which has blows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a day on the side of the house which the wind blows.

The leading paper in a provincial town recently published the following matrimonial advertisement: "A young lady of enormous wealth, who is prepared to pay off all the debts of her intended husband, desires to form the acquaintance of a respectable young gentleman with a view to matrimony. Each reply to be accompanied by a photo of the sender and addressed to J. P., at the office of this paper." The delicate hand which drew up the above lines and thereby secured a very large number of offers belonged to no less a personage than Herr Irwig Schlaucheles, who had lately opened a clothing establishment in the town. By means of the photos sent in he was enabled to ascertain which of his would be customers were in the habit of leaving their debts unpaid.—From the German. Hubby's Good Qualities. The curate was making a call on a humble member of his flock, when the good woman, in course of conversation, very much extolled the virtues of her absent husband and finished up by saying, "And he is such a good man too." "In what way?" asked the curate. "Why, sir," she said, "he always says his prayers every night of his life—drunk or sober—he never misses that."—London Telegraph.
