ROYAL BAKING POWDER The most highly refined and healthful of baking powders. Its constant use in almost every American household, its sales all over the world, attest its wonderful popularity and usefulness. RAILROAD LOBBY AT CAPITAL PEOPLE'S REPRESENTATIVE OUT LYNCH'S PUSH COMES IN Primary Election Law, Railroad Rate Legislation, Abolishment of Railroad Commission, Reciprocal Demurrage and Other Bills Claim the Attention of Paid Machine Men [Correspondence of The Gazette.] Sacramento, Feb. 13.—The next three weeks bid fair to be the busiest legislative weeks in the history of California. Friday marked the last day permitted for the introduction of bills in either house, excepting by consent of two-thirds of the members. The remainder of the session will be devoted exclusively to the consideration of the measures already introduced, with possibly a few emergency measures. The senate has kept itself well in mission should have the power initiative. The Southern Pacific road, through its shrewdest attorney has expressed the fear that this person will be invoked. It is to prevent the enactment of legislation and these lines that the railroad looms is now so active. Senators Sanford, Caminetti., ler and Campbell, by their pernence in keeping before the se measures intended actually to regulate and control the railroads, in some cases to permit the commissions to take the initiative in the matter of rate regulation, have caused the cold chills to run up and de the spinal columns of the railroad chief representatives. This, more than anything else, accounts for attitude of these notorious lobbyists in defying public sentiment, and ing as far as they dare toward fringement of the rules of the houses of the legislature. One who has been keeping c watch of the work of the railroad lobby, not only about the capitol at its headquarters on the second floor of the Capital hotel, intima that something of a sensational Sacramento, Feb. 13.—The next three weeks bid fair to be the busiest legislative weeks in the history of California. Friday marked the last day permitted for the introduction of bills in either house, excepting by consent of two-thirds of the members. The remainder of the session will be devoted exclusively to the consideration of the measures already introduced, with possibly a few emergency measures. The senate has kept itself well in hand during the past week; but the assembly unfortunately came so near to running amuck on the Japanese question this week and the week before that it was hardly in mental condition to give serious thought to other big issues. The Southern Pacific railroad lobby, represented in the persons of John C. Lynch, George Hatton, Jere Burke and Walter Parker, has been very much in evidence here during the past few days. Upon the advent of the People's Lobby during the first days of the session, the railroad lobbyists made themselves scarce. Being men of discernment, these notorious lobbyists reached the conclusion that the atmosphere surrounding The People's Lobby was hardly conducive to the welfare of the direct antithesis of the new factor in state politics. A prominent member of the senate suggested one day: "Grove Johnson says that the representatives of the People's Lobby are not fit to breathe the same air as he and Beardslee and Johnston and the remainder of the machine element in the lower house. Doesn't it strike you that Burke and Parker feel pretty much the same way about the People's Lobby? Whether they do or not, it looks to me as if they had determined to give you a monopoly of the air around the capitol this session." But this senator was mistaken. It did look so until a few days ago, but on the day following the wheedling argument in behalf of the railroad made by Peter Dunne at the senate committee's hearing on the Stetson bill, the railroad lobby returned to the attack in full force. The most conspicuous figures about the capitol corridors from that time to the present have been these four men. They do not dare of course to enter the legislative chambers, but they have personally called out certain members of both houses during sessions, and made their pleas in the corridors and quiet nooks about the capitol. Some of the members who are thus ordered out during the transaction of the affairs of the state appear complacent in the company of these spinal columns of the railroads chief representatives. This, more than anything else, accounts for attitude of these notorious lobbyists in defying public sentiment, and ling as far as they dare toward fringement of the rules of the houses of the legislature. One who has been keeping watch of the work of the railroad lobby, not only about the capitol at its headquarters on the second floor of the Capital hotel, intima that something of a sensational nature probably will develop within few days. It is said that certain prominent members of each hour affiliated with the railroad machinel in the past, have been extraordinarily discreet in permitting themselves to be seen so frequently in intimate association with these lobbyists. When the Stetson bill, as amended comes up for passage, the votes of these men, whose names have yet been made public, will be no with keen interest.

The most conspicuous figures about the capitol corridors from that time to the present have been these four men. They do not dare of course to enter the legislative chambers; but they have personally called out certain members of both houses during sessions, and made their pleas in the corridors and quiet nooks about the capitol. Some of the members who are thus ordered out during the transaction of the affairs of the state appear complacent in the company of these lobbyists; but it is noted, and variously commented upon, that several in each house who decide that for reasons best known to themselves it is better to respond to the demand for an interview on the time of the state, exhibit nervousness when seen talking with one of these lobbyists. Such as these are beginning to realize that it won't look well for them to go upon record as having submitted to the demands of the railroad lobby during the hours when they are supposed to be attending to the state's business, while at the same time the chief representative of the People's Lobby is not even permitted to place his feet upon the floor of the assembly gallery. For the first time in the history of politics in California, and likewise for the first time in the history of the United States, an avowed representative of the whole people of the state is prohibited from entering the assembly chamber, including its gallery, at any time during day or night whether the assembly is in session or not. At the same time the Lynches and the Parkers and the Hattons and the Burkes are allowed free access to both chambers at all times when the assembly is not in session. The feeling is growing in Sacramento that if there is to be any sort of effective legislation of railroad rates, the interstate commerce commission and the state railroad commission on Saturday, Feb. 20. Two thousand tags are going to be sold by the Ebbell club for the benefit of the library and then some. Keep the ball rolling; everybody busy; and we will soon get our fine building filled up. Last week more books and magazines were loamed than any time in the history of the library. About 75 people visited the library Sunday afternoon. Thos. Armstrong, Librarian.

At the Methodist church next Sabbath, Feb. 21, subjects of discourse as follows: Morning, “A Model Church Member.” Evening, “Money, or the mistake of some rich men, and some who desire to be rich.” Fred Backs Jr. experienced a slight electrical shock some days ago when he picked up a telephone wire which had fallen in front of his place of business on Los Angeles street. The fact that the wire was imbedded in the muddy street alone save him from further injury. At the Methodist church next Sabbath, Feb. 21, subjects of discourse as follows: Morning, "A Model Church Member." Evening, "Money, or the mistake of some rich men, and some who desire to be rich." Fred Backs jr. experienced a slight electrical shock some days ago when he picked up a telephone wire which had fallen in front of his place of business on Los Angeles street. The fact that the wire was imbedded in the muddy street alone save him from further injury. The wire was later adjusted by telephone employees without further mishap. Jim Corona was the victim of an nervy a thief as ever inflicted his unholy presence at Olinda. A few nights ago a brood sow was killed in its pen, near Corona's house, and was slaughtered and taken away. Corona heard the swine squeal as it was struck upon the head by the marauder; but did not suspect that a thief was paying his barnyard a midnight visit. The next morning he discovered the entrails lying at the side of the pen. The pig was valued at $40. There is no clue to the perpetrator of the deed. If President-elect Taft should visit Anaheim at any time in the future, he may be regaled with a dish which for gastronomical delights throws "possum and tater" into the shade. Nor can the saddle of southdown mutton of Kentucky, nor the chicken stuffed with mushrooms which he sat down to at New Orleans, hold a candle to this toothsome morsel. This epicurean dainty is none other than Manudo, which is served by Don Manuel Crespin, is calculated to make one forget the torments of cabinet making, and will convert a lock canal into sea level at sight. The dish is composed of tripe, hominy and calves' feet, and when prepared by the deft hands of Mrs. Crespin is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. We hope Mr. Taft will come to Anaheim, if for nothing else, than for Manudo. It's great. WHAT OUR PATRONS SAY (The following unsolicited letter speaks for itself.) Mr. Geo. Dietrich, Anaheim, Cal.
