SCHINDLER CHOSEN CAPTAIN SELINGER, SELECTED IN FIRST BALLOTING, REFUSES Spielman Elected First Lieutenant—Ovations Given the Three Guardsmen—Col. Schrieber Makes Pointed Talk to Company, Saying "It is the Beginning or the End of Company E"—Banquet Spread Sergeant Herman Schindler was elected captain of Company E on Thursday evening, after Lieutenant John Selinger had been chosen and peremptorily refused to accept it. Sergeant Speilman was elected first lieutenant to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Lieut. John Kellenberger. Col. Schrieber, commander of the seventh regiment, was present, as was also Major Vestal of Santa Ana as installing officer. Thirty-seven men out of 52 were present, a quorum, sufficient to do business. Of the fifteen absentees the majority are out-of-town members who have been carried upon the rolls for two years, during which time the company has been practically without a head, while under strict military discipline they should have been dropped from the rolls. A number have not been inside the armory in a year. In response to invitations issued by the company, a representative gathering of citizens were present to witness the proceedings. At 8 o'clock members of the company were at sea as to whom to choose for their commanding officer. The names of Lieut. Selinger and Sergeants Schindler, Spielman and Tausch and J. F. Ahlborn, who formerly commanded the company, were mentioned, but each in turn refused to accept the honor. A caucus held in the armory, while Col. Schrieber, said bluntly: "I want you boys to understand that I am not a candidate for tain, do not want the office, nor take it." A recess of ten minutes was ed by Kellenberger, who urges men to come to an agreement to the commanding office company caucussed on the At conclusion of the cause company again fell in, and Schindler and Tausch were in nomination. The vote resulted: Schindler Tausch 8, Pressel 1. Announcement that Schindler been elected captain was greeted applause. In response to calls S came forward and modestly thank you for the honor c upon me. If I can pass the ing board I will accept the which you tender me and do to fill it." Col. Schrieber again address company, saying: "You have Sergeant Schindler your co-ing officer. His troubles are to begin. I can guarantee have a plenty of them. Now to talk business with you and am going to make or break the pany. If you want to make will come down here from Gales three or four times a my own expense and will do to put you on your feet. The pany cannot exist in the serier the fashion that has charac it the past two years." Col. Schrieber spoke plainly men in the ranks, telling their spect and obey their command flicer, as well as him to act in presence of superior officers. rules, he said, applied to him as a private, and when in p of a superior officer, he must scribe by them as well as in the guard. After a short drill by Col. ber, the assemblage proceeded Fellows' hall, where a banq enjoyed In response to invitations issued by the company, a representative gathering of citizens were present to witness the proceedings. At 8 o'clock members of the company were at sea as to whom to choose for their commanding officer. The names of Lieut. Selinger and Sergeants Schindler, Spielman and Tausch and J. F. Ahlborn, who formerly commanded the company, were mentioned, but each in turn refused to accept the honor. A caucus held in the armory, while Col. Schrieber, Major Vestal and others discussed the question in the officers' quarters next the drill hall upstairs, was non-productive of result. It appeared Selinger could have had the place for the asking, but he stoutly refused. While Selinger is a capable officer and popular with the company, he is understood to be persona non-grata to the colonel, whom he took a hand in defeating four years ago, when Finley was chosen regimental commander and headquarters moved from Los Angeles to Santa Ana. Col. Schrieber is gifted with a long memory, and one need not go far in military circles, to hear that Capt. Stern's courtmartial, for a trivial error of judgment, was brought about for the same reason. However, whatever the reason Selinger positively declined the honor. As the company marched upstairs at 8:30 it was given out that the captaincy would develop into a contest between Sergeants Schindler and Tausch. The company fell in once it reached the drill hall and First Sergeant Adams put them through their preliminary paces antecedent to the real skirmish of the evening. First Lieut. Kellenberger took command of the company, and Major Vestal, mustering officer, read orders for the election of a captain. There having been no quorum at the meeting Nov. 19th, the orders prescribed, another meeting was called for the evening of January 7th. Nominations being called for, the following nominations were made: Lieutenant Selinger, Sergeants H. Schindler, Tausch, J. F. Ahlborn. Selinger and Ahlborn declined. The vote resulted: Selinger 12, Schindler 10, Tausch 8, Ahlborn 3, blank 3. Major Vestal announced no selection had been made and ordered another ballot. The second ballot resulted: Selinger 21, Schindler 10, Tausch 6. Announcement that Selinger had been elected captain was greeted with 'prolonged applause. An election for first lieutenant resulted as follows: Sergt. Spielman 22, Schindler 13, Tausch 3. Spielman's election also called for Major Vestal announced no selection had been made and ordered another ballot. The second ballot resulted: Selinger 21, Schindler 10, Tausch 6. Announcement that Selinger had been elected captain was greeted with 'prolonged applause. An election for first lieutenant resulted as follows: Sergt. Spielman 22, Schindler 13, Tausch 3. Spielman's election also called for great applause. Col. Schrieber, who had been an interested spectator of the proceedings, walked to the front of the company, and among other things said: "This is the beginning or the ending of Company E. The company has gone on in a headless manner for two years, and we want no more of that. The government is placing more duties and obligations upon our heads every day. It expects more of us, unless a company is ready and willing to render that service, it had better get out of the way. Now, I am going to talk straight business with you this evening. That is what we are here for. You have elected Lieut. Selinger your commanding officer. He has assured me that he will under no conditions qualify for the office. Now, what are you going to do about it? If you are going to wait for him to qualify and he does not, there will be two weeks gone. Another two weeks to call an election, and you have lost a month. Inspection comes in March, and with this time lost you will be unable to pass inspection, and the inspecting officer will recommend that you be mustered out of the service. It is up to you to say what you are going to do. I suggest that you elect here tonight a man for your commanding officer who will say he will accept the office, who will put his heart and soul in his work, and if you can do this, I will help him." Calls for Selinger came from all parts of the hall. There was much handclapping. Selinger came forward Southern California walnut who are members of the growers' association have achieved returns from their crop gating 7 1-2 cents a pound entire crop, and they have 40 of the crop still left to sell at price of 12 1-2 cents a pound by the association early season and no walnuts were sold up to Jan. 1 for less than price. About sixty per cent crop has been marketed and believe this supply will be up during the next few weeks the market will be ready forance of the crop which, it can probably be sold then for a pound or a little better. WATER FOR ALASKA PLACER MINES Investigations by the United States Geological survey in Alaska establish the fact that the water supply in most of the placer camps is inadequate for the needs of the placer miner. With a precipitation of 10 to 16 inches in the Yukon basin and 15 to 30 inches in Seward peninsula, the climate must be considered semi-arid. Moreover, the frozen condition of the subsoil prevents any ground storage, and the low stream gradients are unfavorable to the utilization of the water supply. All of these factors go to show the inadequacy of the surface waters for the needs of the placer miner—an inadequacy that is emphasized by such dry seasons as those of 1907 and 1908. Unfortunately the operators, slow to recognize this, have been only too ready to regard some of the years of heavy precipitation as normal and many of those of low or moderate precipitation as abnormal. Many hundreds of ditches have been constructed or partly constructed and many expensive plants installed for which the normal water supply was absolutely inadequate. The problem of mining the gravels with an insufficient water supply presents many difficulties, but it will be solved. It is probable that power will be obtained for pumping and other purposes by utilizing water powers in some localities, and the extensive deposits of lignitic coal found in or near some of the placers will also be useful.

Editor Gazette.—I wish to call your attention to article on page two of your last issue, Jan. 7th, in which reference is made to 20,000 tons of beets being handled by this factory for the season of 1908. I presume you took this information from some unreliable source or you would not have made the error. As a matter of fact had you reflected a moment you would have remembered that this factory sliced 66,560 tons of beets from a contract acreage of over 8000 acres and produced over 19,000,000 pounds of sugar for 1908. I hope you will make due correction and in future if you will let me know what you want along this line I will be glad to supply you with original matter for your columns, giving your readers accurate information. Yours very truly, A. W. Jones. County division promises to be a storm center in the present legislature. Several members propose to use the existing county division act as a club to secure the support of certain measures. It is said several county division measures will be introduced for the sole purpose of frightening some week supporters of the anti-race-track gambling bill, into abandoning the cause. Orange county will have no division project to contend against this session. Assemblyman Melrose, who did more than any one man two years ago to defeat the proposed division, is on the ground and says no partition of the county will be attempted, much less permitted. Speaker Stanton is also on record as saying that he will not favor division. Senator Willis of San Bernardino states he anticipates no trouble for his county. He said the county division act passed last session, had spiked several secession movements, such as Pomona's effort to become a separate county. To make splitting counties still harder, he proposes to introduce a measure amending the county division act so as to require not only a 65 per cent vote in the district wishing to separate, but a majority vote in the district left. Willis believes the amendment will meet favor. The supervisors have granted the petition of Huntington Beach citizens for incorporation, but reduced the limits somewhat from those named in the petition.

A fix of 12 1-2 cents a pound was the association early in the fall no walnuts were to be harvested in the next few weeks and it will be ready for the bal-ine crop which, it is said, only be sold then for 10 cts. or a little better. The supervisors have granted the petition of Huntington Beach citizens for incorporation, but reduced the limits somewhat from those named in the petition. A quarter of a mile was lopped off the north, Borchard's property was left out and a strip was taken on the south side, reducing the acreage of the Bolsa ladn company, Pacific electric and Southern Pacific. The election is Feb. 9. The supervisors heard the petitioners for the incorporation of Huntington Beach and heard the five remonstrators—the Huntington Beach company, the Bolsa land company, the Pacific Electric, the Southern Pacific and John Borchard. The claim of petitioners is that the territory is none too large, that all the land included in the proposed limits would be benefited by incorporation, that the present value of lands is due to the development of the beach city. According to figures furnished by the Oxnard commercial company Ventura county, which produces four-fifths of the lima beans grown in California, harvested a trifle over 800,000 sacks this season. In Santa B arbara there were about 60,000 sacks; Orange county, on the Irvine ranch, 135,000 sacks; Santa Monica, 65,000 sacks; Huntington Beach, 15,000 sacks; Oceanside 130,000 sacks. In Los Angeles and Orange counties the scattering lots amounted to about 5000 sacks. There were carried over from last year in this state 50,000 sacks of limas.
