The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 SUBSCRIPTION - $1.50 Per Year HENRY KUCHEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR Six months...$1.00 Three months...50cts Payable invariably in advance. The GAZETTE is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. THE NEW POSTAL ORDER As was pointed out last week, a new order has been promulgated by the Postmaster-General at Washington affecting publications admitted to the postoffice as second-class mail matter. Newspapers admitted to this class pay postage at the rate of a cent per pound, and it is primarily because this section of the postal regulations has been for years and is now being persistently taken advantage of by illegitimate publications in the larger cities, which are published merely as advertising sheets for one order of merchandise or another, that this new postal regulation has been adopted. No distinction can be made between newspapers, and the sheep go with the goats in this corral. These illegitimate publications flood the mails. Not a week in the year passes but we receive from one or another of them offers of HOBSON'S COWARDLY IN A typical Yankee sailor Santiago, Richmond Pearson has degenerated into the most absurd alarming gards the result of a Japan, that this country known. Mr. Hobson sees especially apprehensive anese of late, and has been the press lurid excerpts of upon this subject which shame a toddling infant latest emanation Mr. Hobson discussing a possible co-tween your Uncle Samuel royal nibs the Mikado, he ready depicted in glowing the defeat of our navy, no million Jap soldiers over the Pacific states, and more way. Here is an extract: "If war breaks out within several chances of success would be seen From precautions and energetic which Japan has been pushing at ever since the Russian forces were back from Manchuria, the Japan ment at this moment could, without noticeable effort, land a force of in the Hawaiian islands. These will be forced immediately by 60,000 equipped soldiers from the 200,000 population of those islands. Another detachment of 200,000 men be rushed across the Pacific to the cisco coast in three months. They could then return for the troops Hawaii, and within six months could all an army of 500,000 soldiers with der line of the United States. A months and this hustling, war could have 1,000,000 men on the P and once there it is not to be est struggle it would cost the United gain the land on which these planted." It is difficult to take the for one order of merchandise or another, that this new postal regulation has been adopted. No distinction can be made between newspapers, and the sheep go with the goats in this corral. These illegitimate publications flood the mails. Not a week in the year passes but we receive from one or another of them offers of clubbing with our journal. One has repeatedly offered us a gold watch, free, "guaranteed for ten years," and another an accident-insurance policy for $1000, if we will agree to club with them. We have uniformly disregarded these offers, and are glad to note the new regulations are especially severe not only upon them, but upon legitimate papers which are indiscreet enough to club with them. The fact that these sharpers are driven to the extremity of making offers of gold watches and other articles, in order to secure the semblance of a bona-fide subscription list, is proof positive that they are fearful of being ultimately debarred entirely from the mails. Coming down to the case of legitimate publications, we quote one of the regulations in the new order, which is as follows: A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of subscriptions, but unless subscriptions are expressly renewed after the term for which they are paid, within the following periods: - Weeklies, one year - They shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at the second-class postage rate," etc. This means that subscribers whose renewals are not made within one year from the date of their expired subscriptions, are not to be considered among the list of legitimate subscribers, and such papers cannot longer be forwarded. As a consequence, unless they are renewed, their names must be struck from the list. It is difficult to take seriously. It is hard to understand what prompts this form of officer to this hysteria. Balances are absolutely beneficial, and while they affect upon the people of the try, the result is quite different. Japan, where probably perused and spur on the hope of a clash with the try. We wish to assure you that the people of the coast have no fear of an invasion—not a bit of it. Case of a collision between vies of these two countries take your Uncle Samuel just as long to polish off the took him to put away that the Asturias not so many ago. A single Jap soldier on Asoil? Not on your life, R Pearson Hobson! The time and place for the republican state co-council has not been announced, hears the name of Los Angeles mentioned in connection with The names of Gov. Gillett A. Knight, M. H. de Young Gen. H. G. Otis are said been agreed upon as large, and Assemblyman M. John of San Luis Obispo is mentioned as a candidate delegate from this congress district. That the delegation be for Taft seems to be a conclusion. It is significant the Southern Pacific police population of those islands. This means that subscribers whose renewals are not made within one year from the date of their expired subscriptions, are not to be considered among the list of legitimate subscribers, and such papers cannot longer be forwarded. As a consequence, unless they are renewed, their names must be stricken from the list. All subscribers to the Gazette will be invited to renew, with that customary politeness which has ever been our distinguishing characteristic, and renewals will be gladly received. Statements are being mailed such subscribers, and our collector will call upon local patrons. Renewals are solicited, and this paper will exert its every effort to comply with the law. It is gratifying to learn that the congressional postal commission is going to take up in earnest the codification and revision of the postal laws. The first federal postal law was enacted in 1835 and as the country has expanded additional statutes chiefly in the form of amendments, have been enacted until the present laws affecting the postal service have come to be so complex that the traditional Philadelphia lawyer could not tell what they mean and members of the commission describe them as a sort of legal crazy-quilt.

Has the matter no greater interest to them than this non-attendance would signify? One packer said at the meeting that he used one-half of one percent of sulphur in his drying procecess, which amounts to ten pounds per ton. This, in the opinion of conservative fruit men is too large a quantity, as they hold half this amount will be sufficient for all purposes. In the words of a grower expressed at the meeting, the fruit men have brought on this purefood ruling themselves, as their use of sulphur has been excessive beyond all reason. Yet fruit cannot be dried by artificial heat, as recommended by Dr. Wiley, and, in the opinion of growers, resort must be had to sulphur. It is to be hoped a satisfactory solution may be arrived at, but the question arises, When a meeting called to consider this most important subject is announced, why do not more of the growers affected attend? Iowa Annual Picnic Iowa Annual Picnic To All Former Iowa: The Iowa association of Southern California will hold its annual picnic on February 22, 1908, at Eastlake Park, Los Angeles, California.

These essays will be limited to 600 words or less, and must reach the office of the secretary by the 10th of February in order to enable the committee to award the prizes. A tent will be placed near headquarters where packages may be checked and left in safety. No advertising of any kind will be allowed and no badges, or souvenirs must be sold except official badges.
